Celebrity "Apprentice": The Wishlist/Predictions
This past season, Trump's juggernaut of a reality show, "The Apprentice," went to Los Angeles. Then it was announced that Trump's show had been canceled. But Trump will rise again. We all knew it. And now it's true, as "The Apprentice" goes Hollywood in a different way, as NBC announced its intention to cast celebrities as the would-be apprentices--this doesn't mean that Brad Pitt (or some other celebrity) will give up his day job if he wins...the winning celebrity (who is likely not to be Brad Pitt) will instead donate the money to charity.
Of course, they didn't name any actual celebrities who had agreed to appear on the show, perhaps to keep us in suspense, and perhaps because no one has said yes yet. So I've decided to procrastinate from the work I actually have to do make my predictions as to who will be competing on this show.
Do you agree? Disagree? Want someone else to be on the show? Want to debate the meaning of "celebrity"? Post your opinions here. NBC won't read it, unless Tina Fey's Googling her name again and finds me...
1. Carmen Electra. Being on the show provides her the opportunity to show off her bod and her stripper workout empire. Plus, I think she's divorced now, so that positions her perfectly for a nascent romance or at least late-night pre-boardroom hot tub cavortings with...
2. Corey Haim? The second Corey is due for a comeback, and after hanging with Dave Navarro, Carmen's probably ready for a nice guy. Which Corey may or may not be. But it's about time he had a chance in the spotlight, now that Feldman's been married on the Surreal Life. Which leads me to...
3. Flava Flav...booooiiii! Yes, I know he's developing his realicomedy empire on VH1, but there's room for one more jewel in the dude's already heavily bejeweled tiara. And if "New York" makes an appearance, all the better.
4. Someone from American Idol. It's gotta happen. While an ideal world would see the participation of William Hung, who hasn't "banged" in a while, we're likely to see someone like the chick with the legs from this last season, or maybe (fingers crossed) Justin Guarini. I really would like to know what his hair is up to.
5. Someone from "The Hills" or "Laguna Beach." Drama....
6. A bad guy from 24.
7. Sara Rue. She's due. Or Nia Vardalos. I don't know why I put them in the same category. Maybe it's "women who play homely even though they're actually not."
8. Deborah Gibson. Because Tiffany's already on Celebrity Fit Club.
9. Nikki and Paulo from "Lost." The spider bite wore off! And they climbed out of the grave! And now they're pissed!
10. The poor, beleaguered, hopelessly mortal Eric Balfour. Is there a single show he's been on in which he hasn't been killed? Let's give the guy a chance at Trumpin' it up.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
