The Howard Stern Show Tweeted This Morning that “It’s offical – Howard just signed on the dotted line – he is now the newest judge on America’s Got Talent!” followed by “Howard says he’ll start shooting in Feburary and actually be traveling the country to do the audition rounds.”.

There are no reports as to what this will mean for the Howard Stern Show.

America’s Got Talent is a reality show that features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, and other performers of all ages competing for the advertised top prize of $1 million dollars. The show is currently on its third season.

Do you think Howard Stern will make a good judge on America’s Got Talent?

It’s Official! Howard Stern New Judge On America’s Got Talent is a post from: The Inquisitr

Howard Stern has been rumored as a judge for many of televisions top contestant driven reality TV shows and on Thursday yet another rumor sprung from the ashes. According to the Wall Street Journal the king of shock jock radio may soon be a judge on the hit talent series America’s Got Talent.

While Stern has left lucrative judging paydays on the table in the past the newspaper says NBC officials are very serious about hiring the shock jock and have even discussed moving America’s Got Talent from Los Angeles to New York just so Stern will come on-board.

If Stern accepts the offer he will reportedly be paid $15 million a year for his time spent on the show, money he will earn on top of his multi-million dollar Sirius XM paychecks.

If the rumor is true insiders say Stern would replace Piers Morgan who announced this week that he would be leaving the show to focus his efforts on his fledgling CNN program which he took over after Larry King retired.

At this time news of the Howard Stern judging choice is just a rumor and there’s no guarantee that he will accept the gig.

I understand that Stern has made more than half a billion dollars during his radio career but honestly why wouldn’t he take $15 million just to walk down the street from his apartment and host a show where he sits around and criticizes people like he already does so well.

Howard Stern May Be Next Judge On “America’s Got Talent” is a post from: The Inquisitr

Piers Morgan announced on his CNN show, “Piers Morgan Tonight“, on Wednesday that he will be stepping down from his judge’s seat on America’s Got Talent next season.

Instead, he’ll be making use of his free time by preparing for 2012, which he says will be a “huge year” for political news, what with the presidential elections going on and all.

“I’ve been a judge since the show began six years ago, and I’ve loved every single second,” Morgan said on Piers Morgan Tonight. “I’ve discovered that juggling, to my surprise, really is a bit more difficult than I thought.”

Morgan thanked America’s Got Talent‘s production company and NBC in the program, as well as his “great friend” Simon Cowell for giving him the opportunity to host for so many years.

Co-judge Sharon Osbourne took to Twitter to plead with Morgan not to leave, saying: “I woke up this morning, thought I had a dream that Piers resigned. Now I’m waking up to the reality. Dont go. Never thought I would say this”

Howie Mandel also chimed in on the news, joking that Morgan’s departure had something to do with him. “I guess I’m more annoying than I thought. I’ll miss you @piersmorgan,” he wrote.

Sinatra crooner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. beat out a field of talented singers, dancers and performers to win season 6 of America’s Got Talent, claiming the competitions $1 million prize along with a Vegas contract.

The singer managed to beat out body-lighted Team iLuminate, the band PopLyfe and shadow dancers Silhouettes. It should be noted that PopLyfe stumbled during their Queen cover medley on Tuesday.

During the finale for season 6 the 36-year-old crooner performed with Patti LaBell, a big jump in his career after appearing on the show straight from his job at a West Virginia car wash.

The other acts also got to perform with known performers, including iLuminate with Cobra Starship, Silhouettes with LeAnn Rimes and PopLyfe who played a tune with Stevie Wonder.

Returning to the show was last season’s runner up Jackie Evancho, the tiny operatic singer who has launched quite the career of her own.  

Do you think Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. deserved to win America’s Got Talent Season 6? Here’s a video of him performing so you can make up your mind:

On Wednesday nights fans of NBC’s America’s Got Talent tune in to find out which acts from Tuesday night will be moving on in the competition and tonight they will be treated to another aspect of the show when singer Stevie Nicks takes to the stage for a special performance.

In 2010 the Fleetwood Mac singer released her first album in nearly 10 years to excellent praise by critics and fans alike and her star continues to rise once again, most recently taking to the stage with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine for an excellent performance at the Hollywood Bowl.

It’s not known at this time what song Nicks will perform so you’ll have to tune in and wait around for the performance.

Are you excited to see Stevie on America’s Got Talent?

As you can see in the video she was accompanied by a full orchestra and backing singers. She is definitely in the big league now. It looks like she has received a small make-over too with brown hair and whiter teeth, but she has kept her charm.

It’s good to see her back in form and good health. Last night’s performance boosted the pre-order for her upcoming album, “I Dreamed A Dream” and she is now #1 on Amazon’s bestseller list.

The news for Susan Boyle fans doesn’t stop here. She has also announced details of her debut album, which will be named after her biggest hit, “I Dreamed a Dream” from her Britain’s Got Talent appearance.

Susan Boyle’s debut album “I Dreamed a Dream” will be released on November 24th, but is already topping Amazon’s bestseller list, thanks to preorders (and a single review?!) She is actually outselling most of The Beatles Remastered albums, Muse, Jay-Z and Whitney Houston’s latest.

According to The Sun the album will feature one of Susan Boyle’s favorite songs, Madonna’s “You’ll See”.

A redneck country boy contestant named Kevin Skinner stole the show on last night America’s Got Talent.

Drawing immediate comparisons to Susan Boyle, the former “chicken ketcher” who “ain’t real good at math” stopped Sharon Osbourne’s cackling dead in its tracks with his soulful cover of a Garth Brooks song. Skinner, 35, described his country life and propensity for taking his truck “muddin’” before he wowed the crowd with the performance below.
