Piers Morgan has reportedly signed a £5.5 million deal with US cable television news channel CNN to replace renowned talkshow host Larry King, who will be retiring in a few months. Apparently executives at CNN are fans of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories on ITV. US broadcast television network NBC, home of America’s Got Talent on which Morgan is a judge, is rumored to have agreed to share him with CNN. It is not clear whether Morgan will continue as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.

First Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell captivated America with American Idol and now Piers will be replacing one of the highest profile talk shows in the United States – the Brits really are taking over American telly! Congratulations Piers!

My oh Myleene, get a load of who’s about to hit US shores! Myleene Klass has bagged a plum role fronting the American version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! And I think it couldn’t have happened to a nicer girl…

I missed catching up with My’ at the Cannes Film Festival where I heard yesterday she was rubbing shoulders with likes of A-listers such as Hilary Swank and Paris Hilton, oo-er!
