The Celebrity Apprentice Finale

CelebApprentice 300x186 My Thoughts on The Celebrity Apprentice Finale   May 23, 2010

I have always liked Bret Michaels and Holly Robinson Peete. On The Celebrity Apprentice however I didn’t like Holly. She came across as being mean. She always stayed TOO conservative, and it cost her most of the time. If it isn’t obvious by now I was pulling for Bret Micheals to win going into the finale.

I was shocked to see the celebrities they brought back to help the two finalists last week. Summer Sanders being on Bret’s team was very unusual, but she worked well in the task for Bret. Darryl Strawberry coming back at all was surprising since he essentially quit early in the season. He also worked very well in the task though. Maria Kanellis coming back wasn’t a huge surprise, but her being on Holly’s team was. They didn’t get along at all before Maria was fired. Curtis Stone was the least surprising of the returning celebrities, and him going with Holly’s team also wasn’t at all a surprise.

In last week’s episode it seemed like Curtis gave Holly a definite advantage because of him knowing which flavors would work with the others. Maria didn’t seem like she helped a lot, but I am sure that is more due to editing than anything. Darryl and Summer seemed to help out a lot on Bret’s team, even though it seemed like Bret was actually doing everything, again probably due to the editing.

The products that both teams produced were amazing. The bottles looked great, the commercials were good and funny, and either of them could have won really.

From here on might be some spoilers, so stop reading if you don’t want to know the important stuff.

I think the best thing that happened to Bret was that he lost his script and had to get creative in the editing of the commercial. It eliminated him doing two commercials which would have led to the Snapple people and Donald Trump thinking he spread himself too thin and both commercials suffered because of it. Not to mention the one commercial all together was really good and much better than each one individually. His brochure was much better too. Holly’s was just to plain, which is actually what she was going for. Her commercial was good, BUT it was a Snapple commercial. Which in essence was a good idea, but as usual she wasn’t outside of the box. Luckily for Bret he lives outside of the box.

During the live finale it was great to see Bret up and around after coming so close to death. That in itself was a huge victory. It was also very nice to see the real Holly come out. Her and Bret had become friends during the show, and she was genuinely happy to see him at the finale.

In a REALLY anti-climatic moment Donald Trump pointed out that Snapple was matching the $250,000 prize, so both Bret and Holly’s charities would be receiving a quarter of a million dollars. This basically meant that it didn’t matter who was named The Celebtiry Apprentice, cause after all they were both definitely there for their charities.

He then finally announced that Bret had won and is The Celebrity Apprentice.

All in al it was a good season for the show. I am sure it has rebuilt an audience that had to be shrinking a bit. Last year’s Celebrity version I lost interest in with a couple weeks to go. This one kept me watching every episode. Of course that was partially because I liked many of the celebrities before they were on this show. So, I guess casting had a lot to do with it all. They should try an All-Star season. Bring back some of the regular players, and maybe a couple of the celebrities that might be interested to compete together. Would probably go pretty well I think.

SurvivorHVLogo 299x195 My thoughts on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains season and finale   Spoiler Alert

Once again, I won’t reveal the winner of the show until later in the post to assure you don’t accidentally see the winner before you watch.

I was definitely an interesting season for Survivor. After 20 seasons of the show they still manage to keep it interesting. That in itself is very impressive. They also manage to find the almost perfect mesh of all-stars to assure it is interesting.

I was so upset when Stephenie and James went out so early on in the game. I bet they will both be back for another try at some point. At least I hope they will be. Them, along with Rupert are probably my three favorites in all of Survivor. I am betting that one of those three WILL be winning the $100,000 fan favorite vote. (I am writing this as the jury is interviewing the three finalists.)

Now, we are beyond the excerpt point, so here we go.

The three finalists turned out to be Parvati, Russell, and Sandra. The worst decision that Russell made this time, is the same worst decision he made last time. That decision is who he took to the final three with him. This time he took the two people that have actually won Survivor! Sure, he was right that he will have Jerry’s vote, but it might turn out to be one of the few he actually gets.

Russell did control the game all the way through again, just as he did last time. He had people actually giving him idols this time. How stupid was that? Russell just makes bad choices when it counts the very, very most.

Parvati was great at challenges, she played a good social game, she aligned with the guy controlling everything early on. It all worked to get her into a position to win a million dollars AGAIN! She did however make too many enemies along the way though, I think.

Sandra managed to ride coattails to the final three, and stay off everyone’s radar AGAIN! Did people not watch her original season at all?? She has played the exact same game, and it worked. Not only did it work, along the way she gave people the chance again and again to try and take out Russell, and no one would help her get it done. The one time it was going to work Candice threw a wrench into the plan which caused Sandra to vote with Russell again.

I don’t really understand how, but I feel Sandra is about to win AGAIN! I still don’t understand how she won the first time. Her winning was one of my least favorite Survivor moments of all-time.

Here is how I think voting is going to go:

Russell gets: Jerry

Parvati gets: Danielle, J.T.

Sandra gets: Courtney, Rupert, Candice, Colby, Coach, Amanda

Yep, I think Sandra wins by a landslide.

So, now let’s see how the voting actually went.

Well, Sandra did win again. I am amazed, even though I just typed that she would win a minute ago. She is the first two-time winner of Survivor. Probst asked, and Sandra agreed that she is the best Survivor ever.

Of course Russell still thinks he is the best player in Survivor history. He may very well be the best ever. He makes the bad decision at the end though. He claimed there is a flaw in the game if Sandra can win twice. He says America should have a percentage of the final vote.

OK, they just announced they will be picking the dumbest move in Survivor history. My pick is Erik giving away the idol and then being voted out, or James getting voted out while holding idols.

And the winner is…J.T. for giving Russel the idol this season. I totally disagree. lol

Wow, Russell won the $100,000. Oh well, I thought it would be Rupert, but it wasn’t.

In closing, I enjoyed the season. All-Star seasons are the best. My idea for the next All-Star season… there have been 300+ Survivor contestants. Put all of their names into a vote of America. The two people that get the most votes are named Tribe Captains. They then do a schoolyard type tribe choosing from the remaining top 28 vote getters (that previously agree to be on the show if chosen). Do the tribe choosing show live and then start the show 2 weeks later. Mark Burnett and Jeff Probst, are you listening?

Next up is Survivor: Nicaragua…interesting choice of location. I also can’t wait for Survivor: New Jersey.

Hey, they never did reveal who voted for who. They did mention that Russell didn’t get any votes at all though.

Just in case you are like me and record stuff and some times don’t get around to watching it until a few days later… I will be revealing who won The Amazing Race last night later in this post. I am making sure it isn’t in the excerpt that will show on the main page because I HATE when someone ruins a show for me, especially a show finale.

Anyway, for me the ideal ending would have been Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother winning. I was excited to see they were still together, and trying out The Amazing Race. Just wish they could have stuck around longer.

I actually would have liked to see Louie and Michael (the two police officers) win the race, too.

OK, I think I filled enough space to start talking about the finale now.

Out of the three finalist; Brent & Caite, Dan & Jordan, and Jet & Cord…I couldn’t stand Brent & Caite, or Dan & Jordan. They were the two most annoying teams throughout the race. Well in the top three anyway (Brandy & Carol aka The Lesbians get in the top three too.). They whined, they fought with one another, and other teams, they whined some more. It was just so annoying! Of course in the history of The Amazing Race, the annoying teams usually tend to stick around longer than the likable teams.

Now, here is the bone I have to pick with last night’s finale. What ever happened to the rule that teams HAVE to fly in business or coach class, or whatever they are calling it now? Dan & Jordan moved up to first class! At that moment I was celebrating because I was expecting that if they had crossed the finish line first, Phil would say “Dan & Jordan, you are the first team to arrive…However I am sorry to tell you that you must serve a one hour penalty before I can check you in for flying in first class.” Then when I saw they were the team running for the finish line first, I got even happier. I loved that they were going to be first, but have to serve a penalty. It would have been perfect karma biting them in the butt. Then Phil told them they had won The Amazing Race…I was like WTH?!?

Jet and Cord were the only option of the final three that I would have enjoyed seeing win the race. It has nothing to do with them being from Oklahoma either. They were just very real, genuine people. It was enjoyable to watch them go through the entire race. They weren’t bickering with each other at every turn. They worked together nearly constantly, rather than against one another. They should have won!

They will be on our local news here on Friday morning. I can’t wait to hear their thoughts about everything. I am sure they will be very gracious in losing, even with their competitive spirit.

I certainly hope they bring them back for the next The Amazing Race: All-Stars season.

New Hannah Montana Glow In The Dark Condoms?

Miley Cyrus imageMiley Cyrus has been offered $1 million by LifeStyles Condoms to become their spokesperson. The company’s marketing VP Carol Carrozza said, “Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex.” She went on to say, “Recent reports showing one in four teen girls have a sexually transmitted disease paired with the teen pregnancy rate makes us believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set, and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America.”

The company also tried sweetening the deal by offering, in addition to the million-dollar paycheck, a lifetime supply of LifeStyles Condoms, for “whenever she decides the time is right.”

This is a strange pairing, but if you really think about it, the campaign could work. I mean, millions and millions of kids HAVE to have all of her merchandise and see all of her shows. Why not try to educate them a bit and get them interested in using something that will make them safer? The numbers do show teens are having sex; let’s let a teen idol convince them to use condoms to reduce the rate of STDs and teen pregnancy. I am sure Disney might have a bit of a problem with this whole idea. Miley might want to realize that at the rate she has been going, Disney will probably end up dropping her in another couple of months.

Saved By the Bell cast imageAs you may or may not know – during Jimmy Fallon’s short stay on Late Night thus far (61 shows), he has been trying to organize a Saved By the Bell reunion on his show.

So far he has had Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins), Lisa Turtle (Lark Vorhees), AC Slater (Mario Lopez), and most recently Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), and Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) all agree to do the reunion.

That just leaves Tiffani Thiessen and Dustin Diamond who have yet to get on board.

Now it is your turn to show your support. He has an online petition which currently has 49,642 signiatures. Lets help push it up and way over 50,000. I really don’t understand how he has 1,163,748 followers on Twitter and yet only 50,000 have signed.

Spread the word and help get people to sign this online petition.

Click here to go sign it. Please note you may only sign it once for each e-mail address.

Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) on Late Night with Jimmy FallonThat’s right Zach Morris, not Mark-Paul Gosselaar showed up for the Jimmy Fallon Show last night. It was a fun little segment which in the end had Zach agreeing to be part of the Saved By the Bell reunion that Fallon has been trying to organize. Preppy even got a call on his dinosaur of a cell phone from Jesse Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) who also said she was in for the reunion.

This only leaves Tiffani Thiessen and Dustin Diamond who haven’t agreed yet. I believe Thiessen will be easy to get, but Dustin Diamond will probably demand a million bucks to do it.

Anyway, enjoy the video of Zach’s appearence on Fallon.

Ashton Kutcher trying to end U.S. hungerWell, twitter isn’t a total waste of time. While I have spent way too much time on there today while I should have been doing any number of other things – it turned into some time well spent. I am rather new to twitter, but am now following like 140 people already.

Two of the people on that list are Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, yes I am one of those 2,000,000 plus followers he has. I bet I am one of only a few that actually picture him wearing the football helmet from That ’70′s Show while he tweets though.

Seriously though, today I saw them both tweeting about ending hunger in America. I did some searching around and got more info on the whole thing and decided to try and help, if even in my own little way. I mean I don’t have thousands of people hanging on my every typed word, but every little bit helps.

I am upset I hadn’t heard about this all before now, apparently you need to have the videos in ASAP. It is important to get them in though. It seems “a major U.S. corporation” is going to donate $10,000,000 in food if we can all create an awareness campaign to End U.S. Hunger.

Here is a 15 minute video of Ashton Kutcher explaining it all.

Basically here is what we need to do -

Record a video:

1. Ask the camera a question like “Hungry?” or “Are you hungry?”

2. Answer: “Eat!” or “Go ahead and eat!”

3. Then you physically eat something on camera. Once you have your video recorded you can either send it to endushunger@gmail.com , or upload it to YouTube.com and tag it with “End Hunger Now”.

Here is one clip of people from Feeding America ( www.feedingamerica.org ) explaining it all in case you don’t want to watch the entire 15 minutes of Ashton Kutcher above. The second video was made by the Feeding America offices.

So get making those videos and sending them in to endushunger@gmail.com or posting them to YouTube.

I know many people that read this are in Australia or other parts of the world, but just because you aren’t here in America doesn’t mean you can’t help.

One in eight Americans is hungry – help make a difference no matter where you are.

Jimmy Fallon as Fletch working out with Jessica Biel

Well I know yesterday I said this would be a weekly feature, but i have changed my mind. I will be sharing a bit of late night talk shows with you a few times a week, maybe even a couple in a single day depending on what i can find online.

Today I have two clips for your viewing pleasure. Both are from The Jimmy Fallon Show.

Enjoy.

In this first clip he sent Jason Sudekis to check out E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) – hilarity ensues.

The second clips is also from last night’s Fallon show. In this clip Jimmy works out with Jessica Biel. He looks ridiculously funny, and she can make even that outfit look hot.

Dave Matthews GPS System

I have long thought that Craig Ferguson was the funniest late night TV show host. However, I must say that Jimmy Fallon is now running neck and neck with him. So much so that I watch one and record the other to watch afterward.

I believe I am going to start a regular feature here on BloggingInAmerica.net. Each week I will post at least one video clip from the previous week’s late night shows. Chances are most clips will be from Fallon and Conan since I have seen very few clips from Craig online. If you know of a good place to get up to date clips from his show please share the info with me.

This week’s clip is from last night’s Fallon show. Introducing the all new not boring Dave Matthews GPS Navigation System.

One note, my wife was watching this with me and after Fallon sang a few lines she said, “He is just lip-synching with Matthews singing off camera isn’t he?” That’s just how good his impression was. He really was singing it himself. I loved how once Matthews came on screen and was looking at jimmy and shaking his head at him that Fallon couldn’t stop himself from laughing.

Enjoy the clip and come back every week for more great clips.

As many of you know I am rather busy with other aspects of the site and have little time to actually be posting stuff on my own blogs. That being said, sometimes a story comes along that I just cannot pass up writing about.

Teaching today's youths English

Teaching today's youths English

Tony Danza became the lovable sit-com and TV drama staple for many years. He was starring (and co-starring) in primetime almost nonstop from 1978 – 2002. From Taxi’s Tony Banta (1978 – 1983), and Tony Micelli on Who’s The Boss (1984 – 1992). then onto some drama roles as Tony Canetti on Hudson Street (1995 – 1996) after a three year break from TV. Then back to a short-lived comedy The Tony Danza Show as Tony DiMeo (1997 – 1998). then finally after another short break from TV he returned for Family Law (2000 – 2002) as Tony. . . no wait. . . finally his character was not named Tony! Instead he was Joe Celano.

Fast forward till now.

Danza is set to star in his very own reality show on the A&E network. The network that has spawned hits like Gene Simmon’s Family Jewels, Intervention, and of course its biggest legacy, Biography will follow him on a daily basis for the new show.

Danza is the second one from the right in the white shirt. That is his Taxi co-star Danny DeVito on the far left.

Danza is the second one from the right in the white shirt. That is his Taxi co-star Danny DeVito on the far left.

The main focus of this show which Danza is referring to as “responsible reality”, will be the tenth grade English class he will be teaching in a New York City school. That’s right I just said Tony Danza will be teaching tenth grade ENGLISH! He also suggest he might teach some drama, while fulfilling the nromal teacherly duties like cafeteria duty.

Danza told New York Post reporter Michael Starr, “I was talking about going back and answering the call to service and doing something different with my life,”

As for the “responsible reality” remark he told Starr, “I don’t want to do that other [reality] stuff and I don’t want to do a game show and nobody’s knocking down my door for acting jobs.”

Danza actually has his degree in History Education from the University of Dubuque which he got prior to following his dream of portraying many Tonys on the big and small screen.

This seems like one of the strangest matches, Tony Danza, and ENGLISH. I will actually be tuning in at least a couple times though to see what the new show is like. I have always liked Danza’s shows for the most part. He just might be the next hot reality star, you never know.

I wonder when Stallone will stop making Rocky and Rambo sequels and get a spin-off show in the same school teaching Speech Class.

On that note I will leave you with a clip from the show The Family Guy, that kinda drives home the strangeness of this situation.

Andy Hallett as Lorne - The Host on Angel

Andy Hallett as Lorne - The Host on Angel

Only die-hard “Angel” fans will recognize that name most likely. Andy Hallett played the unusual but lovable demon Lorne on the “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer” spin-off “Angel.”

Hallett passed away due to heart failure Sunday night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles with his father by his side according to his longtime friend and agent Pat Brady. He had been diagnosed about five years ago with heart disease, and had been in the hospital numerous times over that span. Pricate funeral services will be held some time this weekend in Cape Cod, Massachusetts near where he grew up in Osterville, MA.

I always liked Lorne. He was one of my favorite characters during his three or so seasons on Angel. He did go on to pursue his musical career after Angel.

R.I.P. Andy Hallett -- I am sure the demon within him will keep him singing for a long time.

Here is a clip of him singing Lady Marmalade as Lorne. Yes, that is Hallett actually singing. It is one of two songs he contributed to the “Angel: Live Fast, Die Never” soundtrack in 2005. the other song was “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”

Not so surprisingly another of my favorite posts involved beautiful women. More precisely some of the most artistic photos of beautiful women ever compiled. Timothy White is the artistic genius behind they amazing photos.

The women ranged in age from 22-year-olds Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen all the way through to 62-year-old Susan Sarandon It is amazing how different some of these women look in these images as compared to how we normally see them.

Check out the pictures and leave your own thoughts in the comments section below.

A word of warning before you scroll any further – There is some “nudity” in the following images.

———————————-

HOT! New Book – Hollywood Pinups by Timothy White

Let me start this post with the “About the Author” section direct from Amazon.com

“Timothy White is one of the most prolific and sought-after celebrity photographers in the country. For twenty years, he has captured the intimate, playful sides of legendary actors and actresses as well as the innocence of up and comers. He has photographed and continues to shoot some of the most recognizable movie posters of our time, the covers of countless high-profile publications, and imagery for an extraordinary roster of musicians. He lives in New York City.”

Now you know a little about Timothy White. His images are amazing, as you will see in just a minute. He has taken some extremely beautiful women and made them even more enticingly beautiful, hot and sexy. All while keeping the images extremely classy and tasteful, which is probably the only reason some of these stunning women agreed to be a part of this book.

The name of the book is “Hollywood Pinups.” In the book Timothy White takes some stars of recent times and captures them in the old ’40s style pinup gal poster. The book contains 80 pages, and i am including Amazon.com links below for those that might want to purchase it to see the rest of the wonderful images.

Enough of my rambling, onto the pictures. Please share what you think of them below in the comments section.

Please note that I have only included their ages to point out how unimportant age is when it comes to beauty, and sexiness. Forty-something is most definitely the new Thirty-something!

I have never really liked Kate Hudson (movies or her in general) This photograph however captures her in a whole new sexy and beautiful light.

Unfortunately this one of Molly Sims I could not find in one piece. I always considered her the least hottest of the hot on Las Vegas. This picture shows she should definitely rank up there with Vanessa Marcil and Nikki Cox.

This one might be the most stunningly beautiful sexy of them all. The back is often overlooked as far as being a sexy body part. You might think differently after seeing Angie Harmon’s back in this one.

This is so totally different than her mom persona on Desperate Housewives, or anything else I have seen her in. William H. Macy is a lucky man.

I have also never thought of Susan Sarandon as a sort of sex symbol, from her days in Rocky Horror, Bull Durham, or Thelma and Louise. This image at 62 years old has made me think I may have missed something along the way. Yes, that is right, she is 62 years old!

Please Stand Up 2 Cancer Stand Up 2 Cancer logo www.standup2cancer.org

I watch so much TV that I am usually behind in watching many shows. The reason is, I record most things and watch them at a later time. This allows me to eliminate commercials and make things move faster. Last night I finally watched the Stand Up 2 Cancer hour long special that was on last Friday night.

For those that have no clue what I am talking about – All three major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) came together last week and gave an hour of primetime television to the charity Stand Up 2 Cancer. The show was an hour long telethon of sorts full of stars, many were actually cancer survivors. Everyone on the show, other than the three network news anchors, wore t-shirts saying how hey were involved, i.e. survivor, in the fight, touched by cancer, and such.

The show included some cancer stories of the stars, normal people, and a segment where the stars took the place of the normal people who were too sick to be there and read their story as them. There were also a few musical performances. You can currently purchases them on iTunes with all the proceeds going to the charity.

The highlighted musical performance was a song called, “Just Stand Up”. It was sung by a blockbuster lineup of female singing stars which were all on the stage singing together. They were; Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Mellissa Ethridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and Carrie Underwood. For me though, I liked the James Taylor – Sheryl Crow duet of Fire & Rain.

Stand Up 2 Cancer is all about raising money to put an end to cancer. The way that this charity and idea is different than the rest is that their fundamental plan to get to a cancer cure is different and smarter than the rest. Their plan is to bring the greatest scientific minds together to find a cure. Forget about who gets the credit and the fame – just compare notes, talk, brainstorm, and find a cure in a few years, rather than another decade or more.

Everyone is touched by cancer in some way, a friend, a relative, a co-worker, yourself. One person in America dies every minute from cancer. My sister-in-laws grandmother lost her battle less than two months ago. I lost my grandfather to three different types of it many years ago. My wife has lost multiple people to it. We both have a number of friends currently winning in their fights. The sure is out there, it is just a matter of how soon we can find it.

As one of the stars in the show says (it may have been Ron Reagan Jr.), “Think of the billions and billions of dollars we spend every year as a country dreaming up more inventive ways to kill one another. . . I’d say our priorities are pretty screwed up.”

Here is the hour long show in its entirety.

If watching doesn’t make you want to Stand Up 2 Cancer, I doubt my asking you to will make a difference, but it is worth a shot.

Please Stand Up 2 Cancer

If anyone would like to send me a message with the story of how you are touched by cancer I will try to put together a nice post including all the stories. I would prefer to just use first names in the story, but if you want I could use a full name, just let me know. If I get at least three stories I will do the post. I do hope I can help spread the story of your loved ones to others.
