PopEater – Are the rumors about ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ being fixed true? Absolutely not, an NBC source tells me, although that doesn’t mean several celebrities haven’t tried. “You would be shocked at how many star’s producers invited to be part of the cast came back with a whole bunch of demands, including hair and makeup requirements and even what sort of flowers they needed in their dressing rooms,” laughed one producer. “One certain D-list personality who was divorced from an A-list musician overestimated her level of star power so much that she told Mr. Trump she would need to guaranteed to win if she agreed to participate!” Needless to say, she never got cast because we all know that the biggest ‘Apprentice’ star is already guaranteed to make it to the final episode. That would be Mr. Trump and his impossibly glorious hair.

More Subtle Than A Catfight
BlindGossip – Working on an ensemble project does have its perks. You’re part of the team, yet the whole project’s success doesn’t rest entirely on your shoulders. You get paid good money, but your time commitment is usually much shorter than if you were working on a typical project.
Two girls are part of this ensemble cast. They both behave professionally on set, but those in the know deliberately try to keep them apart during filming, post-production, and marketing.
Unfortunately, one can’t seem to ease up on the competitive and stealth undermining gestures. She tried to get her own name put first and in larger print in the credits than her co-star’s name. That didn’t happen. Then she stepped up her own PR efforts for their project, honoring twice the number of TV talk show appearances as her rival. Finally, she makes a very conscious effort to never, ever mention her rival’s name during interviews. If the interviewer brings up the rival’s name, our girl simply smiles and changes the topic. She’s actually quite skilled at it.

His Marriage Bit the Dust
BillyMasters – Could it be that one of the first celebs to ever take a slam at moi in a tabloid is eating his words? Way back when, this newlywed called me a “gossipmonger” – something I took as a huge compliment. He didn’t like that I diagnosed his marriage as DOA. It took a while, but it finally bit the dust. See? Told ya.
She Has No Intention of Marrying Fiance
BuzzFoto – This recently engaged star bragged to friends that she has no intention of marrying her betrothed. She claimed to be milking the situation to help her career and in several months, after the paps and fans have lost interest, she’ll call the whole thing off and milk the rest of the publicity for the breakup. Not Katy Perry.
