With interest in “The Apprentice” waning rapidly, and Trump making more and more of a nuisance of himself by the day, his reality-TV-host crown is ripe for the taking.

Starting this Sunday night on MTV, Jann Wenner will take a swipe at that crown with his own business-based reality show set in the offices of Rolling Stone magazine.

Cocky twentysomethings too big for their britches? Check. Glamorous, camera-friendly setting? Check. Opportunity for cameo appearances by people substantially more interesting than, say, the now-standard Donnie Deutsch appearance on “The Apprentice”? Check and mate.

And on top of all that, Jann has significantly better hair than The Donald, too. Just one more reason I feel compelled to check this thing out. It might still be another reality-TV train wreck…but I’m betting it will at least be an entertaining train wreck — with a damn good soundtrack, to boot.

“I’m From Rolling Stone” will debut on MTV at 10pm Eastern Sunday, January 7.

Both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have canceled their scheduled appearances at Monday night’s Billboard Music Awards, according to multiple reports. Though the nightclub-hopping duo were originally scheduled to co-host the event, those plans were changed when Britney abruptly pulled out of her commitment without giving a reason. A few days later, Paris changed her mind as well:

The hotel heiress canceled an appearance at next week’s Billboard Music Awards because she didn’t like the jokes written for her, according to a spokesman.

“It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers,” her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement. “Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows.”

Uh, yeah. Because when I think Paris Hilton, I think “classy, considerate dame who has no interest in mocking, snubbing, or otherwise seeking to humiliate her peers.” She is instead much more interested in performing every known sex act — as well as several newly invented ones — with her peers’ boyfriends, relatives, and family pets.
