I am coming out as a lover of Celebrity Apprentice. I don't know whether it's watching celebrities try to handle challenges that probably make business school graduates cringe or finding out that Dionne Warwick is kind of a bitch, but I'm completely entertained.
(Just to be clear: I do not love Celebrity Apprentice the way I love Friday Night Lights, Parenthood and hope to love Game of Thrones. Celebrity Apprentice is like my love for McDonald's french fries, those other shows are like my love for Lidia Bastainich restaurants. Mmmmkay? Good.)
However, I think it would be a lot better if I tweaked it a bit.
1. The celebrities have to stop calling Donald, "Mr. Trump". Either all parties should be on a first name basis or none should. The celebrities, while possibly immature and/or clueless, are not children and he is not their principal.
2. Force the celebrities to live together like they do with contestants on Project Runway and Top Chef. Just watching some of them survive without assistants should be entertaining enough. And imagine Meatloaf and Gary Busey living under the same roof! Television GOLD.
3. Get better celebrities. If the Donald would kick in more charity money, he could probably get better celebrities. Or maybe he could blackmail them or something, I don't know. But wouldn't it be awesome to see the cast of Twilight versus the cast of Harry Potter? Or the cast of Desperate Housewives against the cast of Grey's Anatomy?
4. Get celebrities who need help. Let Charlie Sheen bring his torpedo of truth to Trump Tower. Give Glenn Beck a new job. Give Lindsay Lohan something to do besides go to rehab.
5. Get celebrities who aren't really celebrities. I'm picturing a Real Housewives battle between New York and New Jersey or maybe the Kardashians versus the Basketball Wives?
Is there a celebrity contestant that would make you watch Celebrity Apprentice?

Never Thought I'd Hate Dionne Warwick
I'm not proud of this, but . . . .I've been watching Celebrity Apprentice. Blame it on the fact that there's hardly anything else new on Hulu. (Oh April, you can't come fast enough - Game of Thrones AND Friday Night Lights. Joy.)
I've never watched the regular Apprentice, because really? I don't understand why anyone would actually want to work for Donald Trump. Also? I like watching celebrities reveal their actual personalities, but as for regular people show their cattiness and/or stupidity? I can go to at PTA meeting for that. (I think. I've never actually been to a PTA meeting. I just volunteer for stuff. I stand by my belief that one perk of being a stay-at-home mom is that I don't have to go to meetings anymore) Anyway, there have only been 2 episodes so far this season, so you can totally catch up.
I mean, GARY BUSEY. MEATLOAF. LATOYA JACKSON. How can you not watch? Plus there's one of my favorite Real Housewives, NeNe Leakes. And Dionne Warwick.
Now, I've never actually been a fan of her music - it's not like she's Meatloaf, after all. But I didn't expect her to be such a be-yotch. In the first episode, she struggles to run the cash register but won't let anyone take over for her. That made me sure I'd never actually root for her. But in this last episode? WOW. She tells the (deaf) Marlee Matlin that deafness is "too sad" a topic for a children's book and belittles her and Lisa Rinna until she gets her way. Then she has a fit because she wants her name listed as the creator of the book, instead of the team's name. She just came across as so selfish and thoughtless - every stereotype of a celebrity. Hell, I've still never heard her mention her charity.
Other celebrity impressions: Gary Busey really is crazy. I am still a fan of Meatloaf. Don't fuck with Star Jones. LaToya sure looks a lot like Michael. Mark McGrath is kind of a doofus.
And some celebrity questions: Does Donald Trump force his sons to have bad hair so they can all match? Will Niki Taylor and the Playmate ever talk? How long before Jose Canseco pops Richard Hatch?
I think Star Jones is going to win. What do you guys think?
