Melanie Brown Taking Over For Sharon Osbourne on 'America's Got Talent!'

Melanie Brown, who is better known to the world as Scary Spice of The Spice Girls, will be stepping into the shoes of Sharon Osbourne as a judge on “America’s Got Talent.”

Osbourne announced she was quitting the show last year. She was reportedly angry at the network for not allowing her son Jack Osbourne to participate on “Stars Earn Stripes” after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Brown will be sitting alongside Howard Stern and Howie Mandel as they review performances. This will be Stern’s second season, and Mandel’s fourth. NBC is also reportedly considering adding a fourth judge to the panel for the first time in the U.S., if the “right person [shows] their hand.”

NBC president of alternative and late-night programming, Paul Telegdy, is excited about Brown’s addition to the show.

“I’ve known Melanie since she did ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and I’ve known her as a performer of The Spice Girls before that. To know her is to know a very frank, strong, enduring entertainer. Someone who has a very strong point of view. We needed somebody who was qualified for the job. She’s an amazing singer, dancer, and a huge personality. The contestants will get a lot of constructive feedback from her and I can’t wait to see her chemistry with Howard and Howie.”

The singer has also served as a judge on Australian “X Factor,” and guest hosted on the UK version of the show.
