No sooner had we adjusted to the thought of a brave, new nightlife landscape where the words "Open Bar 10-11 p.m. sponsored by Trump Vodka" flowed as freely as barrel-bottom potato-vinegar from a goat-legged bottle, comes yet more Donald Trump news: the Apprentice is heading to LA.

NBC announced Tuesday that it had picked up The Apprentice for a sixth season. However, the reality series will be filmed in Los Angeles, as opposed to Manhattan, where the previous editions have taken place.[...]


[A]ccording to reality guru Mark Burnett, the move is at least partially due to the amount of business Trump is currently conducting on the West Coast.

"Donald has so many recent West Coast projects that it made perfect sense to change locations and along with it change the flavor of the weekly tasks," Burnett said. "Seeing Donald operate in Southern California will provide yet more insight into his remarkable world."

Let's give a warm Angeleno welcome to Donald & Co. when they hit town, and feel free to approach them with suggestions of ways to locally "flavor" their "weekly tasks." For example: in an episode with generous brand integration of the talent management company The Firm, each team is assigned a once A-list star, whom they then have to blow off in as many creative ways as possible within a set amount of time. The winners then get to be ignored by a Blackberrying power player over lunch at Barney Greengrass, while the losers face elimination in Donald's Beverly Hills Hotel cabana cum-boardroom.
