Asked if she expected the decision Stewart was quoted in Fortune magazine that she had been led to believe that her show would be replacing Trump's Apprentice, rather than competing with it.full story...
Maybe the design diva should stick to making pine cone wreaths and stay from the "Donalds" territory or beware of the wrath of the man with the quaff.

Kazakhstan is spitting mad at Da Ali G Show mastermind Sacha Baron Cohen, threatening to sue the comedian because one of his characters, Kazakhstani journalist Borat Sagdiyev, ridicules its people. According to Reuters, Kazakhstan's foreign ministry held a press conference Monday to condemn Cohen's brand of politically incorrect buffoonery.

Oh, one last entry, under the category "Be affraid, be very affraid". Last night Canada's Discovery Channel aired it's final episode of "Canada's Worst Driver" with a look at how Canada's "loser" compaired with the worlds terrors behind the wheel. Let me say, I hope these people NEVER! visit Ontario.
Let me first gloat. Canada, according to the Canadian Safety Council, has the third-lowest rate of traffic fatalities of the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The show’s prototype, Britain’s Worst Driver, was a demolition derby that culminated with the worst of the Worst racing the famously difficult 10-lane Arc de Triomphe roundabout in Paris. The competitor who proved most incapable of negotiating the course — a 53-year-old mum who once confused her accelerator and brake pedal, inadvertently parking inside a neighbourhood pub — was awarded a Jaguar X-Type to accelerate her unwitting campaign of terror.
Canada's entry for the "dame of danger" award was Heather, a 59-year-old nurse from Medicine Hat, Alta., tried to work a five-speed stick shift while caught between a tailgater and a sluggish transport truck. Heather’s qualifications for appearing on Canada’s Worst Driver? In three decades of driving mainly Prairie roads, she totalled 10 automatic cars. So naturally she fell apart slip-sliding a standard transmission up a crowded, icy hill while her husband Ernie, a retired truck driver, sat in the passenger seat moaning, “Clutch in… clutch in!”
My favourite segment of the show was "Worst Cursers". I heard some unique butchering of language from the Canadian's but nothing like the axe job on the queen's language done by the Brits. Second runner up for me went to the Danish. Although I couldn't understand this bad apple sweetie, but at least she swore in a way that almost sounded melodic? Origional Story...
Later,
