Even though Britney Spears won't be asked back to be a judge on Simon Cowell's The X Factor, the pop princess' management team is exploring potential television sitcom roles for her, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.

"Britney's manager, Larry Rudolph, is reading television scripts that the singer could accept. Britney's dad, Jamie feels that having his daughter on a sitcom would be a good fit for her. Britney needs to be kept busy, and a structured environment such as a television sitcom would be a natural fit for her," a source close to the situation tells Breaking Celebrity Newsexclusively.

"She actually has very natural comedic talents and is very funny, in an airhead sort of way," the source added.

As Breaking Celebrity News was first to report, Spears won't be asked to return as judge on the next season of The X Factor.

"Britney, who was signed on a one-year deal, is the first person who will be expected to have her salary chopped. She is on a $15 million contract, which is absurd given that there's been no huge surge in the ratings.
