ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
It's hire-and-fire time on 'Apprentice'

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Twenty-seven million people tuned in last year to watch Donald Trump utter the words "you're hired" in the inaugural season of "The Apprentice."

Season II concludes tonight, with "Apprentice" hopeful Kelly running a polo match for charity and the other hopeful, Jenn, running a charity basketball tournament.

Whether you like Donald Trump — and producer Mark Burnett — or not, there's no debate these two know how to do a reality show in an over-the-top manner. Tonight's three-hour finale starts at 7 on NBC. Yep. That's not a misprint — three mind-boggling hours of hearing Trump start his sentences with his pet "this is the best ..." phrase.

For the record, we pick Kelly, but you never know what The Donald is looking for.



Rolling application may work better

Although many makeup artists recommend dabbing powder on lightly with a big brush, that method may not be the best in Hawai'i's tropical climate.

Laura Mercier, founder of Laura Mercier Cosmetics, offers this suggestion instead: "Try folding a large powder puff like a taco, dipping it lightly into the powder and applying it by rolling it onto the skin."



FINAL WORD

Kristen Bell, actress | At 24, she looks young even for a 17-year-old, which is the age of the sleuthing title character she plays on UPN's "Veronica Mars":

"I'm carded for R-rated movies. And I get talked down to a lot. When I try to go rent a car or buy an airplane ticket or other stuff adults do, I get, 'Okaaaaaaaaay, honey.' I remember when I was 18, getting crayons in a restaurant."
