SHARON OSBOURNE - OSBOURNE TO REPLACE BRANDY?

SHARON OSBOURNE is planning a return to US TV - to replace troubled singer BRANDY on hit show AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. The reality TV queen, whose US chat show was axed in 2005, is reportedly being courted as a judge for the upcoming second season of the hit series, which will be hosted by JERRY SPRINGER. The news comes as R+B singer Brandy fights a vehicular manslaughter charge after reportedly causing a fatal post-Christmas car crash. Osbourne's an easy replacement - she is a judge on British talent show THE X FACTOR, alongside SIMON COWELL, who is the brains behind America's Got Talent.
