Which of these worthy contestants will get your vote when Season 20 finally goes live? Steve Ray Ladson (Week 1) The country singer auditioned with his original song 'Back of My Truck,' sending him through to the front of the line. B Unique Crew (Week 1) This head-turning (and occasionally head-detaching) dance crew nearly earned a Golden Buzzer on the final day of auditions. Loco Pop Familia (Week 1) After being called 'annoying' by Mel B, this cuddly dance crew has something to prove: 'We will show Mel B that America loves cats!' CitiLimitz (Week 1) This R&B trio charmed Mel B with a serenade — but can their harmonies win over the viewers at home?

Shuler King (Week 1) This funeral director-turned-comedian had the judges in stitches with a lively routine. Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras (Week 1) What #Scandoval? The former Vanderpump Rules star will be back to SUR-ve vocals in the live shows. Sirca Marea (Week 1) This married couple put everything on the line in their gravity- and death-defying audition. Light Wire (Week 1) This Brazilian act, which delivered what Simon Cowell called 'one of the most beautiful, stunning' performances he's seen on AGT, was the first Golden Buzzer recipient of the season. Charity Lockhart (Week 1) This musical mom struck a chord with the audience — and with Mel B, who gave Lockhart a Golden Buzzer. Jourdan Blue (Week 1) This New Orleans-based street singer — and his exceptional head of hair — made the most of his time on the AGT stage, winning a Golden Buzzer. Leo High School Choir (Week 2) This Chicago-based school group left a 'powerful' impression on Simon Cowell. Ben Hightower (Week 2) This Tennessee native traded his Military career for a shot at stardom, going viral with his performance of Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club.'

Alain Simonov (Week 2) There's something 'mystical and sexy' about this 24-year-old magician, according to Sofia Vergara. Let's see if America agrees. Bay Melnick Virgolino (Week 2) This 10-year-old rocker could shred with the best of 'em, which he proved with his electrifying audition. Alex Zinger & Crew (Week 2) It didn't work out for him the first time, but Alex finally managed to dance his way into the judges' hearts in Season 20. Mama Duke (Week 2) 'Feels So Good' was one of the best original songs we've ever heard on the AGT stage, so it came as no surprise when it also shot to the top of the iTunes pop charts. Boston Dynamics (Week 2) We've seen plenty of animal acts on AGT. But robot dogs? That's a new one — and still weirdly cute. Jonglissimo (Week 2) Impressive juggling meets mind-blowing artistry when this one-of-a-kind Austrian act takes the stage. Duo Stardust (Week 2) Performing stunts while rolling around on skates is difficult enough — but this duo took it to the next level by adding acrobatics and pyrotechnics into the mix. Unreal (Week 2) This group came all the way from India to prove to their parents that they could make it as dancers — and make it they did (complete with a Golden Buzzer). Micah Palace (Week 3) This mega-viral Connecticut native managed to impress the judges with a single turntable, his mom's ironing board and a microphone. Maceo Harrison (Week 3) A member of the iconic Savannah Bananas, this dancer used every inch of the stage (and every last drop of his own energy) to leave the judges speechless. Mastermind (Week 3) Simon Cowell called his audition 'the best magic we've seen all year,' so it came as no surprise when he was revealed to be joining the live shows. Benn Family Band (Week 3) The judges still get emotional thinking about this family band, who displayed incredible resilience after losing their home in the recent Altadena fires. Anna Saranina (Week 3) A former member of Deadly Games, one of the most iconic AGT acts of all time, Anna returned to the stage solo at the behest of her young daughter. Austin Brown (Week 3) When his first audition didn't earn him the yeses he needed, this determined singer returned to the AGT stage for redemption — and he got it! Chris Turner (Week 3) This freestyle rapper made it through by spitting verses about Simon Cowell's grocery shopping habits. And we're sold! Girish and the Chronicles (Week 3) This Indian band blew the judges away with a rockin' remix of Adele's 'Set Fire to the Rain.' Jacqueline & Wagner (Week 3) This high-flying, wild-swinging couple is not to root for — while also crossing our fingers and toes that they don't fall to the ground. Messoudi Brothers (Week 3) Yes, these were the brothers who managed to undress and swap outfits… all while juggling enormous knives from across the stage. Jessica Sanchez (Week 3) A semifinalist from the show's first-ever season, Sanchez returned to AGT in a big way with her Golden Buzzer-winning performance of Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things.' Team Recycled (Week 4) What began as a small group of dancers on stage quickly evolved into 'an event,' with performers appearing throughout the entire auditorium. Zak Mirz (Week 4) This endearing magician used his daughter's favorite things to create an impressive act the judges couldn't resist. Chuck Adams (Week 4) We've never heard the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris' sung quite like this before — and we mean that in the best way. Gendai (Week 4) Direct from Japan, this performer combines light and dance to create a truly unique experience. Cole Swensen & Judy (Week 4) We would have loved Swensen's performance of Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' even if Swensen wasn't joined on the cello by his mom — but that did make us love it more. TT Boys (Week 4) These flippin' incredible acrobats have been performing together for 20 years, and it shows in their confident, undeniable connection. Crash Adams (Week 4) Already a viral sensation, this band found even more success after their audition; their original song 'Optimist' climbed the charts, surpassing the likes of Justin Bieber and Chappell Roan. Astrid Jorgensen (Week 4) This Australian vocalist managed to turn the AGT audience into a choir all its own, resulting in a surprisingly beautiful group performance of Toto's 'Africa.' The Funkateer Dancers (Week 4) This old-school Michigan foursome had everyone cheering for their fancy footwork — and had Terry Crews hitting his Golden Buzzer. Birmingham Youth Choir (Week 4) We're still feeling the joy from this gospel choir's Golden Buzzer-winning, Sister Act-inspired audition. The Boykinz (Week 4) Terry Crews hit his other Golden Buzzer for these sisters from Georgia, whose singing, dancing routine had everyone ready to giddy-up.

The Vanderpump Rules star didn't hold back on the latest episode of the podcast Not Skinny But Not Fatwhile discussing her July memoir, My Good Side. When the 40-year-old reality star addressed the book's bombshell list of romantic liaisons on the podcast, host Amanda Hirsch asked, 'Who was, like, the best hook-up?' Shay replied, 'Shemar [Moore].'

Never miss the latest entertainment news from Australia and around the world — download the app direct to your phone. US reality star Scheana Shay lifts the lid on her Hollywood hook-ups in her new memoir. Shay did not identify the other A-listers she 'left out' of the list, including 'two actors from The Notebook.' Hirsch pointed out that Ryan Gosling stars in that 2004 movie, with Shay cryptically saying she was 'not confirming or denying.' Gosling has been in a relationship with his Place Beyond the Pines co-star Eva Mendes since 2011, previously dating Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively and Rachel McAdams. The film's other cast members include James Marsden and Kevin Connolly. Shay joked, 'Maybe there's another book one day.' Reps for Moore, Gosling, Marsden and Connolly did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment. Shay explained to readers that when hooking up with a slew of Hollywood hunks wasn't 'working out,' she started dating guys 'under the radar.' Actor Shemar Moore got a shout-out as her 'best' Hollywood hook-up … Picture: ABC Studios/Cliff Lipson … while she also teased she'd been with two actors from The Notebook, famously starring Ryan Gosling. Picture: AFP She noted, 'It [was] time to switch things up. … I didn't want any of the fanfare or complications that came with being linked to someone famous. I wanted to be with someone who was grounded.' Shay has since been married twice — first to music producer Michael Shay from 2014 to 2017 and, most recently, to personal trainer Brock Davies. The latter cheated on Shay before they tied the knot, but Davies did not cop to the affair — which happened during his partner's pregnancy — until after their 2022 Mexico wedding. Shay kept the betrayal a secret until describing the experience in her memoir. She denied 'wild' speculation on Tuesday that the infidelity was revealed 'to sell books,' something Kristen Doute hinted at in last week's episode of the same podcast by asking, 'You and your husband got over this years ago. Why now?' Shay brushed off the accusations, asking haters, 'Who in their right mind would [do] that?' As for Davies, he broke his silence on the 'sexual affair' on the Scheananigans With Scheana Shay podcast last month and called his past self a 'coward.'

Scheana Shay names best Hollywood hookups as she hints at tryst with an A-lister
Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay has laid bare many of her Hollywood hookups but played coy as she hinted at a tryst with a legitimate A-lister. The 40-year-old reality star - who recently revealed her husband cheated on her while pregnant - revealed her 'best' celebrity lover and discussed her other romantic rendezvous with people of stature. Scheana appeared on podcast Not Skinny But Not Fat released on Tuesday where she discussed her bombshell list of Hollywood hookups from her memoir My Good Side which hit bookstores last month. At the time she released an impressive list of names including John Mayer, Jesse Metcalfe, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, Shane West, Adrian Grenier, William Tell, Ricardo Chavira, Josh Hopkins, and of course Eddie Cibrian in addition to unnamed NFL, NBA, and MLB players. However, she did not identify some A-listers who she 'left out' of the hookup list including 'two actors from The Notebook.' As Ryan Gosling was the lead actor in the classic 2004 romance film, podcast host Amanda Hirsch pointed out the 44-year-old Oscar nominee had starred in the film and Scheana coyly answered that she was 'not confirming or denying.' Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay (pictured in New York last month) has laid bare many of her Hollywood hookups but played coy as she hinted at a tryst with a legitimate A-lister Other The Notebook castmembers included James Marsden, Kevin Connolly, Sam Shepard, David Thornton, Ed Grady, and Obba Babatunde. Scheana went on to joke: 'Maybe there's another book one day.' Ryan has been in a relationship with fellow actress Eva Mendes since they worked together on the film Place Beyond The Pines in 2011 as they share two children together. He had previously dated A-listers Blake Lively, Sandra Bullock, and Rachel McAdams. Podcast host Amanda also asked Scheana: 'Who was, like, the best hookup?' The Good As Gold hitmaker replied: 'Shemar [Moore].' The multihyphenate also admitted that when enjoying romantic liaisons with stars wasn't 'working out' she started dating guys 'under the radar.' She admitted: 'It [was] time to switch things up. … I didn't want any of the fanfare or complications that came with being linked to someone famous. I wanted to be with someone who was grounded.' As Ryan Gosling (pictured April 2024) was the lead actor in the classic 2004 romance film, podcast host Amanda Hirsch pointed out the 44-year-old Oscar nominee had starred in the film and Scheana coyly answered that she was 'not confirming or denying' This came weeks after Scheana had revealed her husband Brock Davies cheated on her while pregnant with their daughter, Summer, who they welcomed in April 2021. In an excerpt from her aforementioned book, My Good Side, the Vanderpump Rules star recalled the moment she learned her partner was unfaithful. 'I remained in a state of paralyzed shock as he confessed that he'd cheated on me two years prior, when we were living in San Diego during the pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer,' she wrote. While speaking about her state of mind, at the time, the TV personality explained: 'I had spent so much time fighting off my anxiety and convincing myself that just because Tom [Sandoval] cheated on Ariana [Madix] didn't mean Brock would ever cheat on me. Now, I was finding out just how wrong I was.' 'As I sat there, feeling completely sick to my stomach, he admitted that — at the time — he was scared about being a father again, specifically about whether he even deserved to be, and he chose to deal with it by sleeping with someone else,' she recalled. 'I use the word 'chose' because it was very much a conscious decision. No one twisted his arm or dragged him into bed.' Davies's admission came after her costars Tom Sandoval and Rachel 'Raquel' Leviss' affair was exposed to the world. Shay admitted after his confession she was 'unable to contain my rage' about his 'brief affair' with a woman at his gym in 2021. 'I slapped him and threw a Rubik's cube in his direction, which he dodged,' she wrote. 'To this day, every time I see a Rubik's cube it triggers me, pulling me right back to this incredibly dark moment in my life. Same goes for any mention of an F45 gym,' she wrote. Shay revealed that same night Davies gave her a letter he had written a year after the affair ended. 'He wrote the letter, which included more specifics than I ever wanted, such as how many times they'd slept together, where they'd done it, and where they hadn't (our house),' she added. 'He also pointed out that it was purely physical, never emotional, and he always used protection.' Shay noted she doesn't believe Davies was 'sober when he put pen to paper, so the spelling errors were rampant.' 'I can't explain why, but that really irritated me. Maybe because it felt like another sign of his carelessness,' she said. 'The letter made me remember the weeks leading up to my second trimester when, like many pregnant women, I was sexually stimulated. I'll never forget how, during that time, Brock was 'afraid' to have sex with me (or he simply didn't want to).' At the time, Shay recalled how his brushing off her advances spiked her anxiety and 'killed' her confidence. 'His behavior now made so much more sense. Once I'd read it, that was more than enough. I told him to immediately toss it into the fire. I never wanted to set eyes on those words again,' she explained. Shay also admitted she was paranoid about the gossip that her husband and Leviss were having an affair. 'I knew in my heart that the gossip concerning Brock and Raquel was ridiculously fake... [but] there was the smallest section of my brain that kept thinking: If Tom and Raquel pulled the wool over everyone's eyes for seven months, could Brock and Raquel have done the same thing?' she wondered. Davies broke the news to her as she sat down in front of the TV to watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey. 'Brock said that with all of the fake news being published, he was afraid that something that actually was true might surface, and it was best that I heard it directly from him,' she said. Shay also detailed the lengths that Davies went to, in order to hide the affair. 'I was a little confused because I'd always had his location and could have checked it at any time. How had I not caught them? But he also had a second phone for work, which I did know about but didn't monitor. It turned out that was their sole form of communication. Nice, right?' she scoffed. Despite her agony over his confession, she refrained from screaming because he didn't want to wake their daughter. The couple, who share four-year-old Summer, began dating in 2019 and got engaged two years later. They tied the knot in 2022 in front of Vanderpump Rules cameras for all their fans. She was previously married to music producer Michael Shay from 2014 to 2017.

Scheana Shay Details 'Really Scary' Near-Death Experience While Giving Birth to Daughter Summer Moon
The reality TV star welcomed her daughter Summer Moon in April 2021NEED TO KNOW Scheana Shay is opening up about her "really scary" near-death birth experience The Vanderpump Rules star shared she had HELLP syndrome, a life-threatening pregnancy complication often considered a variant of preeclampsia Shay welcomed daughter Summer Moon in April 2021 with husband Brock DaviesScheana Shay is opening up about her "really scary" birth experience. While joining Not Skinny But Not Fat host Amanda Hirsch on her podcast to talk about her new memoir My Good Side, the Vanderpump Rules star, 40, spoke about everything from the biggest dramas on the hit Bravo show to her near-death birth experience. Shay, who's a mom to daughter Summer Moon, 4, discussed her "really scary" experience with HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets), a rare pregnancy complication that mainly affects the blood and liver and can be fatal. "I was perfectly comfortable pregnant," Shay began, adding that she would have stayed pregnant for 11 months if she could have done that. However, Shay explained there was a caveat in waiting out her pregnancy. "I'm supposed to go back to work on whatever it was, like May 2 [or] May 3. And that date is not changing. So we can wait out the pregnancy, see a week or two weeks, but then I could be on camera and my water breaks." She went on to explain that she and her doctor both agreed that she needed as much time as possible to adjust to being a new mom before returning to work. Ultimately, they both decided to induce her around her 40-week appointment. "While I was in labor — about 15 hours in — they tell me I have preeclampsia, [and] they need to put me on this magnesium," she said. "It was so scary. I'm shaking uncontrollably. I'm like, oh my god. I'm killing my baby because I'm trying to force her out so I can film a TV show. What is wrong with me?" "Thank God they did induce me because what if I did just go into labor, and I had a stroke and died because we didn't have enough time to monitor my blood pressure and her heart rate," she said. "It could have gone so much worse if I wasn't being monitored for so long, so carefully." Shay shares her daughter with her husband Brock Davies, 35. In her new memoir My Good Side, Shay spoke about wanting to grow her family with her husband, following her experience giving birth naturally. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Shay said that although she's not yet ready for another child, she intends to explore the surrogate route "eventually." "He and I have had several conversations about it, and you know what, if it just wasn't in the cards, that's okay, but we are going to explore the surrogate route eventually," she shared. "I froze my eggs seven years ago, so now he's just got to fertilize them." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "And one step at a time, I'm not ready for another baby just yet, and I want to enjoy more time with Summer before we have a baby and we're changing diapers and we're trying to travel," she continues. "And it is just going to change the entire dynamic of our little family unit." While Shay said she's "really happy" with how their family is now, she's open to reevaluating things after her daughter Summer begins kindergarten. "Even finding a surrogate, it's going to be a long process, so I'm open to it," she continued. "I would love for Summer to have a sibling. I'm just not there yet, but I'm ready to take the next steps soon after book tour. I need to just get through the book tour and then we can talk baby." Read the original article on People
