Britney, Paris and Lindsay?! Celeb Apprentice Woos Unholy Trinity

Paris Hilton by Chris Weeks/WireImage.com

The edition of The Apprentice that most of us had already written off could shape up to be must-see TV if Donald Trump can close deals with the tabloids' unholy trinity. The Hair tells the New York Post's Page Six, "We're negotiating right now" to have Britney Spears on the series' upcoming celebrity edition, and that Paris Hilton "wants to be on, and we're thinking about it, but I don't know if we're going to do it." And getting a call from the Donald this week will be Lindsay Lohan, whom he affectionately dubs "another [bleep]ing mess."

Other names being floated around for the show include Carmen Electra (of course), Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, George Foreman, Apprentice 1 villainess Omarosa, Kimora Lee Simmons, Pete Rose (who I hear is already taking action on the outcome), Danica Patrick, Tony Hawk and Jeff Gordon.

Trump is pulling out all of his tricks to get buzz about this new season. Nobody cares about this show anymore and the mere suggestion of Paris, Lindsay, and Britney is just his lame attempt to get people to think about it again.

Maybe true, but at the very least we get Naomi Judd! Who's Naomi Judd...?

Do you mean Danica Patrick? I don't know who Dana Patrick is. Could you give me a reference? I generally flip to the Apprentice during the commercials of the other shows I actually watch; however, this one could be the train wreck that I just can't look away from. Then again, it could be so annoying I can't watch even during commercials.

This is a joke, right?

I can tell you I would not watch it with that bunch. Almost with out exception they have no skills, could care less about the outcome. I can't believe anyone would underwrite this show. The only proven person is George Forman and maybe Omerossa. Who Cares.

Sounds great! I love the Apprentice. I wish they would have passed on Omarosa though, she's a train wreck. I'm glad to see they've landed some actual celebrities. So many times when reality shows have their celebrity versions they fill them w/ unknowns. Landing Naomi Judd and Jeff Gordon makes this version reputable.

So, can we look forward to Pantiless SharperImage Trump Steak Salesfelons?">">

This is going to be a major train wreck, that I hate to say that I might even watch. I cant believe George Forman would actually do something like this. I would love to see Joan Rivers tell Omarosa a few things. That would be a good thing.

Trump just needs to stop. He will do anything for ratings. HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE!!!

Oh puh-leeze! No celebrity losers! The Donald is going to have to go it alone without me & my family for this season. We see enough of these jerks on the news and in the tabloids. Who would watch them besides 13 year olds?
Some dirty old men? Thanks but no thanks. With so many people wanting to get on these shows, why do we keep getting "All Stars" and other losers?
BB, Survivor, and now Apprentice should wise up.

Oh, my God! Trump must be getting desperate! This was a good show at first; I quit watching when the same stupid, assinine people were kept on week after week while ones I liked were kicked off! This one sounds like a real "Friek-show"--one to watch during ads of other shows or when there's nothing else on!

The first comment here says it all. It has to be a pathetic way to create buzz about this show again. I don't believe it. Jeff Gordon ? He probably has more money than The Hair!

I have to say that Adam ~ the first comment says it all. There is no way some of these people would have said Yes. Jeff Gordon ? He probably has more money than The Hair!

trump is scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get very poor role models on his show. these girls may be having success in their business but the public is promoting their bad girl image which is contemptable. their target group is teens to 20's girls. we seem to be encouraging these girls in the outlandish behaviour and not promoting a better image for these young women

i enjoyed all trumps past shows, but if signs on brittney, paris and lidsay last seasons show will be the last apprentice i watch. i hope others will take this lead
