Britney Spears: OUT of The X Factor!

As has been rumored pretty much since the minute Season 2 sputtered to a close, Britney Spears will not be back on The X Factor this year.

However, new intel indicates it’s entirely by choice – hers.

Sources say there is no bad blood or in-fighting involved; Britney loves the show yet wants to focus on her music, which she’s working on right now.

If that’s just an excuse to get off this sinking ship, it’s a satisfactory one.

And true. Brit’s in the studio recording her 8th album, with Will.i.am & producer Hit-Boy, the brains behind Kanye & Jay-Z’s “N****s in Paris.”

“Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato yet her thing is music,” says an insider.

After she completes the album, Britney is considering a tour … where she’ll likely make way more than the $15 million X Factor would pay her to sit there awkwardly.

Life is good.
