'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice' winner: Trace Adkins or Penn Jillette, who took home the prize?
19 May 2013 9:08 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Donald Trump launched his 13th season of "The Apprentice" on NBC in 2013 with another celebrity version -- but this one was an all-star season. Which former contestant came out on top this time around?
It was Trace Adkins, who previously finished as runner-up to Piers Morgan on the original season of "Celebrity Apprentice." He ended up raising over $1.3 million for the American Red Cross.
Penn Jillette came in second, after previously finishing seventh during the fifth season of the show. He ended up raising over $700,000 for Opportunity Village, a charity that serves people in southern Nevada who have developmental disabilities.
The final task, the first part of which aired a week ago, was to create a new flavor of ice cream for Walgreens, along with making a promotional video and raising money for a launch event. In the end, Jillette said he was no match for Adkins' super-human fundraising abilities. »

Review: Superboy the Complete Second Season
17 May 2013 10:01 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Alexander and Ilya Salkind had sold Superman to the Golan-Globus Group/Cannon but wisely retained the rest of the family including Superboy. Thanks to Star Trek: The Next Generation pioneering first run syndication in 1987, the Salkinds realized the Teen of Steel would be perfect. Looking to produce this on the cheap, they set up shop in Florida, hired science fiction hack Fred Freiberger to produce and hired a slate of newcomers to fill the iconic roles of Clark Kent, Ma and Pa Kent, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, et. al. The series debuted in 1988 with 25 episodes and was pretty laughable stuff. Freiberger was past his sell-by date and the Salkinds didn’t know how to handle the half-hour drama format.
Still, the ratings from the 95% of the country the series reached were strong enough to keep them going. However, changes needed to be made. Freiberger was shoved out and Salkind favorite »

These New 'Lion King' Posters Are Font-astic
14 March 2013 3:01 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Font nerds and Disney buffs, have we got a treat for you. Vermont-based design studio Untreed Studios has heard your jungle cries — or should we say roars -- and made fancy, highbrow-typography posters based "The Lion King." Designed with different characters, drawn as filled out by their iconic quotes -- and, yes, "Hakuna Matata" makes the cut — Simba, Mustafa, and even Rafiki take their sage wisdom and timeless charm to a whole new level.
Although there are eight posters in all, we're sad to see Nala excluded from the mix. Granted, she didn't necessarily play a huge role in the movie, but if you're going to give a poster to Gilbert Gottfried's squawky Zazu, anything's possible. So think about that, Untreed, while, somewhere, an interior designer puts the finishing touches on the coolest nursery ever.
Check out a few of the posters below, and for more, head to Untreed Studios. »

'Celebrity Wife Swap': Gilbert Gottfried Freaks Out Alan Thicke's Wife
13 March 2013 1:23 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
On "Celebrity Wife Swap," it was quite the blast from the '90s past, as Gilbert Gottfried and Alan Thicke's wives switched places.
But "Growing Pains" star Thicke should’ve looked out, because Gottfried told cameras he was ready to have sex with another woman.
“We should have sex. Yeah, because if this is a swap ... " Gottfried quipped. But Tanya Thicke shot that down fast. “I don’t think it’s that kind of a swap,” she replied.
Gottfried's cheapness was also on display. He likes to shop at 99 cent stores and get free meals where he can. His extreme frugality insulted Alan’s wife Tanya even more than the sex thing, and she walked out when he tried to take her on a date in the kitchen of a restaurant.
But they worked things out, and in the end, the couples both had good experiences.

What It's Like Being Married to Gilbert Gottfried
11 March 2013 7:58 AM, PDT | newser.com | See recent newser news »
Gilbert Gottfried is basically a professional loudmouth—but ask him how he met Dara, his wife and the mother of his two children, and he clams right up. "Open up a little, Gil!" urges the 43-year-old Dara, who met Gottfried, 58, in the late 1990s at a Grammy Awards party and married him in 2007. The two appear on Celebrity Wife Swap tomorrow, with Dara switching places with Tanya Callau, wife of Alan Thicke. Gottfried was reluctant to do the show, but eventually saw a spin on reality TV as what the New York Times calls "a necessary evil for »

Mike Gold, In Praise Of Bad Taste
6 March 2013 5:00 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Solidly castigated for being in bad taste, Seth MacFarlane announced he was not interested in hosting the Oscars again. Watching his reception in horror, Tina Fey said “Hell, no.” So producers announced next year’s host will be Gilbert Gottfried. To be fair, when it comes to MacFarlane I’m not necessarily your go-to guy. I thought Ted was good fun, but I have a hard time watching an entire episode of Family Guy. If I surf past it ten minutes in, I’m fine. If I watch it from the beginning but the phone rings and I actually decide to take the call, I don’t hit the TiVo button. American Dad doesn’t work for me, but it’s better than The Cleveland Show. Robot Chicken might be the finest show in the history of the medium. I loved him on Star Trek: Enterprise. But I really enjoy »

'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice' Recap: 'Naked Balls and Harry Sauce,' oh my!
3 March 2013 8:10 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Episode 1 of "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice" is ominously titled, "The Wolf in Charge of the Hen House." The show opens in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as the returning best of the best -- and worst of the worst -- "Celebrity Apprentice" contestants join Donald Trump to be split into teams.
Trump puts one-time winner Bret Michaels and previous second-place contestant Trace Adkins in charge as team leaders. Donald takes the opportunity to criticize Brett for coming back, and exposing himself to the chance at going home a loser after his first win. Unfazed, Bret takes turns with Trace drafting their teammates. Bret chooses Omarosa Manigault first, determined to harness her negative energy for good. The guys leave Dennis Rodman as the last player picked. (Something tells us that never happened to Rodman in gym class.)
The contestants move to suites at Trump Tower, and convene to choose team names. Omarosa »

6 January 2013 1:00 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Rachael Ray won the first contest, but she's ready for a rematch.
The television cooking star engaged in friendly battle with another -- Guy Fieri -- last year on "Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off," which saw each of them coach a team of celebrity amateur chefs competing for charities. The Food Network series switches coasts as Season 2 launches Sunday, Jan. 6, with new episodes taped in California.
"I told Guy if my team won the first season, we'd go to his turf for the next one," Ray tells Zap2it. "Every day was a separate location, so it was like making a movie per day. We worked these guys and ladies even harder than the first group, and it was incredible."
Among the new contenders: Chilli of music's TLC, comedian Gilbert Gottfried, designer-author Cornelia Guest, actor (and Tori Spelling spouse) Dean McDermott, actress Kathy Najimy, football veteran and Season 12 "Dancing With the Stars" winner Hines Ward, »
