What Happened To Judges Heidi Klum And Mel B On 'America's Got Talent'?
ICYMI, former host Tyra Banks left and was replaced by the new host Terry Crews . But you probably noticed that two ladies are also missing from the judging panel: Heidi Klum and Mel B.
They were replaced by Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union , and of course, judges Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell are still on the panel. (Gabrielle gave out the Golden Buzzer last night to a blind singer with autism, and it was amazing.)
By the way, did you know Julianne Hough has the cutest love story?
But why did Heidi and Mel B leave?! Apparently there was no drama involved. Simon Cowell, who is an executive producer on the show, told USA Today , "It wasn't like it wasn't working. Everyone who's been on the show over the years, judge or host, has done a brilliant job. It's just one of those shows where I think occasionally they just like to rotate the panel," he said.
Plus, both ladies have super-packed schedules with new ventures. According to Variety , Heidi Klum is working on a new fashion show with Tim Gunn that will premiere on Amazon Prime Video. (I'm having major 'Project Runway' flashbacks!)
And of course, Mel B is on her reunion tour with the Spice Girls. According to People , Mel B and the girls (minus Victoria Beckham) just started a 13-show tour in Dublin last week.
While Heidi and Mel B will be missed, I can't wait to see Gabrielle and Julianne bring their fresh perspectives to the show.
