Buckle Up! New Celebrity Apprentice Cast Announced
At least whatever sanity is lost is charity's gain.
Donald Trump and NBC have unveiled the latest crop of (if not A-listers, then at least folks who are on some list or other) famous types who will compete for cash for their favorite charities and—if all goes according to plan—start judging and hating on one another right from the get-go on the fifth installment of Celebrity Apprentice.
Here's the run-down on the 18 [feel free to insert your own Trumpian superlative] stars along for the ride:
EXCLUSIVE!
Former Survivor Winner Richard Hatch: I Am a Target of Injustice
Now that he's back in the wild, Richard Hatch has a bone to pick with Uncle Sam. Make that several.
Hours after he was released from a Rhode Island correctional facility for tax evasion, the original Survivor champ and later Celebrity Apprentice scourge tells E! News exclusively about the "horrendous" living conditions he had to endure in the pokey the last few years and why he considers himself a victim of injustice by the legal system.
Sprung Alert! Richard Hatch Released From Prison
Maybe Richard Hatch has learned his lesson now.
The first-ever Survivor winner and Celebrity Apprentice also-ran was released Monday from the minimum-security lockup he was tossed in after failing to comply with the terms of his release from federal prison in 2009.
Too Tipsy for Takeoff? Apprentice Champ John Rich Booted From Southwest Flight
John Rich's latest trip sure sounds like it was caught Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace.
"Did John Rich have a great time with fans in Las Vegas? Yes. Was there an altercation? Absolutely not," the country singer's spokesman tells E! News in response to a report that the Celebrity Apprentice winner was kicked off a Southwest flight from Vegas to Nashville yesterday for drunkenly kickin' up a ruckus.
But we hear that Rich was indeed the passenger whom the airline assessed was "not fit for travel."
Donald Trump a Grandpa Again as Don Jr. Welcomes a "Beautiful" Son
Anyone up for The Celebrity Apprentice: Grandkids edition?
Donald Trump became a grandfather for the fourth time when eldest son Donald Jr. and wife Vanessa welcomed their third child together early Sunday morning.
"8lb 4oz born 2:59 am Sun oct 2. Mom and baby doing great! He can't wait 2 meet his big brother & sister," Don Jr. tweeted today.
But while there was no big, fancy birth announcement (not today, anyway), did the real estate empire scion get a big, fancy name?
Which Big Stars Partied at Lindsay Price's Baby Shower?
Lindsay Price's baby isn't born yet, but it's already partying with celebrities.
The Lipstick Jungle actress had a Los Angeles baby shower thrown in her honor over the weekend, and a slew of stars were on hand to fete the mom-to-be, who's expecting with beau Curtis Stone (you know, from Celebrity Apprentice?).
So what famous friends attended her lavish shower?
So True? So False? Is Donald Trump Really Earning $160 Million for The Apprentice?!
So what makes a person opt to stay on as host of a reality show instead of throwing his hat in the ring as possible leader of the free world? $160 million, that's what.
At least, that's what the new round of rumors would have us believe, as the New York Post claimed this week that Donald Trump has become the highest-paid star in all of reality TV after scoring a, well, Trump-sized raise that has him personally banking a whopping $65 million for the next two seasons of The Apprentice (the rest is reportedly lining the pockets of coproducer Mark Burnett).
But the question remains, can he afford to fix his hair now does Ryan Seacrest know about this could it possibly be true?
Hold onto your comb-overs, because this rumor is...
So True? So False? Did NeNe Leakes Really Get Booted Off The Real Housewives of Atlanta?!
It's one thing to get fired from Celebrity Apprentice, but is NeNe Leakes actually losing her gig on the show that made her famous in the first place?
Thanks to a New York Daily News report, speculation has been running rampant today that the reality star won't be on your boob tube when you tune into the next season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
What's more, there's talk that her replacement might be Marlo Hampton, who's engaged to NFL player Charles Grant. You know, the guy NeNe was believed to be dating after her marriage fell apart!
Listen up, Kim Zolciak, because this rumor is...
Celebrity Apprentice Finale: Did John Rich or Marlee Matlin Take Home the Title?
And then there was one.
The championship round heated up between John Rich and Marlee Matlin in their battle to create the best retro 7UP campaign and take home Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice crown.
So who was the last competitor standing?
What Really Sank Donald Trump's Presidential Bid?
What happened to Donald Trump's presidential bid? What changed his mind?

If I answer this question, can we make a deal? No more questions about Donald Trump? At least until he announces a bid for president of whatever planet his hair is from. Then I shall weigh in with whatever astronomy, or deep-space-physics knowledge is required.
As for Trump's presidential bid, here's what happened behind the scenes:
