‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ Season Finale and 2011 Winner

by Bruce Simmons on May 23, 2011

in Entertainment, television, tv review

The season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice kicked it in gear with a bit of a recap and Donald Trump firing two people pretty early in the episode. Those two were the two guys unrolling the “red carpet” out in front of Trump as he was walking into the set. They ran out about 15 feet short. He fired them.

Marlee Matlin and John Rich were facing off against each other in a retro schemed and themed 7-Up commercial competition for The Celebrity Apprentice. Check out these “exclusive” images taken by this Cinema Static photographer of the retro products that were already out in the stores four days prior to this episode airing.

The episode started out with Matlin having some contractual issues with Geoffrey Holder, and Rich wanted to make sure things were the way he wanted them to be with Def Leppard‘s performance. But these little roadblocks weren’t too big.

For the live show, Richard Hatch wasn’t there because he is in jail for past issues. When Trump asked Cassidy about Hatch, I think he tried to be funny and snarky but instead it came out a bit vindictive. Trump tried to stir up more stuff but it didn’t ignite.

Marlee’s program went well… attendee’s were all welcomed to the event, the ad they aired seemed OK, but the floor show with the Harlem Globe Trotters looked to go well.

Star Jones Only Argues with Lawyers ['The Celebrity Apprentice']

by Bruce Simmons on May 11, 2011

Star Jones‘ argument with Meatloaf on The Celebrity Apprentice reminded me of someone I know… when you’re losing the fight, throw around the credentials. LOL.

This season of Donald Trump‘s The Celebrity Apprentice has a fantastic group of individuals left to battle it out in the final rounds. Through this latest season we’ve discovered that something quiet rages underneath the surface of Meatloaf… which was apparently goaded to life by the mildly demented Gary Busey.

There are other notable points I’ve taken away from this season so far!

From actions I’ve seen on the show, I became an instant non-fan of Dionne Warwick. My perceptions about Gary Busey have been dashed forever and well, Richard Hatch didn’t surprise me, much, though his calculating counterpart, Star Jones, did.

Lisa Rinna… too bad she got ganged up on, but there must have been something going on in the background that we never saw that turned the tables on her, in force!

Jose Canseco was a huge man (when did baseball players get as big as busses?) and it was a shame to see him go.

Donald Trump must have a strong connection with the Jackson’s to have given La Toya so much leeway. But now he can say he fired someone twice in the same season.

TV News from Brusimm [NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Fringe, Chuck and Others]

by Bruce Simmons on November 22, 2010

Today I’m splattering out news that I’ve collected all last week on some TV shows that we like here at Cinema Static on Brusimm. The news includes bits from NCIS, Grey’s Anatomy (a warning), Chuck (good news), Fringe (seriously?), Medium (not good news), The Event (stalled), Undercovers (bah bye) and mid-season announcement press releases from Fox and NBC. In other words, there’s lots of tidbits of entertainment news for your consumption!

Let’s git on with it!

= = =

NCIS

If my math is right, then the paper shredding mystery by Director Vance is going to be answered this week and the Nov 23rd episode of NCIS will pay out big time.

So hang on to your hats and enjoy the episode of an incredible TV series.

= = =

Grey’s Anatomy

Folks, hang on to your hats with this one, but according to Michael Ausiello, despite being between gigs, keeps cranking out information via several sites and his own facebook account. The man’s a lean, mean working machine!

Oh, got carried away. Michael reported that there’s a rumor that Grey’s Anatomy is planning a musical episode for the second half of the season.

Would that make it Glee’s Anatomy?
