But music mogul Cowell, who discovered Boyle on his "Br...

Another season of The Apprentice, another Celebrity version. While it would be nice for Donald Trump to help out our unemployment numbers by actually hiring someone via the show, he has quite an interesting group of celebrities to deal with this season.

Rod Blagojevich: Included because the producers knew the announcement would make a splash (and it did), don't expect the former Illinois Governor to last very long. Remember, Khloe Kardashian was fired for a DUI arrest last season. Expect Rod to scrape together some cash for charity, then get ousted during a bully pulpit from The Don.

Celebs Who Should Not Sing

Singing Celebs
If you are a typical celebrity you usually do not have many abilities except for looking good and possibly acting. But you should not be singing. However, some celebs get ahead of themselves and think since they are so good looking they can do anything.

Singing is a skill that develops over time and takes years to perfect. Just because you are a celebrity does not mean you have the ability to sing.

Heidi Pratt is a prime example of a celeb that has no business trying to sing and dance. Beyonce Knowles has trained for years to become one of the best entertainers in the world, and Hei...

Say what you will about "According To Jim", but it at least it had jokes. Yes, jokes. Remember those? The old set-up, punch line routine intended to make audiences laugh. They used to be a staple of television comedies. Laugh-track or no, comedy shows on television were once designed to simply elicit guffaws from the viewing audience, whether or not we heard them.

But today, the laughs are dying. And this isn't a "Parks and Recreation" kind of demise where the jokes are just bad. Instead, comedies have stopped making jokes altogether.

Consider the comedies on television this sum...
