Britney Spears is joining "The X Factor" team.
Spears' team and show producers have reached agreements on several key contract details, including the star's salary.
The buzz surrounding Spears seems to be the most reliable, as sources close to the show report that her fiancé and former agent Jason Trawick is actively negotiating the deal.
Cowell reportedly reached out to Spears personally to gauge her interest in joining the show and has been singing her praises publicly, saying in a March conference call with reporters that he is "fascinated" by Spears and believes work on "The X Factor" will be easy for the hardworking singer.
"This girl has resilience. I would think that if she's managed to sustain a family, a career, which is tough, "X Factor" would be a walk in the park," Cowell said. "I would be fascinated to hear what she has to say. She's still hot, she's still having hit records and she's still controversial. There's a reason for that."
