Well it looks like shock jock Howard Stern has got X Factor USA host Simon Cowell in his corner for the judging position on America’s Got Talent. The position was vacated by Piers Morgan, who went on to do his own show.

Simon said that he likes the idea of Howard taking Piers’ place on the show, but also revealed that he doesn’t really have a say in the matter.

In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Simon said, “I like him. There’s a lot of people who make decisions on this stuff. Money’s got to work, schedules have got to work. There might be a few twists and turns still.”

Interesting. But do they have anyone else in mind? Simon’s not telling!

He added, “I can’t tell you. That’s neither a yes or a no.”

It has been rumored that the show has already been in some negotiations with Howard over taking over the judging role on the show.

Now that Piers Morgan has announced that he’s leaving America’s Got Talent, we’ve heard reports that shock jock Howard Stern is in talks to replace him!

Reportedly, he’s in serious negotiations to sign on for the judging position on the show. The Wall Street Journal reports that if he does accept the job, he could make around $15 million a year.

He previously spoke of judging American Idol, saying, “They’ve got a bunch of people on there who don’t have an opinion. Judging is an interesting thing. What I do for a living is a lot more complicated than judging. I have to wake up people. I compete in radio markets and to sit there and judge a karaoke contest, the one criteria would be to have an opinion.”

He said, “It seems that two or three of the judges barely have an opinion.”

Kim Kardashian appeared on Piers Morgan’s new show and she chose to talk again about the sex tape that catapulted her to fame. And yes, she still wants us to believe that she was devastated that the tape got out even though she had to have signed off on it!

She said, “There’s this, you know, embarrassment and shame and so much that comes along with it. I think that I was so lucky to find a boyfriend at that time in Reggie – we were together for four years – and that was something that he really helped me through. He picked me up when I couldn’t pick myself up. That’s what my family was for as well. So, I feel like I’ve dealt with it and now I move on from it.”

Don’t forget the important part of this equation: She signed off on the release of the sex tape. If she hadn’t, she would’ve sued over it. That was just one step on the road to profit.

SHE SIGNED OFF ON IT.

We have good reason to believe that “Britain’s Got Talent” star Susan Boyle might be heading stateside, if she’s well enough.

She’s had a quick rise to fame, but it comes with a price: all of the attention hoisted upon a 48-year-old woman and paparazzi are taking her photos constantly. I can’t imagine what that must be like. But she is deserving of her new-found fame, she’s an excellent singer and hopefully she’ll make us swoon with her voice over here in the U.S., as well.

Piers Morgan says, “If she’s up for it and she is well enough. Our feeling is she probably will. Absolutely! Susan singing live to 25 million Americans? That would be great!” He added that, “She still gets a bit tired sometimes, but she is 48.”

I can’t wait to see her sing here, live. She’s awesome!

“Britain’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan is striking back at all of the backlash that Susan Boyle has been receiving lately.

He wrote, “The Susan Boyle backlash has already started, and pretty unedifying it is too. She’s had a ‘terrible’ makeover, she’s ‘cracking up’, she ‘lied’ about not being kissed and so on. It’s so typically British to do this, and so utterly pathetic.”

He added, “Susan is a lovely, decent, church-going, modest and kind woman who is dealing with becoming the hottest star on the planet with remarkable patience and good humor. She is a fabulous advertisement for our country, and her success is a wonderful testament to the powers of persistence, positive thought, and living a dream, however unlikely the chances of realizing it. Those who seek to knock her down just when that dream finally comes true in the most sensational fashion possible, are nothing but cruel, heartless toads. They should just all shut up, give Susan a break, and let her enjoy her extraordinary moment in the global spotlight.”

Go Piers! I couldn’t agree more. Let Susan have these moments when people are recognizing her and putting her up on a pedestal. She deserves it, and a record deal, even if she doesn’t win the show.

“Britain’s Got Talent” star Susan Boyle appeared on “Larry King Live”, when King asked her to sing for them. She chose the “Titanic” song, “My Heart Will Go On” and she was just amazing.

Piers Morgan said it was “unbelievable” and invited her out to dinner.
