It's being reported that Simon Cowell, 53, is ready to fire the 31-year-old pop legend because he wanted 'crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney.'

If it happens, this will mean the mother-of-two only lasted on the judges panel for one season... though it was an incredibly lucrative one.

The report in Us Weekly points out that Brit's $15M contract had a lot to do with Cowell's decision, with one insider telling the publication: 'They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps.'

                                                            

Another mole confirmed: 'Britney will get the boot. Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working.'

Fellow judge L.A. Reid  - a long-standing judge - already announced his departure to focus on his record label.
