As The Reality Dial Turns...
Hold on to your britches...this one is a doozie !! Seems like Meredith and Ian are kaput...SHOCKING. Apparently, he missed his NYC, yet she refused to move there. Word has it...he was not weeping as he packed his bags and hit the trail.

There may be another reason Bill selected the Chicago assignment during last night's Apprentice finale. Mentor's hometown girl, Jen Schefft (ex-Almost-Mrs.-Firestone), is also near and dear to his heart...and living in Chicago. Sources have said they were introduced by Bill's sister at an event in Chicago a few months back. During The Today Show interview this morning, Bill tried to be evasive when asked if they are dating, but Donald completely spilled the beans and revealed that Bill and Jen are absolutely dating.
