Original Apprentice winner Bill Rancic has taken his 15 minutes of fame and run with it, renewing his contract to work for Donald Trump for a third year. But it's no surprise: The Windy City native, 34, can count himself as one of The Donald's inner circle, sharing boardroom duties on the NBC reality show with daughter Ivanka Trump. Rancic recently talked with PEOPLE about working so closely with Trump, dating as a TV star and still having to take out the garbage.

Denzel's Summer Vacation

So, you're Denzel Washington, and you've just finished your press blitz for The Manchurian Candidate. Now what? "Denzel is relaxing in Italy with his family on (golf champion and entrepreneur) Greg Norman's boat Aussie Rules," says a source. Norman isn't there, but Washington, 49, has been schmoozing with the likes of P. Diddy and Heidi Klum's ex, Italian playboy Flavio Briatore. "He hangs out with different people in different ports," says the source. "He's gone to Positano. He'll go to Capri and Sardinia. He's been Jet Ski-ing. He's having a great time. He loves it." Who wouldn't? Aussie Rules is a 228-ft. dreamboat of a yacht, complete with its own cinema, a library, WaveRunners, sea kayaks, diving gear and a 16-person crew. Sounds like smooth sailing to us.

Marc Anthony wouldn't say a thing about his surprise weekend nuptials with Jennifer Lopez while making the press rounds this week in New York – he wouldn't even admit that it happened. But The View's Star Jones was not to be deterred. While he was waiting in the green room before his Tuesday appearance on the show, Jones, a longtime friend of Anthony's, greeted him just before he went onstage. "He looks up and he mouths to her, 'I love you,'" a source tells us. "So she says back to him, 'I know you love me, but you married that other girl!' The whole room broke into laughter," including Anthony.

Apprentice Bill & Jen: An Item?

Originally posted 04/23/2004 01:05AM

Real Romance? Is Apprentice winner Bill Rancic dating The Bachelor's Jen Schefft, or not? Perhaps the two of them should set up a toll-free number and let us vote on it. "I've been to dinner with Jen a couple times," Rancic told us at a party at New York hotspot Marquee this week. "People are blowing this way out of proportion." What might be stopping the two of them? "She has her own career and I've obviously got a big task in front of me," he said. "We'll see what happens." Well, okay, but he likes her, right? "Any guy would be lucky to have her," he told us. "She's a great person. She's probably one of the most genuine women I've ever met." Hmm. Meanwhile, we wanted to know if success on The Apprentice has gone to his head. "My feet are firmly planted on the ground and I know I've got a lot of hard work ahead of me," he said. "I'm not losing perspective on reality." Though he's having "the time of my life," he expects his newfound fame to add to the challenge of overseeing the new Trump building in Chicago. "I've got a lot to prove," he said. "I'm going to be living in a fishbowl for the next year. People are going to be watching everything I do."
