Britney Spears is official

L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell, and Britney Spears

In what was the worst kept secret in Hollywood, Britney Spears was officially unveiled as the new X Factor judge yesterday at the Fox Upfront Presentation at Wollman Rink in New York. In a somewhat surprising move, Demi Lovato is joining the show as the fourth judge, so there will be no shortage of crazy on the upcoming season. Simon should probably keep a straightjacket under his judge's chair. Also, just to be safe, Britney and Demi's dressing rooms are going to be entirely padded with no sharp objects or chicken wings within reach. This is gonna be fun.

I have it on good authority that both girls are totally sane and completely normal. Nothing strange about these two.

The Britster is hotter than a smoking volcano and Demi is almost as hot. They both are extreme eye candy and should make beautiful music together.

I can see Demi and Britney fighting over the bag of pork rinds and crayons they're given to play with while LA and Simon give real feedback...but I won't see it, because I won't be watching.

Drama written all over it. Media stories galore but zero substance will come out of this. Mr Cowell is going for the lowest to get his show something, anything! I won't be watching. Hell all I watch is CNBC and the NHL. I need a life I know.
