Howard Stern revealed his inner-sentimentality last night on the debut of Simon Cowell's SUPER cheeseballz variety show, America's Got Talent, and we were HIGHly entertained!
The 'shock-jocker' also reigned in his bawdy, sexually-driven humor and charmed us with cute quips and eccentric (and obviously calculated) actions.
Watch as Howard compares muscle mass with The Savage Men AKA some HUNKY dudes (above)!
And, Howard even plucked at our heartstrings when he got up on stage to hug the trembling Simply Sergio, who after a shaky performance of The Girl From Ipanema, got sent off to the next round in Las Vegas.
Check out Howard's surprisingly sweet nature ...AFTER THE JUMP!

The Finder and Alcatraz fans, we're sorry for your loss.
Fox has officially announced the two freshman drama series will NOT be getting a second season.
Unlike the show's Lost-esque plot, Alcatraz's cancellation wasntotally predictable. The J.J. Abrams show suffered from dwindling ratings, and now the 4 people that watched it will never get their questions answered! SADFACE!
At least the nerds Abrams Sci-Fi fans still have Fringe!
Fox isn't just giving their dramas the boot. Comedies Breaking In and I Hate My Teenage Daughter have also been axed from their line up.
On the bright side, at least they still have Glee!!
AHH!!
We are SUPER thrilled for the premiere of ABC Family's ballet-based comedy Bunheads premiering this June 11th, but before we can precariously perch on our pointe shoes, we must indulge in this little snippet (above).
Sutton Foster's character is having all her matrimonial dreams come true... if only her mother-in-law wasn't stepping in and trampling all over them!
Oh it's going to be Gilmore Girls meets Center Stage... How can this show NOT be fantabulous!
HOOOOH SHIZ!
There is a vast difference between 'meh' opera singers and truly OUTSTANDING opera, and this youthful duo epitomize the latter!
For the Britain's Got Talent semi-final round, singers Charlotte and Jonathan SLAY Pavarotti's iconic song Caruso, and it may be one of the best opera performances we've ever encountered!
They are pitch perfect, with a super pure sound... SUCH a far cry from the 'good' opera can be quite easy to fake...
Get educated in magnificent music (above)!

Move over Rocky, there's a new Italian Stallion in town!
Or relatively new, at least.
The Borgias is only four episodes into its second season and it's already been picked up for another season!
The Showtime series features Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, "the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the infamous Italian Renaissance family who builds an empire by bribing, buying and muscling his way into the papacy."
This show has got some serious historical sexiness going for it.
The show has been Showtime's most watched series of its current lineup. It its most recent outing The Borgias drew 604,000 viewers, numbers that beat Nurse Jackie (429,00 viewers) and The Big C (429,00 viewers.)
The Borgias is definitely anything but bourgeois.
Producers for series have previously echoed sentiments that they'd like the show to eventually wrap in four seasons, and this announcement brings that goal closer to becoming a reality.
Don't you love when people set goals that they actually can reach.
Doesn't happen enough these days.
Congrats to everyone involved with the show!

It’s soon to be a pirate’s life for Bay!
Film producer/director Michael Bay will be hitting up TV for the very first time with a brand new series centered around PIRATES!!!
The series will be a Treasure Island prequel called Black Sails and will air eight episodes in 2014!!
The show is brought to us by Jericho creator Jon Steinberg and Bay will be serving as the series’ executive producer!!
Of his first TV venture, Bay said:
"I'm excited to branch out into television, especially doing a longform series for Starz, a network known for supporting cutting-edge programming.”
Black Sails will take viewers into the lives of pirate Captain Flint and his crew member, John Silver, as they fight against the high seas for their treasured paradise island!
...so can Jack Sparrow maybe make an appearance, perhaps??? LOLz!

Step aside, all you vamps! We are SO ready for a show full of seksi pirates!!!!

It's all about broadening the brand and appealing to the masses, right!?
After debuting a slew of new channels at their 'brand cast' event in NYC Tuesday, YouTube - owned by Google - enlisted one of the most popular musical artists of our day (Jay-Z) to sing his hit song that features one of the most beloved cities in the world (New York).
Way to think outside the box guys!
The event pitched innovative YouTube-only channels such as WIGS, a network geared toward women featuring programs starring big names such as Julia Stiles and Jennifer Garner.
Watch Jay-Z close the event, performing Empire State of Mind (above).
For such a 'forward thinking' conceptual event, why did Google have Jay-Z perform? He's so 2000 and late!
HAH! Jk, we LOVE Jay, but we would have liked to see a fresher musical act to go along with the theme!
