Video phones have been around a long time. How come you think this one will take off when the others didn't? (I just looked at it online. It doesn't seem much different than the older kind except a clearer picture) eta: that was a serious question, not sarcasm or anything...LOL It just doesn't look much different than the old kind so I was wondering what's better about it.

The features alone make it great. Call waiting, call display... all those phone features. The screen becomes a digital photo frame when not in use. Unlimited anytime long distance in all of North America. Software based which means they constantly upgrade it behind the scenes. The price is great. Customer service is very good and in your own country. Portable phone number. Take it with you anywhere in the world and it remains your own number meaning that if someone calls you from US, it rings in the country where you are as a local call. (I hope I explained that right) Everything is going digital so in the future everyone will have one I guess.

Here are the celebs for the new season, announced today- the season starts March 1st. Clint Black (country singer) Andrew "Dice" Clay (comic) Annie Duke (probably the best female poker player in the world) Tom Green (comic) Natalie Gulbis (LPGA golfer- sorta an Anna Kornikova-type, but she's a decent player and has won tournaments) Scott Hamilton (figure skater) Jesse James (best known for the series "Monster Garage") Claudia Jordan (TV model- best known for "The Price is Right" and "Deal or No Deal"-she's case #1 there) Khloe Kardashian (Kim's younger sister) Brian McKnight (singer/songwriter) Joan Rivers (comedian/fashion critic) Melissa Rivers (fashion critic/Joan's daughter- I hope Trump puts them on different teams just for the fun of it) Brande Roderick (actress/Playboy Model) Dennis Rodman (former NBA player/two-time reality show winner) Hershel Walker (former NFL star) Tionne Watkins (singer- she was the T in the group TLC/ actress) it's an interesting lineup, and actually, several of them have business interests...should be an interesting season.

I actually like a few of the incoming celebs. However, not liking Joan or her daughter. Can't they ever do anything without the other being there? Is Joan running interference for her daughter or something? I don't get it. Does anyone know when this show starts? Thanks.

Weird cast. Seems like a joke. Every season it seems more and more not real, just for tv entertainment.

Annie Duke is my favorite female poker player. You are correct that she is probably one of the best female poker players in the world!!

Once again never heard of the majority. Oh well, I always liked the concept of the Apprentice so I don't care if they are "real" celebs or average joes...

I will root for Annie Duke (she's from my town). Dennis Rodman is smarter than he acts.

Jesse James: (from wikipedia)
quote:[edit] Career After several years as the bodyguard for Danzig, and, occasionally, for other heavy metal bands such as Slayer and Soundgarden,[1] in 1992 Jesse opened West Coast Choppers in his mother's garage. The company grew quickly and soon moved to a larger facility. In 2000 the Discovery Channel made the documentary Motorcycle Mania, which chronicled Jesse's everyday life and was to became one of the highest rated shows in the history of the network.[citation needed] Following the success of the documentary, the Discovery Channel approached Jesse with an offer to host a new show called Monster Garage where James and a crew of mechanics modified vehicles under a short deadline. Jesse later established Payupsucker Productions, under which he produced shows like History of the Chopper, Iraq Confidential with Jesse James and Green Scream, in which Jesse plans to break the land speed record with an eco-friendly hydrogen car. West Coast Choppers employs 50 workers in an 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) facility and produces 12 to 14 custom bikes each year for select customers and companies. About 200 bikes have been built at West Coast Choppers. The company has started modifying cars as well, with about 15 cars constantly being in their shop at different stages of modification. [edit] Other activities One of James' latest ventures is the Cisco Burger restaurant, which opened on April 28, 2006, just down the street from West Coast Choppers. The 1950s style hamburger stand - named after his beloved pit bull who is now deceased - features Kobe beef burgers, low-fat burritos, organic vegetables, and biodegradable wrappings. Other branches of the "West Coast Family" include the Chopperdogs fan club and Jesse's Girl clothing line. Since 2006 James has published Garage magazine.[2] James has also built and is racing an off-road Trophy Truck and a Figure-8 race car. West Coast Choppers is also sponsoring race teams in Top Fuel Drags and Super Late Model NASCAR. James recently bought Austin Speed Shop, which builds custom cars including a Mercury for Jesse himself. Through James' show "History Of The Chopper" there are also glimpses of his involvement with the Hells Angels and other 1% outlaw motorcycle clubs. [edit] Personal life James has two children - a daughter, Chandler, and a son, Jesse James, Jr. - by his first wife, Karla. He also has a daughter, Sunny, by his second wife, Janine Lindemulder, an adult film star/producer, and a former Penthouse model,[3]; however, he had no participation in her life until early 2007. Sunny was born January 2004. On July 16, 2005 James married actress Sandra Bullock; they met when Bullock arranged for her eight-year-old godson, who was a fan, to tour the set of Monster Garage.[4]
Oddly, I had read about him recently because his second ex-wife has been in the news lately for something like tax evasion and of course they have played up the "adult film star" part and that she was pregnant when Jesse met Sandra Bullock .. and that the second ex wife was the nurse on the cover of the Blink-182 CD Enema of the People. Only a few of these people interest me much, but I'm not a fan of the show in general and celebrity in particular and yet if it airs at a good time for my schedule, I'll check it out and often you end up liking or learning about someone you never even heard of. Dennis may be smart but not so smart at the PR part of running a business.. like getting along with the community, following rules and so on, but that wouldn't be a hinderance for this show.

I think what we learned last time is that the only thing that matters is which contestant has the richest (and most generous) associates. Business skills help, but usually the money is what wins the tasks. Anyone look like they might have a lot of rich friends willing to indulge them? At least Joan Rivers should do well at the QVC task they're always given. She's got plenty of experience with the shop-at-home channels.

Yep.. and Dennis Rodman, while he drove the city and county crazy would win over SOME of his neighbors by inviting them to his loud wild parties.

I would guess they will eliminate them being able to call in rich friends for all tasks this time
