The cast of the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice has been revealed, and among the cast features two openly gay celebrities. According to People magazine, Clay Aiken and George Takei, two celebs who have been pretty outspoken when it comes to gay rights will join Adam Carolla (comic), Debbie Gibson (1980s pop star), Arsenio Hall (talk show host), Cheryl Tiegs (model/actress), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Therese Guidice (”Real Housewives of New Jersey”). There are clearly some strong personalities there, which is what makes this show tick. I clearly see NBC using Guidice, who has become quite bitchy during the third season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (that just ended) as the NeNe of the season. If they really wanted someone to go head-to-head with Teresa they should have worked really hard to get Victoria Gotti, who was rumored to join the cast on the show. Victoria could have been the Star Jones.
What rubs me the wrong way about this is that two openly gay celebrities would be willing to go on a show fronted by Donald Trump, who was trying to come off as the male Sarah Palin with his stance against gay marriage and faking a presidency for attention. I understand you need a check, but all money ain't good money. I'm sure George won't go in on Donald Trump for his opposition to same-sex marriage and partner benefits since Takei has been married to his partner for three years.
Here's a little reminder of what Trump said about same sex marriage
“It’s like in golf,” he said. “A lot of people — I don’t want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive,” said Mr. Trump, a Republican. “It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”
The best cast was last season because no one brought it like NeNe, Star, LaToya Jackson, Dionne, Gary Busey and Meat Loaf so with Donald Trump's ploy to use the gay community for ratings I will not be watching.
