Piers, Sharon, The Hoff and Jerry are back in Atlanta to start off week four.Billy Dodson - He's big, he's burly, he's imposing. He gets on stage and sings...soprano? Three quick X's.Alex Pyles - A 10-year-old cutie with a great southern accent. She comes out on stage with her father, and they perform a combination of acrobatics, gymnastics and self-defense. I mean, they are hurling each other around the stage and kicking the you-know-what out of each other (with very light contact). Piers gives 'em an instant X. Sharon and The Hoff are intrigued. Piers asks a very valid question: how can this act help you win the competition? Sharon asks if Alex and her Dad are sent on to Vegas, how can they build upon this act in the upcoming weeks? Alex: "I would bring in more people and fight off more attackers because it's not always one person who attacks you." Can't argue with that. She wins Sharon over and they're headed to Vegas.Sarah Lenore - She comes out with her guitar and belts out Car...

The ultimate winner collects $1 million and a Vegas contract.This week we start in Dallas (where, by the way, ventriloquist Terry Fator was discovered last year).Corky Duke - does some kind of cowboy contortionist routine. Three quick X's. But, you know what? He can kick kind of high.The Rodeo Rhythm Kings - Three cowboys (oh, right, we're in Dallas) playing the violin, bass and geetar. They also tried to harmonize. X-X-X.Then a quick series of rejected acts: a guy jumping off a horse, a woman trying to catch hula hoops,a guy snapping and clapping his fingers.The judges and the Springer-ized energetic audience appear to have seen enough.Holly Hardin - She's nahn-TAY-in (19). Sings These Boots Are Made For Walking and the audience is buying it. No X's, but Sharon is not in love with her singing. Piers likes her, b...

Week Two of finding the nation's best talent. And, sadly, again in standard definition. Piers, Sharon and The Hoff are in L.A. with Jerry. The judges' picks move onto the next round in Las Vegas, all vying for a grand prize of $1 million and a Vegas contract. Victoria - a singing fairy (and part-time nanny) who sings in a three-and-a-half octave voice. Er, right. She is perhaps three and a half notes into When You Wish Upon a Star when Piers issues an 'X' with a buzzer that blows everyone's ears out. Then she's no'd out the door.Daniel Avila - He compares himself to Luciano Pavarotti, but sounds more like Chef Boyardee. Hoff howls like a dog. Gone.Polina Nikiforova - She (looks like a he with a mustache) and her mother playing ther keyboard. Polina does everything with a pair of cymbals but clap them together. Three quick X's.Eli Mattson - Inspirational story of a young man who's had some rough financial times. I'm hoping he does well. Sings Walking in Memphis and he's pretty good,...

We're back for another season and the first thing I notice is this show is not in high definition. Uh, NBC, 2008 called and it will see you now. This show takes place in a darn theater. I think you guys can dig up a few HD cameras. OK, I feel better.The big news is that this year's winner wins $1 million and a gig in Las Vegas. That's big. Plus, we learn last year's winner, ventriloquist Terry Fator, has just signed a $100 million deal to perform in Vegas.Piers Morgan, Sharon Osborne, David Hasselhoff and host Jerry Springer are back, and they're holding auditions in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.Bill Curlee aka "Serious Mysterious" - Not a bad Tom Jones impression, until he began singing. Instant X's from Piers, Hoff and the entire audience. Sharon, strangley, lets him finish. Did she think it was Ozzy? (vote: 3 no's)Nick Afanasiev - the guy can just about lick his entire nose with his tongue. Would this work in Vegas? All X's.The judges were modestly entertained by Lady J and ...

Nothing says summer is here quite like the Hoff, Sharon Osborne and that curmudgeon British dude sitting behind the judges' table for an all new season of America's Got Talent. And get a load of this kid's unlikely talent — baton twirling. Now before you dismiss the performance as some lame beauty pageant shtick, you may want to check it out. We'd like to see this contestant's childhood bullies and haters twirling fire batons on their necks while on national television. Sweet, sweet revenge!

Courteney Cox by Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com
Everyone was giving scoop at the season premiere of Courteney Cox's FX series, Dirt, on Thursday evening. According to the cast, viewers can expect more ripped-from-the-headlines plots and familiar celebrity characters this season, including one about a very publicly drunk male star — inspired by David Hasselhoff — and crazy antics from the Britney-inspired character "Sharlee Cates" (played by Ashley Johnson).Coexecutive producer and Cox hubby David Arquette — who directed an episode this season — told TV Guide that sometimes, real life imitates what happens on the show and not the other way around, as viewers may suspect."We want it to be current so we try to predict things before they happen," said Arquette. "We did something with our Britney character that actually came true. There's a relationship with a paparazzi that we filmed before it actually happened, so when it happened, we were like, 'Whoa. That's interesting.'"The cast couldn't give away all the deta...

Justin Bruening by Mitch Haddad/NBC
Jeers to Knight Rider for stalling at the starting line. I was never a fan of the original '80s series — in the Hasselhoff canon, my taste veers more to Baywatch — but it was more entertaining than this crap-tastic remake. As the voice of KITT 3000, the monotonous Val Kilmer sounded like he literally phoned in his performance (original choice Will Arnett, who had to drop out due to a sponsorship conflict, would've been more fun). New driver Justin Bruening is one bland slab of beefcake, and the special effects looked slapped together on roughly the catering budget for Transformers. Seriously, the Hoff's drunken-burger video was less embarrassing.For another take on Knight Rider, read the Roush Dispatch.• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Lost's "rescue" team, CBS' Welcome to the Captain, the return of late-night TV and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or ...
