In a Celebrity Apprentice shocker on Sunday April 11, 2010, Michael Johnson sat down with Donald Trump near the end of the segment and announced that he was heading back to the west coast to be with his son Sebastian Johnson.
Trump asked the Olympic track champion for more information but there was none forthcoming. Michael alluded that he would know more about the situation after he arrived back in San Rafael, California where he lives with his 10-year-old son.
Johnson admitted that he hated to quit but felt compelled to be near his child. Trump wished him well.
Ironically, throughout the entire segment, contestant Bret Michaels looked like he might have to bail because his daughter Raine, 10, had symptoms indicating she had inherited juvenile diabetes – a condition that also struck the singer when he was a child. He injects himself with insulin four times a day and was very emotional over the prospect of his child having to go through life with the condition. He vowed that if he needed to, he would quit the show to be with her. Stay tuned…he could be the next celeb to walk.
Supermodel Selita Ebanks got the boot after her team, Tenacity, lost a challenge that involved writing, producing and directing a 30-second and 10-second commercial, starring NBA stars for Right Guard deodorant. Trump and his daughter Ivanka both felt that she was not as fierce a competitor as this week’s project manager Holly Robinson Peete or the other women on the team.
Sharon Osbourne did not appear in this week’s segment because of illness. She has had a respiratory ailment for the past several weeks. Trump tried to bait her team, indicating he would fire Osbourne if they felt she was faking her illness. They said they had spoken to her on the phone and believed that she was genuinely ill. Trump said he was watching the situation closely and might have to cut her loose in order to be fair to the rest of the celebrity contestants.
It looks like the Celebrity Apprentice cast from Season 3 is on the verge of imploding. The two-hour season finale will air on Sunday, May 23, 2010, from 9-11 p.m., ET/PT.
Alexis Neiers (Left) and sister, Tess Taylor (Right)
E! network’s “Pretty Wild” reality star Alexis Neiers is being accused once again of theft. The first incident connected Alexis with the “Burglar Bunch” who broke into the homes of many young Hollywood celebrities. This time she is accused of stealing from a nightclub employee.
Alexis and her sister Tess Taylor were the hosts at Primal nightclub on Saturday night and several employees of the club pointed a finger at the pair for suspicious activity. Witnesses allege that the sisters used the employee lounge restrooms several times throughout the night, raising enough suspicion that the two were stopped on their way out at the end of the night and their purses were searched.
A search of Alexis’ purse revealed an ID that belonged to an employee of the club, along with $200 cash. She denied any knowledge of how the ID could have possibly gotten into her handbag and claimed that the cash was hers.
The Atlanta police were called in and Alexis turned over the ID and the cash. She caught a huge break because no charges were filed. She is due in court this week in connection with the Hollywood robberies.
“The Lost Boys” actor Corey Haim died on March 10th, 2010 due to a drug overdose. The 38-year-old died penniless, with no estate funds to defray the cost of his funeral. Celebrity memorabilia company Startifacts stepped in and donated $20,000 to Judy Haim to cover the cost of her son’s funeral and burial – photos here.
The company has previously auctioning off Haim memorabilia and decided to help out the actors family during this trying time. However…they got word from Mark Alexander, Corey’s brother in-law, that the funeral home had already covered the cost of the service.
Alexander exchanged several emails with Startifacts to report that Judy Haim was actually using the $20K for her cancer treatments.
A representative for Judy said that all of her medical bills are covered and they were unsure where Mark got his information. The rep did admit that the funeral costs were covered by the funeral home and that Mrs. Haim was raising money to reimburse them.
The winner of the 2010 Masters Golf Tournament is 39-year-old PGA lefty Phil Mickelson, who captured his third Augusta win on Sunday April 11. He finished at -5 for the day and -16 for the four-day event to beat Lee Westwood by three strokes. His scores were 67, 71, 67, 67 for a total of 272.
Mickelson’s wife Amy Mickelson and their children traveled to Augusta to be near Phil this week for the first time since the Players Championship in May 2009. Amy has been battling breast cancer for the past eleven months and spent most of this week in bed recovering from the effects of her recent treatments. She arrived on the course late in the day on Sunday, just in time to see her husband sink a birdie putt on the 18th green to capture his fourth major title.
Phil embraced his wife for a long hug, with tears rolling down his face before going into a trailer to verify his scorecard. He hugged her again when he emerged and they headed off to the Butler Cabin for the green jacket ceremony.
After receiving his third green jacket he choked up and said, “She’s an incredible wife and an incredible mother. She’s been an inspiration this past week. It meant a lot to have her and the kids here this week.”
Texas Stadium, the former home of the Dallas Cowboys, was reduced to rubble at 7:07 a.m. CDT today in Irving, Texas. All that was left standing after the 25 second implosion were 3 buttresses that were hung up on debris that will be easily dealt with according to the demolition crew.
A crowd of 20,000 gathered to witness the destruction, with many participating in tailgate parties.
The stadium was built for a price tag of $35 million, opening in 1971 and closing in December 2008. The Dallas Cowboys played 38 seasons in the facility, winning 5 Super Bowls during those years. The aging structure was replaced by the $1.15 billion Cowboys Stadium that opened on May 27, 2009 in Arlington, Texas.
Sixteen year old singing sensation Justin Bieber appeared on Saturday Night Live last night and not only did he sing, but he did some acting as well.
In the skit below, Justin is a student in Tina Fey’s class and he sings and flirts with her pretty much the entire time. Odd? Sure. Funny? Sure.
