"Britney Spears reportedly quit The X Factor USA after being denied a $3m (\u00A31.8m) pay rise. The &amp;#039;Scream &amp;amp; Shout&amp;#039; singer, who confirmed her departure from the Fox contest on Friday (January 11), apparently asked for her fee to be increased to $18m (\u00A311m), but bosses decided she &amp;quot;wasn&amp;#039;t worth that much&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;After much deliberation, they just felt that Britney wasn&amp;#039;t worth that much because she wasn&amp;#039;t bringing enough to the table,&amp;quot; a source told Perez Hilton.  &amp;quot;Her performance as a judge was scrutinized, and she didn&amp;#039;t really add anything to the show. They felt she didn&amp;#039;t warrant a $3 million pay hike.&amp;quot;  Spears left The X Factor USA after just one season amid rumours that Simon Cowell had been planning to fire her. The &amp;#039;Hold It Against Me&amp;#039; star is alleged to have closed a deal for a Las Vegas residency that could earn her up to $100m (\u00A362m) over two years. Spears also confirmed her split from fianc\u00E9 Jason Trawick last week. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
