On TV last night, John Rich and the men of Team Backbone stayed alive on Celebrity Apprentice when they were judged to have written a better children’s book than the women. Meatloaf played project manager for the men’s team, and they put together a book about acceptance, using Lil Jon as their primary character. The women’s team, led by Lisa Rinna, wrote their book about finding the roar of your inner lion. Tasked with performing their story in front of a group of pre-schoolers, the men’s team dressed as young students and ended up singing part of the book to the youngsters. Their fault lay in not presenting the book to the audience as it was being read and performed. The women’s team dressed as animals for a very childlike skit; their fault was ultimately the size of the font in the printed book. For something that The Donald offered to publish for children across the country to have and hold, the font and presentation of the book counted for more than the skit. The women lost, and after a heated boardroom discussion, Lisa was fired for not working hard enough to defend herself. Donald Trump announced that proceeds from the sale of Backbone’s book will also go to Meatloaf’s charity.
And here's a heartwarming story to start the week. Jared LaDuke, a 23-year old from Wisconsin serving in Iraq, had his life flipped upside down when he was injured in a blast during his tour of duty. It was months before he was finally able to return to the States and begin rehabilitation at a Texas hospital, meaning his family would have to move to the Lone Star state as well. After months of living in housing provided by Operation Homefront, Jared, his wife and 2-year old son moved out on their own with some help Tim McGraw. Tim surprised the LaDukes at their new apartment, which he and Operation Homefront with the help of Outback Steakhouse had completely furnished. Jared told his hometown newspaper that life has been much better since their surprise visit from Tim.
