If you are a fan of
The Celebrity Apprentice, you should have watched Sunday's two-hour episode by now and know that Joan Rivers and Annie Duke will face off in the ultimate task.
On April 23, I asked TV Squad readers to vote in an
Annie Vs Joan poll. The question was simple "Who should win the war?" At the time I write this line, 43.3% voted for Joan, 35.4% said Annie, while 21.1% opted for Trump to fire them both. That means 21.1% of you are disappointed this week, as Trump decided to make Joan and Annie the two finalists.
No matter if you like or hate Annie and/or Joan, you have to admit that out of the four contestants that were left at the beginning of the episode, those two will offer the most entertaining finale. Now that we know it's officially Joan Vs. Annie, who do you think should be hired?

I admit it, I've been watching
The Celebrity Apprentice and I have been entertained by every minute of it. Yes, it doesn't take much to amuse me on Sunday nights, as you can see, but those of you who do watch the show must agree that this season's crop brings the drama!
The cast may not include
Omarosa and Piers,
last season's winner, but
Dennis Rodman, Clint Black, Annie Duke, Joan and Melissa Rivers stepped up to the drama plate.
Warning! If you haven't watched last night's episode yet, stop reading this post now and come back once you've watched it because I know you'll want some place to discuss the boardroom drama.

I'll admit that
The Celebrity Apprentice is a guilty pleasure of mine. Why? Two words: Nutty celebrities! Just like any other reality show, seeing people get along and be friends just doesn't cut it. There needs to be an agitator, someone who's going to make everyone roll their eyes and bitch and moan that they have to work or live with such a loose cannon/nutjob/free spirit. The fact that those people are celebrities is a plus in my book.
It amazes me that these reality shows consistently cut their most interesting players because everyone is annoyed by them. And this year's
Celeb Apprentice just committed that cardinal sin.

Yesterday, NBC
revealed the cast for the second edition of
Celebrity Apprentice, an announcement that
had been made in October but somehow kept under wraps by the press until now. How did that happen? Well, my guess is that the press got a look at the names of the "celebrities" on the list and determined that they weren't leak-worthy.
I mean, really ... Dennis Rodman? Dice Clay? Tom Green? Joan and Melissa Rivers? A Kardashian sister that isn't Kim? No wonder why the only people who leaked the news were Letterman and Conan; they cast is barely even worthy of late-night monologue scorn.

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off in the U.K. last
night with 11 housemates, ten of whom are genuine celebrities (if there can be such a thing) and one of whom is not.
U.S. readers will be familiar with basketball star Dennis Rodman and former
Baywatch babe Traci
Bingham, and possibly the Member of Parliament George Galloway, who took on the U.S. Senate over allegations he
accepted payments from Saddam Hussein.
Also included are glamour model Jodie Marsh, Maggot from rap send-up
group Goldie Lookin' Chain, lead singer Samuel Preston from The Ordinary Boys, actress Rula Lenska, disgraced
television personality Michael Barrymore, Faria Alam (who had an affair with England soccer coach Sven-Goran Eriksson)
and the rather bizarre-looking Pete Burns, formerly of the pop act Dead or Alive.
The major twist this year
is with the 11th housemate, called Chantelle, who must convince the others she is in a band called Kandyfloss, with a
recent hit entitled 'I Want It Right Now'.
