Predict The Winner Of The New Season Of “Celebrity Apprentice”

Ami Angelowicz6 hours ago //

Last season, “Celebrity Apprentice” was highly, highly entertaining. We met Gary Busey’s penis, Big Wednesday, suffered through Nene’s blow out with Star Jones and hid under our couches during Meatloaf’s fit of rage. Naturally, my expectations are above and beyond for the latest batch of “Apprentice” hopefuls (read as: random group of C and D-listers who are hungry for screen time). I’ve gotta say, I’m excited to see how Debbie, sorry, Deborah Gibson, does in a corporate environment. And I’m looking forward to seeing Dee Snider in a suit. I’ll admit it,  I wasted most of my lunch break predicting the order in which this season’s contestants will be fired by Trump. It’s OK, I can eat at my desk again. My predictions are above.

Are NeNe Leakes And Star Jones Fighting Over Al Reynolds?

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 10, 2011 //

Last week, we showed you the long-awaited catfight between “Real Houswives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes and former “View” co-host Star Jones on “Celebrity Apprentice.” Things got nasty as the two ladies went after each other in the boardroom. “I will take you down,” NeNe said. “You pressed the last button in me Ms. Star Jones.” The two said their beef was over “Apprentice” politics. But there might be more to it than that. Rumor has it that NeNe is dating Al Reynolds. Yes, as in Star’s ex husband, to whom she was married for four years. Keep reading »

Nene Leakes Tests Star Jones’ Street Skills On “Celebrity Apprentice”

Ami AngelowiczMay 3, 2011 //

“Celebrity Apprentice” has been hyping this girl fight between Nene Leakes and Star Jones all season. I’ve been watching and waiting, but was starting to think it was never going to happen. But OH. It went down on Sunday night. Nene went totally batty on Star in front of Donald Trump and the Biosilk/Chi executive. Awkward! Cringeworthy! My thoughts, after the jump. Keep reading »

And My Favorite “Celebrity Apprentice” Cast Member Is …

Ami AngelowiczApril 20, 2011 //

Lil Jon is creative, Meatloaf is a dynamo, and Jon Rich has the ethical constitution of an ox. Much respect, but none of them is my favorite cast member of “Celebrity Apprentice” this season. The person I am most excited to see each Sunday is Jack Jason, the hands and voice of Marlee Matlin. I like Marlee too, but it’s hard to tell where the actress begins and her long-time interpreter ends. A couple of weeks ago, Jack shed tears as Marlee won the challenge that earned her charity $1 million. Awww. And this week, he had the decency to refuse to translate her dirty language. What a gentleman. In a situation that breeds pure insanity, Jack is like the eye of the hurricane, the innocent bystander. Side note: I wonder how he interpreted the things Gary Busey said before he was fired. I can hardly understand them myself. If anyone “got” Gary’s story about the kite, please explain. Anyhow, a big thumbs up to Jack Jason, the international sign for “keep up the good work.” [Dlisted] Keep reading »

“The Celebrity Apprentice” — Who Trump Rejected Before It Even Started

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJanuary 14, 2011 //

Obviously, I will be rooting for NeNe Leakes in the soon-to-start season of “Celebrity Apprentice.” Donald Trump has announced the new cast, and it’s pretty awesome: in addition to NeNe, there’s Meatloaf, David Cassidy, Dionne Warwick, Latoya Jackson, Jose Canseco, Richard Hatch of “Survivor,” Garey Busey, Lil Jon, Mark McGrath, Marlee Matlin, Lisa Rinna, Niki Taylor and Star Jones. But what’s even more interesting is who Trump didn’t pick. “We turned down 35 to 40 people,” Trump says. “We really qualify people.” [People]

So who got the big N-O? Find out after the jump. Keep reading »

Bret Michaels Hired On “Celebrity Apprentice”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 24, 2010 //

This is strange—but apparently there were others things going on in the world last night besides the series finale of “Lost“? For example … the season finale of “Celebrity Apprentice.” Bret Michaels didn’t let a silly thing like a brain hemorrhage followed by a warning stroke keep him from competing in the live finale. He limped a tad but seemed otherwise all good for the final challenge—creating a new flavor of Snapple iced tea and an ad campaign to go along with it. With his Diet Trop-A-Rocka tea, he beat out challenger Holly Robinson Peete. Not that she was mad. “I know the whole country is pulling for Bret,” she Tweeted before the taping. “In many ways I am too!” Go Bret. Glad you made it back. Though lay off “Rock of Love” for a while, OK? That show just can’t be good for your health. [People] Keep reading »

Will Bret Michaels’ Body Stop Rebelling Against Him?

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 21, 2010 //

Just as Bret Michaels was recovering from a brain hemorrhage, and got the okay from his doctors to make the trip to New York to appear on the live finale of “Celebrity Apprentice,” he’s back in the hospital with a slate of new medical conditions. Earlier in the week, he was feeling numbness on the left side of his body. Doctors determined that he had had a “warning stroke”—a condition that gives stroke-like symptoms but doesn’t do permanent neurological damage. As they ran MRIs and CT scans on Bret, doctors found another problem—our “Rock of Love” casanova has a hole in his heart. No, literally. And this is on top of his diabetes and the emergency appendectomy he had in late April.

Quotable: Bret Michaels Gets Googly-Eyed Over Ivanka Trump

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMarch 17, 2010 //

“The toughest thing for me out of the whole ‘Apprentice’ experience was sitting across from Ivanka Trump because she is smart, funny, witty, charming and beautiful. I kept thinking, ‘Could we just have one last episode of ‘Rock of Love’ in the boardroom?’”

Frisky Rant: The One Thing Ivanka Trump Has To Do To Be Taken Seriously

Jessica WakemanMarch 15, 2010 //

It’s no secret that I have a rather low threshold for Rich Kids, especially Celebrity Rich Kids, who don’t get their elbows particularly dirty building up their resumes like the rest of us. A few months ago, I wrote a post grousing about how Ivanka Trump wrote a business advice book called The Trump Card; I found this super-obnoxious considering her life couldn’t be more different than those of the regular folks reading her book. Ivanka even admitted on “The View” that Anna Wintour offered her a job at Vogue upon graduation.

Last night Ivanka appeared with her dad, Donald, on “Celebrity Apprentice.” And I had the realization that I’d be eminently less annoyed with Ivanka if she undid some of her father’s damage. I’d like her to start with the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA competitions. Keep reading »

Cyndi Lauper, Bret Michaels, Sharon Osbourne Make For A Rockin’ “Celebrity Apprentice 3″

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 19, 2009 //

Donald Trump isn’t so good at keeping secrets. The cast for “Celebrity Apprentice 3″ is supposed to be under wraps, but paparazzi photographers totally caught these famous business wannabees walking down New York’s 15th Street shooting the opening credits. And, uh, I never thought I would say this, but I can’t wait for the premiere. This season’s cast is amazing—like “Dancing with the Stars” caliber. Cyndi Lauper, Rod Blagojevich, Bret Michaels, Sinbad, Sharon Osbourne, chef Curtis Stone and baseball legend Daryl Strawberry—it’s way more surreal than “The Surreal Life.” And we just heard that, until an hour ago, Cyndi and Sharon were waiting tables at the Burger Heaven on 63rd Street, where they’d created the day’s menu. Meanwhile Bret and Curtis were doing the same at the franchise on 53rd, and maybe charging $100 for a platter? Ooh. Ooh. I know what should happen. Maybe Bret and Cyndi will hook up “Rock of Love” style? That’d be really sweet. [NY Post, Midtown Lunch] Keep reading »
