Both Jeremy Clarkson and Jemima Khan were forced to deny weekend rumours that they have individually taken out gagging orders preventing intimate photos of the pair from being published.

Perhaps it's because the previous series only seemed to end a few months ago, but after two episodes, "The Apprentice" already seems to be getting a little repetitive.

After a brief interval "The Apprentice" returned to our screens this week, for a brand new series in which the winner will get a £250,000 investment into their own business from Lord Sugar.

Writing on the Telegraph's blog section today, Andrew M Brown, recounted an incident in which he discovered that his local library does not stock Tintin books on the grounds that they are not "politically correct".

On the same day she released her seventh album, "Femme Fatale," she appeared on "Good Morning America" and announced a summer co-headlining tour with Enrique Iglesias.

There have been many claims and rumors circulating the Internet this past weekend that Natalie Portman used a dance double in "Black Swan."

Their choices, which are steeped in tradition, include two choirs, one orchestra, and the fanfare team from the Central Band of the Royal Air Force.

Yesterday the 2010 series of the Apprentice finally came to an end with Lord Sugar declaring Stella English to be the winner of the much coveted six-figure-salary job at his organisation.

In the penultimate episode of the Apprentice the five remaining candidates faced their toughest challenge yet. They had their grandiose claims about themselves challenged and examined by a tough team of Lord Sugar's henchpersons.

On the day that the OECD published its international league tables showing that Britain's educational system is now in such a state that it falls behind those of minor ex-Soviet Republics, the candidates on the Apprentice yet again demonstrated their unbelievable ignorance.

When I was a small child I loved the Royal Tournament. I still remember one year when jousting knights took part in the tournament as being, for me, the high point of the show, that, and the sight of cavalry and horse drawn guns manoeuvring dangerously around the field and the legendary field gun race. All done of course to some of Britain and the world's best military music (Suppe's Light Cavalry Overture was particularly apt).

This week Lord Sugar and the Apprentice were briefly transformed into David Dickinson and Bargain Hunt as the contestants were given the task of finding ten set items at the lowest possible price.

This week on the Apprentice the candidates were sent off to Hamburg to sell crisps by British manufacturers to the German market.

One of the many things that surprises me when I watch the Apprentice is just how shockingly ignorant the contestants, supposedly some of the best brains in Britain, are.

On the day that Sir Alex Ferguson managed to secure his star player Wayne Rooney, award-winning film director Peter Jackson scored a goal of equal significance by confirming that he had found his lead actor for "The Hobbit", the prequel to "The Lord of the Rings".

This week's Apprentice clearly showed the need of any good business leader to always have a good overall view of everything. The task was simple, bake something and sell as much of it as possible to corporate and individual client's.

Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud has been found guilty of murdering his aide in a devastating attack on Valentine's day this year.

Following the firing of Dan Harris last week the teams competing to be Lord Sugar's "Apprentice" appeared to shy away from the dictatorial manner of Mr Harris, with varying degrees of success.

Exceptional Actors and the movies that they wish they could keep a dark little secret

Otto von Bismarck, the famed Chancellor of 19th century Germany, is famously said to have remarked that in life there are two things that it is better not to know how they are made: laws and sausages. Watching the first episode of the new series of "The Apprentice" I can't help but feel the old man was right.
