LOS ANGELES – Gabrielle Union and NBC said Tuesday that they have settled their differences in their dispute over her firing as a judge on “America's Got Talent,” which she said was retaliation for her complaints that the show tolerated racism on the set. “We’ve reached an amicable resolution," Union and the network said in a joint statement. "NBC Entertainment appreciates the important concerns raised by Gabrielle Union and remains committed to ensuring an inclusive and supportive working environment where people of all backgrounds are treated with respect.”Both sides declined further comment, and would not give further details. Variety reported soon after that Union, who is Black, believed she was fired because she had asked NBC and the show’s producers to respond to an environment that tolerated racist jokes and remarks from judges and producers. NBC said the investigation "found an overarching culture of diversity on the show.”___Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton.

Julianne Hough has a new mission in life. The 31-year-old performer got the opportunity to work with Dolly Parton on the new Netflix series, Dolly Parton's Heartstrings, playing Jolene in the show. "We couldn't find my earrings, and so Dolly lent me her earrings for the night," Hough tells ET, flashing her chandelier sparklers. Because of this favor, Hough feels indebted to the country star, even offering to teach her to dance after Parton noted she's not a dancer.

Hough hit the stage to debut her song "Transform" -- her first new music in nearly 10 years -- with a high-energy performance alongside the celebrated acrobatic dance crew V. Unbeatable. After starting the number alone on stage, she was soon accompanied by the epic acrobats, and Hough showed off her dance skills by joining them in a new routine. Hough spoke with ET's Denny Directo after Tuesday's finals, and opened up about the big performance she had planned for the finale. For more on the America's Got Talent finals, check out the video below.

Julianne Hough may be very maternal and nurturing on America's Got Talent, but that doesn't mean she's ready to have a baby quite yet. "I'm not right now, no, but, you know, that's definitely been a part of my future in the past. "I mean, we're living in a different time now where that was an old paradigm of what is expected," she said. ET spoke with Hough in 2018, where she was more forthright in her desire to start a family with Laich someday, even sharing the number of children she's wanted in the past. "I'd probably want to start our family in the next 10 years," Hough revealed.

Only five acts in total were able to forward to the finals, and it was an exclusive group that was revealed over a surprising, tense night of eliminations and results. Ultimately, Lee was voted forward and the heartwarming star could hardly contain his excitement as he stood onstage with his loving mom and brother. While it was a tough choice for all four judges, Hough and Union voted for the Youth Choir, while Mandel wanted to make Finley's dream come true. The second round of the America's Got Talent semifinals kick off Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

America's Got Talent kicked off the first night of their semifinals and things got steamy early on when the Messoudi Brothers took to the stage for a sexy Magic Mike-inspired performance that saw Julianne Hough get in on the act. Hough told ET's Denny Directo backstage after Tuesday's show. For Hough, getting to be part of the act is what sets AGT apart for her as a judge. "I said something about Magic Mike last week and they listened," she said, laughing. "Kodi Lee, he just transcends humanity," Hough told ET.

I think that that comment sparked an amazing resurgence and passion for dancers to have a voice," Hough shared. However, for Hough, she doesn't think the remark was made with disdain, but was simply a comment made out of ignorance on the topic. "I love Lara and I don't think it was a malicious thing she intended to do," Hough shared. The former Dancing With the Stars pro also opened up on why she felt Spencer's remark cut so deeply among so many people in the dance community.

While she is proud of her BTS fandom, the AGT judges are clearly big fans of hers. "You aren't just in a different league tonight, you're on a different planet from everyone else," Simon Cowell said of the mind-blowing number, adding "This is one of those times I'm going to remember."
