Is there not an african american cast member currently on Survivor all stars? (And I did happen to catch the baby story on Vecepia this weekend-worth watching and she really, really impressed me.) I am so glad that O is off this show. She is ridiculous, regardless of her race. IMHO.

She did talk a little about the editing and said that aren't most African American women on reality shows painted as B****es, and the one that was not won, but was not invited back for All Stars, lol. There is the whole sentence.

She was referring to Vecepia, who won a survivor game. The poster meant that O stated that although Vecepia won, she was not invited on the All-Star game. As Prisonno6 stated, who knows if Vecepia WAS invited but turned it down due to the new baby.

Does anyone have "The pot calling the kettle black" episode on tape. I recall that after Omarosa went back at the person who said it (I don't remember who it was) saying they were a racist, that the person tried to explain that it was an expression. If I'm right, nobody would say the N-word was an expression. And how could Omarosa remember the event anyway? She had a friggen CONCUSION the next week!!!

FYI, Vecepia was not invited because the producers didn't want her (something to do with her lack of personality). They invited, instead, those who would guarantee a good show (strong personalities). Omarosa was interviewed on My 94.1 this a.m. First of all, that was the "softest" interview I've ever heard (the hosts were gushing all over her and her "professionalism" <gag>). Omarosa said "she cannot talk about the plaster" incident. However she said she was at a construction site without hard hats. But that she couldn't talk about the accident. But tht she was at a construction site without a hard hat. I'll let y'all draw your own inferences. And for the record, she was wearing the same clothes when playing basketball as she was wearing when she called the meeting to plan what needed to be done, and then walked outside to sit on the stoop. The woman is a piece of work. She's in her own alternate reality.

Costa, I noticed that too about the clothes she wore while playing basketball. I don't believe how many tv and radio shows this woman has been on; it must be more than any other reality show bootee. What gives? I just wish they would all bring her back on once this accusation has been investigated, and if found to be untrue, elicit an apology for making such a nasty accusation. Wonder if she's planning on suing Trump for her "injury". LOL Rslover, when she was telling Trump in the BR about the "cement" I thought she said some seamen fell on her head, due to her pronunciation. Jeez, the fuss she made over that tiny bit of plaster, it might as well have been a couple of sailors that conked her. This is one affected woman! At first I thought she was very beautiful and smart, but now I can't even stand looking at her and just want her to go away, never to surface again.

Well, I still think Omarosa is beautiful, and smart, and extremely well-spoken and graceful. But damn she's very annoying too. I could only take her in small doses. Very small.

Here is a transcript of Monday's interveiw with O on Hardball (MSNBC) MATTHEWS: Cher, Hillary, Oprah, Madonna, you‘re a superstar when your first name says it all. To loyal viewers addicted to NBC‘s hit show “Apprentice” that name is Omarosa. She was fired last week by Donald Trump. I should say that word “fired” in quotes. Take a look. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, “THE APPRENTICE”) DONALD TRUMP, DEVELOPER/BUSINESSMAN: But what really makes me nuts is the fact that there‘s constant fighting in this group. And it is always one excuse after another. I don‘t like the fact that you two argued over whether or not to have lunch when you have a small amount of time and you were the one that wanted the lunch. Omarosa, go out and sell paintings or whatever the hell you‘re doing. I don‘t like excuses. In this case, Omarosa has to go. You‘re fired. OMAROSA MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH, CONTESTANT: Thanks for the opportunity to be here. Thank you all. TRUMP: Thank you very much. And good luck. (END VIDEO CLIP) MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Wow. MATTHEWS: Omarosa, thank you. She joins us. There she is right from New York City. Why did you get fired? I want all the reason. In your deepest hunch, you were going to win this thing. I heard you say it a couple times at the beginning of the series. You were going to win this thing. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Well, the first reason... MATTHEWS: Why didn‘t you win it? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: The first reason I got fired was very simple. I was truly the strongest player. And, as a result, the other contestants put a big bullseye on my back and they wanted to get me out. The name of the game is to be the last man or woman standing. And they knew that they could not go to the end with me in the game. So they made me a target very early in the game. MATTHEWS: Well, let me ask you. I was going to ask you to do your own vetting, since you‘ve been through being vetted by this guy Trump. (LAUGHTER) MATTHEWS: Let me ask you this. What is your strength and what is your weakness in life? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: My strength really is my commonsense approach to business and to problem-solving. I am a natural leader. I have no fear. And on the other hand... MATTHEWS: Well, if you‘re a natural leader, you just went through a mutiny. (LAUGHTER) MATTHEWS: Because those people overthrew the natural leader. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Well, this was a unique situation. Usually, when I‘m working on teams, we‘re working towards a common goal. This was quite the opposite. Everybody‘s goal was to get you out. MATTHEWS: I see. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: So, I didn‘t realize that until later in the game, that everyone was targeting me and I was the one that was about to go. MATTHEWS: Couldn‘t you have assumed that starting off, Omarosa, that that was the game, to get the strongest person out so all the less strong people would have a shot? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Well, I thought that they would want to keep me actually, naively, so that we could actually go to the finals together. But it became very clear to me, probably episode three and four, that oh, my gosh, I am the one that they are targeting. And I tried to survive as long as possible. But I‘m very pleased that I stayed around for nine episodes. MATTHEWS: Well, let‘s look at part of the action. Here‘s you involved in a fight. And there‘s alongside you. Let‘s take a look. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, “THE APPRENTICE”) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I‘d like to sit down, if that‘s OK. We do have the time. (CROSSTALK) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Omarosa? (CROSSTALK) MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I‘m sorry. I can‘t run like this with a concussion. I need to take my time and take care of myself. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, so do I. This is ridiculous. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She always has a headache when it‘s a task time. But when it is reward time, she never has a headache. She is an absolute lunatic . MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Well, now Heidi doesn‘t want to stop and eat and I need sit down. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You guys figure out the eating thing. And we‘ll move forward. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I think you‘re being really rude, Heidi. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I‘m not being (EXPLETIVE DELETED) rude. You always have to sit down. (CROSSTALK) MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Don‘t curse at me. (CROSSTALK) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What are you going to do about it? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Don‘t be childish. (CROSSTALK) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sweetheart, I don‘t have to down with you at all and try to play the game. Whatever. You don‘t scare me, Omarosa. I could give you two (EXPLETIVE DELETED) about you. (END VIDEO CLIP) MATTHEWS: Well, a lot of bleeping there. Let me ask you about this game you were in. What was the real game of “The Apprentice”? I mean the real game, because you said you messed up on not knowing that you had to be Ms. Popularity as well as is the strongest person there. You had to win the troops behind you. What would—could you have possibly won this game if you had done something different? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: The real game here was to try to fly below the radar, try not to tick anybody off. The real game was that this was survivor in the corporate world. And there was no apprentice for us to study and say, OK, let me make an alliance or let me try to be a great team player. Let me not show how strong I am. MATTHEWS: Right. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: But I think that I could have played it better by developing better interpersonal relationships and focusing on the relationships, as opposed to the task. MATTHEWS: What about playing Miss Humble Pie? If you had gone in real humble, gee, whiz, I just hope I can keep you with you other people, would that have worked? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: It wouldn‘t have worked. As you noticed, the first eight contestants fired were the weak ones. They were the ones that said, I‘m going to be nice. I‘m going to be Miss Congeniality or I‘m going to be Mr. Nice Guy. And those are the ones that Trump took out first. MATTHEWS: What do you think of Trump? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Trump, he is a very interesting character. He has great business sense, very good instincts. And he has a lot of charisma. So... MATTHEWS: Do you like him? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Yes, he is a fun guy. We have a great relationship. MATTHEWS: You really like him? You‘re not mad at him? You‘re not going to wake up in the middle of the night some night cursing his—cursing him to death, are you? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: You know, the great thing is that the man respects me. In business, you want to either be respected or some people want to be liked. I would prefer to be respected. And Mr. Trump respects me. And I equally respect him. MATTHEWS: Who do you respect more, him or Clinton, who you worked for? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Oh, that‘s not a fair question, two different genres, I mean, politics and business. MATTHEWS: Well, it‘s a fair question. If Trump had asked you the question, you would answer it. You can‘t answer it? Who is the stronger leader? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Oh, I would have taken Trump out, just like I‘m saying to you. MATTHEWS: Huh? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: You know, I think I really enjoyed watching President Clinton do what he did. He was a brilliant man. He had very good ideas. And, more importantly, he connected with people on a level that I don‘t think most leaders do. MATTHEWS: Yes, I know all that, but what was wrong with him? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: What was wrong with him? MATTHEWS: Why did he get impeached? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Well, you know, he had some shortcomings. All of us are human and we all make mistake. MATTHEWS: Does he have the same problem with women that you—you pointed out in one of these interviews somebody did with you that Trump sees all women as either beautiful or not and he only pays attention to them if they are. That was your basic point, wasn‘t it? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Well, it‘s kind of consistent with a lot of the powerful men that I‘ve interacted with. Women tend to be their weaknesses. MATTHEWS: Well, let‘s talk about the men in your life when we come back. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: OK. MATTHEWS: Trump. I don‘t think Gore bothered you too much. Just guessing. Gore, Clinton and Trump, the three men you‘ve worked with. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: OK. MATTHEWS: We‘ll be right back with Omarosa to talk about the guys she‘s known at the office—more HARDBALL coming back. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) MATTHEWS: We‘re back with Omarosa, who Donald trump fired last week on “The Apprentice.” Omarosa, I‘ve got to ask you a question. I know you don‘t want to talk about political preference or not. I‘m going to ask you a different kind of question. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: OK. MATTHEWS: If you were a political consultant to both the guys running for president right now, Bush and Kerry, what would be your advice to each of them? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: My first advice to the president would be to focus on the economy and look at the true things that Americans are concerned with. That‘s jobs. That‘s health care. That‘s education. To Kerry, I would just tell him that he has to look at all the issues that are most pressing specifically to liberals. I mean, come right back to the base. Make sure that you‘re taking care of African-Americans. Make sure you‘re bringing the Hispanics into the fold. And focus on foreign issues, foreign policy issues. Make sure that we start talking about our true biggest threat, which is terrorism and making sure that we‘re taking care of the homeland. MATTHEWS: OK, let me ask you this. Donald Trump, you know, when you watch a running back in football, you can see why they‘re great. They cut fast. They got quickness. They can break tackles. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Oh, yes. MATTHEWS: When you‘re watching Donald Trump every day, all those days you watched him, could you see why he was a billionaire? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Oh, yes. He‘s very... MATTHEWS: What were the moves? What were the moves you saw that explained his wealth? (CROSSTALK) MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: Oh, yes, very clever. And he was always progressive in his thinking, anticipating the next move, looking at markets and trend that others just didn‘t see, a very smart man. MATTHEWS: Where did he get his ideas from, “The Journal”? How does he know the best place to put a building up and that kind of thing? MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I think it is intuitive. It truly is intuitive. If he had some scheme or plan, I think everybody would probably be hip to it. It really comes internally. The man is really, really smart. And I‘m trying to mold myself after him by branding my own line of business suits and business accessories, coming out with my own book, designing my own talk show. So... MATTHEWS: And promoting all that stuff on HARDBALL. (LAUGHTER) MATTHEWS: You know, you just did it. MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I know, Chris. (LAUGHTER) MATTHEWS: I know that‘s why you came on the show. You‘re working me. You‘re using me. (LAUGHTER) MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH: I always wanted to come on your show, Chris. MATTHEWS: OK, well, that‘s a tribute I do accept. Anyway, thank you very much, Omarosa. I‘m sure I‘ll be seeing you in the headlines as bold print for as long as you live.

Did anyone catch Omarosa and Heidi were on Debra Norville last night... Omarosa was very clear on the fact that Erika used the "N" word and was just short of calling MB and DT liars about it not being on the tapes... That woman is some piece of work... I can't believe all these talk shows are letting her have more than her 15 minutes of fame...
