Britney Spears Officially Joins the X-Factor Crew

It is official. Britney Spears is now an X-Factor judge on the panel with Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid. After the wrapping of the first season, Simon was quick to fire judges Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and British host Steve Jones (who was pretty horrible by the way, I mean he said Twitter like 'Tweeta').

So in the off-season, there was a controversy surrounding the second season of the show and who would fill in the place of the two previous judges. After much speculation, Miss Britney Spears will be one filling that seat and I am pretty excited to tune into the second season now. I mean who wouldn't say that Britney Spears doesn't have an X-Factor because she is a total X-Factor who is still a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. I feel that through everything she has experienced as a teen icon, to periods of trials and tribulations, and her comeback into the music scene, she has definitely been through a lot and made it out on top.

Now, rumors are still circling whether another judge would come into the mix and gossip is pointing to young idols Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato. Honestly, I don't think those two girls have been through enough to be considered a judge for a big talent competition. But then again, they do want to make this show more interesting and cater to a bigger audience to compete against the other talent shows such as American Idol, The Voice, and America's Got Talent. Guess we'll have to see wait until the contract is signed. By the way, Britney Spears will be making BANK...who wouldn't want $15 million for a season? Cha-Chinggggg!!!

(If This Is True) Simon Cowell Offers Beyonce $500M To Be X-FACTOR Head; Poised To Be 1st Black BILLI Music Artist & Model!

Media Takeout often produces confirmed truths by rumors, and a lot of times RUBBISH.

But let's see here... it is REPORTED that Simon Cowell offered Beyonce Giselle Knowles $500 MILLION (5-yr, $100M/yr contract) to become the new head of X-Factor. If this is true and Beyonce accepts, she will become the world's first BLACK BILLIONAIRE MUSIC ARTIST and MODEL, putting her in the ranks of Oprah Winfrey for entertainment.

You can only imagine what could possibly be spent on Blue Ivy Carter by both parents.

So we'll see. In the meantime, check out some of Beyonce's latest and greatest looks, prior and during pregnancy:

I hated this dress when I first saw it.... then it grew on me.

Cool pics, ain't they? Heyyy.... wipe up your drool and close your mouth.

BATTLE OF THE SINGING COMPETITIONS::AMERICAN IDOL VS. THE VOICE

Of course this was inevitable, two singing competitions on different networks, both reality, yet very different...While American Idol is on it's tenth season with FOX, The Voice is on it's first season on NBC and is getting rave reviews.

Musician and judge Adam Levine was the first to throw a low blow saying, "The people that we're not turning our chairs around for could win American Idol."

The 'dawg' Randy Jackson quickly responded firing back, "It's a great thing when talent can be simple, honest and revered as opposed to spinning around with gimmicky chairs. Maybe Simon Cowell should have people opening doors. Like, 'Knock, knock; Who's singing? I can't see you!'Look, none of these other shows could exist without somebody forging the path before them. I'm happy to say that Idol did that and paved the way."

So which one do you like better? I honestly prefer American Idol over The Voice because it's a pretty simple competition that can be molded into so many different challenges. The talent on American Idol is way better than The Voice, hands down. The only thing great about that show is seeing Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.

With X Factor about to make it's American debut soon, what is the future for reality singing competitions? Randy Jackson comments, "My only fear is that with all these shows coming is that people don't tire of the format. I don't know how much singing at you the public can take." True that dawg! You can't have so many of the same kinds of shows that have the same foundation, because in actuality it's a SINGING SHOW! There seriously needs to be more ideas for reality shows out there.
