In yet another reality show judging panel shake-up, Sharon Osbourne has confirmed she won’t return for another season of America’s Got Talent. Osbourne’s apparently saying good-bye to the televised talent show, while her fellow AGT judge Howard Stern seems to be up in the air over whether he’ll be back.
Stern has tweeted that he’s not sure if he’ll be around for a second season, but Osbourne’s tweet was more definitive:
My darling @HowardStern, money is not the reason I’m not returning to @nbcagt, it’s because…

However, despite Osbourne’s announcement on Twitter, NBC hasn’t yet confirmed that she’s leaving the show. NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt appeared surprised by Osbourne’s actions and at NBC’s Television Critics Association panel, said, “This is coming out of context and sort of spontaneously, and we don’t even know what’s going on. And it’s probably much ado about nothing,” according to the AP.
