Britney Spears Won't Be Returning To X Factor, Reports Claim

Posted on Thu Jan 10th, 2013 7:55am PDT       By X17 Staff

britneyspearsxfactor230pic.jpgIt's almost certain that Britney Spears won't be returning for another season of X Factor, at least according to various reports.

A source tells The Hollywood Reporter: "The writing's on the wall."

Months ago, reports began circulating that the head honchos of the hit Fox show weren't happy with Britney's performance as a judge and didn't find her worth the $15 million for one year.

Fox has not commented on whether Brit will be back next season, however Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly did say the following:

    "I think Britney did a really good job. Maybe some people were waiting for more drastic displays of some nature that never came, so for those expecting that, it didn’t happen. … She’s just an interesting figure who’s lived a unique life, and I thought she brought some of that.”


L.A. Reid will not be returning. No word on whether Demi Lovato will be back. As for Simon Cowell, he's been relaxing in St. Barth on a yacht with ex fiancee Mezghan Hussainy.

For someone who seems to be on an all-liquid diet, Jessica Alba is awfully happy!

The 31-year-old actress was snapped coming and going from the Honest Company's headquarters in Santa Monica on Wednesday, and we noticed that she was carrying a large box of bottles from Pressed Juicery. While she could be treating her co-workers to healthy drinks, we have a feeling she's on a juice cleanse ahead of awards season this winter.

The Sin City starlet was also carrying a copy of Room by Emma Donoghue, which is the story of a boy named Jack, who lives in a single room with his mother and has never been outside. When he turns five, his mother reveals that there is a whole different world beyond their walls. It's not exactly Fifty Shades of Grey, but it sounds like an interesting read...

From Sydney to Paris to Los Angeles, Nicole Kidman has been all over the place lately!

The actress flew in to L.A.X. on Wednesday evening, and she looked thrilled to be back in the states to see her hubby Keith Urban and their two daughters, Faith and Sunday Rose. The family spent New Year's in Australia, but Nic flew to Paris shortly thereafter to resume filming on Grace of Monaco.

We bet the American Idol judge is thrilled to have her back!

Reese Witherspoon was spotted arriving at her yoga class in Santa Monica on Wednesday morning, and she's laughed off reports that she's lost all of her baby weight after giving birth three months ago.

"I don't know if I'm bouncing back. I'm slowly crawling back," the Oscar winner told Extra last month. "You know, all of your joints feel wobbly, and your head is sort of confused ... You just have to be gentle and patient with yourself and just sort of, you know, slowly get back to your health."

Sounds like a good plan!

 

Beyonce Shows Us Exactly Why Jay-Z Put A Ring On It

Beyonce has made hubby Jay-Z one happy man, and after seeing this GQ cover, we're pretty happy, too!

The sexy songstress is gracing the cover of February's 100 Sexiest Women of The 21st Century issue.

Although we know Beyonce worked out hard to get this tight bod, she credits her slim-down to breast-feeding daughter Blue Ivy ... who was born just last year.

Beyonce has been confirmed as a performer for the 57th Presidential Inauguration taking place later this month. We have a feeling she won't be wearing this!

On Wednesday Hilary Duff took her adorable son Luca to a Mommy and Me class, and she was beaming when we snapped her picture on the way out.

Not only does Hil have a few new projects in the works (she inked a talent and development deal with 20th Century Fox TV last summer ... can't wait to see what comes from that!), but by the looks of it, she's definitely dropped quite a few pounds. Yesterday the 25-year-old starlet posted an impressive snapshot from her Pilates class, so not only is she sweating it out and getting her pre-baby body back, but she's definitely more flexible now than ever before.
