Can you believe we’ve already reached Season 14 of NBC’s hit reality competition series, ‘America’s Got Talent’?

Yet, as the show is currently taping auditions and looking for fresh new talent to light up its stages, the network opted to take a similar approach by refreshing its judging panel as well.  Ousting model Heidi Klum and Spice Girls singer Mel B from the series after they both hopped aboard in season 8, actress Gabrielle Union and singer/dancer/actress Julianne Hough have taken their place and will join returning judges Simon Cowell and comedian Howie Mandel.
