The Most Epic Golden Buzzer Magic Performance Ever Seen on AGT 2024 – Judges Are Left Speechless!
Simon Cowell Takes on New Judge Role to Review Pizza as Domino’s ‘Quality Captain’
“Domino’s is a definite yes from me,” the ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge said in a press release about the partnership
Simon Cowell has taken on his tastiest judging role yet.
The long-time talent show judge brings his critical eye to Domino’s in the chain’s newest batch of commercials.
The two advertising spots are full of language he used throughout his years as a judge on bothThe X Factor and American Idol. In the commercials, the America’s Got Talent judge emphasizes his desire for perfection as one of the pizza chain’s “quality captains.”
“At Domino’s, our stores now have quality captains, those who demand perfection,” a voiceover says at the start of one of the clips.

Cowell challenges three employees to “impress” him. Their first pizzas do not do the trick.
“Terrible, pathetic, I hate it,” he tells them.
But, some pies actually do please the British TV personality.
“I don’t have to think on this one,” Cowell tells the group of employees, anxiously holding hands like contestants on American Idol. “It’s a yes.”
At the end, one customer is surprised by the familiar face behind the register.
“Guess who works at Domino’s?” the customer says on the phone after Cowell hands her a pizza.
The next 30-second spot is similar and emphasizes the importance of topping placement.
“Topping distribution: horrible,” Cowell tells one employee at the opening of the video.
“That’s a million percent no,” he tells another employee, who replies, “Noted.”
Just like the other spot, the employees impress Cowell by the end of his review run.
“It’s a definite yes,” he says with a smile.

The collaboration was an obvious choice for the pizza chain. Domino’s Senior Vice President Kate Trumbull said Cowell “demands excellence” on and off stage – and Cowell agrees.
“Domino’s demands greatness,” he said in a statement. “They know exactly what it means to deliver the perfect pizza. Domino’s is a definite yes from me.”

Billionaire Ken Griffin is raising the bar on luxury living with plans to build the world’s most expensive home in Palm Beach, Florida.
Known for his financial acumen as the founder and chief executive officer of hedge fund Citadel, Griffin is a familiar face in this elite coastal enclave.
Griffin has acquired more than 20 acres of prime real estate in a town famous for its wealth and extravagance.
But he’s not stopping there.
The mogul has demolished the existing structures on the property, planning to spend an eye-watering US$150 million to US$400 million to construct a home estimated to be worth US$1 billion upon completion, according to the New York Post.
This ambition outshines even Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s famed residence, in terms of acreage.
The estate, positioned a mere quarter mile south of Mar-a-Lago on the stretch known as “Billionaires’ Row,” will sit on 27 acres of beachfront property that Griffin has amassed over the years.
The house alone will cover 4645sq m, including a service basement, and will feature contemporary architecture and lavish amenities.
Initial plans suggest a grand swimming pool stretching from the residence to a sprawling lawn, providing a tranquil, picture-perfect setting.
Although the project’s exact cost remains undisclosed, Griffin has allocated hundreds of millions for its construction.
His spokesperson, Zia Ahmed, attributes the soaring property values in South Florida to the region’s pro-growth and pro-business policies.
“Palm Beach real estate is among the most valuable in the world,” she told the New York Post.
The colossal estate will initially serve as a residence for Griffin’s mother, Catherine Gratz Griffin, before ultimately becoming Griffin’s retirement home.
His decade-long, US$450 million investment in acquiring and preparing the land underscores his long-term commitment to this monumental project.
Renderings of the property reveal opulent designs that include intricately landscaped gardens and a caretaker’s cottage.
Large windows framing the Atlantic Ocean give a glimpse into the life of unparalleled luxury that awaits.

This venture marks a milestone not only in Griffin’s real estate endeavours but also sets a new benchmark for high-end properties globally.
Construction is already underway, and the world watches with bated breath as Griffin’s billion-dollar vision comes to life.
