Danny told you last week that
Rod Blagojevich might be in the cast of the new
Celebrity Apprentice season. That's still up in the air because of his legal woes, but
The NY Post does have the entire
list of the new celebs even if NBC hasn't released it yet.
- Sharon Osbourne
- Bret Michaels
- Cyndi Lauper
- Carol Leifer
- Bill Goldberg
- Daryl Strawberry
- Curtis Stone
- Summer Sanders
- Sinbad
- Holly Robinson Peete
- Maria Canellis
Leifer is a stand-up comic and a writer for
Seinfeld. I was going to watch this just for her and then decided...no.

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?

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.

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.

Filed under: Ratings, Reality-Free, Kings
The response for NBC's
Kings has been a good one. The show has garnered good praise from both the TV critics' shires and their sovereign nation of loyal readers minus
the ones who still work at newspapers since they technically don't have any.
If only critics' words could directly affect the world in which we live simply by committing ink to paper. Just think of the possibilities. Barack Obama would reopen Guantanamo Bay long enough to try Rob Schneider as a war criminal.
Family Guy would have only lasted one episode instead of longer than most fossil remains.
Deadwood would return to the air as a Saturday morning cartoon show called
The $*&#ing Amalgamated Adventures of That Unnecessarily Profane #*$&ing #(#(*sucker Al #*($ing Swearengen.
More importantly,
Kings would have done a hell of a lot better in its time slot.
