Is anyone else ticked off at the fact that these women posed for Maxim especially since Amy said that it was mistake and if given the chance she wouldn't do it again.

I can't believe these women are willing to risk their future earnings for few bucks now by posing for the magazine. So what if you make a $100,000 (assuming) now if you can't ever make a dime again later. Its not like the female contestants this season were actually good on the Apprentice.

I can understand a future employer forgiving Amy for posing in Maxim because she actually was great contestant who always stepped up with ideas and did some great work on the show. But with these women, I can't ever see a future employer saying "yeah, I know she lacked some common sense by posing for Maxim, however, I am looking to hire an incompetent, finger pointing bitch that will be the downfall of my company."

I am law student and was informed that there was a girl from a nearby school who was hired by a big law firm in the city. The law firm then found out that she had posed in Playboy and the girl was immediately fired. As much as we think attitudes have changed, the business world is still conservative and wouldn't want its employees to be part of a sleazy magazine because it doesn't protray that the company and its employees have sound judgment.

When will these girls ever learn.

I don't think women like JennC, Maria, and Elizabeth have any future earnings to look forward too. After their sorry performances on the apprentice, I doubt to many companies will be stepping up to hire them for important positions. I mean, would you? Note, Wes got hired right after the episode of his firing was aired. Nobody offered Blinky a job, while Jenn C got fired after her episode was
aired. Posing in Maxim is all these women have got.

Why the HELL would Wes get a job after this?? He did SO MUCH NOTHING!! The only thing you can say about him is that he seems like a nice guy, personally (which, as I recall, was the first thing the Four Horsemen of the Apprentice said about Nick before they fired him).



Elizabeth didn't pose, not that I disagree with the point. But yeah, of the five that posed, Stacie J runs a Subway so this is probably a step up for her, Pamela and Sandy both work for themselves so future employers are less of an issue, and Maria and Jenn C were never real businesswomen to begin with.

Oooo! Ooooo! I know!! I know!!! In describing the make-up of the post-Kelly Mosaic the author calls Sandy "the non-existent Jennifer".

I saw it completely accidentally -- they were on for less than three minutes, which was just long enough for them to praise the show and each other and for Tony to look incredibly pervy while showing off the cover of Maxim. He was practically sweating. Wes sat in his chair calmly, but Blinky was all about the full-arm pointing and head snaps. It was more distracting than ever.

(For the record, I'm no fan of Blinky -- but she was wearing an incredibly gorgeous suit on the show.)


The same! We love Kim. :)

Woohoo! We have a winner! ***PING!*** There ya go, mswestern. You now have a gold star stuck right in the middle of your forehead.

Frabrato, I daresay that's a right good theory about that yooge brooch. ***PING!*** And now you have a gold star in the middle of your forehead too. Yay!

Heh, MissAlli. Just think, Boyfriend Bill's likely been reading your recaps all along. Maybe it can be worked out that y'all share a Corona one day.

Wow, after all those Maxim party photos? I have only one thing to say to Jenn C.: Wear a bra, honey! Gravity is definitely not your friend, and it's showing!

Next time you're at a check out stand, flip through this week's People (the one with Jude Law on the cover). There, in all his glory, is Trump being manicured, brushed, and polished by Jenn C, Elizabeth, Omarosa, Heidi, Katrina and Stacie J. (I hate to say it but Omarosa looks absolutely gorgeous). There are revolting little quotes from each one of them on why The Donald is sexy. I'll post them later when my husband wakes up from the nap he's currently taking atop my magazine (grumble).

Also there's a picture of Trump and Melania at Star Jones' wedding. The caption says Trump is kissing her, but it looks to me more like he's sniffing her hair.

No kidding...although they looks pretty normal for her age but if you are going to be a famewhore and plan on mugging for the camera in revealing outfits for your 15 minutes at least buy some gravity-defying boobage!

Boobs aside, though, I thought that Jenn C. looked gorgeous.

Perhaps she should activate it.

As for Stacie J: in addition to owning a Subway, she's also a professional model. So, getting a layout in Maxim? probably a big plus for her pre-existing modeling career.

Yeah, that was the big problem with Jenn C: her boobs were aside. And droopy. Which might not be as much of a problem if she didn't insist on wearing backless dresses that are cut down to her navel in the front too. Jenn, hon, choose a neckline that doesn't plunge all the way to your Brazillian wax job, and get a good push-up bra; then you might look almost as hot as you obviously think you already do. The way you're doing it now just makes you look old and saggy. Or maybe that was the look you were going for.

Here you go. They're all pretty short so I think I can quote them:

Trump:


Heidi:


Stacie J.:


Katrina:


Omarosa:


Elizabeth:


Jennifer C.:

I agree, Stacie J is the only one who would possibly gain anything from the Maxim spread.

The Maxim photos?? YIKES!! JenC looks ready to crawl up Maria's.....oh!! Maybe that's the reason for the rapid fire blinkfest.

And is it me, or does Pam's chest remind you of Sara from RW?? Those are some major league yabos!

QUIDTEMPESTEST:

And well he should...

I am afraid that I spent years in that group. I went to a prominent business school (that's a whole other story) and worked for five years as a consultant at one of the Big Five consulting companies (ducks to avoid hail of bric brac).

I left mostly because I never really fit in (or hope that I didn't). The people I worked for a) used the wrong words all the time (it is 'oriented' not 'orientated', dumbass) or b) invented words ('actioned', heaven help the next person who says actioned to me in a meeting).

If you want an example of how BS a lot of business is, I'd recommend reading two things. One is case study where a very well known consulting company advised British motorcycle manufacturers on how to compete with the Japanese. The second is brief overview, written by Mr. Honda himself, on how they got to be big in the US. The two versions have three things in common. There is a country called the United States, there is a country called Japan, and there is a company called Honda. That's it. The rest of the consulting version is pure, unadulterated BS.

Subsequent events (the virtual disappearance of the British motorcycle industry) is ample proof that there advice stunk. The only survivor was Triumph, who pursued a much different strategy.

The Maxim photos? How wrong is it that I LOVE the fact that Sandy's picture has the large caption reading "Stacie J"? Seriously, I know some of these chicks are fairly interchangeable, but aside from not knowing how to spell her name correctly (Stacie? Stacey? Stacy?), how can she be confused for one of the other fembots? Oh, yeah, because they put a long blonde wig on her for the photo shoot. I guess the "Sideshow Al with Boobs" look doesn't fit their demographic.

Pam's boobs are just gross, so high up and far apart, I hate that is what is seen as "normal boobs" now in all these photoshoots. You suck, Pam.

And I did not need to see Stacie J.'s crack. Male or female, skinny or heavy, model or not, I never want to see your crack.

And Stacie J.'s look pretty fake in the first shot, it could be a push up bra, but I don't think so.

I agree. They're too spherical to be real.

Those pictures are about the least sexy underwear shots I've ever seen. All of them, but especially Maria and Jen C, look like they're trying to look alluring and faux-lesbian, but you can see the glinting famewhore insanity just screeeeaming to get out.

Also, Pamela's new rack is gross. If you can't pay for good ones, don't get them at all. Yecch.

From seeing those photos, it looks like Maxim took Pam aside from the group photo , whacked her faced with a frying pan, and then proceeded to take her solo shot. Not flattering at all, and I say this as a fan.

Maybe TD ought to offer boob jobs as a consolation prize to losing women candidates. In fact they could have it done immediately and recuperate at Loser Hotel.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a facetious statement. My pic of Sandy is labeled correctly. I think of all the women, Sandy looks the best and most normal.

Already posted in the Pamela thread that her breasts are grotesque. She probably doesn't think so, because she agreed to put them on display that way.

I think in Jen C's second pic (why is she the only one that gets two?) she is channeling Christina Aguilera.

Maria? You're not sexy. Button that blouse.

I find it most interesting that the accused fembot, Jenn M, did not participate. Kudos to her.

Oh yea! Jennious does have more sense than that. Thanks for not disappointing me.

She might have been more concerned about the reaction that her law firm would have to her becoming a lingerie model. Although, who knows? Maybe she just said no.

Not facetious at all, Rainmaker; this is the picture of Sandy that I was referring to, and at the bottom of the photo it says in big white letters "Stacie J".

Squeee! As one of the three people who love the show American Dreams, here I am watching the first 5 minutes and darned if Nick wasn't just on as a guy being interviewed for a man-on-the-street piece for the local TV news in '60s Philadelphia. He was asked what he just bought and his response was: He looked pretty cute with his '60s short hair and overcoat. Yay!

I got my Maxim issue this weekend, and maybe I don't get it, but when I think "hot girl on girl action" I definitely don't think Maria and Jen! ew.

Though Maria looks totally different without severe red lips.

I just never thought that Pamela would be screaming the loudest.

Ha! This is the quote of the day for me, Moodeln.

And as a straight guy, I would just like to give the Maxim shoot an official rating of "Eh (with shrug)."

I am firmly in the "there's no one to root for" camp and this underscores yet another reason why. The Apprenti are a pretty soulless bunch. Their heart's desire in life, their highest ambition, is cheap celebrity. Their idea of work is making personal appearances. Other people exist only as supporting players in their personal drama.

A sad, worthless bunch, I'm afraid. And I do not limit that judgement to the Girls of Maxim. I think it applies to every last one of them, male and female. There are no heroes here.

And of course Jenn C put in an appearance on Howard Stern. Of course, the callers were as gentlemenly as ever (one notable 'I want to spray it all over you') and she's all 'Oh my God, my mother's listening'. So, what is it Jenn are you so damn stupid that you didn't know what Stern's show would be like or did you know and your famewhoring get the better of you?

Crafting a Video Resume for Associate on "The Apprentice" New York Lawyer

I watch American Dreams and after that line, I realized it was an Apprentice shout-out. So I rewound the recording to watch the scene again, but I didn't recognize the guy as Nick. I was thinking it would have been one of this season's contestants, and I was checking to see if it was Wes or some other blond dude.

I guess it's out of sight, out of mind for me - sorry Nick.

I know it's a little late but ... Miss Alli, you're all red over "Boyfriend Bill"? I think it's cute. He may have a little crush going. Maybe he could really be Boyfriend Bill. Get us the dirt!

Pam's boobs are ridiculous. Jenn C looked pretty in her pictures (except for the saggy boob shot) but she's such a pain in the Levi's that I can't be bothered. And StacieJ needs to stop channeling her inner white girl. She don't need the blonde straight look, yo.

Trump surrounded by ... um, girls? EWWWWWWW!

I'm disappointed in Pamezon's post firing image. From the web sites I checked out, it really did appear that she founded and headed some bonafide, successful Dot-coms. So WTF happened? Why would she feel the need to become booby-girl in light of that real-world success? Bleh.

I just saw the Maxim during lunch when I was at the bookstore. Maria on the cover. Shudder. Do they honestly think that picture on the cover will sell any issues? It will be interesting, since there are two different versions of the cover, which one sells more.

God, seriously. Who would use Maria on the theory that she's sexy? Ew.

Aaaanyway. Just FYI, next week's TV Guide (Desperate Housewives cover) has a short piece I did about Assorama's failure to go away. Like, ever.

Thanks for the heads-up Miss Alli. I look forward to the snark. How much better would this season have been if they let our dear recapper have a say in who to pick for contestants? Sadly we will never know and thus are stuck with, (by my estimate) three or four Omarosa's who will be cluttering our media space for god only knows how long.

She does have quite nice legs. So she could do pantyhose, stockings & shoes modeling!


Hmmm, I wonder how many shots were ruined because the photographer caught her in mid-blink . . ?

Physically, I think Maria is quite beautiful. The problem is when the blinkmeister opens her mouth to talk; unfortunately, she feels compelled to involve her arms. And maybe she's blinking coded messages to the secret coven she controls. The whole perfectly crafted image rapidly goes downhill . . .

Any news on when we'll be treated to the Wes/Blinkmeister Today show appearance? Goobaletta? Anyone? Bueller?

There's an interesting ad on the inside back cover of my November 26th issue of "Entertainment Weekly." It tells us to visit JCPenney (our "Levi's Headquarters") to enter the Apprentice Sweepstakes -- a trip for two to the live broadcast of the season finale in New York City -- and has a model in Levi's in what is clearly a new campaign focusing on the Apprentice tie-in. The model? Maybe Jenn M or Sandy or Ivana or the chick in Maria's bandana top? Nope. It's Melania.

She's there in a trashy top and her Levi's, next to a smeary red half-assed picture of the butt of a pair of jeans, and the legend:

Name: Melania Knauss
Profession: Model/Apprentice Guest Star
Jeans: Levi's Superlow Boot Cut 518 Jeans
Impression: Lipstick

Which I suppose indicates that somebody smeared red lipstick on Melania's butt and the half-assed graphic is her butt. HOkay.

But I guess that's what they were looking for in an ad campaign. As opposed to girls in red bandanas or flywheels.

Oh, man. And that, wordslinger, just made my day.

Has Pamela become a Stepford Apprentice, or did the editors just cut out all the footage of her doing jello shots and puking into planters? First the pink wig at the Girls Gone Wild party, now boobs of Tara-Reid-esque proportions in Maxim...it's like watching a guy's idea of a girl's mid-life crisis.
