Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown Signs on for AMERICA'S GOT TALENT

'Scary Spice,' otherwise known as Melanie Brown, has reportedly signed a deal to replace Sharon Osbourne on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The news that Brown will join Howie Mandel and Howard Stern for NBC's summer talent show comes just two weeks before taping begins.

Brown joined the fifth season of the U.S. television hit Dancing with the Stars with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. They took second place in the show.

In April 2009, Brown joined actress and former Dancing With the Stars champion Kelly Monaco as original stars of a Las Vegas revue called Peepshow at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. In January 2010, Brown was selected to replace Marissa Jaret Winokur as the new host of Oxygen's weight loss show Dance Your Ass Off. She has also appeared on Broadway in RENT.

With the talent search open to acts of all ages, "America's Got Talent" has brought the variety format back to the forefront of American culture by showcasing performers from across the country. The series is a true celebration of the American spirit, featuring a colorful array of hopeful stars, including singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, magicians and ventriloquists, all vying for their chance to strut and perform on stage hoping to win America's hearts -- and the $1 million prize.

"America's Got Talent" is produced by FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell's SYCO Television. Simon Cowell, Cecile Frot-Coutaz ("American Idol"), Jason Raff, Ken Warwick ("American Idol") and Georgie Hurford-Jones are executive producers.

Season eight kicks off May 28 on NBC.
