It's an exciting time to be a B-, ,C- or D-List celebrity. NBC has just renewed the Celebrity Apprentice for another season set for next spring. Ratings have been pretty good for the current run, airing on Sundays with such A-List celebrities as Khloe Kardashian, Tom Green and the Dice Man. It's surprisingly entertaining television, and it's fun seeing Donald Trump interacting with these big names. Of course what it really is is just more of that celebreality voyeurism crap on which VH1 built an empire.

Yeah, I know, that headline seems like it doesn't even make any sense. I could have written something in Klingon or just strung other words together and it would make just as much sense: "Fight crayons with Patrick Dempsey on Labor Day," or something similar.

If you're wondering what Gary Coleman is up to these days, besides being secretly married or selling his pants on eBay, here's the scoop: he's hosting trivia games at NowYouKnowBetter.com, which is from the folks who bring us I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! (which makes me wonder why it's not called NowYouKnowButter, not Better). The games start today at 4pm Eastern, and there's a new game every 10 or 15 minutes or so.

I don't know if the game involves butter and butter substitute trivia or other kinds of trivia, but if you're not into the game you can also get recipes and coupons at the site.

At the age of 40, it looks like Gary Coleman finally tied the knot. The 4-foot-8 actor married 5-foot-7, 22-year-old Shannon Price on a Nevada mountaintop in a private ceremony. The couple met on the set of the movie "Church Ball".

Strangely enough, the couple got married all the way back in August. Price told Inside Edition that the reason for their secrecy was because "I just want my own identity as well because I don't want to be known as Gary Coleman's wife."

Hey, Brigitte here with TV Squad Daily. I'll be covering the TV stories I find interesting each day, Monday through Friday, in this video blog.

• Oops! Rumor is, Larry Birkhead got all excited to be named one of the year's most fascinating people.
  
• Gary Coleman couldn't even sell his car on Ebay.
  
• Someone calling Tyra Banks fat? Didn't we just go through this? Ugh.

As reported last week, production on new episodes of Family Guy didn't stop when it's creator Seth MacFarlane, who also voices the three main male characters Peter, Stewie and Brian, stopped working to support the Writers Guild of America strike, and refused to come back to work. While MacFarlane officially gave his blessing for the studio to continue production of the series without him, according to EW.com he expressed that he hoped they wouldn't, and that doing so would be damaging to his relationship with the network, adding that "it would just be a colossal dick move if they did."

The last pre-strike produced episode aired last Sunday which left the studio with the option to continue without MacFarlane and the writing staff, or go immediately into reruns. With November Sweeps upon us and most of their live action compatriots being forced into repeats soon, network brass decided that the hopes of one creator; who you might recall they've already fired once so they could certainly do it again; paled in comparison to the hopes and dreams of beating Desperate Housewives during sweeps month and being able to jack up ad rates to Super Bowl levels (I know these are the kinds of things TV Execs dream of because I watch 30 Rock). And so, tonight will mark the premiere of the first episode ever completed without its creator's blessing.

Gary, Gary, Gary. What are we going to do with you? Your television brother, Todd Bridges, has managed to keep himself out of trouble (for now, that is) so why can't you?

Did you really have to get into a heated dispute with your 'female companion' in a parked car in the middle of Provo, Utah? Maybe if you had driven out into one of the more desolate parts of the state passers-by wouldn't have called the authorities. Then, you wouldn't have been charged with disorderly conduct. Now, you'll have to pay a $750 fine and spend up to three months in jail.

Come on, Gary! You're 39-years-old now. Isn't it time to stop acting out? Maybe it's time you moved away from the spotlight, just as former child starts like Brittney, Lindsay, and the Olsen Twins have done. I mean, you barely hear anything about them anymore!
