That's news to NBC, according to Deadline, which denied any negotiations and stated through a spokesperson that it has "no future plans for her to be a judge."

On his Sirius-XM radio show recently, Howard Stern told fellow Season 7 judge Howie Mandel that he had recommended O'Donnell to 'AGT' producers, but that they were hot on Cher.
So far, only Stern has confirmed signing as a judge for next season.
Season 8 of "America's Got Talent" is expected to premiere sometime in 2013 on NBC.
I am still trying to figure out how, but H O W, did someone like Rosie made it in the entertainment business to start with! The only thing that makes sense to me is the fact that the network for whatever "unatural" reason, wanted to promote the "gay life-style" and political agenda!
I have a right to my opinion too...
