Heidi Klum joins Americas Got Talent judging panel

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.

Though a native of Bergisch Gladbach, a small town just outside Cologne, Klum became a US citizen in 2008, and lives in Los Angeles with her four children.
