'Apprentice' star Hopkins fired again

The reality TV contestant walked out of the programme on last week's show, despite being favourite to claim the £100,000 job alongside Sir Alan Sugar.
She then returned to her £90,000-a-year job as a global brand consultant at the Met Office, but when she went into work yesterday morning her bosses told her that she was being fired.
A spokesman for the Met Office told the Daily Mail: "Katie was informed that we were terminating her period of probation with us.
"Although the probationary period is normally one year and Katie joined us in September 2006, we have the right to terminate her employment at any time during that period.
"In making this decision we would look at work performance, time keeping and conduct and review how a prospective employee is capable of achieving and maintaining an acceptable standard in all these areas.
"We decided that in this case Katie did not meet those standards and her employment was terminated."
