The Apprentice hasn't just boosted the promotional possibilities for Donald Trump's next book; it also has inspired a lot of new authors, whose books will appear in time for the show's second season. That doesn't include Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, whose publicist says she's working on a book that will be "completely unrelated" to her Apprentice notoriety. Given the competition, that might be smart. --By Jonathan Rick...
