SIMON COWELL TO BRING NEW TALENT SHOW TO NBC.

The fabulous Simon Cowell has created a brand new talent show with American Idol executive producer Ken Warwick called "America's Got Talent," debuting on NBC this summer. The difference between this show and Idol is that it will be a true "talent show," one that is open to people of all ages, not to mention, all types of performing. The winner of "America's Got Talent," will be determined by audience votes and will take home a grand prize of 1 million dollars. Today in a press conference Cowell said, "We felt the time was right to open up the boundaries, and say to all of America, regardless of your age, whether you're 2, whether you're 100, regardless of what you believe your talent is -- juggling, magic, singing -- this is the show you can enter. "It's as simple as that." Open-call auditions for "America's Got Talent" will begin April 6 in Los Angeles and then continue in New York, Chicago and Atlanta. "America's Got Talent" will feature a panel of three yet to be named celebrity judges, but unfortunately, Cowell will not be one of them. Boohoo! Kinda kills the excitement.
