Newsgasm: More Apprentice Than You Can Shake An Ankle Bracelet At

  • The Donald resurfaces to plug his version of The Apprentice (affectionately known by me as "Apprentice Classic"). In a New York Times article, Trump claims that he hated season three's cast and therefore decided to cast the next installment all by himself. He even flew to Los Angeles to meet with prospective candidates in person. And no visit to the TVgasm offices? For shame, Donald! [New York Times]

  • And speaking of that new cast, the New York Post has all the info. This season will feature the first openly gay candidate (not to be confused with last season's not-so-openly gay Alex). [New York Post via Reality Blurred]

  • Good Apprentice news always comes in threes. Martha Stewart's losing the ol' ball and chain tonight, quite literally. [AP]

  • Viewership for the VMAs was down sharply this year. Also down sharply: R. Kelly's one-man-show Tony bid. [Hollywood Reporter via Yahoo]

  • Rummy to appear on Letterman next week. This will be awkward. [AP]

First post, sweet. I bet Trump will think of a stupid reason to fire the gay guy/girl. It took three years for him to hire a girl.

Y'know, B-Side, I'm glad you mentioned that R. Kelly thing.

It was so surreal and weird I kept watching to make sure it was real. This guy pissed on a 13 year old for sexual pleasure and he was given a 7 minute monologue/song thing on the VMA's? And it was so horribly bad too.

I still don't get it. In other news, perhaps viewership was down because the network that airs the "Video Music Awards" doesn't actually show any videos or play any music anymore.

MTV sucks.

Anyone get a un/pw for NBC's press release website? If so, we can view full pics of the new candidate freaks.

Didn't like season 3's cast, huh? Yeah they were a bunch of freaks(especially compared to season 1&2), but that is what kept it entertaining.
