Britney Spears close to signing deal to become a judge on @TheXFactorUSA. Could this be the comeback she needs?

Poor Britney Spears has been unemployed for so long, it’s about time she gets some good news! It looks like she’ll be named as a new judge on “X Factor” any day now.
Sources confirm the singer is in final-stage negotiations with Fox and X Factor producers to join the series this fall. Spears has reportedly haggled a $15 million payout for the gig (slightly more than Jennifer Lopez snagged for American Idol).
If the deal closes, Spears could be an ideal choice to boost music competition’s ratings: She has both credible music industry experience and a chaotic personality that’s lent itself to fun headlines over the years. That’s the type of celebrity mixture that Factor chief Simon Cowell can work with.
Britney Spears has been offered $15 million to be an X-Factor judge. The courts/conservatorship must agree

Word is, Britney Spears is thisclose to joining #TheXFactor as a judge. The show still needs another judge… Mariah or Pink would be great!
