I returned from the BET awards last night. The show was awesome! I met stars including, Cedric the Entertainer, Chamillionaire, and Ne-Yo.

This was my first awards show and it was better than I expected. The show opened with Beyonce and closed with Prince. Who could ask for more? Last year I was watching the BET awards on my couch and this year I saw them live. I feel fortunate to have had such a memorable experience. Pictures from this event should be up by the end of the weekend!

Exciting news! I have joined the team at InsidePulse.com. I will be interviewing my fellow Apprentice 5 candidates. Inside Pulse’s Murtz Jaffer interviewed me to kick off my column. You can read what I had to say at: http://www.insidepulse.com/articles/49205.

Diane replied to my last blog entry inquiring about scheduled trips to Arizona. To answer your question Diane, I currently do not have a trip to Arizona scheduled. I will be sure to let you all know when that changes.

Speaking of changes, look for changes and additions to the website coming soon. Additions will include: pictures from the Finale and pictures from my Jazzercise events.

I am headed to Los Angeles tomorrow morning for the BET Awards! I will share all the details and pictures when I return.

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind! Check out the gallery soon for pictures from The Apprentice Finale and my Jazzercise trip.

My first stop was to Jazzercise Inc. for the Jazzercise apparel line fall catalog photo shoot was awesome. Jazzercise Inc. is located in beautiful Carlsbad, CA. Judi Sheppard Missett, Founder and CEO, her daughter Shanna Missett Nelson, Executive Vice President, and the entire Jazzercise Inc. group were so gracious. I modeled lots of outfits for the fall catalog including a pink exercise top that, in return for my appearing in the photo shoot, Jazzercise will make a donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I am excited to be involved with such a worthwhile venture. 10% of the profits from the pink exercise top will go to the Komen foundation.

I returned to California for the live Finale of The Apprentice. I liken the Finale to graduation. It was great to meet the cast's family and friends, and get to know even more aspects of the people I spent so much time with. The first day I was there, I spent the afternoon sight-seeing with Bryce, Charmaine, Leslie, and their loved ones.
Then, I had dinner with Allie and her entire family. So fun! Still later that evening, the entire cast went out, and my family arrived and joined the fun the next day.

At long last, the day of the Finale came...which I trust and hope that you all saw. Congrats again to Lee and Sean for making the final two, and to Sean for becoming The Apprentice. It was a great ride and I thank you again for your support. You will still hear from me, so keep checking the site.
And don't forget to check the Gallery for pictures!
