Rumors of X FACTOR judge Britney Spears exiting the show have run rampant in recent weeks, with sources saying one thing, and Fox execs saying another. Today, Fox chairman Kevin Reilly spoke about the upcoming third season of THE X FACTOR at the TCA, and claims that neither he nor Simon Cowell have discussed potential openings on the judge's panel (aside from L.A. Reid, who will most definitely not be back).
Rumors of X FACTOR judge Britney Spears exiting the show have run rampant in recent days, following US Weekly's report that the singer would be 'getting the boot' from Fox's singing-competition show. However, a spokesperson from THE X FACTOR told The Hollywood Reporter otherwise today.
According to the latest issue of US Weekly, X FACTOR host Britney Spears will be fired from her post as judge of the popular singing competition. An insider tells Hot Stuff, 'Britney will get the boot. Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working.'
