SPOILER FOR APPRENTICE 6 (only here because the section for next season hasn't opened yet).

Published in the Las Vegas Review Journal Gossip Column:

'APPRENTICE' TO VEGAS

That whirlwind July 5 filming here of Season 7 of "The Apprentice" will air in February during a one-hour prime show. Donald Trump plans to time the show's opening to the start of sales for the $1.5 billion Tower II. The apprentices were given the task of developing a campaign to sell the tower.

Trump tells Carolyn: 'You're fired!'
Kepcher, blonde assistant of 'The Apprentice,' loses job after Trump tires of her.
August 31 2006: 9:45 AM EDT


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Carolyn Kepcher, the blonde co-star of Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice,' has been fired.

The 36-year old sidekick, who in addition to her role on the show ran the Trump National Golf Club in posh Westchester County north of New York City, was fired earlier this week.

Trump's daughter Ivanka has replaced Kepcher in the role, while Trump's son Don Jr. is the successor to the 78-year old real estate lawyer George Ross on the show.

The show's Web site states Ivanka and Don Jr. will "fill in for" Kepcher and Ross "during multiple episodes of 'The Apprentice'" in the fifth season.

Ross is still "very much a part of the company," Rhona Graff of the Trump Organization said, but because the show is taped in Los Angeles, his appearances on it will be limited this season.

Graff said Trump wishes Kepcher well but had no other comment on the matter.

An article citing unnamed sources in Thursday's New York Post, which first reported the story, indicated Kepcher's lack of focus as a reason for the firing.

Kepcher had agents at ICM handling book and TV offers, while Westport Entertainment managed her speaking engagements and product endorsements, the newspaper reported.

Trump had had trouble reaching her recently as she had been away on a trip to give a speech, the sources told the newspaper.

A source knowledgeable in the matter told the Post that Trump advised Kepcher to "take some time off and spend it with her family, and then get another job."

Kepcher is married and has a son, Connor, 6, and a daughter Cassidy, 4.

If you want to work for the Donald, you'd better not get anywhere near to being as in demand as he is. Sounds like Carolyn is a victim of her own notoriety.

I am shocked that she let this happen.

However I could never figure out what the big deal was over her. I bet this is going to be parodied on Saturday Night Live, Jay Leno for sure.

Marameko I am shocked that she let this happen.

There really aren't enough details to know yet what went down. It may have been she who decided to go and Trump's ego and PR people spun it differently. Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.

She may have been planning to split from him and he jumped to do the severing first for image reasons. Not uncommon either.

Or perhaps a little fame went to her head and she pushed the limits.

I liked Carolyn and what she brought to the show and I have to say replacing her with his daughter is a stellar idea. I am impressed with her presense, intelligence and style. She will fill her shoes very well.

I lked Carolyn as well. As much as it may be nepotism, Trump's daughter has been excellent on the show.

There is nothing wrong with nepotism. Nothing at all. Most of us would hire our kids if they were qualified for the job and many do whose kids don't know a thing! I would definately hire my son's if I owned a business that would insure them a solid future. Why not?

I like Ivanka -- even Tim Gunn admired her when she was a guest judge on Project Runway -- not just for her fashion sense but for her in-depth analysis and articulation. Don Jr. on the hand -- bleh. Gimme' George any day and twice on Sundays!

Hope Carolyn does well w/out the Trump -- she appears to be a real class act!

Good things are being said about Don Jr in the business world. Apparently he is doing a good job and very bright.

I think Carolyn will do just fine. She has an excellent reputation and outside of the boardroom, she is known to be very entertaining, intelligent and personable. Most of the prior contestants praised her to high heaven when doing interviews. I've seen her on another show and she has a good personality and seems to be really smart and fun.

"The Donald " always had glowing comments about Carolyn,George and other employees in the Trump organization. If she had been planning on leaving his ego would never let her get even two steps ahead of him.Somehow she angered him.

From the Apprentice 5 website:

Congratulations to Sean on becoming the next Apprentice! And stay on the lookout for Season Six premiering in January, when The Apprentice heats up in Los Angeles.

I was watching one of the cable news channels, I think it was MSNBC and was pleasantly surprised to see Rebecca doing the 1/2 hour news update. I think it was during a program titled The Most. She looked great.

Also, I've been hearing that Guiliana Depandy from E Online has been dating Bill from the Apprentice. I guess that would be Bill Rancic from Season 1?

Well, not really the latest scoop on the show. But since this was the most recently active thread here, I thought I'd post here....

In one discussion, I mentioned that Lenny reminded me of an actor I'd seen around, but couldn't say who. The actor usually plays some sort of Mobster type bad guy. IIRC, we never did quite pinpoint who he reminded us of. And I said if I ever did figure it out, I'd post.....

Well, I think I finally saw the actor he reminded me of!

To refresh our memory....

Here's a pic of Lenny




And....a pic of actor Jonathan Banks!

Jonathan Banks on IMDB.

LOL. It only took me 6 months to figure it out!!

He's from Wiseguy! :-) That was one of my favorite shows -- especially the first season. Wonder if it's out on DVD??

Well the new season starts 1/7 (sunday nights)

The latest TV Guide has a couple of new twists...

-Winning team stays in a mansion...losing team stays in some tents they construct in the mansion's backyard....

-The Project Managers no longer are chosen from week to week by both sides. Whoever is PM on the winning team stays PM until their team loses.

-The winning PM also gets to be in the boardroom commenting on the losing team, gathering information that could help them or their team later on...

Does anyone know of a place where you can find out "where are they now"? I would love to know who is still with Trump, who has flopped etc.
