Britney Spears: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

X Factor auditions began Thursday in Austin, Texas. About which I wouldn’t have known, but there were rumblings about what’s really been going on with Britney Spears and what happened during her first day. According to TMZ.com, the 30-year-old is doing more than just love-vomming platitudes while blinking the Morse code for C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E-M-I-L-K, ‘she’s being articulate, encouraging and even funny at times.’ But the tabloids are rumbling about this being a recipe for disaster, with fears she will break down before shooting wraps. Us Weekly’s sources say: ’Doing X Factor may lead her back into meltdown territory. She gets extremely nervous and anxious. She’s hard on herself and not very confident. For her, it’s all input as stress. This is a lot of change at once for Britney. She’s coming undone… She really is starting to seem loopy and not right. She is so happy one minute and sad and crying the next. Her emotions are fragile. She is very scared and overwhelmed by the thought of it. Now that she’s gotten financially stable again, she is starting to let loose and let old demons come out.’

A Stoner Wrote Britney Spears’ X Factor Rider

Britney Spears’ X Factor rider has purportedly leaked, and I’m running with it despite its glaring omissions of paste, crayons, chocolate milk, Red Bull, gum, or Starbucks. A source tells LOOK Magazine Team Britney requires 24-pack cases of Diet Coke, 10 snack-sized bags of Doritos, 10 pieces of chicken, four pints of potato salad, and 12 Snickers bars replenished each week. She also asked for 12 vases of magnolia blossoms for her dressing room, 34 Herve Leger dresses, and a team comprised of a personal manicurist, a facialist, and a massage therapist.

Britney Knows You Know She Likes Chocolate Milk

According to a new report, lovingly copy & pasted from the iPad of her rep by taking a photo of the screen then scanning it as a JPEG, Britney Spears is competent enough to eat paste as Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell, and L.A. Reid judge X Factor. The singer is reportedly telling friends she likes chocolate milk, and she’s ready to deal with the pressure of auditions and live shows this season.

A source tells RadarOnline.com the following because apparently no one’s concerned about Lovato: ‘Britney is well aware of what the critics are saying about her… She is anxious to prove to everyone that she isn’t just a ditzy blonde. And she is hunkered down with Jason, who will be with her at all times during the auditions and filming… Jason is obviously concerned about the pressure Britney is placing on herself. She is a perfectionist when it comes to her work but she is still under a conservatorship and she does continue to see a mental health professional at least once a week. If Jason feels that more time with Britney’s therapist is needed, that will absolutely happen. [But] if they didn’t think she could handle the job, she wouldn’t have accepted it. The judge handling Spears’ conservatorship will be notified immediately if Britney is having any difficulty.’

Don’t Ask Mariah Carey About Britney Spears

I watched intently, as Britney Spears was carted out in front of a studio audience for the Fox Upfronts presentation to Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. The 31-year-old stood, without swaying, and recited her lines, and nothing went majorly wrong in the 10-seconds during which she spoke. Except, she remained glassy-eyed and zombified. And there’s a distinct chance she’ll sit in abeyance through the auditions and live shows not even risking further scripted platitudes. I’ve included video from the event and you can watch video of her attempt to think on the spot here. You’ll see what I mean. In any case, don’t ask Mariah Carey who, for reasons unknown, was prodded into giving this response: ‘You think I focus on that stuff? Have we met? I love [Britney], honestly. I think she’s a very nice person, but I don’t care who’s going on that show. As long as it’s not me.’

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato: The Countdown

I’ve started the ‘DIS GUN BE GUD’ timer on my cell. So, don’t worry, there’s an official count of how long it’ll take one woman with mental health issues and one recovering addict to be assassinated by Disney for shaming the family name. I got two-weeks. Is that enough time? I don’t know, you tell me. Here are photos of the official line-up, as presented by Fox at its Upfront event. This follows the weekend addition of Demi Lovato, who told the UK’s Fabulous Magazine late April that appearing on television so soon would compromise her recovery: ‘I need to be secure in my body before I go back in front of the camera. Anyone in recovery from an eating disorder would find that triggering, and I’m not ready.’ But she’s ‘ready’ three-weeks later because MONIES. Included are photos from the girls’ Twitter accounts, photos from the Fox presentation, and Britney Spears’ cellulite because it’s literally the newest photo of her from my agency.

Demi Lovato Will Also Be An X Factor Judge

It was revealed late last week that Britney Spears was in the final stages of becoming a judge on American X Factor, although TMZ Live was keen to dispel the rumour that she ‘signed’ the contract since the singer remains under conservatorship and doesn’t have the legal right to sign anything on her own. Which means, at some point before Monday morning, she’ll give her handlers the crayons with which to sign the deal. And today another corrupted Disney star has signed on. So I’m guessing this whole thing’s one, big contrived trainwreck (in the words of Howard Stern). Which means Simon Cowell will have to spend his time backstage hiding the chocolate milk, jelly beans, and the cocaine because this panel is an overdose waiting to happen.
