Another job for Bill: TV star? (NBC spin-off of Apprentice -- Bill's job with Trump)

Chicago Sun Times ^ | April 21, 2004 | PAIGE WISER

[FairOpinion]

The NBC project would document Rancic's year working for Donald Trump, overseeing the construction of a 90-story Trump International Hotel and Tower on the site of the Chicago Sun-Times building (where Rancic may soon move into his very own office alongside the Trump Tower sales force and residential unit model).

Burnett also hinted that former contestants from "The Apprentice" might be hired as Rancic's employees, and that Trump would be demanding regular progress reports.

[FairOpinion]

I hope he won't hire Omarosa.

I think giving a chance to Troy would be a great idea.

Considering the stakes, Trump would demand more, than just regular progress reports. He said right on the show, that Bill will have plenty of supervision.

I'm getting sick and tired of seeing her racist ass all over t.v. right now. It's blatantly obvious that these shows figure they'd get bigger ratings by have controversy, so on she comes. The fact that she was caught red-handed lying twice, and with the new story that she pulled a "Do you know who I am?" routine on an airplane, she's just not deserving to be doing anything but scrubbing a toliet.

Oh it's Bill as in Bill Rancic, I thought this post was about Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton - "The Intern"

Well it would be a ratings getter

Unfortunately Omarosa is cashing in.

"Proving that popularity isn't everything, show villain Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth has reportedly scored a potential shampoo endorsement with Clairol and was being screen-tested this week to measure her ability to star in Herbal Essences commercials. "

The undisputed villainess of NBC's The Apprentice has just landed her first acting gig, a guest spot on the Peacock's daytime drama Passions.

The single-monikered Apprentice saboteur (whose full name is Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth) won't be stretching too much for the appearance--she'll show up in the fictional town of Harmony to be interviewed for, yes, a job.

NBC confirmed to E! that Omarosa filmed her role on Tuesday. The episode will air May 27.

?? Sounds like the news from last year when the idea of a TV show for Bill was going around...

[GeronL]

THATS the last time I forget to read the article... LOL

[FairOpinion]

I figured that mentioning Trump and The Apprentice will clue people in, there is only so much room in the title.

But that'll teach you to post without at least glancing at the article, LOL.

[GreatOne]

Actually, the Herbal Essence commercials will apparently never be aired. In the same article that I read of her "Do you know who I am?" routine (I'd swear it was posted here some place), a spokesman for H.E. said that due to overwhelming negative calls regarding her commercial, they're keeping it under wraps.

[pbear8]

Then take action.

Someone posted "Slap Omarosa" on the other thread. Here's the URL -

It's a fun game!

I really thought Bill Clinton had been offered another TV show deal... which I would have bet is meant to hurt Kerrys' campaign... =o)

[FairOpinion]

Maybe Bill Clinton and Omarosa can get a TV show together. LOL

PPV

What I heard Bill is only overseeing the tear down of the Sun Times building. I did not think the Donald would let him in on a big project. I would have got teh golf course job. And hired erica and amy to help out. Oh Yea. That also would have made Carolyn my boss. Yeah Baby. Oh yes I do have a life.

[FairOpinion]

Bill is NOT really going to oversee the Trump project.

"Is Bill Rancic prepared to handle a project of this financing and regulatory complexity? Of course not. As a result, The Donald has refused to say what job Bill will actually have, other than to say that it will be an "important" job. Bill himself told E! Online that "I think I'm going to need some guidance. But I think Mr. Trump has the right people in place. They'll take me under their wing."

So, if Bill thinks that "Mr. Trump" already has the right people in place, what role will Bill have? We think "publicity director" or "spokesman" seems about right. Or, perhaps, "apprentice" -- which means someone who works for an expert to learn a trade, but is a far cry from what would normally be expected of the president of one of Donald Trump's companies.

I like that Bill guy. He reminds me of a friend I have. I would like to see how things go for him during the year. See if he burns out or not.

[psjones]

I heard on cnbc today that people have been writing the company and threatening to boycott if omarosa gets the hair commercial. CNBC also reported that omarosa had sent her resume to Marc Racicot.

[pookie18]

Prior to auditioning for The Apprentice, he auditioned for The Bachelor--they showed a bit of his audition tape on last night's show.

[College Repub]

Her resume? By her own admission it has 7 years of working for dems on it...
