The new season of Celebrity Apprentice is off the hook, and Donald Trump is making sure no lawsuits come out of it. Last week, Actress Lisa Rinna was fired, and she didn’t take it well. Rinna felt she was being attacked by Star Jones and Dionne Warwick. She accused the ladies of having attitudes and conspiring to get rid of her. After she was fired from the show, she took to her twitter account mocking Jones and comparing her to Halloween monsters. She also reportedly sent Jones nasty emails. Jones then contacted the NBC legal department, who had to make Rinna stop. Singer Dionne Warwick is showing a different side of herself on the show. Warwick surprised a lot of people with her forceful demeanor. A lot of her fans expressed outrage at her behavior. Dionne is no joke, and you don’t want to mess with her! But, she is going to have to be careful. She is known as a legendary entertainer, and her behavior on the show could cost her longtime fans.
In other Apprentice news, what’s going to happen to Richard Hatch? The former Survivor winner is part of the Apprentice cast and he is back in jail for failing to pay taxes. Will he be at the season finale?
Whitney Houston is in a desperate bid to save her only child from her mistakes. The past couple of weeks have been terrible for 18-year old Bobbi Kristina. An old boyfriend leaked photos of Bobbi Kris snorting cocaine to the tabloids, and there were rumors of a sex tape. The sex tape was never made public because she was under 18 at the time. A few years ago, Bobbi Kris appeared out of control when photos appeared on line showing her smoking and making out with girls. Can Whitney help save her daughter? With family intervention, Whitney says yes. Whitney knows her own problems with substance abuse, and she doesn’t want her daughter to go through the same problems. Bobbi Kris’s dad Bobby Brown is in total denial about his daughter proclaiming She Would Never Do Drugs, even though she admitted it. Brown has been on the road promoting his new solo project, Masterpiece, and working on a New Edition reunion, which would include an album and a tour.
Sister Sister” vet Tia Mowry is about to become a Mother Mother.
Mowry — who acted opposite her identical twin, Tamera, on the ’90s sitcom and now stars on BET’s “The Game” — is due July 3, her rep confirms to Us Weekly.
The baby will be the first child for Mowry, 32, and her husbande of two years, “Battle: Los Angeles” actor Cory Hardrict, 31, and the pregnancy will be documented by the Style Network for a show to air later this year.
“We are both so excited to be parents,” the couple tells Us in a statement. “We have been wanting this a long time!”
In essence, Republicans succeeded in playing on fears (some real and some imagin*ed) which scared substantial segments of the voting population away from the president’s economic policies and liberal agenda.
Those most affected by the scare tactics were older voters, wealthy voters and independent white voters who “surged to the polls” on November 2 to help return control of the U.S. House of Representatives to the Republicans and reduce the size of the Democratic Party majority in the U.S. Senate.
The report was released by Project Vote, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group, which also found that turnout by pro-Democratic blocs such as African-Americans, young people and Latinos dropped sharply from 2008 levels, leaving what it labeled “a lopsided pro-Republican electorate to dominate the national landscape.”
Compared with 2008, voting dropped off this year particularly among pro-Democratic groups:
o Young voters were down by 55 percent.
o African-Americans were down by 43 percent.
o Hispanics were down by 40 percent.
Of those voters who did show up this year, 4 out of 5 were white, 1 in 10 was African-American and 1 in 13 was Latino. The analysis is based primarily on exit poll data and preliminary estimates from the U.S. Elections Project.
The results strongly suggest that if Obama wants a second term as president, he will have to rely heavily on getting young whites, Blacks and Hispanics to the polls. Currently, however, the president and his advisors appear to be spending more time trying to work out deals with Republicans and appease their conservative base.
Toni Braxton is in the financial doghouse again. For the second time in her life, the 43-year old singer has filed for bankruptcy. Braxton is in debt to the tune of $50 million. According to her list of creditors, she owes everyone money. Apparently, Braxton has been living large and not paying bills. Sources close to the singer say her debt led to the failure of her marriage to Singer Keri Lewis of Mint Condition. Braxton’s latest money problems started when she had to back out of her Las Vegas show. She had a heart condition and her insurance company wouldn’t cover the tab. The casino she was working with refused to cover the expenses. Her last album didn’t do well, and there has been no word on an upcoming tour. Braxton was recently spotted at a Miami Dolphins football game all blinged out without a care in the world.
Toni I suggest you get some counseling, mentally and financially with the quickness.

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of listening to a variety of radio shows on the air. I must say these are my observations and comments.
1. Hannity – Bigot, egotistical, likes to be the limelight. Goes by half truths, not good at investigating
the whole truth. Nor do you apologize for misquotes, and misinformation.
2. Bill O’Riley – Bigot, mental issues of unfair commentaries. Acts like a cartoon, does not like to be challenge when he is wrong, or accept responsibility for misstatements. Thinks he knows it all. Talk about a curtain, even Ray Charles could see that bullshyt.
3. Michael Savage – Egotistical blow hard. Rude, rants, not good as a radio host. Another one thinks he knows it all, and his word is always right – give me a break. At one point he was being sued and had on air folks calling with money to help with his lawyers and court fees. (the name Savage suits you!)
4. Michael Medved – Get a life outside of radio. You sir are a educated fool at best. Folks pacify you because they feel sorry for you, not because you are that good. Why do you think a lot of Authors will not discussed there books on air with you, because you are such a irritation. So your Jewish and……………..so am I now what? Learn to be honest in your critiques, and not add your flavor of injustice. Some folks are dealing with holocaust everyday of there lives call “survival”. Get a grip you inept fool.
5. Rush- Yes please rush to the nearest door and never come back. You sir are a bigot, racist, uniformed,
don’t care to know the truth commentator. You represent who? The Republicans want you to shut the hell up. The Democrats simply ignore your ignorance, after all ignorance is bliss as it concerns you. Again, money talks and bullshyt walks. You are one of the greatest on air bullshyter there is. You are most famous for throwing a rock and hiding both of your hands. Yet the truth always has a way of rearing his head when it comes to you and your character. Get off the train love, you have went waaaaay past your stop.
6. Laura Ingram – Somebody get me a bag, I’m throwing up in my own mouth.
and that is my commentary on rants for today, thxs.
Media Matters is reporting that former Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod said she has been receiving threatening calls and e-mail since a misleading video clip of her posted by Andrew Breitbart went viral.
“I am getting hate calls and e-mails at this point,” Sherrod said in an interview today with the liberal blog. “I got one call last night at my house at 12:30 a.m. that said, ‘you lost your job, good for you’ and ‘b****’ There are people out there who will believe that I am a racist person, even though the story is getting out there.”
“I got crank calls right away. Someone sent me an e-mail and link and said, ‘shame on you’ and other stuff. I was sitting in a meeting, and I was really upset,” she said. “I texted back that they were so wrong and that they need to know the message, and they got it wrong.”
Sherrod was fired by the Department of Agriculture and denounced by the NAACP over the video clip which appears to show her suggesting that she does not provide her “full force” in aiding white farmers. But a full video posted Tuesday night by an embarrassed NAACP clearly shows that Sherrod’s comments were taken out of context and edited to make it seem she was saying something she wasn’t.
Sherrod blamed Breitbart and Fox News for pushing the story that ended in her firing.
“The news media should tell it like it is and not the way they want it to be,” she said. “I think it is race. You think we have come a long way in terms of race relations in this country, but we keep going backwards.”
Don’t invite Bill Cosby and Russell Simmons to the same event. In the past, Simmons has taken issue with Cosby’s stance against gangsta rap, parental responsibility and disrespectful youth. Simmons feels Cosby has been too harsh. Cosby has criticized many of the entertainment ventures the rap mogul has some connection with, most famously taking to the airwaves to criticize Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam show. At the recent Jackie Robinson Foundation Awards (The ROBIE’s), the two came face to face, and it didn’t go well. Cosby told the media mogul and bestselling author to Get The F*&% Out Of My Face, and bumped him as he walked away. Even though he and Mr. Cosby have their differences, Simmons says he still loves him. (it’s like that Bill?)(Bill your an educated man
I’m surprised at your behavior. Are you becoming senile, and know
one wants to confess it to you?)
