BRITNEY SPEARS FOR “X FACTOR”?

DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE?

What do washed up or untalented “stars” and pseudo-celebs do to try and stay relevant? They either end up airing their dirty laundry on a reality show, or they end up as a judge on a television talent show. One very key case in point: Paula Abdul and who “American Idol” rescued from the depths of being a has-been. The show saved her ass- and now, she’s back in oblivion.

Same with Simon Cowell- well, the show MADE him- and even Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.

Oh, come on, Jenny From The Block was going nowhere as was Tyler.

Don’t get us started on “The Dawg.”

So, if- and it’s still a big IF- Britney Spears joins the US version of “X Factor”- it’s a big career-saving move.

What has Britney Spears done recently?

At 30, she’s in limbo and forgotten.

She WAS an icon. Today? More like an acorn?

Another acorn supposedly looking towards “The X Factor” and being a judge? Janet Jackson who hasn’t had a hit in years.

It’s all becoming one very stale buffet.
