America's Got Talent
November 11, 2011
--
The shock-jock is going to Primetime television? I don’t think the FCC is prepared for this.
After Piers Morgan threw in the towel as a judge on the talent show, that left the judging spot next to Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel wide open.
Strangely enough this show likes to fill it’s judging panel with people who have a very little eye for talent other than being good at talking.

Soulful singer Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. took home the victory. I would've voted on him based on his almost-Star Wars name alone.
"Thank you so much for just believing in me," Landau said, upon hearing his name announced at the end of the show. "It's been a long, hard journey, ever since I was a kid. And it's finally paying off."
So what does he get? Well, he instantly becomes a millionaire—taking home $1 million, and he also gets a Las Vegas headlining contract. He'll have to compete with the Jabbawockeez, but I think he'll be successful.

The Hoff can't barely keep up with his obligations for America's Got Talent, but he's reportedly going to start working on another project.
He said, “I am proud that I was part of making ‘America’s Got Talent’ the number one rated show for the past four summers.
“It’s been a rewarding experience and now I’m thrilled to be able to follow my dream to do my own TV show, which will be announced very shortly.”
A statement from the program's broadcasters, NBC, said: “David’s been an integral part of ‘America’s Got Talent’ and we are sad to see him go.”
A replacement hasn't been named yet, but there's a sea of hosts out there that can probably do a better job than him--and they won't show up to work drunk.
And while the Hoff may be staying mum about his new show, his daughter suggested that he's signing up for a new TV show on A+E. Hasselhoff’s daughter Hayley wrote on her twitter blog: “The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A + E… Get ready for it.”

“It was a sensational performance,” said one audience member. “She actually moved many to tears.”
25 million people watched Boyle's performance on the show and let's just say that's a lot of people to be watching that show!
“Expect her album to go straight to No.1,” said a music industry insider.
Susan’s debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, hits stores November 24.
September 11, 2009
Susan's rep confirmed the news to Access Hollywood saying she'll be a part of the September 16th show. Susan also has an album coming out on November 24th with the apropos title I Dreamed A Dream.
As Hollyscoop previously reported, the album has already jumped to No. 1 on Amazon.com’s sales charts with advance orders, topping the Beatles, Jay-Z and Whitney Houston.
Tune in to see Susan next week!

But thankfully, the U.K. is sharing their newfound superstar with us! Susan Boyle will reportedly be performing on the upcoming season of America's Got Talent!
AGT judge Piers Morgan talked to reporters today and said “SuBo” is welcome to perform on the talent competition show. He said, “If she’s up for it and she is well enough. Our feeling is she probably will [appear on AGT]. Absolutely!”
He added, “Susan singing live to 25 million Americans? That would be great!” Morgan said, adding that, “she still gets a bit tired sometimes, but she is 48.”
Susan’s brother John Boyle says that 95 percent of his sister’s fan mail comes from the U.S. We all love her over here. Bring her to the U.S.! America’s Got Talent begins June 23rd on NBC.

Nick will join Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff at the judge’s table. This should be interesting…
NBC put out a statement saying, "Nick exemplifies the spirit of 'America's Got Talent' with his talent, originality and an infectious love of performing and creating. His popularity and appeal are sure to take the series to a new level of success."
This new gig is part of a multi-project contract Nick has just signed with NBC, so expect him to appear on more than just this show. NBC also added that they intend to utilize Nick for all of his talents: producing, acting, and singing.
Great. Next thing you know, the Office will be bumped for a Nick Cannon-produced, Mariah Carey-starring sitcom.
He says of his new gig, "I'm thrilled to be with working with NBC. Ben Silverman and Paul Teledgy understand my vision as not only an entertainer but as a creative show producer. I look forward to working with the network and their executive team on 'America's Got Talent' and other shows to come."

It's makeover time! And that means one or two ladies are bound to be in tears before the episode is halfway over. Last week, Tyra couldn't wait to cut Samantha's hair, so expect to see that beautiful blonde mane cropped. Afterward, the models go to Malibu for a swimsuit shoot with model and designer Susan Holmes. One of the night's big questions: How will Isis, the transgender model, fare? She slipped the farthest down the ANTM chain last week and was nearly eliminated. Tyra said Isis didn't even look like a model. Ouch!
Bones @ 8pm
With a title like Bones, it was probably just a matter of time before this show went to the dogs — but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan guest stars when the Jeffersonian team's investigation of a veterinarian's murder uncovers the deceased's gambling addiction and ties to an illegal dogfighting ring, and the canine communicator pitches in to help find the killer.
Top Design @ 10pm
Last week's challenge was the bomb: Our interior decorators formed pairs to create functional, small-spaced bomb bunkers, with fallout boy Eddie earning the win with Andrea. We should expect mushroom-cloud explosions in tonight's episode. Here, the contestants design window displays as inspired by Project Runway creations, with former Runway players Daniel Franco, Santino Rice, Jeffrey Sebelia, Sweet P and Andrae Gonzalo on hand. But the guests come with their usual strong aesthetic opinions (Andrae apparently disagrees with wicker), creating a powder keg of tension.
America's Got Talent @ 8pm
8 pm/ET NBC For those looking for a talent trainwreck, sadly all of the contestants lacking talent (per the Hoff, Sharon and Piers, anyway) have long been cut, sort of like a variety-show passage of natural selection. Instead, tonight's super sized episode features the Top 10 performers showing off their considerable entertainment chops. Who will be the fittest to survive? Could it be classy Sinatra-esque crooner Paul Salos, sassy soul singer Queen Emily or young bluegrass trio the Wright Kids? And we shouldn't count out that bundle of cute, 4-year-old Kaitlyn Maher.

Ringmaster Jerry Springer's three-ring talent contest has progressed mightily through the weeks, starting with the seven-week, country-spanning audition process that began in June and featured stopovers in Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta and New York. Then came the "Vegas Callbacks" and the Top 40 showdowns. Tonight should be a real circus when the Top 10 variety acts are unveiled.
Burn Notice @ 10pm
Michael knows he isn't the only ex-spy out there trying to makes ends meet, but he very well could be the only one doing, well, honest work. This is all too clear when a fellow former operative reappears and contacts Michael with a job offer he has no problem refusing. Michael is asked to perform a contract killing, but like the modern-day knight in shining armor he is, he opts to protect the woman who has been targeted instead. Tim Matheson guest stars.
Top Pop Group @ 10pm
Nine pop groups of all different stripes and styles square off in this battle of the bands, with a $100,000 prize awaiting the winner. Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child, Taboo of Black Eyed Peas and choreographer Brian Friedman (who has worked with Britney Spears, Prince, Beyoncé, Pink and Usher, to name just a few) are the judges. Mario Lopez hosts.
Tabatha's Salon Takeover @ 10pm
Tabatha wants to show the owners and staff of a faltering strip-mall salon on Long Island how to improve their styling skills and customer service. And she comes up with the perfect plan when she takes them on a field trip to the Big Apple to see what goes on at a high-class, successful Manhattan salon.

With its no holds barred graphic sequences and real life interrogations, this show is strangely addicting. Cops fans would love it, and so does Queen Latifah who raved about this show. Tonight check out the season premiere as they go very CSI on us and include high tech computer graphics to lay out cime scenes. I wonder what else they will have in store for us this fresh, new season?
A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila @ 10pm
Brittany didn't make the cut after the Cancun trip, so it's down to Bo and Kristy. Now it's decision time for Tila in the second-season finale. Will she follow the pattern from last season and pick the guy, or has a woman won her heart this second time around? Not to give out any spoilers here, but judging by the way Tila been looking very single lately and rumored to have a tryst with Will.I.am (hey, that's gotta be good for her singing career, right?) I have a sneaking suspicion she will pull a Bachelor and not choose either one. Let's see if I am right......
The Secret Life of an American Teenager @ 8pm
Can you believe its come to this title to represent teens in America? Blame it on Jamie Lynn Spears or Juno if you will. Remember those pregnancy pact fifteen year olds? Not to mention the trend in Hollywood for young twenty somethings moms to start poppin' babies a la Britney, Christina, Nicole and soon Paris, no doubt with the way things are going with Benji. It was only a matter of time before the opportunity would be taken to bank on the sign of times, check out this new drama that focuses on the relationships between families and friends as they deal with an unexpected teen pregnancy. Ironically, '80s teen actress Molly Ringwald is all grown up and plays the mother of a teenage girl in the series. Come full circle.
America's Got Talent @ 9pm
It's the third week of the new season of this talent show which gives performers from all over the country -- from violin players to ventriloquists -- the chance to win a million bucks. Jerry Springer serves as host, while actor David Hasselhoff, music biz whiz Sharon Osbourne, and U.K. TV personality Piers Morgan serve as the judges who get to decide which aspiring star has more talent than the rest. Tonight, the judges continue to vet the different acts (who each have varying levels of talent) to figure out who gets to advance to Las Vegas.
