You knew it was going to happen and it didn't take long for the The Parents Television Council to complain to NBC for signing Howard Stern to the judges panel for "America's Got Talent."  They complain because Stern has a reputation of shock, profanity and obscenity on his ego-centric radio shows. "American's Got Talent" producer, Simon Cowell thinks the Parents Television Council has NOTHING to worry about because if he goes too far, he'll get kicked off. He believes that Stern, who wants to be a serious judge, is smart enough to know where the line is drawn. Stern laughed at the notion that he was only being paid $20 million dollars a year for the position, reminding everyone he signed a five year deal with Sirius XM for $400 million.

Ballantine Books announced Thursday its plans to publish a biography on Simon Cowell.

The bio will be penned by Tom Bower who has written 19 books about a variety of politicians and celebrities. The book is slated for a Spring 2012 release.
