News from the Road: February 9, 2007

What's this we hear? More troubles on the AI set, it seems, as Richard Van Tol is moved from co-host to...co-judge? That's right! Having had it with Michelle Hinn's diva antics all season, Richard threatened to walk away from AI altogether! Luckily, fellow Dutchman Eelke Folmer was there to smooth things over and convince the producers to make Van Tol a judge! Don't quote us on this but was this a move to reduce or INCREASE on set tension as Host Michelle Hinn battles it out with new Judge Richard Van Tol? Van Tol's publicity manager was quoted as saying "slecht stukje." At press time we have not yet received the Dutch translation.

Representatives for Hinn were unable to be reached for comment.
