Heidi Klum is adding yet another notch to her belt by becoming a judge on America's Got Talent .

The German supermodel will join three other judges, comedian Howie Mandel, DJ Howard Stern and fellow newbie and former Spice Girl Mel B (nope, we're not sure why either), who will seek to find America's most talented citizen.

Klum was chosen for her "international sensibility and understanding of what works in today's global entertainment industry", Paul Telegdy, president of NBC alternative and late-night programming told People.com , and we're betting her pretty face played a part too - after all, this is a Simon Cowell-produced show.

The 39-year-old is no stranger to reality TV contest format - she's also the host of Germany's Next Top Model and Project Runway, which aim to find the next big model and fashion designer, respectively.

Simon Cowell ZERO sense of Style

Britain might have talent, but if Simon Cowell's terrible outfit for day one of the auditions was anything to go by, it has zero style.

Ever since his primetime TV debut on Pop Idol, Simon Cowell has been a steady figure of fashion ridicule, from his stratospherically high-waisted trousers, to his penchant for a moob-hugging T-shirt.

But the ensemble the millionaire music mogul touted at the first day of Britain's Got Talent auditions this week really took the sartorial biscuit.

The Eighties aviators (it was a freezing, grey day in Cardiff) and snug v-neck (a knitted, wintery take on said moob-hugger), were standard issue. But the finishing flourishes to Cowell's outfit really took the term 'fashion lowpoint' to unchartered depths.

First, the oversized Crombie-style overcoat which ostensibly gave him the look of a puffed-up nightclub bouncer, until you realise that he is about 5 ft tall, giving him instead the look of a heavy set 12-year-old playing a nightclub bouncer in Bugsy Malone.

Next, the pointy shoes/boots. With his enormous upper torso and huge head, those pointy shoes are making him wither away to nothing, giving the effect of a genie popping out of a lamp. Seriously Simon, pointy shoes are an absolute no-no in 2013. Actually, they've always been a no-no for men…

But the piece de résistance here are his 'trendy' jeans. Bad enough that they're stonewashed, baggy and bootcut, Cowell adds insult to injury by having the hems sweep the floor!!

Kate Moss heading to the X Factor??

X Factor boss Simon Cowell wants supermodel Kate Moss to act as a style consultant on the show, according to rumours.

She's made her fortune posing in front of cameras, but when it comes to talking on camera, Kate Moss usually likes to keep mum.

All that could be set to change however, if rumours in the Mirror today turn out to be true.

The tabloid is reporting that X Factor mogul Simon Cowell is: "looking at ways of refreshing the show and one idea he will bring to the table is getting Kate Moss on board" according to a source.

The mole continues: "He knows how important the styling of the contestants is and having a supermodel and a world-famous name on board would certainly raise the bar. Kate could give the contestants advice and ideas on how they want to look and also how to look after themselves and still look great in the years ahead."
