New Apprentice Participants
Sure you might quibble with NBC's definition of celebrity, but Donald Trump's latest incarnation of The Apprentice is shaping up to be some must-see trainwreck TV. The Peacock just announced the 16 participants for the second installment of The Celebrity Apprentice, which will once again begin the season by pitting the men against the women. And what a bunch of men and women they are... Caustic mother-daughter duo Joan andMelissa Rivers, former TLC songbird Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, ex-Baywatcher Brande Roderick, reigning first family of reality sisterKhloe Kardashian, World Series of Poker champ Annie Duke, pro golfer Natalie Gulbisand Deal or No Deal briefcase holder Claudia Jordan are on the female team. Competing on team testosterone: Sandra Bullock's other half and former Monster Garage host Jesse James, funnyman Tom Green, Olympic gold-winning figure skaterScott Hamilton, erstwhile NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman, infamous foul-mouth comic Andrew Dice Clay, former Heisman winner and NFL star Herschel Walker, country crooner Clint Black and R&B hitmaker Brian McKnight. Once again, nepotism will be alive and well on The Celebrity Apprentice, as Trump will be joined in the boardroom by offspring Ivanka and Donald Jr. Old colleague George Ross will also stop by to lend some sage advice, as will a group of so far unnamed industry leaders, who will fill a "rotating seat" of judges on each task. The celebrities will be competing not only to succeed first-season winner Piers Morgan as the Celebrity Apprentice, but to earn funds for the charity of their choice. The new season kicks off March 1. Here's the complete list of competitors and their charities of choice:

You are Beautiful.
It was the first nice day of spring so I decided to go to Central Park. I found a nice plot of grass to lay down on and eventually fell asleep. When I awoke this was folded up behind my head.
Connecticut man's last lotto ticket wins $10M for widow
DANBURY, Conn. — On the day that Donald Peters died, he unknowingly provided financial security for his wife of 59 years and their family. Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store on Nov. 1 as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife Charlotte. Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury. On Friday, his widow cashed in one of the tickets: a $10 million winner which, in her grief over her husband's death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers. "I'm numb," Charlotte Peters, 78, said at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Rocky Hill. Donald Peters usually bought the tickets for 10 weeks at a stretch, so the winning ticket he bought Nov. 1 for the Dec. 2 drawing was among several that Charlotte Peters put aside as she, their three children and two grandchildren coped with his sudden death. "I was in the grocery store and I had it checked and they told me I was a winner," she said. "I had no idea how much it was." She said she thought she had won $6 million but was surprised to learn from lottery officials she'd won $10 million. Charlotte Peters has 60 days to decide whether to take a $6 million pre-tax lump sum payment or stretch the winnings into 21 yearly payments of almost $477,300 each. She does not yet know what she will do with the money. "I've always wanted a Corvette, but I don't think I'll buy one. I'll stick to a small car. I might go to Mohegan Sun," she said, referring to the casino in Connecticut. "I'm going to go home and sit and think." The Peters children think their father would have appreciated the irony. "He'd be very mad, he just passed away and she won a lot of money," said Brian Peters, one of the couple's three children. "He'd say, 'Figures!'"
