David Walliams - Britain's Got Talent judge

David Walliams has apparently been offered a £500,000 to become a judge on ITV1 show, Britain's Got Talent!

Britain’s Got Talent will, of course, be two of its star judges lighter when the first round of auditions begins. Former newspaper editor Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell quit the show for some reasons. So the great opportunity and the cash go to David Walliams.

The pal has been quoted as saying that, “David is a colossal fan of the show. It's a big offer, but he's holding out for more. He won't assign until he knows accurately who else is on board” but, Amanda Holden’s still there…

If he is not interested, then who is the next Britain’s Got Talent judging panel this year?

AMERICAN IDOL' JUDGE JENNIFER LOPEZ

"Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez is seemingly viewing no preference towards hopefuls who sing her own songs on the hit show's auditions.

So far, the singer tells we had found 15-20 "real kings". She also says they've seen "a lot of immense countryside singers."

"We're going to have all different styles of songs," he says. A little more diversity – a little more shine before they get to the American public."

With the superior values, as always, comes negative response for numerous participants and Lopez says the elimination process is as rough on the judges as it is on the singers.

"I've cried," Lopez said. "We get a lot of delight when we put them during and destruction, almost, when they're not."
