We wonder just how much Simon Cowell is regretting his decision to hire Britney Spears as an X Factor US judge right now, as yet another report hits our headlines regarding her diva-like behaviour during audition stages.

Since joining the panel of the US version of the X Factor, Spears has walked out of the auditions more times than we can shake a stick out, for a number of reasons, and none of them being because nature called!

The seemingly sweet, yet somewhat confused megastar, was expected to be the sweet and sensitive one, a bit like our Cheryl Cole, but from the very first day she set show producers blood pressure rocketing as she displayed time and time again just how unstable her mental state still was.

She has left the stage in floods of tears after feeling pressured, anger and sorrow, but don’t let that fool you because when she isn’t stropping about something (usually one of the contestants singing one of her songs) instead of being Miss sweet, she instead is giving Cowell a run for his money in the crushing-someone’s-dreams-and-confidence-with-one-word department!

However, rather than showing just how scared he is of the monster he has created, Cowell instead paid homage to the Toxic singer who has only just got over a nervous meltdown several years back which resulted in her loosing her kids, and her hair!

Cowell: “Britney is quite mean, which I think you will discover.”

According to the Sun newspaper some of Brit’s more hurtful blows include: “You can’t destroy that song, sweetie”, “predictable” and “I want to know who let you on the stage”.

We can see a very long future on the US talent show (we will be surprised if she makes it to boot camp!)
