I saw this commercial for the new Guitar Hero for the first time yesterday, and I was completely unprepared for what happened.  You get the Risky Business motif right away, and then A-Rod, Tony Hawk, and Michael Phelps — the world’s best in their respective sports — slide into view and look like dorks.  That much I understand.  That much I expect that from A-Rod and Phelps.

But then Kobe comes out as the singer, and holy hell he really sells it.  For a guy who’s always so cold and calculated — from the hardcourt to Colorado hotel rooms — I have to say, I was really impressed.  Although I would have been more impressed if he was only wearing tighty-whiteys.  C’mon, I can’t be the only one who wants these men wearing fewer clothes!  Hello?  Anyone?

Donald Trump is rounding up famous people for the first installment of "Celebrity Apprentice," and like most "celebrity" reality shows it will feature people whose careers are already in the shitter or moving quickly in that direction.  And there's a surprising number of sports figures on the list.  Page Six writes:

In the meantime, Trump says he's already signed an eye-popping list of A-listers, B-listers and has-beens to be subjected to his notorious "You're Fired" treatment.  They include: Jim Cramer, Carmen Electra, Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, George Foreman, original "Apprentice" villain Amorosa, Kimora Lee Simmons, Pete Rose, Dana Patrick, Tony Hawk and Jeff Gordon.

Of course, it's not Amorosa but Omarosa.  And "Dana" Patrick is probably race car driver Danica Patrick, although I suppose it could be Dan Patrick, who has some free time these days.  Whatever, man, it's Page Six.  You want them to give you gossip AND spell names correctly?  Well, Your Majesty, you can take your extra 75 cents and buy a New York Times if you think copy editing is so fucking special.

My money's on Kimora Lee Simmons.  She already knows that the way to get a start in business is to fuck someone with a lot of money.  So unless Carmen Electra puts out for Trump or Danica Patrick learns how to give lap dances, the competition is pretty much over.
