BACKSTABBING, LAZINESS AND A SURPRISE TASK TAKES A TOLL ON THE REMAINING NINE CELEBRITIES ON THE NEXT 'CELEBRITY APPRENTICE' SUNDAY, APRIL 12 (9-11 P.M. ET) ON NBC
NBC Press Release
After the surprising firing of Tionne Watkins and Khloe Kardashian in last week's boardroom, teams Athena and Kotu must recover quickly and get to work on an in-store display for LifeLock this Sunday, April 12 (9-11 p.m. ET) on NBC. The LifeLock challenge, however, is just the beginning for the celebrities as Mr. Trump has another task for both teams before they even have a chance to register who was fired in the boardroom.
To begin, the teams must design and build an in-store display unit and packaging for the company of LifeLock, which provides identity theft protection. Team Kotu, led by pro-golfer Natalie Gulbis, delegates various responsiblities to her team quickly and ignores the obvious tension between team members Joan Rivers and Clint Black. A lackluster Brian McKnight, whose slow pace has the team close to missing deadlines and Jesse James working through an illness, leads team Athena. Both teams present their displays to the CEO of LifeLock and the last-minute decisions made by each team have the executive choosing a clear winner and Mr. Trump firing another celebrity. Before the teams have a chance to wind down, however, Mr. Trump calls them immediately back into the boardroom to begin their next task, auctioning jewelry from Ivanka Trump's boutique for a charity later that night. The teams swiftly get to work but the backstabbing that took place between celebrities in the boardroom affects certain members during the task, and one celebrity feels shunned by their team. A sabotage against one team puts tens of thousands of dollars up for grabs, and a surprise guest star agrees to keep an eye on the feuding celebrities for Trump.
Clint Black, Annie Duke, Natalie Gulbis, Jesse James, Brian McKnight, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Brande Roderick and Herschel Walker are the remaining nine celebrities vying to be The Celebrity Apprentice.

Kardashians Sound Off on Khloe's Celebrity Apprentice Firing
Khloe Kardashian might have to go, but she's not going quietly.
The reality star was fired from Sunday's episode of Celebrity Apprentice – not because of anything she did wrong on the show, but because of a DUI she received in 2007.
By all indications, country star Clint Black was on the chopping block until Trump learned that Kardashian had missed some of the previous week's competition to go to a mandatory class regarding her DUI. "I hate people who drive under the influence," Trump said in the boardroom as he fired Kardashian. "I know three families who lost children to drunken driving."
Kardashian took to her blog to defend herself yesterday. "It wasn't because of my work ethic, it wasn't because I was slacking," she writes, "It was because of my DUI. I don't think I should have been fired for that reason alone. I just wish Mr. Trump would have handled the situation a little differently."
Big sister Kim Kardashian also wrote on her Web site in Khloe's defense. "I was a little disappointed at how she was given the boot," she writes. "She obviously made an awful mistake but definitely has taken responsibility for her actions and we are all very proud of her."
Kim ended her blog post on an upbeat note: "I'm glad she's home."

The Donald Gave Me the Axe
Hello my loves! So as I'm sure you've all heard, The Donald fired me off of Celebrity Apprentice last night. It wasn't because of my work ethic, it wasn't because I was slacking -- it was because of my DUI, one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made that I will forever regret. I will NEVER say that what I did was right, but I think it is completely unrelated to my place on the show and I don't think I should have been fired for that reason alone. I have tried to bring awareness to how serious DUI's are and I am trying to make some right out of my huge mistake.
Oh well...what's done is done, and there's nothing I can do now. I just wish Mr. Trump would have handled the situation a little differently. I guess I was expecting a lot... LOL. I find it weird that he can forgive and take back Tara Conner but he can't do the same with me?! The things people do for ratings!
I met a lot of cool people on the show, many who were really talented. In all honesty, I'm rooting for Natalie Gulbis and Joan Rivers to go all the way... I guess we'll all have to wait and see who makes it.
It was a great experience and I love a new challenge, but I have to say that I was happy when it was over so that I could focus on the growth and success of my clothing store and shooting Keeping Up with the people I love most in the world! Filming Celebrity Apprentice gave me a whole new outlook on Keeping Up. I adore working with my family and this just made it all that much clearer to me.

The Think Link
My new book, Think Like a Champion: An Informal Education in Business and Life will be coming out soon--on April 14th, to be exact. I’m excited about this book because as Robert Kiyosaki says, “it’s the perfect book at the perfect time.” I tend to agree, because one thing we all need now is some inspiration as well as motivation, and this book serves that purpose.
I start each topic covered with a quote, which has proven to be a popular approach. Some people who have skimmed the book mention that they love the quotes because they are diverse and cover the spectrum of time from the Greeks up to the present.
Einstein looked for solutions. That’s something we all have to do these days, and knowing we’re in good company can be helpful. One reason I enjoyed writing this book is because it made me focus on some rock solid principles. My father would send me inspirational quotes when I was in school, and they made me think. That’s the link that was intended--the think link--and it’s a bit like connecting the dots, which happens to be a chapter in the book, Building Connected Thoughts. There’s no point in having a lot of knowledge if you don’t know how to apply it in an effective way.
I have always been grateful to have a mentor like my father, and in many ways this book is a tribute to what he taught me. I am hoping that the thoughts I share with my readers will provide them with guidance and inspiration. I also hope you will take the time to read this book and think about what is being said. We need to be champions now, in every sense of the word.

Dennis Rodman Booted for Booty Grabbin'
"Celebrity Apprentice" reject Dennis Rodman got tossed again -- this time for getting too touchy feely at a posh LA hotel.
Sources tell TMZ Rodman was asked to leave the London Hotel in West Hollywood on Friday after several guests complained about his behavior. We're told Rodman was slapping and groping female guests, as well as yelling obscenities. And get this -- our spies tell us he even scared the children.
A hotel staffer told us, "He is the most obscene and out of control guest I've ever seen up here."
A call to Rodman's rep was not immediately returned.
