Britney’s X Factor diet

Come on, admit it, you’re a tiny bit excited about Britney Spears’s X Factor appearance on Saturday aren’t you?

And Britters is reportedly so keen for her performance of ‘Womanizer’ to be a success that she’s gone on what sounds like a rather extreme course of dieting.

“She goes to bed hungry and is dieting so hard she's suffering from insomnia, anxiety, flushes and shakes,” said a source. “Her father and the people around her are trying to get her to eat more, but Britney is determined not to be criticised for having any extra bulk.”

Well OK, but let’s hope she isn’t criticised for fainting onstage from lack of nutrition. Meanwhile, one person looking forward to seeing La Spears again is her former choreographer Brian Friedman, currently working as The X Factor’s creative director.

“She is such a sweet, endearing person. It will be nice to reconnect,” he said. Reconnect? “Last year, I asked her to come and do X Factor but she was too hectic. This year it's happening. I'm so glad to see her back on track. Her performance is going to be incredible.”

Dates for the star’s world tour have just been released, with Britney playing just two dates in Europe, both at the O2 in London. There might be a slight rush for tickets, so it's probably best to watch the show on Saturday to preempt potential disappointment…
