Things were looking really good for Britney Spears.... until these last 2 days came. 

According to Us Weekly, Simon Cowell will being firing Miss Spears. 

"Britney will get the boot," an insider tells Hot Stuff of the pop star, who joined the show in May, along with fellow newcomer Demi Lovato. "Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working."

One reason? Spears' $15 million contract, which sources say the low-energy mentor hasn't earned. "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps," a second insider tells Us.

Adds a third source of show co-creator Simon Cowell, who is leading the charge to axe the performer: "He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney." - US 

Between this and her ex husbands brother saying her eldest child is his, it has not been a good week for Britney.
