Celebrity Apprentice gets second season

I didn't think he could do it, but the Donald did it. I've been a fan of The Apprentice since its first season, but I threw in the towel with last season's lackluster gimmicky Los Angeles version of this unreality show.

But I started watching again this season as the celebrity (although far from A List celebs) started playing the game donating winnings to their favorite charities. Although my favorite Gene Simmons (of KISS fame) committed Apprenticide before my very eyes, only Lost will keep me from watching it as it airs.

There's a Reuters article out and about stating that the celebrity version has been picked up for a second season by NBC. The second incarnation of the celebrity version is slated for next January. There's no word on any new seasons of the non-celebrity version of the show. After last year, that's good news.

Hey what a coincidence!, the cast of 'Celebrity Rehab' should be well rested and on their way to sobriety by then, so why not have Chyna, Bridgitte, Mary Carey, Jaimee, Rico, Jeff Conaway, Shifty and Danny Baldwin there with Donald Trump? Awesome, right?
