Last week, the Apprenti were tasked with creating a Trump-inspired cologne. I know, I’m pretty grossed out too. We were treated to a view of Trump’s Dali-meets-Versailles monstrosity of an apartment. Aubrey was her usual domineering self as PM, and her team won. Penn got fired. Boo. Continue reading
I love movies. More importantly, I love seeing movies before almost everyone else. Certain movies will get me to the theater at midnight, so I figured I’d see them first and write a review the next day so you can get a real review from someone that isn’t a Hollywood hack.
