LOS ANGELES, Calif. (November 19, 2007) – At a locked-down news conference in Manhattan last month, the cast for “Celebrity Apprentice” was introduced to members of the press. Everyone was sworn to secrecy. Now the secret can be told, says NBC, which made public Monday the names of the cast members. Not that they needed any introduction. Not all of them, anyway. Not Omarosa, remembered for making everybody mad as a contestant on the first “Apprentice” season in 2004. Why did Omarosa agree to come back? “I did it for redemption,” she told reporters. Vincent Pastore (aka “Big Pussy” from “The Sopranos“) was also instantly recognizable.

BEACHED ‘IDOLS’: Jordin Sparks, who is no stranger to performing cover songs, talked to about her current gig on the “American Idol” tour. The “Idol” champ revealed that she and her fellow Idols have enjoyed the Florida sun and surf as they prepped for the tour, and she even rode a Waverider for the first time! “It’s like a Jet Ski, which I have driven before, and I just had a blast,” she reportedly said. “It was me, my mom, Blake [Lewis] and Chris [Richardson]. It was really relaxing. There was a Jacuzzi, and we swam in the ocean.” Sparks also remarked that there hasn’t been a lot of time for the Idols to enjoy the night life so far, but they do manage to have fun. “We get off pretty late from these rehearsals, but Gina [Glocksen] had a party because it was her birthday this past week. We went to her aunt and uncle’s beach house, which wasn’t very far from the hotel. We went to Outback Steakhouse after that and ate. It’s been just great.”

FEELING ‘LOST?’ PICK UP YOUR PHONE!: And finally, some assurance from the producers of “Lost” that their show will not end in a blackout, as “The Sopranos” did (much to many fans’ dismay). Speaking to a crowd at the PROMAX conference in NYC, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse offered up some tidbits on the show’s future, reports . “I’m not sure there is any ending that will satisfy everyone,” Cuse reportedly said. “Our hope is that the ending will be … the logical conclusion of the story.” While “Lost” viewers will have to wait until February to see the next TV episodes, Cuse and Lindelof said in the fall there will be a series of “Lost” mobisodes featuring the entire cast and rolling out first on Verizon Wireless and then probably appearing on ABC.com. Cuse said the mobisodes, about 90 seconds each, will give the hardcore “Lost” viewer more information that they probably weren’t going to get through the show itself.

NEW YORK, NY (May 30, 2007) — Back in December, we called the Donald Trump/Rosie O’Donnell battle “the feud that just won’t die.” Now here we are, over five months later, and the jabs are still flying.Access spoke with the Donald yesterday, and Trump — true to form — did not hesitate when asked to give his perspective on Rosie’s sudden departure from “The View” last week.“Well, I wasn’t surprised, because she’s a very self-destructive person,” Trump said. “She’s unbelievably self-destructive…I sort of predicted it a few months ago when we had our little ‘spat.’”‘Spat’ may be an understatement, since the feud between the two outspoken stars has often been quite bitter. It began on the December 20th episode of “The View,” when O’Donnell accused Trump of staging a Miss USA press conference to drum up buzz for his show “The Apprentice.” Rosie mocked Donald’s hair and referred to him as a “snake oil salesman” on that episode, and Trump retaliated later by mocking Rosie’s weight and calling her a “big fat pig,” the name-calling and insults have been thrown both ways.

THINGS UNSPOKEN: And finally, Oprah Winfrey is reportedly “shocked” and “disappointed” to hear that her father, Vernon, is writing a book about her called “Things Unspoken,” says . Winfrey reportedly said she laughed when she heard that THE NY DAILY NEWS called her about a scoop: “One of my assistants said, ‘The Daily News is calling. They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.’ I said, ‘That’s impossible. I can assure them it’s not true.’ “But then my sister said, ‘I think you should call your father.’ I called him and it turned out he is writing a book. The worst part of it was him saying, ‘I meant to tell you I’ve been working on it.’” Oprah reportedly says that she and her father have good relationship these days, which is why the news was jarring for her. “I was upset. I won’t say ‘devastated,’ but I was stunned…I would have preferred to have known my father was working on this. It would have been a nice gesture, a courtesy.”

FALL FALLOUT: While Dane may be McSteamy, Comedian George Lopez is reportedly steaming. The star of “The George Lopez Show” reportedly tells that his series was “unceremoniously” canceled by ABC, who failed to renew it for next season after five years on the air. “TV just became really, really white again,” he is quoted as saying about the cancellation. According to the report, Lopez said Steve McPherson, ABC president of prime-time entertainment, called him over the weekend to explain that “financially” it wasn’t working out, that the network would lose money if it picked up the show again. But that explanation doesn’t sit well with Lopez, who remarked that his show out-performs other shows that did get renewed. “They dealt with us from the bottom of the deck,” Lopez reportedly said. “Which is hard to take after what was a good run.”
