"If Britney Spears seems a little loopy on the X Factor judges&amp;apos; panel, it&amp;apos;s not because she&amp;apos;s buzzed.\r\nDuring auditions around the U.S., the singer&amp;apos;s team made sure booze was removed from every place she stayed before she arrived!\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Very important: We require you to empty the minibars of all alcohol,&amp;quot; reads a hotel rider for the rehab vet, 30. &amp;quot;And no gifts of wine or any other alcoholic beverages, please.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNot that Spears has been treating her gig as an opportunity to let loose.  When discussing the Fox show&amp;apos;s second season, Simon Cowell, 52, declared September 6 that his fellow judge &amp;quot;has taken this very seriously.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;In the past, we&amp;apos;ve had judges who never say no. She can&amp;apos;t say no quick enough on this show,&amp;quot; Simon Cowell recently told reports of Spears as a judge on the show. &amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s quite difficult to please. But she&amp;apos;s a fascinating person and I got to like her a lot.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
