Donald Trump announced yesterday that Carrie Prejean would be allowed to keep her crown as Miss California despite the semi-nude photos that have surfaced. Today, Miss California Pageant Director Shanna Moakler has resigned her post.

'Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about
what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best
interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization,' Moakler
tells Us.

'I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting
the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the
contracts I signed committing myself as a youth,' she continues. 'I
want to be a role model for young woman with high hopes of pageantry,
but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am
sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them
the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams.' "

Meanwhile, Katie Rees, who was stripped of her crown as Miss Nevada because of nude photos in 2006, is complaining of a "huge double standard."

'Semi-nude photos are semi-nude photos,' she told E! News.

'I don't know why I am the only one who was punished for their
behavior,' she said. 'I was only 19 when those photos were taken of me,
and it was me in my personal life, far before I was crowned Miss
Nevada. Carrie actually posed for these professional semi-nude photos.

'I think that's worse.' "

And the saga continues...

March 1st - take 2 for Celebrity Apprentice! Who's excited? Anyone? Anyone?

Here is a video featuring this season's interesting mix,comprising host and comedienne Joan Rivers and daughter Melissa Rivers; the ever-eccentric Dennis Rodman; Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton; Keeping Up with the Kardashians sister Khloe Kardashian; R&B singer Brian McKnight; professional poker player Annie Duke and more!

In a new twist, the boardroom will feature a "rotating seat," allowing a variety of famous business leaders and industry legends to join Trump in spirited judgment on tasks for the first time in the series.

Oooh, I can't wait to hear how Donald Trump will respond!  We already know he's not one to shy away from a feud.  Donald claimed that 50 Cent's new reality show, The Money and the Power, is a cheap knockoff of The Apprentice. The rapper responded by calling Donald "senile."

"Donald Trump talking about my show and how it’s a knockoff of The
Apprentice? He’s crazy! "That’s what happens when you get older - you
start to view things differently. First, let me point out (my show) got
the highest ratings.

I said, ‘What’s the matter with Donald?’ He’s got a little age on him.
He must be getting senile." And the hip-hop entrepreneur also took the
opportunity to hand out his own career advice to the property tycoon,
adding: "In this economy, he may want to go sing ‘In Da Club’ instead
of selling real estate!"

Has anybody seen 50's new show? It does sound kind of similar.
