So the premiere of Celebrity Apprentice airs tonite, of the celebrities appearing in this season 3 of them are singers: Dionne Warwick, La Toya Jackson and Meatloaf.

I havent watched The Apprentice in ages, but I will be tuning in for this season as I am particularly interested in seeing how well LaToya does

I saw a preview clip of tonite's show and in it LaToya's saying that she's gonna use some of the Joe Jackson power in her Looks like at some point her and NeNe Leakes get into it with each other:

Yeah they definitely have a colorful cast of characters this season, should be entertaining

Gotta love that Star Jones Esq.

I'll definitely be tuning in.

A really good premier show tonite. The show was entertaining and got off to a good start. LaToya did good I wont reveal too much for those who havent seen it yet. Richard Hatch--whatta jerk! And as for who ended up being fired...all I have to say is I think that decision was made from a producer's standpoint based on ratings sake--not because of Donald's "business instincts"

it was hilarious. Dionne on the register was like telling George Washington to take a picture lol Lisa likes to talk behind people's back. Poor David Cassidy, the lil guy hardly wins but he let richard expose him, i like that Jose was trying to stick up for him.

I hated the way Richard treated David Cassidy. Well he treated pretty much everyone on his team crappy but David got the worst of it. Looking forward to next week's show.

I won't be watching the bigot.

After indicating to the Des Moines Register that he will compete in next year's Iowa caucus should he decide to seek office, Trump was questioned on his stance concerning same sex marriages. "They should not be able to marry," the Celebrity Apprentice star asserted. Trump also admitted that he hasn't developed a "fully formed" opinion on extending medical and civil benefits to gay couples, but he added: "As of this moment, I would say no and no." The TV personality has suggested that he will announce his final decision on whether to launch a presidential bid in the coming months.

Gary Busey is my DUDE! I litearally LOLed when Trump was like "Who should I send home?" and Gary was like "Richard..... **silence**..... Hatch." He and his teeth and crazy wild eyed antics need to stick around for as long as possible!

I knew they weren't gonna get rid of Richard so quickly. He's there for ratings.

No they really meant PROFIT. They spelled it that way purposely.

Toya was surprisingly cute tonight. I think she looks good considering all she's done to her face AND considering her age. She really looks younger than her years. And her wig is better than Star Jones'.

As for this political stuff, most of that is for shock value. He could very well feel that way about whatever it is he's taling about, but half the time I think he just says things just to say them. Ain't nobody worried about Trump.

Really? I'm not familiar with Richard Hatch. Why is he important for ratings. Actually I recognized most of the cast except for him.

Hes the first winner of Survivor. I've never watched the show but I've heard that the name of the game isn't so much surviving, it's manipulating people which I'm gonna guess he's very good at since he won. He also didn't pay taxes on the money he won, and ended up going to prison for tax evasion.

Okay, thanks. I had a feeling he must have been from some ole reality BS show.

Speaking of Donald Trump possibly running for President...

Donald Trump Has 'Apprentice' LaToya Jackson's Vote

12450

With rumors swirling that Donald Trump is just weeks away from announcing his presidential candidacy, he's already locked in one very famous voter.

LaToya Jackson, who is also a contestant on the 11th season of Trump's hit competition show, 'Celebrity Apprentice,' has publicly endorsed the real estate tycoon.

"I truly believe that he would be a great running candidate if he did [run for president], and I would certainly vote for him," Jackson said.

Trump may rule the boardroom every Sunday night at 9PM ET, but does he have what it takes to rule the nation? Jackson thinks so. See why Donald Trump has secured LaToya Jackson's vote after the jump!

"I think he would make an excellent president. I think he speaks the truth, I also feel that he knows a lot about the economy and the way [it's] heading. [The] world in general is basically involved around business with the oil crisis and things of that nature, that's basically controlling the world at this point and this moment. He knows so much about that," said Jackson.

But the songstress knows her 'Celebrity Apprentice' boss is bound to face opposition.

"I think he's loved by a lot of people in America. I think he stands a chance, but then again, you have the other side who says, 'Well how much does he really know?'"

Trump's unconfirmed presidential campaign only makes Jackson's time on 'Apprentice' that much more exciting. She joins all-star cast mates Gary Busey, Star Jones, Niki Taylor, Lisa Rinna, David Cassidy, Dionne Warwick, Richard Hatch, NeNe Leakes, Marlee Matlin, Jose Conseco, Meat Loaf, Mark McGrath, Hope Dworaczyk, Lil Jon and John Rich.

"John Rich is very clever," said Jackson when asked what contestant proved to be her toughest competition. "He's very focused. He's a smart guy, but what's important is to stay focused, and he stays focused. A lot of people have the tendency to lose focus and lose sight of what they're doing. That's the key really to be successful in a sense because you know when you go off into another direction or little tantrums on the side, that kind of ruins things, and he stays right with what he's supposed to do! That's something everybody should learn."

Jackson is no stranger to the spotlight, but feels that her stint on 'Apprentice' will finally reveal her true self to audiences. "People don't really know the true me. They don't know who I am," said Jackson when asked what will surprise viewers the most. "I think just being out there, being amongst people with different personalities and standing up to them, not letting them run all over you and talk to you the way they choose to do," said Jackson.

As for what to expect from Jackson this season, she's anything but glib. "Let me just put it this way, it's going to be a very interesting show. It's exciting, I think it's the best 'Celebrity Apprentice' there is." Jackson raves.

With Trump supposedly planning his race to the White House and Jackson stepping out from her brother Michael's shadow, she couldn't be more right.

Donald kept Richard Hatch instead of firing him because he's the "villain" of the show, and every reality tv show needs a villain(s) to bring the drama and cause tension/friction because that supposedly keeps people tuning in which brings in the ratings. Richard Hatch is not liked by his teammates and he should have been the one sent home but Donald kept him and instead sent the nicer, no drama David Cassidy home.

Considering how many times Donald's filed bankruptcy and the fact he don't own shit, at least not 90% of the shit with his name on it, I need him to stick to reality TV and stay the hell outta politics. That fool is the master of the con. On second thought, he'd be right at home in DC.

Which Celebrity Apprentice Castmember Is the Biggest Competition?

TV Guide - 4 minutes ago

What do Celebrity Apprentice castmembers Marlee Matlin, Star Jones and Lil Jon have in common? They all named Survivor winner Richard Hatchas their biggest competition.

"If he can win something with no clothes on and mentally strategize, then this should be a breeze for him,"Lil Jon told TVGuide.com.

Other than the threat of Hatch, both Matlin and Jones agree that the women decided on a pretty poor team name, ASAP, as evidenced in the premiere episode.

"I had some in the back of my head," Matlin, an Oscar-winning actress, explained. "And then it was LaToya who threw out ASAP and she went through artists, actors, singers, authors, performers, professionals — with a purpose. They all wanted it and I was outvoted, but if you asked her what it stood for, good luck."

Celebrity Apprentice airs Sundays at 9/8c on NBC.

http://omg.yahoo.com/news...tion/58246

ASAP is really a crappy name for the girls team Surprised that the majority went with it. I mean, ASAP? Really? Did they really all think it was a great name or did they go with it because she's LaToya Jackson?

Celebrity Apprentice's Richard Hatch Sent Back to Jail

Us Magazine

Richard Hatch is headed back to the slammer.

The Survivor winner -- and current Celebrity Apprentice contestant -- was ordered to return to jail for nine months for neglecting to pay taxes on the $1 million prize he won as a part of the CBS series in 2000.

Hatch -- who was released in 2009 after serving a three-year sentence for tax evasion -- still owes an estimated $2 million to the IRS. As a condition of his release, the reality star was ordered to file his 2000 and 2001 tax returns and fork over additional funds, but he failed to do so.

"This isn't a complicated matter as much as you tried to complicate it," Judge William E. Smith told Hatch on Friday. "As far as I can tell, you've made no effort to put any money into the government's coffers."

In addition to a nine month jail term, Judge Smith also ordered Hatch to serve 26 months of supervised release, during which the IRS will garnish 25 percent of his gross income.

Hatch is expected to surrender to U.S. Marshals on Monday. The Providence Journal reports the finale of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice will still air on May 22, regardless of Hatch's imprisonment.

So he probably wont be there for the finale.

Its on tonite, apparently tonite's task will be for the celebs to write a childrens story then act it out for a group of children. Should be entertaining.

This is why he won't run. He won't stand for opening up his books.
