Yeah, but you'd never see Carolyn doing something like that because it really undermines a woman's credibility with men (women too but more so I think with men.) I'd like to think the article is not true, or at least not all of the women were involved.

I have a feeling Trump has used that beggar on the street has more $ than me story multiple times. Either he said it to anyone he happened to be walking with in NYC when he saw a homeless person at the time, or it never happened at all and he uses it as an inspirational tale.

The current issue of Entertainment Weekly has a filler article named "In Defense of Omarosa", which isn't so much a defense as it is a confession that the author loves Omarosa for no real reason, and that since she has to put up with so many annoying people, it's no wonder she's not developing her people skills.

Omarosa annoys me no end, but I do empathize with liking a reality show participant that everyone else seems to loathe (that would be Sue Hawk's ears burning about now).

At any rate, they devoted a third of a page to her. I'm thinking she's the most "popular" candidate in terms of public discussion, so they may keep her around for a while, despite the whole sucking-at-everything vibe she's got going.

Yes, that's what I meant The Mee. Ivanka said she and DT were walking past Trump Tower and there was a homeless person in front of the building and he told her that the homeless person had $90 milion more than he did and then she said she was proud of her dad for working so hard to get out of debt or something along those lines.

What a crock! This writer obviously is in love with Omarosa since it's not like she just starting having the opportunity to work with folks and develop her people skills when the show began...I mean, come on, O's been working (remember, WHITE HOUSE?!!) for years and surely that invaluable WH experience gave her plenty of opportunity to develop people skills.

TV Guide Online managed to insert a couple of snarky comments about Jessie and Omizrahi on their news page today:




**I added the italics.**

Assy gets Wonk'd.

Beware! There's a few items mentioned that could be considered spoilers.

Does Amy want to be an actress? Check this out.

From the USNews link that followed the "Wonk'd" link above . . .



So working in the White House actually means working in the OEOB, and being a political appointee really means being a receptionist? I want Omarosa to write my resume.

From the USNews article hat Wonkette linked to: Well, that's a bit more info than we had about exectly what an assistant deputy whatever does. Why am I not surprised?

ETA: Wrigley, I find it amusing that we both pulled exactly the same quote at the same time.

Why doesn't Amy a) get her hands off her face
b) ditch those ugly spectacles
c) manage to look attractive in at least ONE shot?

I think there is more to Amy than we know. Check out this gossip about her allegedly dating Bill Rancic in In Touch Magazine

Good for her. She may have some taste after all.

LOL -- I may have encountered her! About half the people working in the OEOB at that time were wonderful, and the other half were insufferable snots who thought they were above everyone else because they worked "for the White House". (I did some freelance technical writing and editing "for the White House" in the mid-90s, so I had first-hand experience with Gore's crew.) Assy would fit right in with the insufferable snots.

People in Washington either downplay or exaggerate their jobs; it runs 50/50 in my experience. It often takes quite a while to learn what they really do, beyond what they say they do.

Zap2it has an article about the show. Apparently the show is going to be 16 epis per season for the next two years. CLICK HERE to read the article.

The Apprentice: Weekly Performance Review, Episode 4 – When Winning Means Losing
by Mike DeGeorge -- 02/02/2004

"What’s more, I simply can’t believe the tactics Protégé used in winning the competition! Had you done ANY research on Donald Trump, you would know that, as a teetotaler, he despises alcohol. He lost a brother to alcohol and feels that the alcohol companies should be sued in the same manner that the tobacco companies have."

This is about the girls Planet Hollywood experience. I'm wondering if Troy and Kwame weren't playing it smart going to the gym while the rest went to a bar.

Too bad Bill doesn't.

Another article at Zap2it that mentions The Donald at the Oscars. There's a picture of TD and Melanea's cleavage for those of you who like that sort of thing.
CLICK HERE

Oh man...and she has a pose for many different moods/"characters:" sex kitten, sophisticated, brainy n' bespectacled, pensive.

At a size 4, though, she's going to be offered the "fat girlfriend sidekick" roles that Kathy Griffin once referred to (i.e. if you're not a 0 or 2, you're "fat" by Hollywood standards) ;-)

I thought the first shot with her hands on her face looked good. Made her look kinda like Naomi Watts.

But God, the other pictures there make her look like she has the world's largest, longest chin in history.

Which Apprentice Are You? Quiz

I'm Bill!



I liked Amy when I thought she might hook up with Nick, but now... thievesess stole my precious, tricksy dirty thievesess...

I'm Bill too! Okay, that is too fun. I'll definitely have to share it with my obsessed coworkers. One of whom is applying for Apprentice 2, and I don't have the heart to tell him that Donald Trump wouldn't even serve him up for breakfast, he wouldn't last that long!

I wonder how you're characterizing the one I saw as, "I can play the strung out druggie, really I can!"

Oh God, I'm Jesse.

And on topic, for your reading pleasure, here's an article about The Apprentice in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution ---MBA students get real-world lessons from the surreal world of 'The Apprentice'.

Oooooooo, a slam at Katrina from her old econ professor:



Now I'm all curious as to how, exactly, one gets over-emotional in economics class. Did she find out someone got a better grade than she did on an exam, take it personally, and go ballistic in office hours?

This is gonna bug me all day.

Hee hee. Oh, I can easily imagine it. Taking classroom discussions too personally, getting all "I am a good person" when anyone disagrees with you . . . I totally know people who were too emotional in college classes, even in classes that didn't seem to call for it.

Nooooo. Since there are none of these people I'd really want to identify with, WHY did I take that test? (Hangs head in shame.) Apparantly, I'm Heidi.

Took the quiz. Going to quit my job now. Going to look at the birdies. How am I like JESSIE???

She kinda looks like a female John Kerry.

And Katrina in college class? Sounds like the girl who would whine, piss, and moan to the Econ professor for a better grade while sticking her breasts in his face. Of course, if he hesitated, be it for the reason that she's really ugly or whatever, she would call him gay and cry.

Dear lord, I'm Ereka. How in the name of all things holy did that come about??? I'm not emotional or high strung. I think what happened with the quizes is that they take what is on paper and then match the different characteristics.

At least that's what I'm going with.

My sense is that that quiz doesn't actually match you to who you're most like; it matches you to how the various apprentices DESCRIBE themselves. So it's not so much "you are like Ereka" as it is "you are like Ereka thinks she is." Which is far, far more complimentary, obviously.

This was linked to SEVERAL TIMES. Just to be crystal clear: STOP linking to the "evil sista of reality television" article. Good God. Read the FAQ, and the 15 days/15 pages rule. It applies. If you had checked the Omarosa thread, you would have immediately found the answer to the question, and if you had read this thread, you would also have found it has also been linked to here. Aaaaaaaargh.

Oh jeez, I'm David.

Here's TV Guide's interview with Ereka. She's rooting for Katrina or Troy, surprisingly. (Guess the enemy of her friend isn't her enemy.) Other bits - she didn't care for Carolyn and is good friends with Bill and Nick.

archer1267, take comfort, because I'm David, too. I guess it's a good thing that I'm off to get that second postgraduate degree instead of trying to succeed in business.

Apparently, according to the continuing analyses at blackenterprise.com, even Star Jones hates Omarosa.

I'm David too, I guess I can see it since his goal is like mine, I don't want to work for the man either.

I agreed with you, Miss Ali, until I took the test and found out I'm Ereka. GAH! A dagger through the heart. I can at least understand where the other apprentices are coming from, but Ereka? I think I'll have some Vodka for lunch.

Heh. I like how Amy's "Actors Resume" on that site is completely blank.

tothemax I'll join you for that drink. After what Miss Alli said, I'm feeling much better. Ereka wants to be like us, even though she isn't. Besides, who believes internet quizes anyways?

Oh alright, I do. But it could be worse, we could be like Katrina. Then I'd definitely have to start drinking.

It says I'm Jessie. BOOOOOO! My only regret is that Spiderman wasn't offered as a cartoon choice. I didn't relate to any of the ones listed really.

Yee Haw!! I'm Amy (but with a cuter chin! HA!)

Hey, y'all...we Texas Babes have to stick together.

Oops, edited because I forgot to say thanks...that was a fun quiz! I'm a Cosmo girl who just LOVES quizzes! *That's my cutie cowboy over there rolling his eyes because I also make him take the quizzes with me...such a whiney baby!

It says I'm Troy. Could be worse (no one here has been Assorama yet -- or isn't fessing up if they are), and it's got me speculatively eying the mud pit in my back yard. Dry it out, package it nicely .... hmmmmmmmmmm.

As for the article about Ereka in TV Guide -- she is dining from a heaping plate of revisionist history, with a side order of delusion. Nick was threatened by her, she wasn't all that flustered when organizing the invoices, but it was the end of the day and what else was a girl to do? Carolyn is "conservative" and "negative", and Katrina wasn't taken to the boardroom because the only people responsible for sales were her, Bill and Nick. So what, exactly, was Katrina doing? I thought that I heard her say that Katrina took the lead on the contacts she made with Nick -- oh, wait, no, she didn't take Katrina because she didn't screw up the sales pitches ....

Trying to follow this self-serving, circuitous logic has made me a bit dizzy.

She could claim that the article is taking her quotes out of context, but I suspect that she thinks her answers make sense.

Idiot.

edited because too many verbs can be confusing.

Quiz Resultz?"Be the TroyHat, Sweetsoul, Be the TroyHat! HeeHaw!

I'm David.

God, please help me now. I think my education is what killed me, b/c I know that I have nothing else in common with that kid. Please....please...

I'm Kwame. I wonder how choosing Bubbles of the Powerpuff girls led me towards Kwame? Whatever.

Whew! I'm Bill. Thank goodness! Very fun quiz, though a wee more stressful than I anticipated.

As to Ereka's TV Guide interview? Pfooey! She totally disrespects the Goddess Carolyn. I hate Eshreeka full on now whereas before I simply didn't care about her.

I think Ereka spoke poorly of Carolyn because Carolyn uses her brain - not her body or acting "I'm so cute" - to get ahead in business. It's clear to me that Ereka has relied on her 'cute little girl' act to get ahead, not any brains (not that she has any) so any woman who does otherwise is "conservative and negative."

Yes, Carolyn dresses conservatively, but then so does every woman I've ever worked with in corporate America here in New York City who's moving up the ladder (even in the global public relations agency world where things can be a bit more relaxed).

Ereka, grow up. Women who succeed in corporate America do use their brains to get ahead...not their cute little firm bodies or fluttering eyelashes.

Yay, I'm Bill!



Well, that's because Star Jones is intimidated by a strong black wom...oh. Nevermind.

UGH! I got David!!! NOOOOOOOO.

Stupid post-college degree.
