Bill And Giuliana Rancic Offer Healing and Hope To Breast Cancer Victims

Here's a couple I can say I knew way back when...Giuliana as an upbeat entertainment reporter and Bill, the first winner of Donald Trump's “The Apprentice.”

I've watched this couple through every step of their relationship, from the first meeting as Giuliana interviewed Bill, giggling and flirting with him, to their wedding, home-building, attempts to have a baby and most recently, Giuliana's bout with breast cancer.

While Giuliana's cancer has been widely reported on, faithful viewers of her show with hubby Bill, “Giuliana & Bill,” will experience it with her on a far more intimate level. Giuliana and Bill have not been afraid to show their lives; the good, the bad and the ugly, to the American viewing public. And when things have been good, they have been beyond what most of us can imagine – fabulous homes, celebrity experiences and trips all over the world, but when they are bad, we can feel their heartache and pain through failed fertility treatments, a miscarriage and now, the breast cancer.

I've seen many ugly comments online about Giuliana recently, many who say they can't feel sorry for her because she is “rich,” and many who think she is using breast cancer, of all things, to further the popularity of her show. Give me a break! Who in their right mind would want cancer for ANY reason? As for her being wealthy, yes, Giuliana and Bill have done well for themselves, but nothing has been handed to them. They both have worked very hard to be where they are at and both donate money and time to numerous causes, feeling it is their duty to use their celebrity for greater good and not just as a way to sell clothing or perfume or hype a new CD.

Don't like them, don't watch...see how simple that is?!

Aubrey O Day Taking Names and Kicking A on The Apprentice

Aubrey O'Day, perhaps best known as a contestant on season three of “Making The Band” and winning a spot in the Sean “Diddy” Combs produced band, Danity Kane, is now a front-runner on NBC's “The Apprentice.”

Sean Combs fired Aubrey O'Day from Danity Kane after accusing her of trying to expand her own fame at the expense of the band. He was not happy with her newly “sexed up” image and thought she had changed from the eager and enthusiastic woman she had once been.

I can see a little of what Mr. Combs may have been talking about. On “The Apprentice,” Aubrey has a way of taking over the tasks assigned to the celebrity teams. In most instances, she is the only one vocal enough and brave enough to even put ideas on the table and has dubbed herself, as well as fellow contestants comedienne Lisa Lampanelli and singer Debbie Gibson, the “creative” members of the team. In Donald Trump's boardroom, she has been well-spoken and assertive in defending herself and some on her team.

Seeing Aubrey and her flaming red hair on the first episode, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I knew of her from her work with Danity Kane, but had also heard the reasons that Sean Combs fired her and wasn't sure what camp to believe. After seeing her perform on “The Apprentice,” I have to say that I am having a difficult time believing the reasons cited my Combs for her firing as all I see if a very self-assured, mature and intelligent 28-year-old woman.

Perhaps that was more intimidating to Sean Combs than anything else.
