Heidi Klum to be a new judge on America's Got Talent

The German supermodel and a presenter Heidi Klum has reportedly bagged a deal to become a fourth judge on panel of America’s Got Talent reality show, alongside Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and Mel B on the reality TV show.

According to gossip website TMZ.com the 39-year-old beauty agreed to appear on the popular series after last minute negotiations.

The 'Project Runway' host jumped on a plane to New Orleans on Sunday in time for the first taping of auditions for the show that begin on today.

On a judge panel is also Spice Girl Mel B, replacing Sharon Osbourne who quit the panel last August after accusing NBC of "discrimination" against her son Jack, who was allegedly axed from its other reality show 'Stars Earn Stripes' after he revealed his multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis.

'The Talk' host previously insisted she will continue watching 'America's Got Talent' after she leaves because her experiences on the program were "fabulous".
