    Downfall of America’s Got Talent star who went from performing for millions on TV to being bullied in UK prison

    AN America’s Got Talent star went from performing for millions on TV to being bullied in a UK prison.Elijah Flores, 28, from Glendova in California, rocketed to fame as a dancer on the US show.

    But he has ended up getting bullied in a Merseyside prisonCredit: Greater Manchester Police
    He jetted around the world performing – before suffering a brutal change of fortune at Manchester Airport last November.
    Customs officers pulled Flores aside as he got off a flight from Thailand, even though he said he had nothing to declare.
    They found 64 bags of cannabis in his luggage, which included a Gucci rucksack.
    The packages weighed 37.02kg and were worth a whopping £960,000, Manchester Crown Court heard.

    Flores told the officers he feared he had “penile cancer” after Googling the symptoms – but could not afford medical insurance for tests or treatment.
    The dancer claimed a “friend” had offered him $3,000 (£2,353) to smuggle the drugs into the UK.
    Hugh Barton, mitigating, said: “There was no fall back position for him.
    “It was in that context he was approached by a ‘friend’, more somebody who took advantage of his state of apprehension.

    “They offered this as a means of raising an amount of cash quickly.”
    Phil Hall, prosecuting, said: “He was given instructions of what to do via a WhatsApp group on his phone that contained four other people.
    “He was told that someone would contact him on his arrival into the UK and collect the suitcases from him.
    “He was a drug mule, performing a limited function and had no influence on others.”
    The America’s Got Talent star was jailed for a year and six months after pleading guilty to the fraudulent evasion of the prohibition of importing cannabis.
    He will serve half the term in a Liverpool prison before he will be eligible for automatic deportation.
    JAILHOUSE ROCK
    The court heard that Flores works as a cleaner and cook behind bars – but has been bullied by other lags.
    His fellow inmates took a dislike to the Californian dancer for “not giving big enough portions of chips”.
    Barton said: “It’s difficult to envisage the kind of events that would lead him to Liverpool prison – it’s totally out of character.
    “He is desperate to return home to his family, and to his career.
    “He has not been served deportation pages, but it is his intention to return to the US as quickly as he can.”
    Sentencing, Recorder Katie Jones told Flores: “You were trusted with a large amount of cannabis.

    “I find you must have had some form of understanding of the scale of the operation.
    “You were willing to take on this role and fully understood what was involved and what was expected of you.” More

    The 63-year-old says he is proud to have overhauled his hectic lifestyle of working almost 20 hours a day running shows such as the X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent – and sticks to four strict rules to maintain his work-life balance.
    In an exclusive interview ahead of the filming of his new show America’s Got Talent Fantasy League, Cowell told how he prefers spending his new found spare time with with 10-year-old son Eric.
    “Actually, the first thing (I do) is take off Fridays. Don’t work on Fridays, because you don’t have to,” he told The Sun.
    “Eat dinner at five o ‘clock. Don’t take calls after 5.30. Don’t read emails after 5.30. Watch a happy movie. And stay outside.”

    He added: “I’m not kidding about the Fridays.
    “I don’t think anyone should be working five days a week. It’s just pointless.”
    Once a self-confessed workaholic, Cowell feels being a parent has been the key to switch more leisure time.
    “You’ve got to be absolutely focused, because they know when you’re faking it, and it’s kind of like, ‘Okay, what do you want to do today?’ ‘I want to drive 25 miles to buy a Pokemon card’,” he said.

    “I’m like, ‘Brilliant! We’ll do it.’ And you just kind of just got to go there, you know? And it really is worth it. “
    Cowell admits his work life balance has never been better, especially as his passion for creating stars through his TV series remains immense.
    He said he had enjoyed the challenge of the new format AGT show, which premieres in January 2024.
    For the first time, the judges will be competing alongside the contestants and will guide the acts throughout the competition with the hope of seeing an act from their team crowned the champion.
    The judges will fill their fantasy teams with 10 show stopping acts compiled from singers, dancers, ventriloquists, comedians, aerialists, magicians and more. The Golden Buzzer will be back sending acts straight to the finals, but each judge can also use their buzzer to take an act from another judges’ team.
    He said: “Do something you enjoy. It’s that.
    “I’ve really enjoyed doing this. I really, really have enjoyed it, because I’ve really enjoyed the mentoring aspect, more than anything else, like the acts.” More

    This year, Heidi, 50, surprised fans by dressing up as a peacock with several models behind her camouflaged as her colorful feathers.
    The America’s Got Talent judge completely camouflaged her fit figure by wearing a velvet blue body suit.
    As for makeup, she completely transformed her face to look like the wild animal – including a life-like beak and feathers on top of her head.
    In a few photos, Heidi stood on one of the model’s legs to reach maximum height with her feathers spread out wide to give herself a full peacock effect.

    The Project Runway star also threw confetti at the photographers.
    In other snaps, Heidi stood alone without her entourage of feathers and posed with her daughter, Leni Klum, German singer Bill Kaulitz as a unicorn, and Tom Kaulitz as an egg.
    Bill and Tom are known for their time in the band named Tokio Hotel.

    The TV star got help from her makeup artist Mike Marino as they transformed Heidi into an extraterrestrial creature while wearing a stunning blood-red dress.
    Captioned only with a black heart and ghost emojis, the Sports Illustrated cover model provided little indication of what the final product would be.
    Before ending the livestream, Heidi hinted that her costume would be something that “speaks another language.”
    EERIE MEAL
    To celebrate her favorite holiday, Heidi got breakfast in bed with a mind-boggling twist.
    In a video posted on Instagram, Heidi laid out in bed wearing a cheetah-print robe wishing her followers a Happy Halloween.
    She even had on a filter of a worm, which was a costume she wore at one of her previous parties.
    The supermodel tilted the camera down and fans got a glimpse at Heidi’s toned legs and her deliciously-frightening plate of food.

    Placed on the board were rolled-up meat, donuts that looked like vampires, bloody eyeballs, toy spiders, and even a fake severed finger.
    “Happy Halloween,” she wrote in her caption, “My favorite day of the year has finally arrived. Time to get ready cant wait for you to see …Have fun & stay safe.”
    In a second pic posted to her social media account, she gave a close-up of her tasty meal.
    LAST YEAR’S FESTIVITIES
    In 2022, Heidi showed up to her Halloween bash as a life-sized worm.
