Omarosa also said it on the "Big Idea With Donny Deutsch" show (which aired the night before the final episode of Apprentice 3). I had posted about it in the Misc. forum:

Danny Kastner from Apprentice 3 got made over on this week's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. From the promo, it looked like Trumpy would be making an appearance. I'm actually going to watch the re-air starting...well, sounds like it just started (television is in the other room).

Jasper, NBC has bios for both the casts of The Apprentice: Donald and The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. I'm not sure if they are really calling Apprentice 4 "The Apprentice: Donald", but that's how they have it in their drop-down menu of shows and I thought it was kind of cute.

I saw a great ad last night featuring Ms. Stewart and old Don. It was very funny...they were talking about their accomplishments, trying to one-up each other, and old Don finally said, "Well, *I* have world-famous hair." Ms. Stewart gave him a sardonic look and said, "OK. You win"

"Apprentice" Alla Uncovered
By Sarah Hall Mon Sep 12, 6:31 PM ET

That Donald Trump sure knows how to pick a winner.

The real estate mogul recently announced the cast for the fourth season of The Apprentice, boasting that he had personally selected 17 of the 18 contestants, among them a "tough as nails" ex-stripper.

Though the official NBC bio for salon and spa chain owner Alla Wartenberg focuses on her self-made millions and fails to mention her pole-dancing past, all it took was a little digging from the super sleuths at the Smoking Gun to uncover the goods on the 31-year-old Apprentice contender.

Back in her stripper days, Wartenberg danced at Las Vegas' Palomino Club under the name Ecstasy and was involved in a "pretty platonic relationship" with convicted murderer Robert Acremant, a client of hers who apparently considered her his girlfriend.

On his frequent visits to the club, Acremant would reportedly shell out between $500 and $1,500 for a night in the company of Alla/Ecstasy (or "X," as her friends called her) and eventually developed something of a cash flow problem.

Low on funds, but desperate to continue seeing his scantily-clad lady friend, Acremant attempted to rob a pair of Oregon women in 1995 but ended up killing them in a heist-gone-wrong.

Later that year, he also murdered Scott George, a friend from California, in a second robbery attempt. He was convicted of all three murders and was sentenced to death in both California and Oregon, where he is currently on Death Row.

As a result of her association with Acremant, Wartenberg was called upon to testify at his trial in Tulare County Superior Court in August 2002, where she explained that she had simply "used him for money."

"I liked him as a client," Wartenburg said, according to the court transcript. "I thought he was really nice."

Wartenberg said she would meet Acremant outside of the Palomino occasionally to share a meal. According to her testimony, on his last visit to Vegas, Acremant pulled both a stun gun and a handgun on her while they were sitting in a car and began "panicking and freaking out, telling me that he, you know, he was very upset with me because I never loved him."

Though Wartenberg escaped without injury, she told the jury that she was left "emotionally injured and scarred for life" by her encounters with Acremant.

Fast forward a decade and one finds a Wartenberg more akin to the image presented by her NBC bio, which explains that she and her parents moved to America from Russia in 1988 in pursuit of the "American Dream." Now a happily-married mother of four, the spa owner is sitting on millions and is currently at work developing her own European-derived skin and hair care lines.

After all that Wartenberg experienced in pursuit of said American Dream, we're thinking that sitting opposite Trump in the boardroom should be a piece of cake. (Maybe she should have tried out for Survivor instead.)

The fourth season of The Apprentice premieres Sept. 22.

Hey, Jasper. I just let time get away from me. I didn't realize it was so soon. I'll post something today. I'll be in Vegas for the first one, so I'm going to make the first one simple.

'Apprentice' contestant tied to killer of two in Oregon

More about contestant Alla Wartenberg, who producers and even press releases acknowledge used to be a stripper, has ties to a man who murdered several people, including two women in Oregon in 1995.

The man who committed the murders, Robert Acremant, said in court that he did them during botched robberies in an attempt to get more money so that Alla would continue seeing him (she had cut him off when his cash and credit cards ran out). Seems he had accepted thousands of dollars from him "for lap dances that ranged from $500 to $1,500 and more," as well as "gifts from the killer, including two pairs of diamond earrings and cash for gambling." And, when he was in jail, she accepted money from "Inside Edition" to visit him on camera for their "news" show.

Nice. Really great business acumen.

Wonder how far she'll make it in the competition and how on earth Mark Burnett and Donald Trump can feel good about saying this, "We are extremely proud of Alla's expertise as a businesswoman. . . . It is her cunning and her business smarts that got her cast on the show."

Well, she may have somewhat of a shady background, but according to Jan's post above, "Now a happily-married mother of four, the spa owner is sitting on millions and is currently at work developing her own European-derived skin and hair care lines." She must have some business smarts to have come as far as she has.

The guy Chris, that was just fired, was on fishbowl radio Friday the first hour. He was pretty interesting, and one thing I did not know was that he used to be an offensive lineman in the NFL.

Raj Bhakta, Former 'Apprentice' Running for Congress
Season 2 contestant Raj Bhakta seeking Pa. House seat

Raj Bhakta, the bow tie-wearing former "Apprentice" contestant who was considering a run for Congress, has officially thrown his hat into the political ring.

Bhakta, who runs a real estate firm in Fort Washington, Pa., has filed papers to run as a Republican for the 13th District House seat in suburban Philadelphia. He's so far the only Republican candidate to file papers to run in the state's May 16 primary. His likely opponent in November is Democrat Allyson Schwartz, the incumbent.

Calling himself a "Theodore Roosevelt Republican," Bhakta says on his campaign web site that he may not march in lockstep with current GOP leaders if he's elected. "I am concerned that the current leadership in Washington, D.C., has strayed too far from the promises they made twelve years ago when they took control of Congress," he writes.

He also says he wants to make the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 permanent, simplify Medicare's prescription-drug benefit and "ensure that our water and air are clean," even if it means opposing the president and party leaders.

Bhakta has raised more than $100,000 thus far. Federal Election Commission disclosures show contributions from a number of family members and at least one of his former fellow "Apprentices," Bradford Cohen.

Apprentice' Runner-up Lands at CNBC
Rebecca Jarvis will work as a reporter


March 8 2006
Rebecca Jarvis
The end of "The Apprentice" last December didn't go the way Rebecca Jarvis would have hoped, as she was essentially "fired" by last season's winner, Randal Pinkett.

Jarvis is joining cable network CNBC next month. The 24-year-old, who listed her occupation as "financial journalist" on the NBC show, will continue that career path by becoming an associate reporter at the business-news network, doing everything from reporting her own stories to helping out on the assignment desk.

"Rebecca has shown herself to be an intelligent, poised, inquisitive individual with a keen interest in business reporting," says David Friend, senior vice president for business news at CNBC. "She achieved a great deal at a young age and impressed everyone here."

Jarvis, a University of Chicago graduate, has written freelance stories for Business 2.0 and Crain's Chicago Business. She's also worked as an investment banker.

She's best-known, though, as the runner-up on the fourth edition of "The Apprentice." In the show's December finale, Donald Trump chose Pinkett as the winner, then asked Pinkett if he should also give Jarvis a job. Pinkett responded that there should be only one winner, and Trump went along with it.

CNBC is a corporate sibling to NBC and has in the past aired repeats of "The Apprentice."

Newark mayor hires Apprentice 4's Randal to be part of his transition team

The Apprentice 4 winner Randal Pinkett is “among the dozen selected to lead Newark Mayor- elect Cory Booker’s transition team,” the Star-Ledger reports. Randal “will co-chair the economic development section,” according to the AP.

Randal is also working for Donald Trump on his Atlantic City casinos, in addition to his speaking engagements, a forthcoming book, and charity lunches.

Kind of makes Bill “I haven’t left Donald Trump’s side in more than two years” Rancic seem like a loser.

I liked Randal and am happy to hear that he is doing so well. Not surprising really with his many talents.

But, I sure don't consider Bill a loser.
