...adapts itself to this world with a mix of personality interviews (Donald Trump, Reba McEntire), in-studio performances (Missy Elliott, Enrique Iglesias) and celeb gossip. It's like Total Request Live but older, or Entertainment Tonight but with more screaming fans. Granted, nobody asked for either one, and On-Air was shaky in its first week. Seacrest may be better suited to the more controlled Idol than to unpredictable live variety. When Richie brought a pair of goats with her to plug her rural reality show, one of the beasts did what well-fed goats do, all over the stage...

Keep large-and small-cap stock funds, junk bonds, real estate, foreign stocks and Treasuries. But dividend payers should trump them...
...take on the dining business in The Restaurant. The challenges, which make up the bulk of the episodes, are cleverly designed and guarantee dramatic sparks.

Trump and Burnett, trying to distinguish The Apprentice as the brainy reality alternative, like to say there is "no dating" on it. That's not true. The men and women alike try to win Trump's heart, to learn what moves him, to find...
...Mary Deily, a professor of economics at Lehigh University who has studied the decline of Big Steel. Today the failure of a big manufacturer in the region "is not going to be as devastating," she says. In this new world, office-supply makers apply for patents, better processes can trump cheaper products, and the most valuable raw material is an educated worker. --With reporting by Joseph R.
