Howard Stern – who’s barely safe for radio – may be appearing as a judge on America’s Got Talent. The shock jock is apparently in negotiations to replace Piers Morgan who’s leaving the show, according to a source close to the deal. It seems an unlikely pair – the radio host who’s known for his racy, freewheeling style, and a network show that has a wide range of viewers including a younger fan base as well as families.
It might be an interesting counterpart to what American Idol had going for it with Simon Cowell, but Stern would still have to keep himself a bit in check even using Cowell as a comparison! Then again, maybe NBC is thinking that even if some debacle does ensue, bad press is better than no press.
Meanwhile, Morgan announced that he would be leaving the show to focus on his CNN talk show “Piers Morgan Tonight,” and the upcoming presidential election year.

It’s always embarrassing when couples get divorced and then one of them can’t stop badmouthing the other one in public, but Camille Grammer just keeps sinking deeper and deeper into unattractive bitterness. Â Last week Camille told Howard Stern that her ex-husband, actor Kelsey Grammer, likes to cross-dress, but she has now decided to claim that the cross-dressing statement was a joke, even though she had previously told quite a few other people that it was true.
After broken heart and a very public mid-life crisis involving lots of partying and lots of different girls, actor David Arquette has checked himself into rehab. Â He admitted to Howard Stern in a December interview that he’d been drinking a lot to deal with the separation from his wife, actress Courteney Cox, and that when he drinks he turns into “a maniac.”
