21-year-old 'America's Got Talent' audience member brought to tears as mom surprise-nominates her to audition
There's nothing like the strength of a mother's love to bring everyone to tears. On America's Got Talent on Tuesday, a mom brought on the waterworks when she nominated her 21-year-old daughter to audition on the show — completely unbeknownst to her daughter, Anna Wilson. Partway through the episode of the talent competition show, a producer could be heard explaining the situation to host Terry Crews, who gamely played along. The mother, who said her name is Carrie, then went up on stage, much to the shock of her daughter. "I'm actually here surprising my daughter," the mother began from the stage, when Simon Cowell asked who she is. The camera panned to Wilson, who was shown wiping tears from her face. "She thinks we're here for a VIP experience in the audience, but I nominated Anna to audition here today." Anna started visibly sobbing, as the audience started loudly screaming their support. "Good thing she looks so happy," Cowell joked. As Anna walked to the stage, panelists Mel B and Sofia Vergara kept it real, with Mel joking, "I'd be so mad at my mom," and Vergara quipping, "I'd kill her." Carrie and Anna hugged, and then Anna told the panel she really had no idea her mom was going to nominate her and she felt "confused" in the moment. Cowell kindly told her to go backstage, "throttle your mom," and then take a few minutes to prepare something to perform. An hour later, after telling Crews that she "feels good" and was ready to go, Anna went back out onstage. Creating a "full circle moment," she told the panel she would be performing a song she always dedicates to her mom, "Make You Feel My Love." Part way through the performance, of course, Cowell had to ruin the moment, and cut her off because the song "was a bit boring," which prompted boos from the audience. Luckily, she had a second song in mind, Maren Morris' "My Church." After gathering herself, Anna nailed it, much to the delight of the audience and the panel. Vergara told her, "That was beautiful. Simon always is right. I know it was nerve-wracking to be stopped in the middle of a song, but usually when he does that it's because he knows there is potential, and you definitely, definitely have potential." In the end, Howie Mandel, Vergara, and Cowell voted to give her another chance, and it all made for one of the most dramatic and emotional moments on the show's landmark 20th season so far. Watch the full spectacle in the video clip, above. Elsewhere in the episode, a girl group delighted the audience so much they insisted the group get a golden buzzer, and Crews came out onstage to oblige. America's Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Even Sarah Jessica Parker ‘would never wear' some of Carrie Bradshaw's outfits
She couldn't help but wonder… what was Carrie Bradshaw thinking? Sarah Jessica Parker recently admitted that even she wouldn't step out in some of her 'Sex and the City' character's wildest outfits. The 'And Just Like That' star, 60, weighed in on Carrie's divisive fashion choices during an appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen' on Sunday, July 13. Advertisement 6 Sarah Jessica Parker weighed in on Carrie Bradshaw's divisive fashion choices on 'Watch What Happens Live.' Charles Sykes/Bravo In a segment called 'The Shady Hat,' inspired by the viral gingham hat Carrie wore in the Season 3 premiere of 'And Just Like That,' Parker was asked if there was 'one thing that Carrie has worn that [she], SJP, would never be caught dead in.' 'I mean, there are piles and piles of laundry… of things that I would never wear,' she answered, only to be asked if she herself would ever sport that hat. 'I'd have to have a really good reason. I probably wouldn't have just strolled around Washington Square Park.' Advertisement 'I do want to say, that milliner is a woman named Maryam Keyhani, and she's amazing,' the 'Hocus Pocus' actress added. 'That hat is one of many pieces of works of art — whatever you want to do, make it a funny thing — but she's incredible.' 6 'And Just Like That' viewers compared Carrie to Strawberry Shortcake. HBO Fan backlash over the hat saw viewers comparing Carrie to Strawberry Shortcake, a reaction 'And Just Like That' costume designer Molly Rogers didn't think was warranted. 'Do you want Carrie to walk through the park with Seema with a straw hat on from I don't know, I can do it. I mean, I don't want to,' Rogers told Page Six. Advertisement She added, 'That kind of annoyed me, because I think at this point, we're all a big family, we all watched the show, we know what it is. That fazes you?' 6 Sarah Jessica Parker in Season 3 of 'And Just Like That.' MAX Still, Rogers and co-costume designer Danny Santiago were prepared that 'people were going to come for [them].' Parker, however, was the reason Carrie wore the controversial hat in the first place, she revealed to USA Today last month. Advertisement 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' she told the outlet. 'At this point, there's no pretend dilly-dallying around. We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it and hope that Michael Patrick [King] ('And Just Like That' creator) is hospitable to the idea.' 6 Sarah Jessica Parker said Carrie's dress felt 'incomplete' without the cloud-like headpiece. AP Parker added that the accompanying dress — one she said reminded her of Neapolitan ice cream — felt 'incomplete' without the cloud-like headpiece. 'Once you've put a lot of hats on your head, you feel like it's missing its punctuation point,' she said. 'There was that hat. It was going to be a lovely summer day, and it just felt like the period at the end of the sentence. I loved it, and [King] agreed. I feel we've really worn him down. His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he's pretty generous about how often they can appear.' King, for his part, told USA Today, 'It's like, 'Hey, everybody, we're back! Here's a hat that Carrie would wear eating sherbet in Washington Square Park. Why not?' I've learned over the years that sometimes logic is not as good as a hat. It makes people say, 'I love it. I hate it. Oh, my God, what was she thinking?'' 6 Sarah Jessica Parker in Season 2 of 'And Just Like That.' Craig Blankenhorn/Max King also told the outlet he predicts 'it'll be a thing' for months to come. 'It'll be a meme,' he stated. 'People will wear it at Halloween. It's always fun, but with that [hat] particularly, I had to call up some of the writers and say, 'Get ready. Once it's on the head, it's not coming off.'' Advertisement During her appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live,' Parker also shared her thoughts on which 'Sex and the City' character had the worst style. Parker starred alongside Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) in the original series. 6 Sarah Jessica Parker during her appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.' Charles Sykes/Bravo 'I think there were images at one point of us arriving in New York, and the way we dressed — I think there was a montage of our arrival, like newborn babies exposed to nothing,' she said. 'I would say all of us at the beginning.' Season 3 of 'And Just Like That' premiered on May 29 on HBO Max. Episodes release weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale scheduled for August 14.

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't watch And Just Like That...
Sarah Jessica Parker refuses to watch And Just Like That... The 60-year-old actress reprised the role of Carrie Bradshaw to star in the Sex and The City sequel series - but Sarah doesn't enjoy watching herself on-screen. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Sarah explained: "I don't not watch it because I'm being cavalier about my relationship [to the project]. I don't watch it because I don't love watching my work [and] myself." Despite this, Sarah insisted that she cares enormously about the TV show. The actress explained: "It doesn't touch on how I feel about the experience or how much I care. In fact, it's because I care that I can't watch it.' Earlier this year, Sarah stressed that she feels proud to play Carrie. The actress has played the iconic character in Sex and The City and the show's revival series, And Just Like That... - and Sarah admits that she's always relished the experience of playing Carrie. During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the actress shared: "First of all, the way she was speaking, like her choice of language, I'd never seen or heard a woman talk like that." Sarah then explained that she respects Carrie's "curiosity about sex and sexual politics". The actress - who stars in And Just Like That... alongside the likes of Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon - added: "Which is not like me - I don't talk about that at all even with friends. I'll talk about it globally, but I don't sit and share intimate details of my life that way." Sarah thinks of Carrie as being a "little survivor". The actress - who is married to Hollywood star Matthew Broderick - explained: "I admired that she was scrappy. "She was a little survivor. She had instincts to keep her head [up], not always making smart choices and falling short of being the best friend or the best girlfriend or her best self, but I also was very happy that they were writing her that way."
