Pamy, go to http://refugeesinternational.org/ for more info.

FWIW, humanitarian issues are just as important as any other issues. Who's to say which charity is more important than another? I support animal, environmental, and humanitarian causes. For very personal reasons, I do not support many humanitarian charities in the USA because they support causes that I am very much against.

"I want to thank Mr. Trump for the way he hired Joan Rivers. In the previous 7 seasons of The Apprentice he has never done anything but pointed to the winner and said “You’re Hired.” Last night, instead, he looked at me and, after asking if I knew what he was going to say, and said, “Annie, You’re Fired.” Nice slowroll. Good game, sir."

Awesome!! I wonder if Trump did that with the intention of trying to fool her-cuz poker players are supposed to read people so well.

Joan Rivers was the only American to be invited to the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles. Joan and Camilla worked together on the charities for Osteoporosis.

The party planner guy was on Barbra Walter's radio show yesterday and he sure had something to say...LOL

Party planner David Tutera, who memorably clashed with eventual Celebrity Apprentice winner Joan Rivers on Sunday's finale, told Barbara Walters on her Sirius XM Radio show Monday that Rivers is "a monster." Tutera was tasked to work with Rivers to plan a charity auction, but he told Walters he quit in part because "Joan and Melissa [Rivers] were completely incapable of giving me their insight on how the party should look. They had zero direction.... In 23 years of being in business, I have never left anyone, no matter how difficult they are to work with. Her behavior towards any human being was so unacceptable to me. [She's] such a monster I cannot begin to even explain."

There's a little more here:

...and Mr. Tutera received a ton of free publicity, didn't he?

He certainly did but it wouldn't be in his interest to be negative about Joan for no reason whatsoever.

I find it hard to believe that Joan won this thing based on the money raised. I know that it isn't all about the money (at least that was Trump's latest view) but the difference was so extreme.

I've watched 3 or 4 of Tutera's wedding show, and he truly seems even tempered or even mild mannered. A likeable guy. So knowing how he acts away from CB, I sort of believe him that Joan was unbearable to work with.

I'm watching The View right now, and Joan is live on the phone defending herself from the party planner. She is really insulting him.

eta: The audience cringed when Joan told everyone to never go to this guy for party planning and was talking about him being gay.

I thought Annie got railroaded over the event planner issue. Trump really was never interested in hearing her side, and of course she was right about that. She should have known at that point, that the end was already decided.

As for refugees international, no, they don't let people come here illegally. In fact, the person highlighted on Annie's video had been separated for almost two years from her young sons, unable to get them a VISA to be with her. Refugees international worked with the appropriate agencies and got them reunited, all quite legally.

Karuuna, that was the point that I was trying to make (rather unsuccessfully) on Sunday night. This was filmed a couple of months ago and surely Trump had more than enough time to find out the Joan was lying about the event planner.

Naja, I am not surprised. She was pretty vindictive when she was on The Ellen Show. And what does his being gay (if he is) have anything to do with anything?

If Trump is having something to do with a new show of Joan's (or some relative is), and there's another connection somewhere, then no wonder Ms Rivers won. All of the rest of the celebs on this show ought to be crying foul. It wasn't a "game" to be played to determine a winner if the winner was pre-determined.

Most of the "contestants" on this show strive to be "D" list. Outside of poker circles no one knew who Annie Duke is. The suitcase girls and playmates are anonymous pretty girls. The others are known only by people who follow their sport or niche shows or whatever. Trump kept the three well knowns longer than they should have. Dennis should have been ousted the first time he drank "on the job." Clint was a jerk most of the time and should have been gone. BUT, if the "A" list people are kicked out early, how is Trump going to get quality people for the next show? He needed to keep people who most viewers would recognize. And the winner also had to be well known.

It doesn't bother me that this is the case because I am entertained and the money does go to good causes. I disliked Annie, Clint and Dennis and thought Kloe and Tionne got raw deals, but I was entertained and that's the point of the show... well, that and product placement.

I'm not sure that Annie Duke went on for the sake of publicity. I think she saw it as a game, and she loves competing and winning.

I do think the deck was stacked though. Although I like Ms. Rivers, her comments in the final board room didn't seem to reflect reality very much; and often seemed out of left field. I wasn't surprised she won, because I didn't expect a fair outcome, but the bias seemed so obvious I was very uncomfortable.

Well, I was NOT entertained by Ms. Rivers' vindictive and hate-filled spewing. That's why I skipped the finale. Donald Trump should be ashamed of himself--and so should Joan.

She doesn't get a pass from me for her age, either. My mother is 85 and she may have some out-of-date views, but she would never call anyone Hitler.

Joan didn't call anyone Hitler. She said Annie acted worse than Hitler.

I also happen to think that Annie was much more vindictive than Joan. She said a lot of venom filled things. And behind Joan's back. That in itself is soooo much worse. At least Joan said everything right in front of Annie.

With Joan, you know exactly what you're getting. With Annie, she's got more faces than Joan's had facelifts.

Joan said it right to Annie's face...Annie spent more time slandering Joan's name behind her back. I respect Joan.

I was a Joan supporter but she was so vile in that finale and Annie WON bottom line... how has it been about the money like forever and suddenly she gets $300,000 more and loses??? Then DT tricks her into thinking he's hiring her... Annie didn't deserve to be treated like that even if she wasn't anyone's favorite...

Annie did not win, bottom line. There were 5 criteria for winning and they knew that. Joan won 3 of them. Trump can change the rules of how he says he is hiring or firing someone any time he wants, it's his show and he makes the rules.
