Britney Spears has confirmed: She will not be returning to The X Factor for the show’s upcoming third season.

“I’ve made the very difficult decision not to return for another season. I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it’s time for me to get back in the studio,” Britney said.

“Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most.

Now, there is some exciting breaking news for Britney fans: Per TMZ, the singer is in “serious talks” to headline a “Celine Deion” type show in Las vegas.

TMZ adds that Britney and her people are talking about establishing residency for the singer in that city with one of the hotels to do a “big, nightly show.”
