Page Six reports that “Trump’s already signed” the following celebrities: “Jim Cramer, Carmen Electra, Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, George Foreman, … Kimora Lee Simmons, Pete Rose, Dana Patrick, Tony Hawk and Jeff Gordon.” Also included, even though the paper misspelled her name, is season one cast member Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.

I've gotta say, this is just a *bit* higher caliber than most "celebrity" reality shows you hear about. At least I've head of most of these people. Trump says they're also in talks with Britney Spears to be in it too.

If that is indeed the ones they have signed, then yes, I gotta agree this is above what most of these shows manage to get, with maybe the exception of the latest season of "Dancing with the stars".

"Dana Patrick"

Do they mean Dan Patrick the sportscaster or Danica Patrick the race car driver?

What are these people going to do on this show other than humiliate themselves. (Of course, that would be our reason for watching. ) Some of these people are somewhat successful on their own and don't need Trump's help or a job from him. And some of the others are past their prime and would have nothing to offer other than appearing on the show.

This show is so on life support.

Wow...looked pretty good until I saw Omarosa's name on there. That's a deal breaker for me. That waste-of-space shouldn't even be allowed to watch TV, much less appear on it.

 

[IJustLikeTivo]

There isn't a single person on that list that I'd stop cleaning a toilet to watch. WTF? And frankly some of the names just shock me. A few I understand. Past their time in the sun, desperate for attention like Rose and Rivers, but why would Jeff Gordon or Danica Patrick be involved with something so craven and sleazy like all things trump. (no capitals being wasted on that POS)

 

[JLucPicard]

I see this as probably being a season long Plug-Fest - Foreman grills in the house, NASCAR/auto racing stuff all over. If I thought it was gonna be a big enoug train wreck, I might watch, but this doesn't look like it's gonna get me watching. Hopefully I'll have way too much other stuff to schedule and this will just plain lose out.

Pete Rose is dumb as a stump. This thing is going to be a joke.

Just like the regular Apprentice, in other words.

 

[Uncle Briggs]

I can't think of one good reason why Jeff Gordon would do it. I'll believe it when I see it.

Ya, but this time it will be full of plugs for the contestants crap - why else would any of them be doing it?

 

[Mike10]

I wonder what the winner's reward will be

I do not think that most of these people would want to work for donald trump unless they were given a much larger salary then the previous winners

 

[marksman]

George Foreman is going to grill Joan Rivers and fed her to Naomi Judd while Tony Hawk and Jeff Gordon jump skateboards and cars over Jim Cramer and Carmen Electra getting it on, while Destiny's Child 2 (Kimora Lee Simmons, Pete Rose and Dana Patrick (porn star)) sing the national anthem nearby.

Omarasa will be the ramp for the skateboard and car.

 

[Todd]

I can't think of one good reason why Jeff Gordon would do it. I'll believe it when I see it.

Plus, when are they taping this show? He couldn't do it until December....

 

[Sirius Black]

Is page six of the New York Post a good source of reputable news?

 

[Jeeters]

I can't think of one good reason why Jeff Gordon would do it. I'll believe it when I see it.

He may have no idea what he's getting himself in to. I just don't see people like him sitting in front of the boob tube watching reality TV.

 

[Fool Me Twice]

Frankly, it sounds made up.

[Fofer]

I don't see it happening. Tony Hawk, George Foreman, Kimora Lee Simmons? They're already business moguls in their own right.

Jim Cramer? Come on. I just don't see these celebs wanting to be "critiqued" or dismissed by Donald Trump in any way.

If they *are* on the show, I foresee a completely changed format. More likely, I think this is just a bogus rumor or more wishful thinking on Trump's part.

 

[MickeS]

Sounds pretty likely to me too. Wouldn't be the first time he has spoken "mistruths" (my new favorite euphemism from a senate hearing).
