Celebrity Apprentice: Star Jones Gets Fired After a Meatloaf Fight

Star Jones started the second part of the three hour Celebrity Apprentice tonight with a good quote, “Do not confuse kindness with weakness.” It may have been aimed at Meatloaf after she had his back during his winning task in the beginning of the episode. With no one left to argue with on the show, the battle lines were drawn later between Miss Star and Meatloaf. He’s not the push over he appeared to be earlier. Star came out on the short end tonight.

The task was to produce a 90 second commercial for OnStar. Teams would be graded on creativity, originality and product messaging (branding).

The PM’s were John Rich and Marlee Matlin. The last time these two faced off against each other it was a record breaker for Celebrity Apprentice fund raising. Tonight was a set amount of $40,000 for the winner’s charity. John Rich was out to get Marlee after his last loss to her.

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 Gets Fired (Happy Trails Ca’boy!)

Most of the drama tonight on Celebrity Apprentice came from team Backbone. Now determined to rid themselves of him, they named Gary Busey as the project manager. It was difficult to watch as their frustrations mounted, but they kept their goal in sight and let Gary hang himself. He did so, with a kite string.

The ladies unanimously chose Hope Dworaczyk  to be their PM. We haven’t heard much from Hope this season, but it turns out she has a lot of opinions. Hope was the PM on paper, but Ms. Star took over quickly (then wondered why everyone comes to her for answers). NeNe continued her negativity. Not much new on team ASAP.

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.

Celebrity Apprentice: Lisa Rinna Gets Thrown Under the Bus

Lisa Rinna did not stand a chance tonight on Celebrity Apprentice. From the minute she was bullied into taking the assignment of Project Manager it was obvious the goal of most of Team ASAP was to get her off the show. Task complete. After not being able to defend herself in the boardroom, Lisa Rinna was the second one fired from Celebrity Apprentice.

The task tonight was to write a children's book, then act it out on stage in front of four and five year old kids. The winning project manager would get $20,000 for their charity. Teams would be judged on originality and presentation by former Celebrity Apprentice runner up Holly Robinson-Peete.

The men chose Meatloaf as their PM. The women all threw the job to Lisa Rinna who repeatedly said she did not feel comfortable leading this one. Though to be fair, I don't think she would have felt comfortable leading at all.
