.... an interesting article:
OLYMPIC figure skater Scott Hamilton will toil on "Celebrity Apprentice," The Post has learned.
NBC officials won't confirm anything, but sources say Hamilton will compete on the upcoming season, expected to premiere in January after filming this fall.
He'll join "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis, Joan and Melissa Rivers and Khloe Kardashian, and the rest of the "Celebrity Apprentice" cast yet to be named.
(Dennis Rodman, Tony Danza and Petra Nemcova have been floated as possible contestants.)
The diminutive Hamilton, 50, won the World Figure Skating championship several times before snaring a gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
He's been an ice-skating commentator for CBS and NBC - and hosted Fox's "Skating with Celebrities," which aired in 2006.
Hamilton battled testicular cancer in 1997 and had a benign brain tumor removed in 2004.
He's married to nutritionist Tracie Robinson (they have two kids, Aidan and Maxx).

Celebrity Apprentice 2 Update:
Joe Francis is out golfer Natalie Gulbis is in
Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis will not compete on Celebrity Apprentice 2, but several other D-list celebrities have confirmed they’re on the show, while others are rumored to be participating.
“Donald Trump and I decided to do a different show. I would have added a lot to ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ and I would have been excited to do it, but I’m more excited by this other idea,” Joe Francis told the New York Post, which cites, with no sources (surprise) “resistance from sponsors” over his participation.
Before that, however, Francis confirmed to Hollyscoop that he’d be competing against Khloe Kardashian. “I will beat Khloe Kardashian on the Apprentice,” he said.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump revealed at the U.S. Open that golfer Natalie Gulbis will participate. A few other people who’ve confirmed that they’re cast members include Joan Rivers, who may compete with her daughter Melissa Rivers, according to Reality TV World.
In the unsourced rumors department are Tony Danza, according to Newsday; Dennis Rodman and Baywatch’s Brande Roderick, according to the Chicago Sun-Times; Heather Mills, according to Access Hollywood; Scott Hamilton, according to the New York Post; and Petra Nemcova, according to nearly every story about the cast although there doesn’t seem to be an origin to her rumored casting.

Celebrity Apprentice 2 Update:
Heather Mills 'fired' from The Apprentice
HEATHER MILLS lost a role in the US version of Celebrity Apprentice — after demanding a clause in her contract guaranteeing a place in the final.
Mills, dubbed Mucca and Pornocchio by The Sun for her past as a sex model and liar, was lined up to take part in the reality TV hit — famed in Britain for boss SIR ALAN SUGAR’s catchphrase: “You’re fired.”
But producers at US network NBC got cold feet when she insisted she appear in the final regardless of her success in the show’s tasks.
Producers refused, even though she headed the list of celebrities they wanted for the programme.
And they told 41-year-old Mucca, ex-wife of Beatles legend SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY, that her services were not required.
An NBC source said: “The network were originally very keen on getting her involved.
“They thought it would be a clever move, attracting lots of publicity for the show.
“But her demands were ludicrous and it soon became clear that getting her involved would be a headache.
“It was the final straw when she said she wouldn’t take part unless she was a dead cert for the final — even after it was explained that wasn’t how the show worked.
“She was politely informed that NBC wouldn’t be following up their interest in her appearing.”
The show mirrors The Apprentice in the UK and features billionaire tycoon DONALD TRUMP in Sir Alan’s starring role.
The new series starts filming in a fortnight and will be broadcast next January.

The line-up is still being kept closely under wraps but is rumoured to include US socialite Khloe Kardashian.
Ex-newspaper editor Piers Morgan won last year’s show and went on to bag a judging slot on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.
Mucca appeared on the US equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing With the Stars. But she was booted out after six weeks.

This statement by British THE SUN tabloid editors Gordon Smart and JessRogers
--- Quote ---Ex-newspaper editor Piers Morgan won last year’s show and went on to bag a judging slot on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.
--- End quote ---
is a perfect example of tabloid journalism. Piers Morgan was an original judge on America's Got Talent. The reference here is that he only earned that after winning Celebrity Apprentice is totally ludicrous and typical of British tabloid journalism. It is ironic that Piers Morgan's profession is tabloid journalist in Britain!
