Q: I can’t figure out what the winners of Celebrity Apprentice – Piers Morgan, Joan Rivers, Bret Michaels – all have in common. What does it take to win “Celebrity Apprentice?”
Trump: “Well, aside from intelligence you have to have stamina. A lot of people just can’t do it including many athletes. But then a 76-year-old woman like Joan Rivers can do it. She never got tired.”
Q: Spill the dirt on this season’s cast; who shocked you?
Trump: “We just finished taping so I can’t give anything away, but I think this is the best cast we’ve ever had. Gary Busey is definitely different. He is just an amazing character. You know, I think people might be surprised but La Toya Jackson is very smart and cunning. But it’s NeNe Leakes [Real Housewives of Atlanta] and Star Jones that really fight. I mean they really battle it out. They make Omarosa look like a kind person.”
We can’t say for sure that they went together. Do you remember Dawn? She was best known for her roles on sitcoms such as A Different World and in the first season of Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.
You see we were reading this blog and blogger seemed less than pleased….

Paula Abdul is back on TV and I think we’re supposed to be excited about that. Her new show Live To Dance is yet another dance competition and somehow I don’t think we’re supposed to be excited about that. Live To Dance lifts elements from So You Think You Can Dance, like the dancing, and America’s Got Talent, like the fact that anybody of any age can compete, whilst adding small nonsensical twists, like the auditions taking place in a moveable dome or the fact the judges don’t confer before casting their vote… which are both game changing innovations.
The second episode of Paula Abdul’s “Live To Dance” sank 25 percent from its premiere on Tuesday night, finishing the 8 p.m. hour with a 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
We can’t judge because we have not seen it yet but we were silently rooting for her and she has our boy Travis Payne. We hope it does not go south for her!
TV – Executors of Michael Jackson’s estate welcomed Friday a TV channel’s decision not to air a TV program re-enacting the pop icon’s autopsy, which it called exploitative and in shockingly bad taste.
But the King of Pop’s executors said it hoped the show, which the Discovery Channel agreed to postpone “indefinitely” citing legal reasons, would never appear on screen.
“The co-executors of the estate of Michael Jackson are pleased that Discovery Channel made the correct decision in choosing to cancel this exploitative program,” said the co-executors John Branca and John McClain.
The pair were especially angered by a European promotional advertisement for the program that shows Jackson’s trademark sequined glove emerging from beneath a coroner’s white draping sheet.
Michael Jackson fans have launched a petition in a bid to stop the broadcast of a gruesome TV show featuring a re-enactment of the late star’s autopsy.
The Discovery Channel’s controversial program Michael Jackson’s Autopsy is said to be based on the official coroner’s report and court documents taken after the star’s tragic passing back in 2009.
The show will follow a pathologist as he performs a full autopsy on a synthetic cadaver and exposes the “medical myths that surrounded Jackson throughout his troubled life – his drug addiction, his vitiligo and other disorders.”
And the plans have infuriated the Thriller hitmaker’s loyal fans, who have launched a petition in a bid to stop the show from airing.
Members of two Jackson campaign groups, MJ Justice Project and MJ Children, have united to urge other devotees to contact bosses at the Discovery Channel to voice their displeasure about the show.
The petition states, “We ask the directors of the Discovery Channel programming to proceed with the outright cancellation of this indecent documentary.”
THE PETITION – PLEASE SIGN
Discovery Channel will broadcast 13 January 2011 a documentary on events surrounding the death of the singer, Michael Jackson.
Based on the authopsy’s report and court documents, the film will show a reproduction of the body of the star in every detail. The documentary aims to follow a doctor who will dissect the body and reveal the true reasons for his death by spreading rumors about his addiction or his skin condition.
Like any other human being on this earth, Michael Jackson is entitled to a minimum of decency and respect. Over the months, media accumulate abuse and act as low as before.
Oprah’s first love was none other than Jackie Jackson of the Jackson 5. “Everybody was going nuts over little Michael, but being a little older, it was his big brother, Jackie, who made my heart go pitter, pitter, pitter-patter,” she says. “That was my goal—to marry Jackie Jackson.”
Sadly, their love was not meant to be. Jackie married in 1974. “I was crushed,” Oprah says. “Hey, a girl could dream.”
Still, young Oprah never could have imagined her dream date would come knocking 43 years later. Read more
A special Oprah show has been recorded which is to air on December 6th. Oprah Winfrey will be talking about Michael and the upcoming album Michael. Today, Teddy Riley confirmed that he has attended the show.
On Twitter Teddy informed the MJ fans:
“I’m sorry yall I got a call from my publicist I can’t talk about the show til after it airs. Yall know I got a whole mouth fall. Yep Yep!!! Ok this is all I can say it will air on Dec 6th. I wish I can talk to yall but I can’t…MJ fans much love to all of you.”
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the US chat show queen, Katherine Jackson said it was the “worst day of my life.”
She said: “My heart just dropped. They called me and said come to the hospital Michael’s in hospital.
“They made the doctor tell me. We stayed there a long time before he came in to tell us, but I guess he didn’t want to either. But the doctor had to tell us. Dr Murray had to tell us.
“He was talking and it took him so long and I said ‘Well, what happened?’ I said ‘Did he make it, how is he?’ And he said ‘He’s gone.’ That’s all I remember.”
Jackson died in June 2009. Dr Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly improperly administering a mixture of sedatives, including the anaesthetic propofol, in an attempt to get the singer, a chronic insomniac, to sleep. He has pleaded not guilty.
