Britney Spears is thisclose to signing a deal with X Factor producers to be one of the show’s next judges, according to multiple reports.

According to Deadline.com, Britney has been offered $10 million for the gig, which would put her just under the $12 million that Jennifer Lopez is making at the rival American Idol.

Neither reps for X Factor head Simon Cowell, nor FOX is commenting yet.

Britney’s back! The singer took the stage in Las Vegas last night and performed three new tunes off her upcoming album — in a leather bodysuit, no less.

Britney Spears sang in front of more than a thousand screaming fans at Rain nightclub at the Palms Friday night, making her first live show since 2009 very memorable. She sang “Hold It Against Me,” “Till the World Ends,” and “Big Fat Bass” off her upcoming album Femme Fatale, which drops Tuesday!

“OMFG it feels good to be on stage again!!” she posted on Twitter after the show.

“We are extremely excited to have one of the most iconic artists of all time back at the Palms,” owner George Maloof told UsMagzine.com in statement. “Britney’s performances were unbelievable and her fans will never forget this night.”

The mini concert was actually supposed to be a big surprise, but the cat got out of the bag Friday afternoon. Brit tweeted: “Looks like my little secret isnt a secret anymore. Whos coming to watch me take the stage TONIGHT at @RainLasVegas at @PalmsLasVegas? -Brit”



Britney Spears is the cover girl for V Magazine’s Spring issue, and she’s looking and feeling better than ever.

The superstar discusses her new hugely anticipated seventh album Femme Fatale, which drops on March 29, declaring, “I think it’s the best album I’ve ever made.”

How has she managed to remain on top after more than a decade in the biz?

“I have learned to always stay true to myself and never let what other people say about me change who I am,” Spears says. “It’s a really important lesson that took me a long time to learn.”

On how she’s changed since her early years in Hollywood, the mom of two says, “I think it’s easier to let people in when you’re younger, but when I became a mother I wanted more privacy for myself and my children. A life away from my life,” she explains.

When her interviewer asks Spears what she’d like people to know about her today, she laughs, “The b**ch is back and better than ever!”

Britney Spears debuted the music video for her new song “Hold It Against Me” on Thursday night, and it has something for everyone — especially if you’re strongly considering making a few purchases.

Spears briefly dances in a wedding dress, then fist fights herself, but the real stars are the product placements: her own perfume line, dating site PlentyofFish.com, Sony electronics and perhaps more.

Now that the entire world has become even more obsessed with Britney Spears, her choreographer Brian Friedman shared new details with MTV on Britney’s video for her new single ‘Hold It Against Me’.

“Someone like Britney, she was born to dance,” he told MTV. “This is a dance video; rehearsals can get pretty rough. We’re playing it safe, we’re not trying to kill ourselves, but as the video comes closer and closer we will definitely be hurting our backs. There was a moment while we were rehearsing where I showed Britney a section and it was something I really wanted her to do, and she freaked out — it’s crazy when you first see something like that just how overwhelming it can be, especially when you haven’t been in the dance studio for a year. It was probably the wrong section to show her first, but she learned it and she’s killing it now.”

“She’s fun to work with,” he continued. “She’s a southern girl, she’s all about having fun and laughing and cracking jokes. I think you can expect the unexpected from Britney. She’s taking risks when it comes to fashion, when it comes to choreography, when it comes to this music — she’s grown up so much, and she’s pushing thirty years old soon, so she’s a strong independent woman and I think she wants to show that.”

Getting into a daily dance practice routine, Britney Spears was back at the studio in West Hollywood, California on Wednesday afternoon (January 12).

Swapping in and out of two separate outfits, the pop princess worked on her moves before later heading off to a nail salon for a little pampering.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Spears’ latest single “Hold It Against Me” has become the #1 on the iTunes list and is said to have broken radio records.

Thanking her fans, Brit tweeted, “Seriously, I have the best fans ever. I love you all so much!! Everything I do is for you! xoxo Brit”

Meanwhile, reports tell that Spears is now under fire from the Bellamy brothers who claim she “ripped off” their song.

This year’s People’s Choice Award nominees were announced this morning in LA, and many of our favorite stars are in the running. The Twilight crew got lots of love with eight nods, including for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s solo performances. The third installment in their series, Eclipse, is up against Inception for Favorite Drama Movie. Angelina Jolie will face off against Kristen for Favorite Movie Actress, while Britney Spears’s turn on Glee earned her love in the Best TV Guest Star category. On the music front, Lady Gaga is in the running for four awards.

It’s bound to be a star-studded event.

Britney Spears was spotted leaving Michael’s craft store in Santa Barbara carrying a Coach Julia Satchel in Berry. The 28-year-old pop princess checked out arts and crafts supplies with boyfriend Jason Trawick and his parents. We love the bag and it’s perfect for a day of running errands but the rest of her outfit is less than desirable.
