Britney Spears Is Making 15 Times More Than Demi Lovato on 'X Factor': Fair or Foul?

We're not surprised Demi Lovato's "X Factor" contract is less than Britney Spears -- Lovato doesn't quite have the star power or the experience Spears does -- but $1 million sounds a little bit low. Spears was initially offered a $10 million contract, but rejected it because she wanted something closer to $20 million. They split the difference and settled on $15 million. That's 15 times what Lovato will receive for doing the same exact job.

Even Spears' contract is low compared to some other talent show judges. Jennifer Lopez, for instance, got $20 million for her second season of "American Idol." Of course, in this industry it's all about ratings. Our polls have shown that Spears will indeed be the more valuable judge, but not 15 times more valuable. But if producers are nervous about signing her, and she's desperate enough to sign for $1 million, that's where it's gonna land. But is it fair that Britney Spears is making so much more than the younger Demi Lovato?
