Celebrity Cast of The Next Apprentice Revealed

The DonaldSome of you will care more about the delivery of your mail today than finding out the cast of Donald Trump’s forthcoming Celebrity Apprentice, and with good reason.  It’s nothing to brag about, and probably means little for the possibility of the show’s rebound.  Among the celebs:

 

Omarosa, of previous Apprentice fame.  Does she actually count as a celebrity?  But she’s certainly welcome in any reality television format requiring someone with an over-the-top mean streak and a willingness to know no depths.  Welcome, Omarosa, here’s your rose.  You’re hired.

 

Lennox Lewis, former heavyweight champion.  He should be argumentative, but dull.  On the other hand, Trump loves buddying up to guys like Lewis, and it’s hard to imagine hearing the “You’re Fired” words pointed in the Champ’s direction.

 

Gene Simmons: A sad day for everyone.  Gene, what are you doing?  Kiss is just a figment of our imaginations.  I believe there was Gene Simmons the Lead Singer, and Gene Simmons the Auto Body Shop Employee.  The latter was ambitious and saw an opening to land real fame.  So he disposed of the Lead Singer’s body in Santa Monica Bay, and began a reality TV binge that rivals Lauren Conrad of The Hills.

 

Tito Ortiz: Don’t know who he is?  Think Ultimate Fighting, and think Jenna Jameson.  He’s done both.  Now he’s paired up with Lennox Lewis in what will surely result in awkward man-on-man wrestling, finger-pointing, and general family fun for everyone watching.  Ultimate Fighting, you see, is the new boxing.  Everyone knows it puts that pansy stuff the traditional pugilists do to shame.  Lewis-Ortiz.  Put it on your calendar for a 2008 PPV match.  You heard it here first.

 

Stephen Baldwin: He will easily be the first one fired, because no matter what he does and how he does it, The Donald will treat him like a second-class Baldwin, and will have no problem firing him.  And with the murderer’s row above, who could blame him?  Of everyone listed so far, I’d get rid of Baldwin too.

 

Carol Alt: Ummmm…hmmmmm…

 

Vinny Pastori, who played the character Pussy on The Sopranos.  I’ll stick to what I said before: of the group so far, I’d definitely fire Baldwin first.

 

John Cena, of WWE fame.  Again, a fighter, only this time a fake one.  Clearly Trump is looking for the most steroid juiced, abrasive cast he could find (and I’ll even throw Omarosa in that category).  And you know what?  More power to him.  There’s going to be more testosterone thrown around than in a mating cell at a stud farm (again, Omarosa included).  You may not watch the first episode, and you may not watch the second, but by the third you’ll hear whispers about this show, and you’ll tune in.  Donald knows you will.

 

Marilu Henner: Ummmmm…hmmmmm…

 

Paris Hilton: She actually WON’T be on the show, unfortunately.  But the rumors said she would, and you know Donald is highly disappointed she has decided otherwise.  It would’ve been amusing to see the dudes in this group salivate over her, though.

Celebrity Apprentice ?

The Donald way overhyped his "Celebrity" Apprentice. Former heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis may arguably be the biggest name of the cast. Gene Simmons was a big name 30 years ago. The show is doomed from the start without even a d-list celebrity. Will this be the Apprentice franchise killer?

Serious? Have you been

Serious? Have you been living under a rock? John Cena is insanely popular, easily the most well known of this group at the moment. If it were 20 years ago, I'd say Gene Simmons. If it were 5 years ago, I'd go with Lewis. The fact of the matter is, people aren't using search engines to look up Gene Simmons or Lennox Lewis-- they're using them to look up John Cena. Check "top celebrity search" statistics if you don't believe me.

WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE ON

WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE ON

this cast would be perfect

this cast would be perfect for survivor, not apprentice. I would love to see ortiz and lewis battle it out for immunity.

Maybe the guy who wrote this

Maybe the guy who wrote this article should have pursued a music career instead of journalism ( if that's what you call what you do???). Maybe he would have reached a level of success that he obviously hasn't reached currently. The comment made about Gene Simmons was so off! This man has worked hard to get where he is. He's made enough money to support his family, their families and their families. Maybe this guy should have applied for the show since he seems to think that none of these people are celebrities,he would have been eligable! Why would this guy not pick on Omascusting (Omarosa). This waste of time is famous for being FIRED once, that makes her a celebrity? So answer me this mister Author when are you gonna donate $250.000 to your charity? Think about that the next time you decide to rip apart a bunch of people trying to have fun and do good at the same time! Go KISS ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your comments about John

Your comments about John Cena using steroids are unfounded and libelous. He has adamantly denied ever using steroids and drug tests have found him innocent as well.

celebrity apprentice

Please don't let Paris or Britney on. Better yet why not Hilary Duff, Kelly Clarkson or Pamella Anderson since they are way hotter than those two losers. Mr Trump, you tha man and I say YOU'RE HIRED!!!!!!!!!! Mike Guyton Ottawa, Ontario Canada

John Cena on Celebrity Apprentice?

According to the official website, John is not listed. That's a shame..he would have brought in many viewers!!

When I heard about celebrity

When I heard about celebrity apprentice, I thought it had great potential. Now that I see the lineup of stars, it's a real lackluster showing. I'm not hugely into sports or anything, so maybe some of these guys are bigger than I realize, but throwing someone so stupid in there like Omarosa? Are they serious? Wow, yeah let's glorify arrogance and obnoxious behavior. The only thing that's grown about this woman since her previous stint on the show is her ugly fake boobs. This show used to be about smart, up-and-coming future leaders, and now it's a total gimmick out for ratings. The best aspect of the show seems to be the donation to charity, but if each of these celebs has the notoriety that they claim, they could each donate the $ to their charity of choice right now, no contest, no show, just do it. As I see it, this is probably going to be a joke. At least they could have picked some more interesting people if they were going for D-listers. At least entertain us, make us laugh, etc. Yawn.
