Celebrity Apprentice: NeNe, Leakes Quits and LaToya Jackson Gets Fired

Part 1 of 2 in the Celebrity Apprentice Epic Three Hour Event

It was a three hour  Celebrity Apprentice marathon tonight that saw two celebrities take the elevator of shame and one went MIA before quitting the show. We were all set up for NeNe Leakes vs. Star Jones round two, but it was not in the cards. Trump split up the women at the start of the show, trading Meatloaf on team Backbone for NeNe on ASAP.

NeNe was extremely displeased at Star “getting her way” and voiced her opinion in an educated and professional manner. Not!

Celebrity Apprentice: The Wrath of NeNe and Obama

Just before Donald Trump could fire anyone NBC broke in with the “live” announcement of the death of Osama Bin Laden. The interruption started at 9:45c (10:45EST) and the President did not take the podium until 10:35c (11:35EST)… coincidence? Who cares... Osama Bin Laden is dead, thank you to all involved in the mission!

All week long NBC has milked the drama of the showdown between powerhouses NeNe Leakes and Star Jones on Celebrity Apprentice tonight. It happened. NeNe started the show ripping into Star Jones and did not relent the entire episode… well most of it anyway.

Celebrity Apprentice: LaToya Jackson Gets Fired Strictly for Ratings

With Gary Busey now gone from Celebrity Apprentice the focus turned to the ladies of team ASAP. NeNe Leakes was in rare form, spewing obscenities even in the boardroom. After a less than stellar task performance by both teams, the ladies wound up in the boardroom. LaToya took a gang hit from Star Jones and NeNe Leakes and Donald Trump was only too happy to let the drama-free Jackson leave the show early.

The task was to put together a four page advertising piece for the Trump hotels. Trump is either finding it hard to get sponsors now, even for free ads, or he just needed the free work. Either way, it didn’t work to his advantage. Before any task was announced Trump asked the Celebrity Apprentice panel if he should run for president *yawn*. Of course all said yes.

PM’s were John Rich and Star Jones.

Celebrity Apprentice: Gary Busey Continues as Mark McGrath Is Fired

You know what Sunday night means, more drama on Celebrity Apprentice.  Tonight went a little above and beyond the call as NeNe Leakes became a bully toward LaToya Jackson and Gary Busey was saved for more craziness in the coming weeks. Mark McGrath made a fatal mistake in the boardroom that caused him to be fired by Donald Trump. It was obviously just for ratings though.

The task tonight was fairly easy, and boring. The teams had to come up with a marketing idea for a sunscreen product. They had to have something in a glass box (no idea what that was about), and the rest was up to them.

PM’s
Backbone - Mark McGrath
ASAP - LaToya Jackson

Celebrity Apprentice: Marlee Matlin Breaks a Record and Saves Gary Busey… Good-bye Richard Hatch

Tonight was a whirlwind of crazy excitement on Celebrity Apprentice. From Meatloaf’s meltdown, which should really be a name of a sandwich, to Marlee Matlin proving once again she is all class in and out of the boardroom. When the dust finally settled there was a record amount of money raised for charity on both teams. Richard Hatch was fired in one of the most bizarre boardrooms ever.

The task tonight was to sell artwork that each team created themselves. Well, almost all of it was created by them anyway, more on that later.

Project Managers:
Backbone - John Rich  - charity St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
ASAP - Marlee Matlin - charity The Starkey Hearing Foundation

Celebrity Apprentice: NeNe Takes Down Dionne Warwick

Count me as the newest member of the NeNe Leakes fan club. At least for this week. Though Dionne Warwick called her a "coward" tonight, it was Dionne that was fired in the boardroom on Celebrity Apprentice. Ms. Warwick has made her last girl cry in prime time. Buh-bye!

The teams were tasked with creating a 30 second video of the new AGC video phone. NeNe Leakes and Lil Jon were the Project Managers. The winner gets $40,000 for their charity.

After meeting with the company heads, team ASAP decided to go with the heart warming story of a mom and dad talking with their daughter who is living in France. Marlee Matlin stepped in to show that now she could talk to her daughter on the video phone through sign language.
