Donald Trump is back with Season 12 of Celebrity Apprentice and he's outdone himself. This cast looks very promising (with their charities they are playing for):

Former American Idol Clay Aiken, The National Inclusion Project
Retired race car driver Michael Andretti, Racing for Cancer
Talk show host Adam Carolla, Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters
Actor/bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, Muscular Dystrophy Association
Actor/TV personality Arsenio Hall, Magic Johnson Foundation
Magician/TV personality Penn Jillette, Opportunity Village
Former Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider, March of Dimes/Bikers for Babies
Star Trek’s George Takei, Japanese American National Museum
American Chopper’s Paul Teutul Sr., Make-A-Wish Foundation
 
Actress Tia Carrere, After-School All-Stars
Singer Debbie Gibson, Children International
Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice, The NephCure Foundation
Growing Up Gotti’s Victoria Gotti, Association to Benefit Children
Comedian Lisa Lampanelli, Gay Men’s Health Crisis
Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza, Latino Commission on AIDS
Singer/actress/model Aubrey O’Day, Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN)
Model/actress Cheryl Tiegs, The Farrah Fawcett Foundation
Model/actress Patricia Velasquez, Wayuu Taya Foundation

I am loving that George Takei will be on. LOVE him as well as Lisa Lampanelli. You know she is not going to take anyone's sh*t and she will make the boys (and girls) cry. 

And don't underestimate Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza. She was once kidnapped in Venezuela and the trauma of it all taught her to be able to deal with immense pressure.

The drama begins on February 12 at 9 p.m. EST. Will you be watching?

Bill Maher appeared on David Letterman last night and of course the conversation turned political and more specifically on Donald Trump running for President. Bill Maher’s take on that?:

“I don’t know why we are taking him so seriously,” Maher said of Trump. “Why are we listening to this curiosity from the 80s?” “It’s like opening up the paper and finding out John Wayne Bobbitt’s severed penis is the ambassador to France.”

Now that is funny! Watch the video as he and David Letterman wager on whether Donald Trump will actually run. I give it until noon hour before Donald Trump insults Bill Maher.

Another non-fan of Celebrity Apprentice’s Donald Trump has spoken up about his ‘tactics’ regarding his Presidential bid and the hunt for President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. You may have heard of him? Robert DeNiro?

The legend that is Robert DeNiro was interviewed by Brian Williams’ during the Tribeca Film Festival Saturday and shared his thoughts without naming names:

“I won’t mention any of the certain people on the news in the last couple weeks,” De Niro said, after Williams mentioned how far apart the country has become politically. “But what are we doing? This is crazy. They’re making statements about people that they don’t even back up. Go get the facts before you start saying things about people.”

Williams and Trump both have shows on NBC which Williams asked DeNiro if perhaps it’s someone who shares networks, obviously alluding to Trump. The 67 year old actor went on to say:

“It’s like a big hustle. It’s like being a car salesman,” answered De Niro. “Don’t go out there and say things unless you can back them up. How dare you? That’s awful to do. To just go out there and speak and say these terrible things?”

Not being one to sit quietly by while someone insults him, Trump of course had to hurl his own insults:

“I like his acting, but in terms of when I watch him doing interviews and various other things, we’re not dealing with Albert Einstein,” Trump told Fox & Friends Monday. “He can say what he wants, but the fact is that this guy has not revealed his birth certificate, a lot of people agree with me.” According to Fox News, Trump went on to say the actor is “not the brightest bulb on the planet.”

Are you talking to me? DeNiro may not be Albert Einstein (nor would he ever claim to be), but he doesn’t have fish lips or really bad hair either. I’ll take famous combovers for $500 Alex.

Head on over to Movieline for the entire interview.

Celebrity Apprentice villain, Richard Hatch has returned to his second home, prison.  The current season of the show has only aired two episodes, and he survived both of those.  So there is no telling if he will actually be in the finale.  And if he is, he will be in prison for the LIVE show.

The Celebrity Apprentice Season 4 Cast Has Been Leaked

But, it looks like Donald Trump might just be Hatch’s hero.

“It sounds like a very tough predicament. I may ask him if there’s anything I can do … I may get involved and ask him what the hell is going on,” Trump told People.   “If he makes it to the finals — and I’m not saying he is — I’m sure we can get him time off for good behavior.  [He] wasn’t loved on set because it’s a competition but I will say he was respected,” so paying anything Hatch still owes to the IRS is “something I’d think about. He’s been a great character on the show.”

Well, if you want to look at him that way cool.  But I don’t see Hatch as a character.  I could use many choice words, but I will refrain.  I do know that he is good for ratings and that means money.  So yeah,  it makes sense.

NBC and The Donald (Trump) are gearing up for another season of The Celebrity Apprentice.  The upcoming installment will be the fourth.  The current season of the ‘regular’ Apprentice is leaving much to be desired and Trump will be more than ready for a comeback when this concludes.

Donald Trump Justifies Tiger Woods’ Behaviour

There is of course a casting list being leaked on the internet.  What’s new, right?  Trump always tries to act all pissed off when his cast gets leaked, but I think he’s the one pushing behind the scenes to have it leaked.  More hype, right?

So far it’s looking like a very interesting, mixed up cast.  Take a gander at the list below and see if you are at all interested in watching Donald Trump fire these celebs: (more…)

Donald Trump feels for Tiger Woods and tells the New York Daily News:

“Tiger’s a friend of mine. I really like him a lot,”"I really think that there’s tremendous pressure you wouldn’t understand from the world of golf”

So let’s see if I understand Donald Trump’s statement:  the pressure to get a ball in a hole makes a man want to dip his club in anything and everything that is willing to let him?  Gotcha.

Considering Donald said this at the premiere of his show Donald J. Trump’s Fabulous World of Golf, I wonder if his wife is concerned about this justification for being a serial cheater because golf is such a pressure cooker? If that were my husband spewing that kind of stupidity, he would burst into flames with the look I would be lasering his way.

I think being a mother is probably the most difficult job in the world (and no, I’m not a mother unless you take into account the time some guy I cut off in traffic referred to me as one).  Perhaps mothers around the world should start sucuumbing to the pressures and have serial affairs? Isn’t that the same stupid logic?

And he weighs in on Jesse James too, who as you may or may not know appeared on a season of Donald’s Celebrity Apprentice:

“I also know Jesse James very well,”"He’s a tough guy and a smart guy.”"I always wondered why he didn’t bring Sandra on the show. I guess now we know.”

Hey, I know! Maybe the pressure to make motorcycles made him seek out tattooed nazi loving hobags?

All the ladies of ‘Nine’ at last night’s New York premiere looked gorgeous, but I have to say Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson looks like a Grecian Goddess.  Here she is posing with co-star Kate Hudson and Kate’s mother Goldie Hawn.  Goldie Hawn also looks incredible.

This movie, which opens December 25, is getting so much hype and this premiere was no less star-studded:

• Tony Bennett
• Dame Judi Dench
• Nicole Kidman
• Daniel Day Lewis
• Penelope Cruz
• Marion Cotillard
• Naomi Watts
• Tobey Maguire
• Madonna
• Lourdes Leon
• Ashley Olsen
• Mary-Kate Olsen
• Kimora Lee Simmons
• Djimon Honsou
• Emmanuelle Chriqui
• Victor Garber
• Josh Duhamel
• Zoe Kravitz
• Rachel Roy
• Donald Trump
• Rob Marshall
• Tommy Tune
• Jessica Seinfeld
• Cathy Moriarty

Kate Hudson talked about what it was like to work with legend Sophia Loren:

“With Sophie Loren it was a whole other ball game,” She’s a living legend. She was the Ma in the movie and she was just like that on set too, she took care of everyone. She was always making sure we were all OK.”

And if you wondered how that many women got along in one room:

“There was a lot of oestrogen in one room. It was fun, I liked it. We had a two month rehearsal process. We shot two scenes right at the beginning where we were all together, the overture and finale, so we spent quite a bit of time together. It took two weeks to rehearse. It was definitely very girly for everyone. We’ve all known each other and seen each other around before, but to really work with people you admire, it was just great.“

Lots of pictures after the break
