Britney to get $15m to become ‘X Factor’ judge

The Womanizer singer will collect $15 million overall for the gig — about $13m to judge music-industry aspirants alongside Cowell and record executive LA Reid, and the rest as a bonus for performing on the show.

The deal has been agreed upon, but has not yet been signed. Spears is still under a conservatorship following her mid-2000s breakdown, with her father, Jamie Spears, serving as her guardian.
