As many know, the NBC reality series America’s Got Talent has hired the great radio show host, Howard Stern, as a judge. Stern will replace talk journalist Piers Morgan, who departed the talent show to focus on his news talk show on CNN.
When it was announced that Stern would join the show, many family advocate groups were appalled claiming that Stern shouldn’t have been allowed to be on the series due to what some say is his outrageous behavior. While at the X Factor finale, we spoke to judge Simon Cowell (who produces AMGT) and he told us exclusively what we can expect from Stern.
Stern will definitely add an element to the show which we think will excite the audience. America’s Got Talent returns for its seventh season this Summer on NBC.
After four seasons and 105 episodes, the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, which made Selena Gomez a star, comes to an end when its series finale airs tomorrow night 8/7 central on the Disney Channel.

Beverly Hills, CA – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has produced its trailer for the 84th Academy Awards in conjunction with Funny Or Die. The trailer features host Billy Crystal and celebrity cameo appearances by Robin Williams, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, William Fichtner and Vinnie Jones.

Crystal has one of the most distinguished track records of any host in Oscar® history. His upcoming appearance will mark his ninth turn hosting the Academy Awards. The enthusiastic response to the announcement of his return was the inspiration for the trailer.
“Our team had a great time working with the Academy and joining forces with Billy again,” said Mike Farah, Funny Or Die’s president of production. “We think the trailer really speaks to the excitement around this year’s Oscars®, and Funny Or Die was honored to be a part of it.”
The trailer will have a one-month run in more than 2,000 theaters beginning January 6 and can be viewed online at Oscars.org/trailer.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on Sunday, February 26, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.

Academy Award-winner Steven Spielberg is one of the most acclaimed and beloved directors in movie history. Having helmed such films as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan, and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Spielberg has successfully conquered many genres and shown the kind of versatility most directors can only dream of.
His latest films, War Horse and The Adventures of Tintin, which are in theatres now, have received rave reviews from critics and audiences. Having made some of the best films the big screen has ever seen, Spielberg explains that he still gets inspired to make films today; however, he doesn’t look for inspiration, he lets it find him.
Sure, there are plenty of female cops on TV, but it’s rare to find a successful crime drama show with two women in the lead roles. ABC’s “Body of Proof,” starring Jeri Ryan and Dana Delany, has proven to be an exception.

And she’s proud to be on a quality show that portrays its leading characters as strong role models for younger women.
A new episode of “Body of Proof” airs tonight at 10/9 central on ABC.
