Why Bret Michaels Will Win 'The Celebrity Apprentice'
Last October, NBC invited a bunch of us TV critic types to meet and interview the cast of the current season of 'The Celebrity Apprentice.' This was before an episode had even been shot; in fact, this was the first time many of the contestants had met each other.Even then, I knew that Bret Michaels had what it took to win the whole thing.
And now, it's coming to pass. He's only one of two men still left in the competition (the other being Curtis Stone). He's either led or taken over three of the tasks so far, and has done a very good job each time.
But what led me to believe that Michaels was going to win it all was what he told me that morning in New York. "After 22 years of running Poison's business, that's out on the road handling 48 people on the road crew, I think that people are going to see that there's this other side of me that brings, not only these people skills, but my ability to work hard and play harder," he told me.
Donald Trump to Sinbad: 'You're Fired!' (VIDEO)
The firings have been tough so far on 'The Celebrity Apprentice' (Sun., 10PM ET on NBC), because most of the team members have been stepping up to their tasks.But last night's firing seemed on target. The guys lost the Kodak challenge, and team leader Sinbad seemed a bit scattered when trying to manage the team – especially Bret Michaels, who kept trying to get an assignment, to no avail.
What do you think? Did the right person get fired?

Who Needs Celebs? NBC Bringing Back the Original 'Apprentice'
Ta ta disgraced governors. See ya, washed-up rock stars. According to the TheWrap, NBC is bringing back the celeb-free version of 'The Apprentice' for the first time since 2007, with a recession-era twist: "Real people" contestants who've been hit hard by the bad economy will get a chance to reverse their fortunes by wowing boss Donald Trump.
The return of the original premise has been rumored for some time. Trump recently declared himself all for it, telling reporters, "I will be very involved if they bring back regular 'Apprentice,'" he said. "I'd be very involved in the casting again."
Bret Michaels Sings Like a Chipmunk on 'Rachael Ray'(VIDEO)
Bret Michaels appeared on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated) as today's "Mystery Taster." Michaels, who was hidden from Rachael Ray's sight and had his voice disguised with a voice changer, took questions as she attempted to guess his identity.As a final hint for Ray, Michaels strapped on a guitar and played a verse from the classic Poison song 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn,' but the voice changer gave him a sound distinctly reminiscent of 'Alvin and the Chipmunks.' We call it an improvement.

Donald Trump's Ego is 'The Celebrity Apprentice's' Biggest Problem

One of the mantras that any fan of 'The Apprentice' has heard over the show's nine Donald Trump-filled seasons is that "You never know who Mr. Trump is going to fire."
It's the aspect of the show that makes it unique in the sea of reality contest shows on the air right now. There's no panel of judges conferring on who should be eliminated, no one getting the ax because they came in last. No, the outcome of each episode is purely up to Donald Trump.
And that's where the show runs into its biggest problem, especially now that celebrities are involved.
It goes without saying that Trump's got an ego that's bigger than the tower that bears his name. But he's made firing decisions in the last couple of 'Celebrity Apprentice' seasons that really made me think he was acting more like a TV producer than a shrewd businessman. And if last night's season premiere is any indication of what Trump is thinking this year, 'The Celebrity Apprentice' is going to be tough to watch.
'Celebrity Apprentice 2': Who Will Win?

Ross on this third season of 'Celebrity Apprentice.' The teams, incidentally, are divided by sex.
The action starts 9 PM ET Sunday on NBC. Before then, we've studied the field and calibrated who the likely winner will be.

Bret Michaels loses one round fight with Tony Awards set
Rock of Love star Bret Michaels ran smack into a descending piece of stage scenery at Sunday night's Tony Awards, going down for the count with multiple injuries.You can watch the video here, or just watch after the jump. If you're not a fan of Michaels, his band (Poison) or his "looking for romance" reality show, you should resist the urge to watch it about 10 times while giggling. It's wrong to laugh at another person's misfortune. This reporter would certainly never dream of enjoying something like this.
MIchaels' injuries include a broken nose and three stitches in his lip. He had a CAT scan today as a precaution s he has an old neck injury. No word what effect the impact had on his permanent make-up.
Reality show casting calls
A day hasn't gone by where we haven't received some sort of tip or email asking us, the TV Squad, how to get on [insert reality show here]. Unfortunately no, Simon Cowell does not work for us, and Donald Trump isn't my BFF, so we really can't help all that much.
The folks at RealityWanted.com often send us a list of new and existing reality shows that are looking for new, er, talent, and they've given us permission to make mention of them here. We'll try to make this a regular feature as often as we get a new list.
This time we have Rock of Love, Family Court and a lot of new shows.
Bret Michaels makes People's Hottest Bachelors of 2008
Rock of Love's Bret Michaels was named one of the hottest bachelors of 2008 by People magazine. But skanks like Daisy de la Hoya, Heather Chadwell, and Ambre Lake knew that already. Bret is joined by fellow television stars Mario Lopez, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, and Brody Jenner. He credits his awesome weave, always protected by a bandana or cowboy hat, as the major part of his sex appeal: "It creates this Tarzanesque, likable bad-boy image. It says, 'I am a wild child. I will take you on a Harley ride, then make passionate love to you. And should you be attacked by a lion or an idiot at a bar, I will protect you. "To put it simply, long hair works for me. It rocks." No, Bret. You rock.
So what do you think? Does big man Bret deserve a spot on this list? You can view the whole list here.
