May have been the lamest/tamest episode of "The Apprentice" last night. Again, one of these truly subjective things, where each team had to design a graffiti ad on the side of a building in Harlem. It was to be an ad for Sony Playstation's Grand Turismo 4. First of all, they each had a graffiti artist who actually did the act of deciding what the concept should look like. Very uneventful boardroom, except that Craig told America that Audrey pretty much rules her two-month-old marriage. Her husband seems to be lazy and no-count. Look for her on-air breakdown next week. A mystifying third series, thus far.

I don't usually read Miss Manners. But this letter was unbelievably funny. What if this singer was a PiL fan? I like PiL, but not in this context. I'd be looking for bridge abutments.

Nikki Finke has the scoop on Chris Rock, hosting the Oscars. He's not really a one-liner kind of comic, so I wonder how he'll be. I love the guy, but I'm predicting a shaky go of it. Nikki taught me a long time ago that the Oscars is usually Revenge Night. Take that, Lauren Bacall. Oscar predictions.

Salt is a big-time killer.

John Chaney has officially gone mad. This is probably the lowest incident in college basketball this year.
