"Celebrity" Apprentice...

Has anybody seen the new Celebrity Apprentice?  I can’t lie I’ve seen parts of a couple episodes and so many commercials on the thing that I’m ashamed to admit it.  I guess I wouldn’t be so ashamed if there were actual celebrities on the show.  Have you seen the lineup?  Almost every single one of the “celebrities” are irrelevant or has-beens and not worthy of the status of celebrity.

The show has the following “celebrities”:

Jose Canseco – former baseball great – NOW – a cheat and snitch.

LaToya Jackson – former playboy model, singer, actress? – NOW – was she ever a celebrity?  I think her last name carried a lot of her fame and fortune.

Gary Busey – actor – NOW – a drunk, borderline insane cartoon caricature of a human being (be careful Charlie Sheen, this is your future).

Mark McGrath – singer – NOW – a TV show host and really has anybody heard him “sing” in 10 years?

Star Jones – lawyer/TV Show Host – NOW – I guess she’s still on TV, but you wouldn’t know it because no one’s heard of her in awhile as well.

Lisa Rinna – TV soap actor – NOW – TV show host and a walking plastic surgery factory.

Dionne Warwick – diva and singer – Now this is a legitimate celebrity but has she really been relevant the last 10-15 years?

Richard Hatch – reality TV winner – He’s only a “celebrity” in that he won a reality TV show.  Big whoop.  He’s also a lying tax cheat.

Niki Taylor – supermodel – We’re calling models celebrities now?

Meatloaf – singer – Again, great musician but has he done anything since the early 90’s?

Marlee Matlin – deaf actress – a deaf actress that portrays deaf characters….what range!

David Cassidy – actor – Wasn’t his show on in the 70’s?  Really?

Hope Dworaczyk – playboy model – just because you get naked in a magazine, you’re a celebrity?

Lil Jon – rapper/producer – he’s a decent producer but annoying as hell if you’ve ever heard him.

NeNe Leakes – reality show actress – Again, just because you’re on a reality show doesn’t make you a star…

John Rich – country singer – Talented musician but again, hasn’t been a huge star in years.

I guess my point is that these people have had fame at one point or another but are they really considered celebrities today?  Maybe it’s me but this show should be called Former Celebrity Apprentice or B-List Celebrity Apprentice or Where Are They Now Apprentice.  None of these people are relevant in today’s celebrity world.  In fact, I bet none of these people would be on the TV screen or movie screen without reality television.  What I don’t get is how a normal person eats this crap up.  I guess that’s why I’ve only watched pieces of episodes.  I just get bored with these “celebrities”.  Most of them are making a complete fool of themselves and are showing the world how dumb and sheltered they are form the “real” world.

Hey NBC, let’s stick with regular joe’s or if you’re going to shove Celebrity Apprentice down my throat, how about getting a few real celebrities for me!
