‘Idol’ Not Interested In Britney Spears This Season

‘American Idol’ producer Nigel Lythgoe told Usmagazine.com that the show’s invite to Britney Spears to appear last year won’t be repeated for season seven. “I would have had Britney Spears last year when I thought she was trying to get it all back together again,” Lythgoe said. “Britney, at this moment in time, I don’t think is well enough to do anything. I think she needs looking after. I think she needs to pull herself together.” The ‘Idol’ series 2-night, 4-hour series premiere takes place January 15-16 on FOX.
