Retro 7Up Cans: Love Them or Hate Them?

Susannah Chen — Thu, 26 May 2011 11:22:21 PDT

The latest trend in supermarket goods is reviving retro packaging in an effort to appeal to consumers' yearning for the past. So it comes as no surprise that, on the season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice, 7Up revealed two new nostalgia-themed cans inspired by the colorful decades of the '70s and '80s. But lovers of the limited-edition bling take note: it's only available for the next three months. What do you think of it?

Lil Jon and Nene-Inspired Strategies From The Celebrity Apprentice: "Off the Hook"

Diana Nguyen — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 10:03:39 PDT

This week's episode, "Off the Hook," of The Celebrity Apprentice was a Nene Leakes vs. Lil Jon showdown. The reality TV star and rap mogul went head-to-head while leading their teams to produce a commercial for ACN, a telecommunications company. Although I wish I kept count of how many curse words came out of their mouths, I was able to catch some great pointers for working professionals. Check them out:

"We lost against Gary Busey . . . Are you kidding me? - Nene

Their morale was low after last week's loss, but I was happy to see the women regroup and take the next challenge head on. After making several mistakes or losing an account to an inexperienced competitor, as a team leader, you must recognize and correct the team's internal faults.

To see what else Nene and Lil Jon had to say, keep reading.

Diana Nguyen — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 10:18:27 PDT

Here again, more work tips and strategies from this week's episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, "Unhappy Campers." This week's challenge was all about the branding and presentation of Camping World's merchandise, using RVs to sell the camping experience. And though it had some entertaining parts, yesterday's lackluster episode was missing in the usual drama and scheming that has made the show so addicting. Still, I was able to round up seven more savvy tips to help advance you in the career world. Click on to find out what they are.

6 Savvy Strategies From This Week's The Celebrity Apprentice

Diana Nguyen — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 09:35:19 PDT

It was another two hours of strategizing, scheming, and Star Jones-filled fun on The Celebrity Apprentice's latest episode, "Child's Play." We saw Jose Canseco dress up in drag - kind of - and Lisa Rinna outplayed and ejected from the board room; but what's more, we learned several savvy strategies to use in our normal, real-reality careers.

Don't get bullied into a leadership role. - The ladies on team A.S.A.P. are pretty darn cut-throat. They pressured Lisa into taking the project manager role because they (or at least Nene) wanted her ousted. What's the best way to get rid of a competitor? See her fall from above. If you're not ready to take charge, like Lisa, don't. Your failure could be exactly what your competitors want and may lead to your corporate extinction.

Gary Busey Makes the Celebrity Apprentice Worth Watching

Emily Co — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 11:50:36 PST

As last night's premiere of the fourth season of Celebrity Apprentice unfolded, I'm reminded again how much more entertaining it is than the regular Apprentice show. First of all, the cast for this season is unrivaled - plenty of strong personalities and unique characters around. You have Richard Hatch, the first-ever Survivor winner, who stepped on a few toes last night by treating David Cassidy poorly, referring to him as "delicate" and dismissing David when the former child star tried to offer suggestions.

But the person who really made me laugh out loud was Gary Busey and his crazy antics. For example, during the boardroom meeting with the Trumps, somebody's cell phone started ringing. The scene gets more humorous when you see Gary fumbling around with his cell phone and muttering to himself about how to turn the sound off. Later on, Gary tries to articulate how his team, Backbone, performed and ends up confusing everyone. He basically said everything could've been done better and when prompted by Trump to explain what he meant, Gary said it meant his team did better.

I can already sense the drama brewing up with Star Jones and a number of people, and I'm looking forward to see how Star's dynamics with her team members evolve. The cast definitely has colorful personalities, and although Gary gives us a ton of laughs, I have other favorites I'm rooting for. Which contestant are you excited about this season?

Community Moves to Fridays and More From NBC's New Fall Schedule

Becky Kirsch — Sun, 13 May 2012 11:24:02 PDT

NBC is the first network to take center stage at the upfronts this week, which means we'll be hearing more about NBC's new Fall shows in the coming days. But for now, we've got your first peek at the new schedule. Most of NBC's veteran series are staying in their old time slots, but the network has also added The Voice to the Fall lineup, and notably moved Whitney and Community to Friday nights. This has me a bit worried about the fate of Community, since the show has been having a tough enough time as it is, but it could also be a vote of confidence that the comedy's loyal fan base will follow the Greendale gang wherever they go.
