Joan Rivers Sued By Former Manager

Joan Rivers is being sued by bitter ex-manager Billy Sammeth, who claims the comedienne hasn't paid him for resurrecting her "dormant career," according to TMZ.com. The former personal manager said he's been stiffed out of at least $179,000, and if that wasn't enough, he never got his 10 percent cut from Joan's $200,000 check that she won on "Celebrity Apprentice."

He's further insulted that the 70-something funnygal and the people behind the documentary "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work" defamed him by making him appear to be a no-show manager. So he's suing both Joan and the film's production company for at least $2.2 million, said the celebrity Web site.

Lindsay Lohan An Appentrice?

It seems everyone wants to bring the Lindsay Lohan trainwreck to their shows. First Dr. Drew tried to nab her for Celebrity Rehab and now Donald Trump has approached her for Celebrity Apprentice 4.

Lindsay's mom, Dina Lohan told People Magazine, "Donald approached Lindsay about being on Celebrity Apprentice, so we’ll see where it goes. I think it’s a great idea for her, but Lindsay has two movies coming up, so I don’t know if Lindsay has time. It may conflict with her schedule."

I like how Dina tries to make it look like Lindsay is actually busy working. The only thing these shows may conflict with are her drinking and partying. And what movies is she working on? She got kicked off the only movie we knew of.

Lindsay still thinks she's a movie star and sees these shows as beneath her, but if she continues as she is, she'll be begging to do one of these shows in no time.

The Train Wreck Theory

While Bret Michaels' condition remains stable but critical, ratings for Celebrity Apprentice have gone up since he was hospitalized. 

I attribute the increase to the train wreck theory – that when something bad happens, there is that almost morbid curiosity to watch. Hopefully in Bret's case, there will be a happy ending and by happy ending I don't mean the kind you get from a masseuse, although I wouldn't mind getting one myself.

Even though his Apprentice team did crap and he was probably the worst on the team, Bret wasn't fired from last night's episode. NBC must be giddy over that – I'm sure if they could re-edit the whole season to show Bret winning, they probably would.

Motherchuck and all the trailer trashy hos lining up to be in Rock Of Love 4 are rooting for Bret's speedy recovery.
