TX Gov. Perry to Run for President

Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has joined the race for president and will officially announce the launch of his campaign on Saturday in South Carolina, aides confirmed Thursday.

Perry was already expected to make the announcement he was running for president at the third annual RedState conference in Charleston. Since news reports about the event never used the word “announce,” many assumed that Perry would officially kick off the event at some point afterward, perhaps at an event in Texas.

Perry is scheduled to speak at the conservative gathering at 1 p.m. in front of approximately 550 attendees, according to RedState.com. Two other Texan Republicans, former Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams and former Solicitor General Ted Cruz, both candidates for Congress, are also scheduled to speak at the conference that day.

Perry is also expected to attend an evening house party at the home of New Hampshire Rep. Pamela Tucker Saturday, according to the New Hampshire Union-Leader. Perry is then scheduled to head to Iowa, where his activities will include a GOP dinner Sunday where both he and Michelle Bachmann are reportedly expected to speak.

'Celebrity Apprentice' Will Return, But Lots of 'If's'

If Donald Trump runs for President, "there will be someone else sitting at the head of the boardroom table," NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt promised reporters yesterday in a conference call to discuss the network's 2011-12 schedule, which finds "The Celebrity Apprentice" once again on Sundays once football ends.  If football ever starts.

"We're obviously very close to what's going on with this [NFL lockout] situation, and we're feeling pretty optimistic," Greenblatt said. His contingency plan should there be a few weeks' delay before the return of "NBC Sunday Night Football" involves some "high-quality, event reality-type shows."
