Celebrity Apprentice, Week 7

I missed the first hour of Celebrity Apprentice the other night because we were squeezing in a Redbox movie (Paranormal Activity 3) before it had to go back.

At first I was a little bummed that we missed Regis Philbin but then I found out that Debbie Gibson was fired & disappointment turned to relief. I had taken to calling her Debbie GoAwayson anyways. 

Ummm, so...hairdo aside, what the heck is wrong with Donald Trump?


The orange man had E-V-E-R-Y (evvverrreee) reason to fire Lou Ferrigno right in the palm of his hand and instead he fired Dee Snider. I don’t understand. I mean, so we didn’t see Mister Twister or whatever his name is doing anything exactly spectacular but at least nobody had to constantly spoon-feed his ego. Lou, on the other hand, is like The Incredible Baby. I'm still shaking my head. Big mistake, Donald. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now…

Ok, I don’t really have to go shopping. I just like using movie lines from Pretty Woman.

On the upside, Aubrey finally got put in her place, huh?

 High-five Arsenio Hall! Err’body punch the air and say wooot-woooot!

Normally I’m not a big fan of the whole yelling in someone’s face thing, but that Aubrey has no one to blame except herself. Even when she turned to Teresa Giudice for support she tried to weasel in a “haven’t I taught you so much”… that was nuts! And Teresa, oh Teresa. I know she claims to be “the opposite of slow” but I’m not certain she is using the word “opposite” correctly.  

By the way - Aubrey walking off? She comes back. According to Google she "went to church" to escape the people who knocked her off her pedestal negativity. The brat gave herself a time-out, whoopdy-doo.

Clay continues to impress me.

Penn seems to have retreated from the game ever since Clay verbally spanked him but I hope he finds his way back. He uses big words and I love me some big-word talkin’ folks.

Dayana needs to do something MORE.

Lisa needs to enroll in anger management.

And again, I am at a loss as to who else is on the show….

Celebrity Apprentice Week What?

Although I’ve been watching this season’s Celebrity Apprentice faithfully, what week we are in totally escapes me. If I had to guess I’d say we are half way through THE WORST SEASON OF FEMALE CELEBS EVER.

This show is going to Cancellation City in a handbasket. It blows that much.

At the start, I had no idea who Aubrey O’Day even was. Now I do. She’s the one with big red hair and a big brain. I love how smart she really is. Yeah yeah, she’s a bit of a self-horn-tooter and I’m not a fan of her alliance with Lisa Lampanelli, but she sure does give it her all.

Speaking of Lisa, I thought I would enjoy her so much more than I do. As it turns out, I think she needs a round of anger management. Such a bully! 

And together? She and Aubrey have GOT TO STOP saying how all the idea’s are theirs – given their track record, that is no gold star accomplishment.

For the most part, I remain a fan of Penn. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the little David & Goliath moment when Clay Aiken put him in his place for being over the top bossy, but still. He’s got good idea’s. I think he and Aubrey should pair up.

Did you hear Clay sing on last night’s episode? OH MY LANTA – where do I sign up to be a Claymate??

Arsenio & Teresa are playing under the radar – time to see them both come alive & get as feisty as we all know they are capable of.

Who else is on the show? Oh yes....

Dee Snider - He’s pretty decent.

Paul Something – eh, fire him already.

Lou “They Don’t Utilize Me So I Cry A lot But Look At My Big Muscles” Ferrigno– time’s up dude, you gotta follow Paul out the door.

Dayana – she may actually have what it takes to trump (haha, Trump!) Aubrey but she has got to {for the love of sparkly tiara's everywhere!!!} SPEAK UP more...like say, oh, BEFORE the boardroom.

Debbie Gibson – should have been fired for the horrifying lip-syncing of her overly synthesized song. And for giving Aub's this fake hug. Maybe she will be the one to walk out next week? One can only hope…

This week's task was to throw a party for Crystal Light's new line of "mocktails" - Peach Bellini & Pomtini. The ladies threw a beautifully polished & posh looking party compared to the mens rough around the edges/sand on the floor beach party - and yet those chicks still lost. Why? Because Debbie Gibson wrote a song that she lip synced to and Clay Aiken bolted out Under The Boardwalk sans instruments & EVERYONE sang along - even me at home. Ok maybe that's not the sole reason, but it's my reason. {To think I was once a Debbie Gibson fan ~ it was the 80's and there was no accounting for taste.} 

Remember when The Donald used to play back video's of what the teams had done so the losing team could see what the winning team did? Why doesn't he do that anymore? Can someone ask him please & get back to me on that?

"Magic" Self Binding Baby Blanket

OR as I like to call my version: 

Magic Mess!

I'm a rookie who should probably stick to doing things with written instructions complete with lots (and lots) of still photo's for every step along the way. That way I would have slimmer chances of ending up with things like this. It's ok, you don't have to pretend to not notice that I failed to measure all 4 sides equally ~ despite having all the necessary tools to do so.

I started out on the right track...

But what can I say? It's never a far leap for me to land in Oopsville.

Here's the video tutorial I attempted to follow ~ PLEASE NOTE: this young lady WONDERFUL can not be blamed for my Magic Mess!!



See? She is terrific! I love the ease in her approach. Ah well, maybe I will do better next time. After all, "if at first you don't succeed" and all that jazz.

Now for my TMZ-style rant on the birth of the newest Celeb-U-Bebe: Blue Ivy Carter ~ because, you know, my opinion matters. ;)


Beyonce & Jay-Z reportedly paid $1.3 MILLION dollars to secure the entire floor of the hospital where she gave birth to their new baby girl. 


I admire the talent that these two share. I also admire their commitment to keeping their private life exactly that: PRIVATE. Furthermore, I'm sure $1.3m will come in handy for the hospital. (Because, you know, hospitals don't charge enough as it is.)


HOWEVER, I have one question.


What the hell? 


A WHOLE floor Beyonce, really? 


Ok, that's two questions. 


But for the love of Put A Ring On It, get real! For that kind of money, why not lease a private birthing center? Set up labor & delivery at home? Or in a castle, with security, and a moat stocked with alligators hungry for paparazzi.


I certainly hope that another laboring mother was not displaced (to the left, to the left) due to the lock down of AN ENTIRE FLOOR..... 
Another mother who didn't have the luxury or time to get to another hospital where they don't sell out like it's One Night Only at Madison Square Garden.....
Another mother who's baby is every bit as precious & sacred as Sasha Fierce's offspring.....


I enjoy the entertainment industry, I really do, but stuff like this pisses me off.
