Arnold Schwarzenegger Won’t Return to Celebrity Apprentice Due to You-Know-Who

Forgive the obvious opener, but… … Arnold Schwarzenegger will NOT be back. The actor-turned-Govenor-turned-reality-TV-host said hasta la vista, baby to Celebrity Apprentice on Friday, announcing that he will not return to the NBC series for a second season. The star, of course, took over for Donald Trump as host for the latest installment of this franchise. And that was basically the entire problem Schwarzenegger explained via statement. “I loved every second of working with NBC and Mark Burnett,” the 69-year old said, adding: “Everyone – from the celebrities to the crew to the marketing department – was a straight 10, and I would absolutely work with all of them again on a show that doesn’t have this baggage.” Ah, yes. This baggage . Schwarzenegger is referring to the fact that Donald Trump stayed on as Executive Producer of Celebrity Apprentice, despite being elected President of the United States in November. This cast a controversial shadow over the program before it even premiered in January. “With Trump being involved in the show, people have a bad taste and don’t want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show,” Arnold continued. “It’s a very divisive period now, and I think this show got caught up in all that division.” It didn’t exactly help that Trump actively trash-talked his predecessor over the show’s dwindling ratings. “Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got ‘swamped’ (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT,” Trump Tweeted on Friday, January 6 . He added at the time: “So much for being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14. Now compare him to my season 1. But who cares, he supported [John] Kasich & Hillary [Clinton].” Schwarzenegger responded by slamming Trump as a “skunk,” and later tweeted to the commander in chief himself: “I wish you the best of luck and I hope you’ll work for ALL of the American people as aggressively as you worked for your ratings.” Celebrity Apprentice did struggle in the ratings this season, but it also decreased over the course of Trump’s run. NBC has yet to pick up the show for another run, following Matt Iseman emerging victorious in the season finale that aired last month. In another Tweet, Schwarzenegger addressed Trump as follows: “Please study this quote from [Abraham] Lincoln’s inaugural, @realDonald Trump. It inspired me every day I was Governor, and I hope it inspires you.” Schwarzenegger then went ahead and read the quote in a video. This is what it said: We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Celebrity Apprentice Recap: Who Made It To The Finale?

Changes were afoot on the latest episode of Celebrity Apprentice.  That change came in the form of Boy George being moved over to Team Prima. As you probably already know, Prima has struggled over the course of the season.  They have had a lot of failed competitions, resulting in the team pretty much being annihilated earlier in the season.  The main task was for the groups to demonstrate The Honest Company products with the aim or attracting some new customers.  Boy George was revealed to be the project manager for Team Prima. The team decided to go with the hand sanitizer, stain remover and glass cleaning products.  Brooke made it clear that if Boy should sing during the challenge because it would set them apart from the other team. However, he wanted to do something considerably different.  This worried Brooke because she felt like singing would definitely put them above the competition. Boy felt like Brooke was taking things way too seriously and that she needed to back off.  Brooke then took it one step further by telling Patrick that she was the one who organized the whole process. This rubbed Boy the wrong way because he felt like she was trying to throw him under the bus.  On Team Arete, Laila was the project manager. She thought she had an advantage because she actually used the projects she was trying to add value to. They chose to pitch the multi-surface cleaner, organic healing balm and dish soap.  The team opted to take on a more personal story as Laila was not exactly the most creative person in the process. View Slideshow: Reality TV Star Salaries: Who Makes the Most? Matt worried about Laila’s lack of creativity and voiced his concerns.  Laila kept going off the script which did nothing to help matters.  Team Prima’s presentation was all over the place and you could tell the other team was shocked by the way Boy George was talking about Buddhism.  Jessica revealed that while she liked Team Arete’s showcase, their presentation seemed like more of an infomercial and was not entirely what the client was looking for.  Unsurprisingly, Team Prima took the win and Boy George was handed $50,000 for his favorite charity.  Laila was quick to point the finger at Matt for the loss. She felt Matt undermined her every step of the way and if he had a little faith in her ideas, it could have been a better result.  However, Matt made a solid case for him to stay in the competition. This was his first time being in the bottom, so Arnold decided that Laila’s time was up and sent her packing.  View Slideshow: 27 Reality Stars Who Should Never Be On TV Again Arnie then decided there would be one more elimination and Brooke was sent home because Boy and Matt had more wins over her.  The final challenge found Matt and Boy getting ready to showcase the Carnival cruise experience by creating an ad campaign, hosting a party and producing a 15-minute show.  Matt was told he would have Carnie Wilson, Carrie Keagan and Kyle Richards to help him out, while Boy got to work with Laila, Carson Kressley and Porsha Williams.  The heat was on, but which one of them won? Find out next week on the season/series finale of Celebrity Apprentice.  View Slideshow: Celebrity Apprentice Cast: REVEALED!

Kylie Jenner Flaunts Bikini Body, Dodges Lawsuit on Instagram

It seems like not a day does by that we’re not graced with new Kylie Jenner bikini photos . Kylie has figured out a social media formula that works for her, and she clearly takes an “if ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach to her web presence. (Granted, “people enjoy partial nudity” isn’t the most novel marketing strategy, but few have made it work as well as Kylie has.) The 19-year-old queen of the ‘Gram rarely switches things up, and why should she? She’s found a formula that’s helped make her social media pages some of the most popular and profitable on the Internet: Show a lot of skin; occasionally the same crappy weight loss teas as everyone else; move mountains of lip kits to impressionable young people. Today, however, Kylie switched things up and did something we’ve never seen her do before. Interestingly, it seems she did so not by choice, but rather to avoid a costly and potentially very humiliating lawsuit: Those lip kits that we mentioned? Yeah, they’ve not only made Kylie millions, they’ve forced the cosmetics world to take her seriously as an entrepreneur, and not just Kim’s very ambitious little sister. Of course, the kits are nothing special on their own, and they won’t give you lips like Kylie’s. (You’ll need to drop a sizable chunk of change on ” temporary fillers ” to achieve that effect.) The real key to the success of the kits is the marketing – and for that it seems Kylie may owe a sizable debt to a largely unknown artist named Vlada Haggerty. Kylie has been accused of copying Haggerty’s work for her signature drippy lip logo, and now it seems she’s making it up to the artist with multiple Instagram shout-outs. She posted the photo above earlier this week, with a caption reading: “This really is everything. Check out the wonderful makeup art of @vladamua!” She followed that up with even more praise and another example of Vlada’s work: “Check out this inspiring photograph from @juliakuzmenko and @vladamua!” Kylie captioned the pic. As you may have guessed, this wasn’t a simple case of Kylie acknowledging her creative debt to an artist who inspired her. According to TMZ, Haggerty filed accused Kylie of trademark infringement and filed suit. In documents obtained by the website, Kylie’s lawyers claim that she has a “history of taking Haggerty’s original dripping lip art and passing it off as Kylie’s.” The suit appears to have been settled out of court, and Kylie’s shout outs are likely mandated by the terms of the agreement. Naturally, some fans were quick to call shenanigans. “You are always and will always be a copy cat,” wrote one follower. “Have your own style, swag and body for once in your life… Have a mind of your own Kylie.” Harsh words, but it’s true that Kylie’s lack of originality will likely continue to be a detriment to her career as she gets older. You can’t be Kim Kardashian’s mini-me forever and expect the public to stay engaged. We already have one Kim. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Selfies: A Kandid Kollection

The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 10 Recap: Nostalgia’s a Bitch

The Vampire Diaries really likes to celebrate the past.  On The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 10 , we took a trip into Damon’s mind and there was no vampire in site. In fact, it was littered with past characters who really helped make the episode a poignant affair.  When the episode got underway, Bonnie showed up at the Salvatore mansion to find Damon in a catatonic state. Sybil then revealed she needed help finding the bell.  Caroline decided to help her if it meant saving Damon from his own mind. Bonnie and Caroline entered and noticed straight off the bat that Vicki Donovan was very much alive.  Bonnie thought she had been bitten by Damon, but it turned out Vicki was just a normal teenager who had no idea what vampires were.  Caroline, however, found out the hard way that her mother was not a fan of vampires. Caroline tried to join forces with her mother to locate Damon because of the animal attacks, but her mother kidnapped her because she knew she was a vampire.  Back in Mystic Falls, Stefan met up with Seline who told Stefan that if he rings the bell twelve times it would bring hell because it would destroy everything for miles, giving Stefan a lot of souls for Cade.  It was great to finally learn what the damn bell did, but it’s also a little farfetched how long it’s not been used for. Where was this when the heretics had taken over the town? Stefan compelled Matt to ring the bell if he did not forgive Damon for murdering Vicki before the hour was up. As you can probably expect, Matt started ringing the bell.  Back in Damon’s mind, Stefan showed up and Damon had a war of words with him. Damon blamed Stefan for turning him into a vampire and making him a murderer.  Damon then snapped out of his funk and killed Stefan. He then made his way to stop Matt from ringing the bell twelve times. Watch The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 9 Online The pair actually bonded. Damon apologized for murdering Vicki and Matt understood that Damon saved the town.  He said that goes a long way for him and Matt made off for the police station. He decided he wanted to become Sheriff again, while Damon revealed that he’s always had a good relationship with sheriffs in town.  Will these two seriously become friends?! Finally, Sybil and Seline met up and called a truce. They were tired of fighting each other, so decided to move on with their lives. However, Cade showed up and revealed that the ladies were finished helping him because they were so unreliable.  The pair combusted into flames and Cade said that he was going to take matters into his own hands in order to get the results he wants.  What a riveting episode, you guys! Hopefully the rest of the season manages to match this episode’s quality.  With Nina Dobrev on her way back as Elena , it sure seems like the show is surprisingly going out on a high.  What did you think of all the drama?
