Ian Ziering just posted his project manager blog from last night’s edition of The Celebrity Apprentice, and used it to take a subtle shot at Kate Gosselin on the other team.
Here it is:
Hi, everyone!
I stepped up as Project Manager this week, not because I’m a big golfer, but because Mr. Trump said the winner was going to win a LOT of money for their charity. As you may know, the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation is the charity I’m fighting for, and if you know anything about what EB is and there’s a beating heart in your chest, you’re gonna want to do something to stop it.

John came to the presentation himself with a golf putt analyzer. Perfect! I called on my friend Pam, who puts together all the parties for the Patron Spirits company. She not only donated product for our cocktails, she also put me in touch with Larry at Abel McCallister Designs. They provided a yellow chaise lounge and matching umbrella – exactly the same as the ones used at the pool of the Trump International Doral Miami. They also made
