Will Britney Spears be back for Season 3 of The X Factor?

Rumors are swirling that Britney will be fired as a judge, exiting the total mess of a show alongside L.A. Reid. But Fox president Kevin Reilly says he's not sure.

"For next year, I don't know," Reilly he said of Spears' return, but said "yeah" when asked if he was on board to bring the 31-year-old megastar back.

However, executive producer and lead judge Simon Cowell is currently on vacation and "hasn't talked about any of this going forward," Reilly admits.

Britney Spears may be reeling emotionally, with rumors of a split with Jason Trawick persisting for months, but she is quite secure in the financial department.

What began with a bang is ending with a low-energy half-clap.

Looks like Britney Spears' stint on The X Factor is ending almost as quickly as it started, with reports indicating she will not be asked back for Season 3.

"Britney will get the boot," an insider says of Spears, who joined along with Demi Lovato this fall. "Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working."

One reason? Spears' massive $15 million contract, which one source sums up as such: "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps."

Records, her X Factor gig, endorsements and a perfume line netted Britney Spears $58 million last year; Taylor was a close second with an estimated $57 million.

A contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, her own line of fragrances, countless hit songs and massive celebrity gossip attention made 2012 Swift's year.

Rihanna earned an estimated $53 million to put her at No. 3, two spots up from last year, followed by Lady Gaga, who fell from No. 1 in 2011 with $52 million.

If it seems like a lifetime ago that we first fell in love with her, that's because it sort of was. If you recall Britney Spears circa 1998-2003, you know what we mean.
