"A representative for Britney Spears has slammed &amp;quot;pathetic&amp;quot; reports that the star is being driven to a meltdown by her X Factor USA role.  The &amp;#039;Hold It Against Me&amp;#039; singer was said by US Weekly to be &amp;quot;coming undone&amp;quot; while judging the second season of the contest alongside Simon Cowell, LA Reid and fellow newcomer Demi Lovato.   Spears was accused of getting &amp;quot;extremely nervous and anxious&amp;quot; during auditions, with a source saying: &amp;quot;X Factor may lead her back into meltdown territory.&amp;quot; The insider added: &amp;quot;This is a lot of change at once for Britney. She&amp;#039;s coming undone.&amp;quot; However, a member of Spears&amp;#039;s team has since told Gossip Cop that there is no truth to US Weekly&amp;#039;s article, claiming that the publication still chose to run the report when they were informed of this.   &amp;quot;[It&amp;#039;s] a pathetic attempt at creating a story,&amp;quot; the representative commented.  The &amp;#039;Toxic&amp;#039; star came under fire recently when it was claimed that she walked out of her first X Factor auditions session in Texas, though this has been denied by both Spears and Cowell. Spears is also alleged to have demanded a higher salary than American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
