‘America’s Got Talent’ tapping Mel B?

Mel B has served as an occasional judge on the British version of “The X Factor.” But she is hardly a superstar, like Cher. Nor is she known for outspoken opinions, like Rosie O’Donnell. (These celebs weren’t picked out of nowhere; they’re who Stern has mentioned that he would like producers to replace Osbourne with.)

Osbourne announced she was leaving last year due to a dispute between NBC and her son, Jack Osbourne.

Does this decision seem as bad to you as it does to us?

Season 8 of “America’s Got Talent” will premiere this summer on NBC.
