Man, this guy never gives up. I have never read Donald Trump’s best-seller The Art of the Deal, but I’m guessing there’s a chapter in there about persistence.
After getting slammed by Rosie O’Donnell upon inviting her to appear on the upcoming “Celebrity Apprentice,” Trump is at it again. Not with the former “View” co-host, rather the real estate mogul is going after a younger, blonder, shapelier set.
The Donald recently told New York reporters that he is courting the infamous trio of party princesses that have most recently called rehab centers and jail cells home. That’s right; I’m referring to none other than Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan. Trump wants them to appear on his show, give them some fatherly discipline and save their careers.
Never one to take no for an answer (at lest the first time around), Trump said he is in talks with Spears right now. As for Hilton, Trump says she too has expressed interest in being on TV.
“Can you imagine her doing it?” Trump asked reporters. “We’re not sure what will happen. She’s a mess. And that little reality show she had did nothing. But she likes the idea of being on television and I think she’d be great.” Hilton, he adds, “wants to be on, and we’re thinking about it, but I don’t know if we’re going to do it.”
Lohan, meanwhile, is still a question mark… in more ways than one.
“It would a positive thing for her to do . . . for all of them,” Trump said.
Frankly, I have a hard time believing any of the three bimbos even know who Trump is. But according to one New York newspaper, Paris’s father and Trump are pals.
If Trump does find a way to sign any of the rehabbed jailbirds they will join several other Hollywood (less than A-list) stars who have already agreed to be subjected to Trump’s infamous “You’re Fired” line. They include: Carmen Electra, Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, George Foreman, original “Apprentice” villain Amorosa, Kimora Lee Simmons, Pete Rose, Tony Hawk and Jeff Gordon.
“There are more than a hundred others who want to be on the show,” Trump bragged.
For this version of “The Apprentice,” celebrities will raise money for various charities during the weekly competitions.
