Let's discuss what transpired last night on Donald Trump's Mid-town Novella called "Celebrity Apprentice."

Kodak was the corporate benefactor and reaped major free advertising via the challenge of a multi-platform new products launch and rebranding of what a Kodak moment means, these post-film digital days. 

First, is Bret Michaels the person that BlindGossip.com's blind item is referring too? What a whining bandana-ed baby.  "What do I do, give me a task, Sinbad what is my purpose? I need to have direction, what do I do now?  Over and again, ad nauseum; late to wake up, sulky and generally annoying was our rocker man.

For those that missed the blind item, here is an excerpt from BlindGossip.com:

"We thought that the premise of the Celebrity Apprentice was to help raise money for charities by having the contestants perform business- like tasks. We were wrong. The premise is actually to serve as a platform for has-beens to quarrel in the hopes that it gains them the five minutes of camera time they desperately seek. At least that’s the way one of this season’s contestants is playing it. Desperate for a comeback, he is determined to be the most talked-about celeb on the show. He will be, too, if the producers choose to air an incident where he steals something of value from another contestant. He planned on hocking it at a pawn shop to gain more money for his team, but the producers put a kibosh on that at the last second. So now he’s decided to antagonize one person each week until one of them reaches the breaking point and takes a swing at him."

Then, Cyndi Lauper, who is beloved, has her moments too.  She gets lost in her non sequitur reveries and generally goes off the rails, harder to rein in than a bucking bronco.

Next week should be interesting as the women seem to have had a cud full of her meandering non linear thinking ways.  I have money on Holly Robinson-Peete mouthing off first to our "True Colors" singer. But I adore Cyndi and I hope she stays.

And what of Goldberg? Who is Goldberg? Why is he lifting everyone up in the air?

Blago does not disappoint with his skeevy politician speak and general Chicago politics grossness, as witnessed by his taped conversation with his attorney for his upcoming trial. F bombs were hurled once again.

Sharon Osbourne delivered one of her patented zingers when she critiqued the disgraced Pol by remarking his eyes were "too close together" and that he looked "half baked" and needed more time in the oven.

Last night's episode was recapped in video by our friends at NBC for your viewing pleasure.

When Sinbad ignores him, Bret Michaels finally loses his cool around his teammates. 

War Room Chat with Sharon Osbourne Sharon gives great commentary while watching the former governor answer to Donald Trump.

Oh, Cyndi Selita and Summer try their best to manage the eccentric and charming Cyndi Lauper.

You're Fired! So sad, Sinbad. Another comedian gone. Relive the "fired" moment from the episode.

Sinbad's Exit Interview Sinbad gives his point of view on what went wrong and how he feels about being fired.
