This season's lineup for Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice has finally been announced, and while the roster is always a bit...underwhelming, calling this group "celebrities" is really a stretch, even for the Donald. How many of these names do you recognize? more ›

Theresa Giudice, the embattled star of Real Housewives of New Jersey, who was still bankrupt last we checked, is reportedly hoping to make a little cash competing on the upcoming season of The Celebrity Apprentice. Perhaps no one told her that whatever money she wins using her, um, business acumen will go to charity? more ›

Well, now we know why The Donald didn't pursue his dream of leading the free world! Why would he want to take an annual salary of $400,000 that forces you to live in your office building and make hard decisions when you can curiously eat pizza in one of your many developments while pulling in $65 million a year from NBC for saying "you're fired?" more ›

As if we needed one more reason to hate those television screens in cabs: they're now airing spoilers! According to Reality Blurred, last night's Celebrity Apprentice ended with just two final contestants, but those final two had already been revealed in New York City's fleet of yellow cabs! (If you DVR'd the show and haven't watched it yet, consider this your spoiler alert for what's below.) more ›

The death of Osama bin Laden might not mean the end of Al Qaeda, but it may well mean the end of another threat to the American way of life: Donald Trump's fake presidential run. Between Saturday night's roasting at the White House Correspondents Dinner (which Trump didn't think was funny) and the slaying of bin Laden, suddenly the opinions and "politics" of the host of Celebrity Apprentice (a show which was disrupted on Sunday by Obama's announcement) seem less interesting. more ›

Donald Trump has been bragging about being bigger (financially, of course) than Mitt Romney and complaining that Laguardia like a third world airport—when not getting down to the bottom of President Obama's mysterious origins. But did you know that he's also been interviewing campaign managers and asking to set up meetings with evangelical leaders? OMG, 2012 is going to be yooooge. more ›

Donald "Worst Nightmare" Trump told the Wall Street Journal yesterday that he'd "probably" run as an independent if he doesn't get the nod from the GOP, declaring, “I hate what’s happening to the country." But, unlike Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney, Trump won't decide until this summer—see, even though he hates what's happening to this country, "I can’t run during the airing of [Celebrity Apprentice]. I’m not allowed to." Hmm, will the Republicans beg NBC to order another few seasons of the show to run back-to-back for a while? more ›

Donald Trump is a friend of the Birthers. He's also a Friend of Fox. Having friends in such high places is extremely advantageous to his potential 2012 presidential run. Nothing can stop this scrappy underdog's wholesome PR campaign now except for the cruel network hacks at NBC and FOX, who may have to suspend his appearances on Celebrity Sweatshop Apprentice and Fox & Friends if he chooses to run for president. more ›

Never one to shy away from controversy—especially controversy that reminds you he exists—Donald Trump is diving head first into the birther pool he's been wading in lately. And he's started off the week on friendly shores by calling into Fox & Friends to chat about Libya, and the protests in the UK and, of course, the important issue of whether or not the leader of the free world was born in the country he's been running for two years now. more ›

Stingy NYU kids on their way to the freshman 15 will be shocked when they walk into Famiglia on 8th Street and Broadway today and find Lil Jon and Sugar Ray at their service. Grub Street reports that D-list celebs from the Celebrity Apprentice 4 are at the equally D-list pizza chain to raise money for charity and plug the new TV show. (Papa John's must be heartbroken!) While NYU territory may be all riled up by the thought of Mark McGrath and Lil Jon serving up pepperoni slices, the Twitterverse seems to be where the party's at. more ›

Once upon a time, Donald Trump wanted to have Rachel Uchitel, the NYC nightclub "hostess" and Tiger Woods mistress, on Celebrity Apprentice. But now that she's appearing in the new season of Celebrity Rehab (she's the "Infamous Party Planner"), she's damaged goods. Trump told TMZ, "It's a terrible decision. We have zero interest in her now... Look at what 'Celebrity Apprentice' did for Piers Morgan. He's getting Larry King's job. She made a bad mistake. Celebrity Apprentice is a huge show and 'Celebrity Rehab' is not." Uchitel is allegedly being paid $500,000 for her rehab stint, so she can probably live with her "mistake." more ›

Justin Massler, the Ivana Trump enthusiast/cartoonist, was in court last week for a hearing about his alleged stalking of the socialite. While he joked that he really meant to stalk Trump's mother Ivana and that his next target would be Barbara Bush, Massler opened up to Courthouse Confessions' Steve Hirsch, explaining, "I didn't picture being here, celebrity stalking, at 28, you know?...Basically I was sending some twitters and emails dude. I just got charged for stalking. Some internet bullshit. I just wrote her, I said, 'I want to marry you. Celebrity Apprentice sucks'... Because I said her show sucks, that's probably why I got arrested. I feel like she's too uptight at this point. I can't be with a woman that anal." more ›

Last summer Special Olympics made waves when they came out in full force to protest Ben Stiller's , after a challenge this season where Joan Rivers created a detergent ad called "Jesse James and the Midgets." The chairman of the conference told reporters, "Historically, the word 'midget' has been used to objectify people, like in the circus." He would like to see the FCC ban the word and has written an open letter to NBC. The president of the Little People's Long Island chapter told Newsday, "It's not acceptable to call people the N-word, just as it's not acceptable to call people the M-word. The chosen term now is LP, or little person." Little people have not made it onto Wikipedia's LP disambiguation page, where they hope to one day be listed alongside Launchpad McQuack. more ›
