“Celebrity” Apprentice - According to Whom?
Reality shows have it bad these days. I admit growing up, I would tune into Circus of the Stars, or Battle of the Network Stars. It was fun seeing the celebrities you saw every night on TV battle each other in kayaks or run around in a cage with lions. Nowadays, however, with the reality shows take the term “celebrity” a little too lightly. Take for instance the contestants on “Celebrity Apprentice”…
- Nadia Comaneci - Olympic gold medalist, gymnastics. Who?
- Carol Alt - so she was the most beautiful woman according to Playboy upon a time. Im 34, and I barely recognize the name.
- Jennie Finch - Olympic Softball gold medalist. I’m sorry… WHO? What’s with the Olympic theme here, Donald? And I didn’t know softball was in the Olympics.
- Marilu Henner - Ok, I kind of recognize her name. Health nut. Gotcha.
- Lennox Lewis -Boxer. Know the name, this should be interesting. I’m sure he’ll come in handy balancing the books.
- Gene Simmons - finally a real celebrity!
- Piers Morgan - hosts some American Idol ripoff. Again… Celebrity according to whom?
- Stephen Baldwin -Shouldn’t he be off doing some kind of religious telethon?
- Tiffany Fallon - Miss Georgia 2001. uh…. who?
- Tito Ortiz - Ultimate fighting champion. Who?
- Vincent Pastori - ok, a pseudo celebrity from The Sopranos. Better than a gold medalist.
- Omarosa - Season 1 of The Apprentice, Reality TV flunkie… isn’t her 15 minutes of fame up?
- Nely Galan - Former Telemundo executive. Oh boy.
- Trace Adkins - another pseudo-celebrity but better than a gold medalist.
I would rather see REAL, unknown people plucked out of the American landscape than watch this “celebrity” edition of The Apprentice. People will watch for Gene Simmons - period. So you know he will last until near the end.
