Heidi Klum Exits America's Got Talent, Mel B Returns as Judge

Heidi Klum is officially leaving her role as a judge on 'America's Got Talent' after 11 seasons, with her departure coinciding with her return to 'Project Runway.' Former Spice Girl Mel B is set to replace Klum on the judging panel for the show's 20th season, which premieres on May 27. Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara will also return, while Terry Crews continues as host. Klum's exit has not been explicitly linked to any particular reason, though speculation suggests a potential conflict with her commitment to 'Project Runway.' Cowell expressed gratitude for Klum's contributions to 'AGT' and excitement for the upcoming season. The show will feature live performances starting in August.
