“America’s Got Talent” judge Heidi Klum was miffed with her co-judge Sofía Vergara after she failed to cast Klum in her Netflix miniseries “Griselda.” “I was upset because I was like, ‘Why couldn’t I have been one of your cousins?’ I could have been a cousin that doesn’t speak, because obviously I don’t speak Spanish,” Klum, 50, told “Entertainment Tonight” on Tuesday.The women came together to promote Season 19 of “AGT” on the red carpet. “But I could have just been, you know, not speaking!
