Britney Spears Will Get Record $15 Million Payday to Be X Factor Judge
Britney Spears and Simon Cowell are about to become TV’s next power couple. The pop princess is thisclose to signing a big-bucks deal to become a judge on X Factor, multiple sources have exclusively confirmed to E! News.
After weeks of heavy negotiating, Britney’s team has finally agreed to a $15 million fee for the role. “Both camps were back and forth on the money but now they have finally come to agreement on the fee,” says one insider with intimate knowledge of the pending deal. “That was the big sticking point and now, thankfully, it’s been sorted. All they need to do now is work out the smaller points. The fact the money is now set, means that there is nothing stopping this from becoming a reality.”
And this will be a package deal: coming along for the ride with Britney is fiancé Jason Trawick.
A second source reveals that her soon-to-be husband (who is also petitioning to become coconservator of her estate), will become a producer on the show. “Jason is expected to be there every day Britney is on set. He is her rock and will help guide her through the process. He is the person she trusts the most,” the second source tells us.
The deal will make Spears the highest paid judge on reality television, eclipsing Jennifer Lopez‘s $12 million deal for American Idol. Barring any last-minute snafus, Spears will fill one of two X Factor judging vacancies after Cowell fired Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger at the close of the show’s first season.
A rep for the X Factor would neither confirm nor deny whether Spears was even being considered. However a production insider tells E! News that “this is an exciting time for [Britney]. It’ll be a fun project and she is welcoming the chance to mentor up-and-coming artists. She loves the idea of helping emerging talent get the recognition they deserve and is really looking forward to being on the show.”
“She gets on very well with Simon. He has worked hard at persuading her to start this new chapter in her career. She is an icon, and the perfect example of what having the X Factor means.
“She’s really looking forward to the project and being able to connect with her fans.”
Britney is expected to start her new role in the middle of May but there’s no word yet on who will fill the final spot, according to the show source.
“The decision of who will join Simon, Britney and L.A. is yet to be made. Simon really wanted Britney confirmed first. Once that is done, he can make the final preparations.”
In a conference call, which took place before Spears’ deal was imminent, Cowell waxed lyrical about his new judge, “The fact that she’s one of the most talked about—not just pop stars, but people—in the world today means that you’ve got this star power. She’s still hot, she’s still having hit records, and she’s still controversial. There’s a reason for that.”
In addition to two new judges, Simon is also hiring a new pair of hosts. X Factor is slated to return to Fox in September.

Britney Spears – Hold It Against Me (a J!-ENT World Groove Digital Single Review)
January 25, 2011 by Dennis Amith · Leave a Comment
This is one seductive hit from Ms. Spears and another fantastic single showing us that she Britney still has it! Catchy beats, sexy lyrics…it’s hot! Awesome!
ARTIST: Britney Spears
DIGITAL SINGLE: Hold It Against Me
LABEL: Jive Records
DURATION: 3:49
RELEASE DATE: January 17, 2011
- Hold It Against Me
Britney Spears returns with an new single in 2011 titled “Hold it Against Me” which is off her upcoming seventh full-length album of the same title.
The single features a collaboration with Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee and Billboard (Canadian producer who worked with Ke$ha for the songs “Cannibal” and “Animal” and Robyn).
The single is very club/dance orientated featuring industrial beats, dubstep and rave and the lyrics are nothing short of sexy, which is the typical musical mantra of the pop diva. The song is pretty hot and love the music and the hook resembles the Cutting Crew classic “I just Died in Your Arms Tonight”.
But overall, this is one seductive hit from Ms. Spears and another fantastic single showing us that she Britney still has it! Catchy beats, sexy lyrics…it’s hot! Awesome!
