It’s shaping into a bullish week for the humble Trump family. NBC is expected to soon announce they’re renewing Donald’s The Apprentice despite all indications (like a public Trump tantrum) that the declining show had been canceled. Now it’s Ivanka’s turn.

The Tabloid Baby staff took a field trip to Culver City this evening to visit one of the dozen 7-11 convenience stores that have been transformed into Kwik-E-Marts to promote The Simpsons Movie.

We’re less than 50 hours away from the premiere of Big Brother 8, and should mention that USA Today gave TVgasm a nice plug today by crediting us with coining a word that’s become part of the English lexicon.
