Celebrity Apprentice Cast Confirmed!

The new season of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice will premiere on March 14th with a battle of the sexes as each team of celebrities battle it out to earn money for their favorite charities.
The new cast has been revealed and from the looks of these names, this season could turn out to be pretty darn entertaining!

The female team will consist of Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Cyndi Lauper, Carol Liefer, Maria Kanellis, and Summer Sanders.

The male team will be Bret Michaels, Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad, Michael Johnson, Darryl Strawberry, Goldberg, and Curtis Stone.

Donald Trump said "This season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is going to be fantastic. The list of celebrities we have this season is outstanding and the show will really resonate with our core viewers and fans. I expect this season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' to be the best one yet."

The celebrities will compete in business-driven tasks around New York City using their fame, rolodexes and their business acumen to win weekly tasks and money to donate to their favorite charities, while ultimately battling with each other to stay out of the boardroom and avoid hearing those dreaded words "You're Fired!"

Why So Classy? :: Megan Hauserman

Megan Hauserman needs to realize that if she's going to be on a Vh1 reality show, she's either going to get her butt kicked (if she's lucky) or she's going to catch some mutant strain of VD. More than that: you should know, as a person, that you don't mess with someone's family, especially someone who can answer the question, "You and what army?"

That's why Megan shouldn't be shocked that Sharon Osbourne poured wine on her head and yanked at her skanky weave after she called Ozzy "brain dead." The brawl went down on the Rock of Love: Charm School reunion show a little while ago and now Megan is suing over it.

TMZ says Megan filed the lawsuit yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court. Megan is suing for "for battery, negligence and infliction of emotional distress."

Emotional distress?! Battery? This is coming from someone who kissed Bret Michaels and probably peeked under under his bandana. If that doesn't scar you for life, I don't know what does.

Host Using No Class on Show About Class

Help me out here ...You have a show about learning to display manners, class, and dignity along with general respect for others --and the host is not held to the same standards of manners (let alone class)?

Yep, only in America can this happen. It's what we American's are known for. In a word; hypocrisy! That is exactly what Sharon Osbourne did on her beloved Charm School reunion show with busty blond "Beauty and the Geek" winner Megan Hauserman (age 29). While Hauserman is no charm school stand-out, it appears the basic premise of the show is no longer, "follow by example," but more along the lines of "do as I say, not as I do."

The photos above and below show it all. Reportedly Sharon was upset over her husband Ozzy being insulted by Megan. But instead of handling it in the theme of the show, Sharon readily dumped a big-gulp sized sugary drink all over Megan Hauserman. Security burst onto the set stage to break up a melee (hair pulling etc...) and Hauserman was escorted from the set. Nice class Sharon, way to use the bully pull-pit!

And to think so many of Americans hero worship false idols such as Sharon Osbourne. God bless her though, she knows how to keep herself in the spot light. From her first rise to fame by cunningly marrying Ozzy Ozbourne and stepping out of obscurity to putting her misfit family on TV for all to laugh at and be appalled at. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Ozzy fan, great music in his day, and he's a legend for his antic of biting the head off a bat, but Sharon's talent is truly remarkable. She's a PR maven.

Now all she has to remember is this, "Those who cannot do; teach."



In follow-up, Hauserman ended up in an area L.A. hospital and did indeed press charges. PCM has yet to determine if LAPD has made any arrests.

Happy New Year...FIRST POST OF THE YEAR!!

I did it! Ha ha! I did it! The first post of the new year! Mine. Mine. MIIIIIIINE!!!!

*evil laugh*

This year had to have been THE craziest New Year's on record...and I live in NYC, so this is no small feat.

First off, there was My Morning Jacket's show at the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden (pics to be posted on the main site whenever we can find the editor amongst the survivors...). Let's just say...I've seen some things, man. I've seen some things.

Then, at the eleventh hour, Time Warner Cable announced its truce with Viacom. (What, you say?)

Let us pause and worship at the altar of the trash TV gods for a minute:


I love Sharon Osbourne.

Back to this resolved issue: Time Warner said Viacom wants to charge more for use of their networks, including: MTV, MTV 2, MTV Hits, MTV James, MTV Tr3s, Comedy Central, CMT, Pure Country, Logo, Palladia, Nickelodeon, Noggin, Nick 2, Nicktoons, Spike, The N, TV Land, VH1, VH1 Classic and VH1 Soul.

Time Warner Cable doesn't want to pay, because they will have to charge their subscribers more if they agree to it (and, really, considering our cable bills every month -- FOR BASIC CABLE BESIDES! -- there's really only so much one is willing to pay for their All in the Family reruns. On the other hand, fleecing customers is a fine art that Time Warner has perfected...).

Well, this morning, Time Warner and Viacom resolved their differences. The CEO of Time Warner released the following statement: "We are pleased that our customers will continue to be able to watch the customers will continue to be able to watch the programming they enjoy on MTV Networks. We are sorry they had to endure a day of public disagreement as we worked through this negotiation."

They wouldn't say what the new terms of the deal are, but you better believe they are going to be charging us more. Even if they don't need to, they will, because now they have an excuse. Those greedy SOB's love to roll around in as much money as possible (remember Scrooge McDuck on Duck Tales? He was a Franciscan monk compared to these guys...).

For those of you who stayed home and watched CNN, never fear...Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper (who, interestingly enough, is the son of famed clothing designer/socialite Gloria Vanderbilt) made it worth your while.

(WARNING: NSFW!)

Now, we New Yorkers would call this a typical Tuesday, but for those of you outside the area, the following might be a little...interesting...



(Mind you, this isn't an entirely impromptu line. Kathy Griffin has clearly been watching Mr. Show. Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

And how was YOUR New Year's?!

Commandment No. 11: Thou Shalt Not Talk Trash About Sharon Osbourne's Family

The music industry maven known as Sharon Osbourne was the headmistress of Rock of Love: Charm School and she had to teach a bunch of back-alley, Jersey Shore-ish skanks how to be classy ladies (yeah, I know, I know). Well, I guess all that flew out of the window on Saturday night, because Sharon allegedly tried to rip out Megan Hauserman's (the blonde one who always looks like she's smelling a fart...like that really limits it) bleached weave for talking smack about Ozzy.

It all went down at the taping of the Charm School reunion show on Saturday night. According to TMZ, Megan told Sharon that she was only famous for managing a brain dead rock star named Ozzy Osbourne. Megan's little comment must have lit the fire in Sharon's butt, because she bounced off her seat and went after her. Sharon grabbed at Megan's back alley weave, pulling at it and scratching at her until security came in to pull the two apart.

Megan went to the hospital yesterday and filed a police report. The LAPD hasn't filed charges, but said that Sharon is a suspect in a minor battery.

In other, unrelated news, I'm starting the Sharon Osbourne Legal Defense Fund, which includes an attempt to raise William Kuntsler from the dead.
