  • “Celebrity Apprentice” winner Bret Michaels • In response to a question posed by Donald Trump: “Are you risking your life being here?

Culture: Scorned woman or not, Jesse James has one rich guy in his corner

  • In terms of television, it probably helps him. … Whether you like Jesse or not, he’s now a much hotter commodity than before this happened. And his audience — they love him.
  • Donald Trump • Regarding the crazy marital situation between Jesse James and Sandra Bullock, one that fell apart due to James’ Tiger Woods-like infidelity. While he notes the West Coast Choppers mogul probably won’t be getting any endorsements any time soon, he seems fairly confident that his former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant (who finished third on the show) will bounce back. source

Culture: We hate Carrie Prejean. Will they please take away her crown?

  • Carrie’s fate rests in the hands of Donald Trump. Despite the fact that Trump is famous for firing people, he’s shown a little bit of compassion for pageant winners. Miss California Carrie Prejean, however, is a mess unto herself, the perfect combination of liar, activist and PR nightmare that could be enough to convince the Donald to get rid of her. Fortunately, Tami Farrell, the Miss California runner-up, has been doing most of Prejean’s job already since Prejean’s been too busy fighting gay marriage. source
