Britney booze ban. Britney Spears [PHOTOS, VIDEOS] has banned alcohol backstage at X Factor. The singer joined the panel of Simon Cowell's music talent hunt alongside Demi Lovato this year and has made sure she will not be tempted by booze, with her team banning the possibility of her accessing it.

The 'Hold It Against Me' representation said in a note: "Very important. We require you to empty minibars of all alcohol. And no gifts of wine or any other alcoholic beverages, please."

Britney made her primetime X Factor debut on Wednesday, and said she is already enjoying the show in an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Spears told the 54-year-old host:

‘I was really nervous. You have all these people behind you and you know they’re rooting on you. It’s a really exciting, electrifying thing to do.’
