From: Sharon Pohlman ‘America’s Got Talent’: Simon Cowell Teases Big Changes in Season 20 as Mel B. Returns Emily Aslanian When the lights came on for the first-ever season of America’s Got Talent in the summer of 2006, over 12 million viewers were watching. That hugely successful launch — which boasted even better numbers than another talent show featuring Simon Cowell, American Idol — solidified the everyone-is-welcome talent competition as appointment television. But according to Cowell, it almost didn’t happen. “I can vividly remember NBC making us an offer to buy the show — and it was so exciting because nobody else wanted it,” the host recalls with a laugh. “I was so grateful and just so excited that we could do it. If it hadn’t been on NBC, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.” Two decades later, as AGT prepares to open its 20th season, with host Terry Crews and judges Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofía Vergara, that buzzing excitement is in the air. Former Spice Girl Mel B, who returns to AGT after participating in The Champions and Fantasy League spinoffs, says the feeling is incredible. “It’s a completely different experience,” notes the singer, who recalls that she was in a toxic marriage the first time she sat at the judges’ table (she previously judged from 2013 to 2018). “Now, when I do the show, I can give 100 percent all the time. I also find that, because of what I’ve gone through, the contestants open up to me so much more.” Her inspiring story calls to mind dozens of other emotional moments that play out in any given episode as people from all over the globe step onstage. “One young man danced so hard [that after] he got through backstage, he collapsed in my arms,” Crews recalls of an audition this season. “It was with joy, but you could just see he gave everything he had. He couldn’t even stand up. That blew me away.” Mandel, now the longest-standing judge, with 15 seasons under his belt, calls the show “the epicenter of hope and dreams coming true.” After seeing that confetti rain down on winners, it’s hard to disagree. “There are moments that really stick out,” Mandel says. “When they do, you know that you’ve been witness to something incredibly special.” Viewers will now be able to see those special moments up close, explains Cowell, because of the intriguing way this season was packaged and shot. “We have [traditionally] shown about two-thirds of what really happens on the day. There’s an awful lot of stuff going on behind the scenes — what a contestant is going through, what it’s like to be in the audience — which you don’t see. I don’t even see. I’ve always thought that is so interesting,” he says, noting, “It’s about the closest [viewers have gotten] to being in my chair in all the years I’ve done it.” Crews says it felt like the camera was on him 24/7, but giving away his Golden Buzzers — Crews and the judges each get two chances to send a performer straight to the live shows, which kick off later this summer — is euphoric. “It’s better than money,” Crews says. “I know it’s a million dollars at stake, but you’re talking about validating someone’s dream, and that’s very rare to get, especially as an entertainer. It’s so much rejection, so many sacrifices. [Getting the Golden Buzzer says,] ‘We hear you. We believe in you, and you’ve been right all along.’” “Somebody gets a Golden Buzzer and they are crushed with beautiful emotion,” Mandel adds. “They know that their life’s never going to be the same. Every year, at least once, I walk over to Simon’s seat in the midst of this, and I go, ‘Simon, look at what your idea has done. And look at you, now on the other side of the globe, looking at a group of kids who come from a dark place, and they are being rained down with confetti and golden opportunity.” It’s not just emotional for the performers, but also for Cowell. “If you said to me at the beginning, ‘Do you think you’ll get to 10 years?’ I would’ve said, ‘God willing.’ Twenty years, that would’ve been, ‘Are you kidding?’ Now, because of how many people you see around the world

The nine-time Grammy and two-time Oscar winner was triumphant in all seven of her nominated categories. Despite leading nominations with a total of 10 nods and having a banner year, Kendrick Lamar won only a single category, Favorite Hip-Hop Song, with smash hit “Not Like Us.” New categories this year included Album of the Year and Song of the Year, both won by Eilish, as well as Social Song of the Year, which Doechii’s “Anxiety” claimed. Artists Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Post Malone, SZA, The Weeknd and Twenty One Pilots all took home multiple trophies. Performers during the ceremony included Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Reneé Rapp, Benson Boone, and Lainey Wilson, and Janet Jackson was the recipient of the Icon Award for her legacy in music. Rod Stewart, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award, closed out the evening with an energetic performance. (See who walked the red carpet in their finery here.)

New research funded by the Human Frontier Science Program suggests that plants can not only pick up on the sounds visiting pollinators make, which include wing flapping and noises related to landing and taking off, but they can also “respond.” ? ?To figure this out, the researchers played recordings of buzzing noises from snail-shell bees, an efficient snapdragon pollinator, next to a group of the flowers. Their findings? The buzzing caused the snapdragons to generate more sugar and nectar, a change that could be seen at the genetic level. ? These sounds “could be used to treat economically relevant plants and crops,” speculated Francesca Barbero, a professor of zoology who worked on the project, in a statement. She added: “The multitude of ways plants can perceive both biotic factors — such as beneficial and harmful insects, other neighboring plants — and abiotic cues, like temperature, drought, and wind in their surroundings, is truly astonishing.” Together With hear.com?

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 26 Spiral Galaxy NGC 2566 from Webb Image Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, A. Leroy Explanation: What’s happening in the center of spiral galaxy NGC 2566? First, the eight rays that appear to be coming out of the center in the featured infrared image are not real — they are diffraction spikes caused by the mechanical structure of the Webb space telescope itself. The center of NGC 2566 is bright but not considered unusual, which means that it likely contains a supermassive black hole, although currently not very active. At only 76 million light years away, the light we see from NGC 2566 today left when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The picturesque galaxy is close enough so that Earthly telescopes, including Webb and Hubble, can resolve the turbulent clouds of gas and dust where stars can form and so allows study of stellar evolution. NGC 2566, similar in size to our Milky Way Galaxy, is notable for its bright central bar and its prominent outer spiral arms.
