Britney Spears has reached a contract to serve being a judge on Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" -- and also the payday is actually something to sing about.
The "Womanizer" singer will collect $15 million overall for that gig -- approximately $13 million to gauge music-industry aspirants alongside Cowell and record executive L.A. Reid, as well as the rest like a bonus for performing on the program, an individual with familiarity with the deal told TheWrap.
The offer has been arranged, but has not yet yet been signed. Spears continues to be under a conservatorship following her mid-2000s breakdown, together with her father, Jamie Spears, becoming her guardian.
Fox didn't have comment for TheWrap about this story. Spears' manager has not yet yet returned TheWrap's require comment. As reported exclusively by TheWrap in March, Spears rejected a $10 million offer to evaluate on the show, and instead was seeking $20 million for your gig.
Though Spears will not be getting just what she hoped for, the singer's payday does compare favorably to her soon-to-be peers inside the music-competition arena: Christina Aguilera is raking in well over $10 million to mentor the present second season of NBC's "The Voice." And Spears' "X Factor" predecessor, Paula Abdul received a comparatively paltry $2.5 million to evaluate on the first season.
The average person told TheWrap that, by Tuesday night, the "X Factor" and Spears camps remained as weeks far from a deal, with "X Factor" researching ways to trim its budget therefore it could present an even more favorable offer for Spears. However, reports Tuesday night how the two sides had already reached an arrangement spurred the parties arrive at an agreement earlier.
Following its first season, which failed by way of a long shot to do up to Cowell's predictions, "The X Factor" went into full meltdown mode, firing judges Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, in addition to host Steve Jones. Cowell has stated that the second season will feature two judges, preferably a male along with a female.
