Britney Spears will wow The X Factor

Thursday, 25th September 2008


Simon Cowell has confirmed that rejuvenated pop star Britney Spears will perform on a forthcoming episode of The X Factor.

Britney has had it tough of late with losing custody of her kids and trying to get her life back on track following the breakdown of her marriage.

So this is a step in the right direction for her career, and the X Factor, according to Cowell.

He tells showbiz website Extra: "Yes, I think Britney Spears is going to perform on The X Factor.

"We didn't GET her, she's got a record coming out but we're absolutely thrilled to have her."

But where would Simon Cowell be without his little quips? He adds: "The fact that she goes a bit crazy occasionally makes her more interesting.

"I've always said this about Britney - that she's a hugely talented person.

"Everyone wants to work with her because she's a star.

"She's the number one booking in the world at the moment for a show."

Britney is tipped to perform her brand new single "Womanizer" on the show, although Cowell's not too worried if she goes a bit mental again beforehand.

He adds: "If she wants to shave her head before she comes on the show, she's welcome to. I don't care.

"And now she has her career back on track. Fantastic. I'm thrilled."

We can't wait, Simon!
