Khloe Kardashian Says Trump Fired Her From ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ For Ratings

It was a bit confusing when Donald Trump fired Khloe Kardashian from The Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday- not because she had done anything wrong on the task, but because she got a DUI in 2007. Why is that weird? People who drive drunk are morons… However, The Donald notoriously forgave Miss USA Tara Conner‘s very similar crime and allowed her to retain her crown. She got busted when photos of her engaging in underage drinking and allegations of drug and alcohol abuse surfaced. Here’s what Khloe had to say about her firing:

“I find it weird that he can forgive and take back Tara Conner but he can’t do the same with me?!  The things people do for ratings!” Kardashian wrote on her blog on Monday.

“It wasn’t because of my work ethic, it wasn’t because I was slacking — it was because of my DUI, one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made that I will forever regret,” Kardashian wrote about her elimination.

“I will never say that what I did was right, but I think it is completely unrelated to my place on the show and I don’t think I should have been fired for that reason alone. I have tried to bring awareness to how serious DUI’s are and I am trying to make some right out of my huge mistake.”

She added that “what’s done is done” and called the show a “great experience,” but also noted that her time on the NBC reality show had given her a new appreciation for how much she enjoys working on her family’s own Keeping up with the Kardashians E! reality series.

Not only had Trump forgiven Conner, he has cast her as an advisor and mentor to other beauty pageant queens in the Miss Universe program. So because she’s beautiful and blond she gets preferential treatment? Seriously? Geesh, Donald!

Donald Trump Fires Scott Hamilton on ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’

Though he was fighting for a cause close to his heart (a cure for cancer), figure skater Scott Hamilton fell short as project manager on last night’s episode of The Celebrity Apprentice and was sent packing by Donald Trump. As leader of the men’s team, Scott urged them to change the Zappos famous “Z” to “E E E” to be quirky and different. The executive at Zappos was impressed with a lot of things they did as a team, but that one part of their presentation was bad enough to make them lose and send Scott home (despite much protesting on his end that Tom Greene deserved it).

The best part of the entire show was when The Donald told women’s team project manager Khloe Kardashian how smart she was and how he had heard she was a leader in her family, too. Wow.

Trump Entertainment Files For Bankruptcy Again

Donald Trump‘s Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the third time.

Bondholders had threatened to force the company, which most recently emerged from Chapter 11 protection in 2005, to file again, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

Billionaire developer Donald Trump, who holds 28 percent of the company’s stock, resigned from his role as chairman of the board Friday. Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, also removed herself from the board, the Journal said.

Company stock has fallen from more than $4 a share a year ago to around 23 cents a share.

“Some time ago, I made an offer to buy the company in the hopes that I might be able to reverse its fortunes but the bondholders turned me down,” Trump said in a recent statement. “Now I will study and watch as the horrible and outrageous fees being paid to lawyers and consultants will suck the blood from the company,” he said, adding someday “I hope to return.”

Wow, this is awesome. Our economy sucks and the billionaire Trumpster is worried about his little company. How sweet.

We Just Can’t Get Rid of Omarosa!!!

superbowl omarosa

Somehow attention whore and former reality tv villain Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth is still making the rounds in Hollywood. Last night she ended up at a Superbowl viewing party at Spago in Beverly Hills with the likes of Larry King, Gloria Allred, Robert Shapiro and Wolfgang Puck. Sure, those aren’t the biggest names in the biz, but this chick is a nobody who is like a little knat always showing up where we don’t want her!

Now, I do recognize that by even posting about her, I am further feeding the giant. However, I just don’t get how someone rejected by Donald Trump so many years ago and hated by America is still clinging to those 15 minutes of fame. Ding ding ding! Your time is up, woman!!!

Full Cast of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Announced: No Huge Celebs, No Shocker

Donald Trump has not exactly secured a heap of A-list celebs for the next season of The Celebrity Apprentice, but I am somewhat surprised that some of them are actually legitimate stars (while some of them are attention-sucking hooches).

“Last season’s Celebrity Apprentice became one of the hottest shows on television – and this season will be even better,” Trump told TV Guide. “We have an amazing cast of celebrities and we are looking forward to some fantastic entertainment.”

Here’s the list of the “amazing” cast:

  • Clint Black, country singer
  • Andrew Dice Clay, comedian
  • Annie Duke, World Series of Poker champion
  • Tom Green, comedian and talk-show host; Butch Walts and Donald Skinner Urologic Cancer Research Foundation
  • Natalie Gulbis, professional golfer
  • Scott Hamilton, Olympic figure skater
  • Jesse James, TV host, restaurateur and clothing line founder
  • Claudia Jordan, Deal or No Deal model
  • Khloe Kardashian, reality star and boutique owner
  • Brian McKnight, singer and Broadway star

Catch the debit of the new season March 1 on NBC!

Donald Trump Suing Small Town for $100 Million

The Apprentice star and real estate gajillionare Donald Trump is suing the California community of Rancho Palos Verdes for $100 million for interfering with his golf course construction project.

Trump filed suit against the small city this week, claiming his plans to build a world-class golf course there have been stymied due to fraud and civil rights violations by Rancho Palos Verdes, which he says is refusing to let him build the course in the “Trump image,” The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

Oh no! You mean you can’t waste money and be ridiculously frivolous? What ever will you do, Donny?

“I’ve been looking forward for a long time to do this,” Trump told the Times. “The town does everything possible to stymie everything I do.”

City leaders, however, said the lawsuit was just another attempt by Trump to bully the community.

“We have bent over backwards many, many times to work with Donald Trump,” Rancho Palos Verdes Mayor Larry Clark told the newspaper. “I’m sure this lawsuit is really going to anger a lot of the residents.”

A hundred mill sounds pretty steep for some tree issues, but this is Trump we are talkin’ about. And what’s up with all the crazy celebrity court cases right now? Don’t people realize we are in a recession!?!

Official Cast of ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ Announced

With the official cast announcement of The Celebrity Apprentice released, it is safe to say that the show has completely arrived in loser status. These are basically a bunch of wanna-be’s and has-been’s trying to get famous, and Donald Trump needs to go ahead and get over himself. I mean really… This is the best he can do? With the exception of Clint Black & Brian McKnight, none of these people are actual celebrities anymore, if they ever were at all.

  • Claudia Jordan: A Deal or No Deal model that is apparently considered a “celebrity.”
  • Brande Roderick: Playboy model.
  • Joan Rivers: Annoying talk show host.
  • Melissa Rivers: Daughter of the annoying talk show host.
  • Herschel Walker: Former NFL running back.
  • Brian McKnight: R&B singer.
  • Scott Hamilton: Flamboyant gold-medal winning figure skater.
  • Natalie Gulbis: Gorgeous LPGA golfer.
  • Annie Duke: Professional poker player.
  • Dennis Rodman: Cross dressing former NBA player.
  • Andrew Dice Clay: Profane comic.
  • Tom Green: Formerly funny talk show host.
  • Jesse James: Married to Sandra Bullock.
  • Clint Black: Country singer.
  • Tionne T-Boz Watkins: Former member of TLC.
  • Khloe Kardashian: Member of the Kardashian family without a sex tape.

David Blaine Hangs With Donald Trump

A while back it was announced on Backseat Cuddler that David Blaine would be hanging from his feet upside down with electromagnetic boots for 60 hours in Central Park starting September 22. He will only pull himself up for liquids and to restore circulation.

David recently spoke to reporters with Donald Trump about the task, which will be broadcast on TV in a special on ABC on September 24. (Donald owns the rink that David will be hanging over.) Here are some highlights from the interview:

David on being ready: “Although it is very dangerous, I dont just jump up here and say Im going to suddenly see what happens,” says David. “Ive actually practiced it, but Ive only gotten up to six hours. Six hours against 60 hours is a lot different.”

Author’s note: In these pictures he looks flustered and red already…is he going to be able to make 60 hours?

Donald on David doing this: “I have learned from David. You would really think that some of the things hes done are not physically or mentally possible,” says Donald. “You can do things in your own mind that you dont think you can do.”

David on preparing for the task: “I stopped eating about a week ago, so I dropped about twenty pounds, which makes it easier on the body, and I dont have to go to the bathroom number two,” he confesses. As for all the liquids he’ll be drinking, David says he’ll use a catheter.

David on why he is doing this: “The point of all these things is I think we can endure much more than we think we can. Like, I think we can take everything we can turn our world upside down, but we can still endure because human beings are amazing,” he says.

The tickets are free to go see David so if you are in Central Park around those times go see him. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

And about David the magician, I think that he is good at the close up magic…where Criss Angel is better at the far away ones. I really used to be obsessed about David and was stunned when he held his breath for over 16 minutes. I know Criss has done demonstrations like David used to…I miss that in Criss.

Girls Gone Wild’s Joe Francis Dumped by Trump

On August 21, Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis confirmed that he would be appearing on the Celebrity Apprentice. However, due to a media storm and threats from show sponsors, NBC nixed him so he and Donald Trump are now going to do another show together… What that show will be, no one knows.

Here’s what Francis told the NY Post Monday: “I would have added a lot to Celebrity Apprentice, and I would have been excited to do it, but I’m more excited by this other idea.”

On Friday, E! News reported that Francis had “passed” on The Apprentice prior to a federal judge’s ruling on a prior motion by his lawyer asking to allow Francis to travel out of California to take part in the show’s taping. He will likely need to file a new motion if he does take part in a separate Trump project.

Francis recently spent 10 months in prison after being accused of using under age girls in his series of sexually explicit videos and is currently charged with two counts of income-tax evasion. His lawyers are seeking to delay his current trial until 2010.

Now the ever pathetic list of D-list celebs appearing on the show include: Scott Hamilton, Natalie Gulbis, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Dennis Rodman, Brande Roderick and Khloe Kardashian.
