Britney Spears To Perform On ‘X-Factor’
MTVNews UK is reporting that Simon Cowell (head meanie on American Idol) has worked out a deal to have Britney Spears perform her new single Womanizer (due to hit radio stations here in the US next week) on the UK show X-Factor (which is kinda like American Idol) in December. If this performance actually comes to fruition, it will be the first time that Britney will perform in the UK since her Onyx Hotel Tour visited Londontown 4 years ago:
Britney Spears is set to perform on The X Factor – in her first visit to Britain in four years! If anyone was going to tempt Britney back to Britain, it was bound to be X Factor extraordinaire Simon Cowell. Cowell has reportedly persuaded the ‘Toxic’ star to perform her new single, Womanizer, on the hit ITV1 show in December. It will be Britney’s first visit here since her Onyx Hotel tour more than four years ago. A source from X Factor told The Sun: “Everyone is thrilled. To have Britney involved is a massive coup. They expect ratings to go through the roof when her performance airs.”
Woot! This is great news for the Brits! Britney has yet to commit to (or even announce) plans to perform here in the US so all y’all on that side of the pond have scored a big coup. I mean, why should we Yanks get to enjoy all the Britney ourselves … I don’t mind sharing. I know that there are hordes of loyal Britney fans in the UK (actually, all over Europe and the rest of the world) who have be anxiously awaiting her big musical comeback just like we have here so I’m happy that at least y’all have a live performance to look forward to. I’m hoping that Britters will be doing some performing here in the US as well … but in due time. I’m really looking forward to seeing what she’s got planned up her sleeve … but when she’s ready to show us. Might she be among the live in-person guests on the final ep of TRL when the show goes off the air this November? My money says yes …

Kinda like? Erm the UK version has been around longer than American Idol. Also with Simon Cowell. It’s just had a name change, really.
XFactor is only worth watching in the final month, while they weed out the egotistical morons and the people who can’t actually sing.

So JEALOUS! Hopefully she’ll be on TRL for the finale, but if not THANK THE GOOD LORD for youtube! Hopefully this, and other performances, will get the musical portion of her comeback up and running. I can’t wait to see Britney back on stage, I will surely see a few stops of any US touring she does!

Trent, can you please add a drop shadow to your cut outs so the parts you missed don’t stand out as much (I know hair is a BITCH to do but it’s when shadows come in the most handy)? I love the blog and I read it religiously but as a graphics freak and the yearbook editor (it’s a huge deal for all the haters out there..), I can’t stand a weirdy cut out.
