I read this on Jokers and its from Starmagazine.com...Personally I think its the best stuff Ive heard ....


SEX SECRETS OF THE APPRENTICE

Donald: His Crush On Amy

The Apprentice winner may be top secret, but the boss had a favorite. While his girlfriend Melania Knauss, 33, was often around, a show insider tells Star that The Donald seemed very fond of contestant Amy Henry, 30. "Whenever she was in the room with him," says the source, "they'd exchange glances." The source says Trump often called Amy's cell phone to chat with her. "And whenever he did," adds the source, "she immediately boasted to her friends, 'He just called me again!'" At one point, says the source, during a cast photo shoot, "Amy was standing over Donald, pulling his tie -- and Donald said, 'You're the only one I'd ever let get away with that.' Melania was on the side giving Amy the evil eye." The harmless flirtation may pay off, though: The source tells Star, "I'll bet you that even if she doesn't win the show, Donald will offer her a job."

Amy: Playing The Field

On the air, Amy Henry, 30, and Nick Warnock, 27, were coy about their budding romance. But the insider tells Star that Amy has been seen with Nick in the months since filming stopped. "I thought Amy was playing Nick to get ahead on the show," says the source, "but they kept seeing each other." In fact, Amy flew to L.A. in December and January to see Nick, adds the source. "Now, it seems Nick thinks it's a relationship -- but she doesn't want any part of making it permanent. For her, I think it's been a total booty call." If Nick thinks he can change her mind, he might want to check out her romantic resume. Amy was married to a dentist for three years in her native Texas, notes the insider. "They had the perfect marriage -- he was totally handsome and so much in love with her. But Amy told us she broke it off because she was bored!" The insider adds that they think Amy also put the moves on Bill Rancic in the beginning of the series -- "but he had a girlfriend he was true to," says the insider.

Omarosa: Bedroom Eyes

The men and women on the show had separate sleeping arrangements -- usually. One night, after Bowie Hogg had been sent home, the source tells Star, "a bunch of the girls were up yakking and drinking -- and Omarosa wanted to sleep. She was wearing this little nightgown and asked Bowie's roommate Bill [Rancic] if she could sleep in Bowie's bed. The next morning, after they discovered that Omarosa and Bill spent the night in the same cozy room, everyone was talking about it."

[b[Katrina: Her Football Star Friend

Recently axed Katrina Campins, 24, hasn't spent all her spare time in Miami with her fiance, real estate agent Ben Moss, since getting the boot. According to the insider, Campins also spends time with pro football player Jeremy Shockey, who attended the University of Miami -- Katrina's alma mater -- and now plays for the New York Giants. Shockey poses shirtless on a billboard ad in Times Square for a watch company. And according to the source, "every time Katrina passed it with other contestants or crew members, she'd coo, 'Oh, there's my friend.'" In February, says the source, "Katrina flew back to New York to meet Jeremy -- and they went to Atlantic City together." Another source confirms: "They took a limo to Atlantic City and partied at the Taj Mahal. At one point, it was rumored that her relationship with her fiance was on hold." Hmmm...

Ereka: Producer Seducer?

New York native Ereka Vetrini, 27, was hoping for a "consolation prize" of sorts after she got the boot. "She really liked a handsome young producer on the show," says the source. "It's rumored she left him a note saying she wanted to take their relationship 'beyond the show.' [Executive producer] Mark Burnett found out, and he warned cast and crew not to break 'the wall' -- that line between contestants and producers. I think the young producer was flattered. So if there is a note from Ereka, he'll probably keep it as a souvenir."

Kwame: Top Chick Magnet

Since filming ended, Kwame Jackson, 29, has been throwing The Apprentice viewing parties all over New York City -- but he's not watching TV. "It looks like Kwame's trying to make it with every gorgeous woman in New York," claims the show source. "He invites all these girls. He needs to be surrounded by attentive women. He seems like a player." On a recent night at the Manhattan club LQ, according to an eyewitness, "Kwame juggled three girls over a couple of hours, dancing and rubbing up against two of them separately -- and exchanging phone numbers with a third." Jackson even had eyes for Donald Trump's girlfriend Melania Knauss, says the insider. "He was always staring at Melania in her lowcut dresses, and once said, 'She's the prettiest woman I've ever seen in my entire life.' More than once, someone on the show had to pull him aside and say, 'What are you trying to do, commit career suicide?'"

That's interesting. I could believe that about Amy and DT.

Amy & Nick were on Jay Leno last night.
Of course they were asked about their romance.

They did state that they started dating after the show, and "dated" for a few months.
Jay Leno asked if there's a chance they'd get back together.
Amy laughed and looked at Nick and asked him! He laughed and said I don't think so.

It looked like Amy was more smitten with Nick than vice versa. But who knows.

And on Oprah, Omarosa did say that Ereka (or did she mention a name?) was flirting with the producers.

VERY interesting ladybug - thanks!! Maybe that's why Donald seemed to have a sort of coolness towards Amy... to 'hide' his emotions.

Let's just remember that this is "Star" magazine and take it with a grain of salt. There may be some truth to the article, but I'm sure it's been embellished. Just saying . . .

Well if it were true (giant IF), that may explain Amy trying to downplay her relationship with Nick as just a one-sided crush he had on her. It would also explain the look on her face when Trump failed to be impressed by the way she turned on Nick in the boardroom. When he called her cold-hearted she looked a scolded child.

More "Secrets" from TVGuide.com

When it comes to exposing the secrets behind The Apprentice, executive producer Mark Burnett would prefer that they remain "behind the curtain. As the Wizard, it doesn't serve me to talk about the inner workings of production." But as rabid fans of NBC's monster reality hit, it does serve us. So, with the show's two-hour season finale airing tonight, TV Guide Online is firing off 11 things Donald Trump (and Burnett) would never tell you about the nation's guiltiest pleasure.

1. The contestants aren't shipped home after getting fired. Those cabs, which stop mysteriously without ever having been hailed, escort the newly unemployed to a nearby hotel, where they stay until the show's six-week shoot ends. "They sequestered us because we had to keep secret who was still playing the game," explains Kristi Frank. And for those who got the boot early on, that meant having "a free month in New York City on Donald Trump and Mark Burnett," says Bowie Hogg, the fourth pink-slipper. Adds Ereka Vetrini: "We went to dinners, movies, played paint ball..." Dodged Omarosa...

2. The winner may not be the only, er, winner. The final Apprentice standing wins a yearlong gig at the helm of one of Trump's companies and a $250,000 salary. But show boss Burnett hints that he's "working on" giving the runners-up a little somethin'-somethin', too, despite the fact that, as he points out, "They already had their prize — they were on TV for 13 weeks."

3. Those suitcases aren't really full. "We are told to bring — just in case we're fired — a bag of stuff that we will need for an unspecified period of time," reveals Tammy Lee, adding that the rest of their belongings are "retrieved for us by production people. We were not allowed to go back into the suite."

4. They buy their own clothes. Unlike American Idol, which helps get its wannabes ready for their close-ups, The Apprentice did not provide its stars with a wardrobe allowance. "That was all of our own clothes," laments Heidi Bressler. Adds Ereka: "It really wasn't about being pretty. I mean, we tried, but it wasn't easy."

5. Contestants are paid... sort of. Teammates are given some petty cash (roughly $1500) to cover marketing, inventory — and, in rare cases, grub. "You really don't [use the money for food]," Heidi points out. "You better bring something from the loft — like a Power Bar."

6. Contestants can't phone a friend. The aspiring Georges and Carolyns had to have their cell phones on walkie-talkie mode to ensure that they weren't seeking outside counsel. "It was a shame, too," says Ereka, "because I had a lot of connections in New York, but we weren't allowed to use any of them in our tasks." One exception: Players could fall back on contacts they made during the contest.

7. The secretary is not a robot. She's an actual human being named Robin Himmler, and she has served as Trump's executive assistant for the last four years. "She was really nice," says Heidi, "but you could have a booger in your nose and she'd say, 'Mr. Trump is ready to see you'." Fires back Himmler: "It wasn't my job to take care of Heidi's personal hygiene." Oooh, another catfight!

8. That's not a real apartment they're staying in. Like the boardroom, the monster suite that houses the cast is actually a set built specifically for the show from unused space within Trump Tower. In other words, as one Trump insider puts it, "There's no loft like it in the building."

9. The boardroom is closer to the loft than you think. Trump utters a little white one every time he gives his underlings permission to leave the boardroom and head back "upstairs" to their posh suite; both are located on the same floor.

10. You can't sell lemonade everywhere in the Big Apple. Think it was strange that teams Protege and Versacorp didn't set up their lemonade stands in more congested locales? You weren't alone. "As a New Yorker, I got a lot of flak for not selling the lemonade in Times Square or on Wall Street," says Ereka. "But we were not allowed, because we couldn't get permits [in those areas]. There are a lot of rules that are not explained [to viewers.]"

11. Tasks aren't a week apart. "A big misconception is that we had a week off between tasks," says Ereka. "It was barely even a day." — Additional reporting by Rebecca Peterson

I would not be surprised if there were something between Amy and DT. I noticed the glances early on and there was just something about the way he talked about her. I also mentioned in another thread that Amy bears a strong resemblence to Marla Maples, DT's ex, especially when she smiles.

I can believe DT might have a little "crush" on Amy, but from what I hear, his Melania keeps him on a pretty short leash. I did read somewhere that he offered Amy a job. Don't remember in what capacity, however. I think she's still considering her options.

I heard that it was a job in the Trump World Tower - I think it's sales?

I find it hard to believe that anyone could keep the Donald on a short leash. People like him do whatever they want to do.

So am I the only one who finds it interesting that DT announced his engagement yesterday to Melania amid the comments of sparks flying between he and Amy?
