“CELEBRITY APPRENTICE” IS MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE THAT “DANCING WITH THE STARS” MADE

It turns out Brett Michaels was the first one fired on All-Star Celebrity Apprentice because Donald Trump didn’t want him back as a contestant! Since Bret had already won, Donald wanted him back as a judge. But according to RadarOnline, Bret knew he could make more money as a contestant if he lasted a few weeks and insisted on competing. Donald retaliated by firing him the first chance he got, but it didn’t cause a ratings surge. Ratings have not been impressive this season and we thought that producers should have learned a lesson from the Dancing With The Stars All–Star version that bombed. Once viewers have seen how the celebrities dance or act up on Apprentice, there’s no reason to watch them again. No surprises!

WILL QUEEN OF MEAN LISA LAMPANELLI LOSE HER EDGE ALONG WITH HER WEIGHT?

It will be interesting to see if her weight loss changes Lisa Lampanelli’s attitude. Lisa and her husband Jimmy have both had gastric sleeve surgery and as a result, she’s lost 60 lbs. When she was on Celebrity Apprentice, Lisa was an angry overweight comic – she gobbled fast food and was critical to the point of cruelty to her slim and pretty competitors. As smart as Lisa is, she must have seen her negativity on the show turned off a lot of viewers and did little to enhance her popularity. Now that she’s losing weight she not only LOOKS better, she seems happier and less combative, but still funny. Feeling better about herself makes a difference. Good for her!

AUBREY O’DAY IS VERY PLEASED WITH HERSELF AND SHE’S NOT HANDICAPPED

#aubreyoday #dogs #janetcharlton

This smirking photo of Aubrey O’Day (who gained fame being obnoxious on Celebrity Apprentice) and her two dogs in first class on a Virgin America flight is very irritating. Why? Because she had her doctor write a letter declaring her pets as “service dogs” so she can take them everywhere we can’t take OUR dogs! Besides airplanes, that includes restaurants, movie theaters, supermarkets, health clubs, taxis, and buses. All dogs should have the same rights! Of course genuine service dogs who assist their disabled owners SHOULD go everywhere. Somebody expanded the law to include mental disabilities, inviting people like Aubrey to take advantage. We bet she’s got a handicapped parking placard also…..

ARSENIO HALL PARLAYED CELEBRITY APPRENTICE INTO A SHOWBIZ COMEBACK

We were happy to see Arsenio Hall turn out to be the winner on Celebrity Apprentice. Happily, neither of the smart but mean spirited women, Lisa Lampanelli or Aubrey O’Day, came out on top. When his talk show went off the air in the mid 90’s, Arsenio disappeared. During his heyday, he palled around with Eddie Murphy and they ruled the club scene and made funny movies. When that ended Arsenio dropped out of sight and we’re betting he felt forgotten by his showbiz friends. So it was nice to see him resurface on Celebrity Apprentice and use it as a way to get back in the spotlight. It worked. He’s got several offers for another talk show and seems thrilled with it all.

MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN AND HIS “MEAN GIRL” OMAROSA

#omarosa #michaelclarkeduncan

It’s been almost two years and Green Mile star Michael Clarke Duncan is still totally in love with Celebrity Apprentice villain Omarosa Manigault Stallworth. Michael had a crush on Omarosa before he spotted her in a supermarket and nervously approached her. He still remembers his lame pick-up line “You’re the mean girl from Celebrity Apprentice!” She wasn’t impressed and continued shopping, but he tracked her down in another aisle and turned on the charm. They’ve been happy together ever since…

LISA LAMPANELLI AND OTHERS SHOW THEIR “TRUE COLORS” ON CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

Lisa Lampanelli is using “Celebrity Apprentice” to make herself more famous but also universally disliked. Her outright bullying and egotistical tirades against Dayana “Miss Universe” Mendoza on the show are an embarrassment. (And a disgrace to the female sex!) Yes, contestants are paid a lot to be on this show and they are pushed to have conflicts and meltdowns. But to completely abandon the idea of decent manners and treatment of others is inexcusable. One can criticize another person without histrionics and demeaning insults. Donald Trump seems to be gleefully bringing out the WORST in everybody. Aubrey O’Day has the same kind of ego and sense of entitlement as Lisa, but she’s SNEAKY about it. And Arsenio Hall and Clay Aiken aren’t the nice guys we thought they were. Of all people, New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice so far seems clearly appalled by the others’ behavior. As a result of these performers destroying their own reputations, the show is MESMERIZING.

LISA LAMPANELLI TO VICTORIA GOTTI: “YOU CALL YOURSELF A WRITER???”

Celebrity Apprentice continues to be fascinating, although Sunday’s “Medieval Times” theme was not so hot. Still, a lot of celebrity quirks were revealed and Victoria Gotti ended up the big loser. Our favorite moment occurred when the women’s team leader Lisa Lampanelli slammed Victoria Gotti, saying “She calls herself a WRITER, but I noticed she spelled medieval “MID-EVIL!”

THE “GROWING UP GOTTI” BOYS ARE RETURNING TO TV AS MEN!

Yes, the Gottis are making a major TV comeback. Victoria Gotti is a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice,” and her three sons have a new reality series tentatively titled “Made Men.” You might remember the boys from “Growing Up Gotti” which aired on A&E from 2004 to 5. At that time they were noted for their garish home, hair products use, and accents so thick that subtitles were mandatory. Carmine, John, and Frank are now 25, 24, and 22, respectively, and after assorted aborted career attempts, they are now running a metal recycling business in Queens and STILL LIVING WITH THEIR MOTHER Victoria. We wonder if the boys will be as appealing now that they’re older and hairier (except for the eyebrows………)

CLAY AIKEN HAS COME A LONG WAY, BABY

It’s been nine years since Clay Aiken appeared on American Idol and the boyish singer has matured considerably – in fact we didn’t recognize him in his suited office look. Since he placed second on Idol, Clay has released multiple albums and toured many times to the delight of his “Claymates” – middle aged female fans who threw their panties on the stage. The panty days appear to be over and Clay has come out as gay and now has a young son. His latest metamorphosis is as a businessman for Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.

IVANKA TRUMP: SOME GIRLS HAVE ALL THE LUCK

She may be nine months pregnant, but 5’11” Ivanka Trump looks stunning and well put together as she runs errands in New York. At 29. Ivanka is the girl who has everything: a sterling education, a modeling career, a job as Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at The Trump Organization, plus a TV show, Celebrity Apprentice. (And don’t forget the wealthy husband and baby on the way.) Donald did something right.
