Entertainment Report Issue #27a (NCAA Tournament, Celebrity Apprentice, Comic Book Men, Devils, Admirals and more!)

"If you ain't here to party, you picked the wrong place. You picked the wrong Friday night. If you ain't here to party, you'll be mission  out on the best damn time of your life. So go on and throw your card down, knock a shot out and get yourself in the zone. Yeah, you might as well go on and head your ass back home if you ain't here to party."-Luke Bryan


Welcome to a special two part Entertainment Report, part of a very busy week around here.

In these two issues we have full coverage of Wrestlemania weekend, check ins with the NCAA Final and Frozen Four plus all our normal television and sports reports.

On top of all that, tomorrow night I'm getting together with our staff and recording four podcasts back to back covering Wrestlemania, the ACMs and much more. So look out for those.

Let's get on with the show, there's a lot to get to...

In this weeks' show, the teams had to sell homemade artwork in a fundraising task.

Guest Judge: Piers Morgan

Team Change: Trace Adkins got moved to Plan B

Team Plan B Project Manager: Lisa Rinna

Despite Gary not bringing any money and Stephen only bringing in 5k, the team simply raised more money.

Winnings: $404,500 ($225,000-Plan B, $179,500-Power)

Team Power Project Manager: Lil Jon

Simply put they didn't raise enough money. Lil Jon made it clear from the beginning that the two who raises the least would be coming to the boardroom.

Brought Back to the Boardroom: Lil Jon, Omarosa, Dennis Rodman
Fired: Omarosa

Finally! It took three tries but the bitch is finally gone!

Gary Busey Line of the Week:

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Art is only the search! It's not the final form!" (sung)




Episode: Comic Charades

Outside of a very funny game of comic book charades, it was another low key episode. The major items talked about was a 2007 reissue of the 1984 Transformers Megatron, the store's copy if Detective Comics #359 which has the first appearance of Batgirl, a 1967 Aurora model kit is the Bride of Frankenstein and finally a reissue of 1960s model kits for Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and Wolfman. The really cool item in my opinion was a pencil sketch of Nomar from 1975 signed by the great George Perez.

  • Cory Monteith has decided to voluntarily admit himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction. Honestly I give him a lot of credit for realizing he has a problem again before it gets out of hand.
