Welcome to Pure America’s Got Talent

Fans of Sharon Osbourne are going to get plenty of Sharon on TV since Sharon will be on the Celebrity Apprentice 2010.

I wonder if Piers gave Sharon some advice on how to win. No doubt we’ll see another cameo of Piers on Celebrity Apprentice as well.

What is Simon Cowell thinking? Here’s some stories floating around the internet that Howie Mandel will be replacing The Hoff as a judge on America’s Got Talent. This comes right after David Hasselhoff leaves America’s Got Talent. Check out the announcement by eOnline:

Howie Mandel just scored a new deal…with America’s Got Talent.

The 54-year-old former Deal or No Deal host will sit at the judges table with Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne for the show’s fifth season, E! News has confirmed.

I guess there’s the potential that they could be wrong. In fact, I kind of hope they are wrong. Ok, Howie might be pretty funny at the judges table. I can give him a chance, but I just don’t see how he qualifies to judge these types of acts. Plus, it will be really interesting to see how he interacts with Sharon and Piers. I guess I can see Howie as the host of the show, but not sure about him as a judge.

Either way, I don’t expect one judge to make a difference in the ratings for America’s Got Talent 2010 anyway. People watch for the talent more than the judges I think.

In some of the best news I’ve gotten tonight, I’m happy to say that David Hasselhoff will no longer be a judge on America’s Got Talent. I’m sure there could be worse, but David Hasselhoff just felt far too fake for me on the show. He seemed to offer little insight as a judge. Here’s the news as it was reported by E! online:

After four seasons on America’s Got Talent, David Hasselhoff is leaving the judges’ table, his rep confirms to E! News. “I am proud that I was part of making America’s Got Talent, the No. 1 rated show for the past four summers,” Hasselhoff said in a statement.

“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.”

I know that MANY people won’t share my happiness. Many people loved having the Hoff as a judge on America’s Got Talent. To those people I offer my condolences. However, I’ll be VERY happy to see a freshness on the judging panel of America’s Got Talent. It had really grown quite stale this past season. Far too predictable and not very entertaining.

I’d still LOVE to have Simon Cowell join as a judge. He’s absolutely BRILLIANT as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent. However, I’m quite sure that Simon can’t be a judge on America’s Got Talent because of his contract as a judge on American Idol. I’m not sure who else is available.

I’d also love to have the blonde girl from Britain’s Got Talent replace Sharon on the judges panel as well. I’m not sure her name, but she was quite good. Yes, I guess you can say I’m a big fan of the way the judges worked on Britain’s Got Talent.

Best of luck to the Hoff and we’ll be watching to see what his next TV show will be.

Poor David Hasselhoff has done it again. If the British tabloids are to be believed, he got rip roaring drunk at Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday bash and continued on this junket for 2 more days until his assistant called for a doctor. It was said the assistant was afraid David would die from alcohol poisoning.

David was allegedly so drunk, he took a swing at his assistant, missed and hit the doctor. The article went on to say he had been so loaded that he wet the bed and ruined 2 mattresses. The hotel got him to a hospital and he was in rehab for 2 days.

David, David, oh David. He is very well liked by most of the AGT audiences and contestants, including myself, but I just wish he’d wake up and come to his senses before he kills himself. I can’t help but wonder what would happen to him if he did something to bad enough to get fired from judging AGT.

Since he clearly can’t handle his drinking, he should have given this party a miss. Seriously. Sometimes on the show the look in his eyes reminds me of what Paula looked like on American Idol from time to time. Does anyone out there think David will ever get into rehab and stay sober?
