Didn't it seem strange in that episode of The Apprentice a few weeks ago where the teams were selling Gillette Fusion in New York's Times Square that we didn't see any Gillette executives? That's because Gillette is in the process of being purchased by Proctor & Gamble, so they probably didn't want their suits on camera because there was no guarantee the people that would be on camera would still have a job by the time that show was aired. Isn't it ironic, then, that the winning team got to go to that agency and help down-and-out unemployed business people? Hey, maybe that agency will be helping fired former Gillette executives this summer once P & G completes their takeover! Maybe Gillettte execs watched that show and said, "That's where I'll go after P & G fires me!"

Another Apprentice Comment
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE FIFTH EDITION OF "THE BEAU ZONE" ON THE HARD ROCK HEROES WEBSITE FROM APRIL TO AUGUST 2005.
Hey, instead of designing a new Pepsi bottle, how about if the teams on The Apprentice had designed the bottle for that new Trump cologne? What's the matter, Don, baby, wouldn't you allow your candidates a plumb opportunity like that?

The Apprentice's Dove Body Wash Commercial
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE FIFTH EDITION OF "THE BEAU ZONE" ON THE HARD ROCK HEROES WEBSITE FROM APRIL TO AUGUST 2005.
How about that episode of The Apprentice where the teams had to make TV commericals for that new Dove body wash? Did you see the one with the girl stroking the guy's cucumber? That was a great commercial!! Donald Trump and the Dove guy don't know what they're talking about. What Unilever, who makes Dove, should do is air that commercial in nightclubs. They'd get a great response there.
But better yet, here's my idea for how that commercial should have gone: It starts out the same way, in the kitchen with the male and female co-workers and the gal stroking his cucumber. Then it cuts to him standing at a table at a nightclub. She comes over and they exchange glances as she pauses, then walks away with his eyes following her. As she paused to look at him, you could see the Dove body wash sticking out of her purse. Cornball, but in a good way, of course. Then it cuts to a shot of the two of them in the shower using the Dove body wash on each other. For good measure, cut to their feet, where she's still wearing her stilettos. All of this with the appropriate narration, of course. Now how's THAT for a TV commercial? Are you listening, Unilever?

Can casting be both eerie and cornball at the same time? On Hope And Faith, we've seen two flashbacks now to when Hope & Faith's mother was still alive and she's played by Cheryl Ladd. In the present day, their father, played by Robert Wagner, is going out with Hope's gynocologist played by Jaclyn Smith. Both Charlie's Angels from the 70s TV show!!! So we can never see a scene with both of them in it meeting each other where one of them says, "You look familiar. Don't I know you from somewhere?" Unless Hope & Faith bring their mother back from the dead in a seance or something. On top of all that, Cheryl Ladd also plays James Caan's wife on Las Vegas now, and she's with former Beverly Hills 90210-er Vanessa Marcil there. Well, on one of her Hope And Faith flashback appearances, she's there with fellow 90210-er Brian Austin Green, playing himself, as the flashback takes place when 90210 was still on the air! And going back to Las Vegas, even Lindsay Price stopped by Las Vegas for a guest shot working with her fellow former 90210 castmate Marcil a few weeks ago for a late period 90210 reunion! Talk about boggling the mind on so many levels! EYE-YEYE-YEYE-YEYE-YEYE!!!!!!
Hey, here's a task Donald Trump should have given to his candidates on The Apprentice: Develop a winning restaurant in the middle of Winnipeg's new Provencher Bridge! Think they can do it? Maybe Kwame can sign autographs there, too.
I thought it was hilarious in a different way on Newlyweds when Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were talking about Sting and his wife being advocates of tantric sex and she said, "Sting, the singer?" and the way the moment was presented to us on air, we were supposed to think it was another "dumb blonde" moment for Jessica. Hey, that was a legitimate query! Nick could have been talking about Sting, the wrestler!

Let's see if we can start a new catch phrase here. You know how Bill won The Apprentice so now he's going to be the guy in charge of building Donald Trump's new Chicago 90-story tower? Well, let's see if we here at The Beau Zone can give that building an unofficial name. How about.....The BILL-ding! Get it? Bill? Building? BILL-ding? Has a nice ring to it, huh? (Especially with the "ding" in BILL-ding!!)
This was my prediction for the last episode of Friends: Rachel will fly to Paris. Afterward, Ross decides to make one more last-ditch attempt to get her back. He flies to Paris and rents a car. He's sitting in the car in front of her new home. She comes out. But she doesn't see Ross. She looks at the car parked in front of Ross and gives a wide smile to the driver. It's Mr. Big! Rachel
gets in the car and drives off with Mr. Big to Ross' utter dismay. Later, Rachel breaks up with Big when she finds out he's two-timing her with Carrie Bradshaw. Really? Abso-fucking-lutely!!
