'Project Runway' needs a little something to "make it work" again, and the fashion competition would benefit from taking a page from the 'American Idol' book by shaking up its judges panel. (Sorry, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, but where are the fireworks?)

All the 'American Idol' speculation has created even more buzz around the show. That's one benefit, but hopefully new judges will also take the show to a whole new entertainment level.

And 'Idol' is not alone when it comes to reality shows that have gotten stale. Far from it, actually. From 'Project Runway' to various dance competitions, here are six shows that could use some new blood.

The stars were out at NBC's big fall kick-off party, but no one was having as much fun as Jerry Springer and Piers Morgan.

The two opposing sides of some very emotional dice on America's Got Talent actually get along famously ... when they're not still bickering over whether a certain 4-year-old contestant should've gone home.

We talked to Jerry and Piers about what they're looking for on the show, whose name gets chanted the most and why Springer has become a total softie.
