It’s another one of those days where some big news is shaking up the reality TV department, and this time the show with some movement is America’s Got Talent. In case you hadn’t heard, Piers Morgan, who has been a judge on the competition series for six years, announced on Twitter that he would be leaving his post to focus on his CNN talk show instead. So who’s going to take his place? Well someone has to be brash, harsh and ruthless when necessary on the stage, so who better than radio shock jock Howard Stern? The Wall Street Journal reports Stern is currently negotiating a $15 million a year contract to join Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne at the judge’s table. Apparently the show might even move from Los Angeles to New York in order to make it easier for Stern to join the show and keep up his radio show which is based out of The Big Apple. Stern should bring an interesting voice to the program, but are network censors ready to deal with him? We’ll see.

Forbes has released their list of the highest-paid men in entertainment.  Minus Oprah, I bet it looks pretty much the same as the highest-paid people in general. That said, Tyler Perry does rep the diversity quotient at the top of the list with $130 million made from May 2010 to May 2011.  Perry is not popular with the critics, but I continue to be impressed by the man who can outearn such power players (and notable white men) as Jerry Bruckheimer and Steven Spielberg.  Perry has directed ten movies since his feature debut in 2006, and starred in most of them.  In recent years the two TBS sitcoms Meet the Browns and House of Payne have proven a major contribution to Perry’s paycheck.  He has a good shot at next year’s title, too: in 2012, he’ll deliver at least one more project, Good Deeds, and star in the potential franchise starter I, Alex Cross.

Look for the top ten and the oddities within (James Patterson?) after the jump.
