'Celebrity Apprentice' Casting Has Begun
Sorry, Donald Trump lovers. No official word yet on whether or not NBC will renew The Celebrity Apprentice. But the Trumpshow must go on! Deadline reports that the show has kicked off the casting process for its unconfirmed return. Gotta admire that optimism! Keep on keeping on. Apprentice-liebers (they're like Beliebers but for The Apprentice), started to worry back in May when NBC didn't include the program in their upcoming schedule. Poor The Donald!
Well, if the show wants to get the green light from NBC, an incredible cast wouldn't hurt. We have no idea which famous (or not-so-famous) folk the show will try to bring on as future contestants, but we do know one thing: Celeb-App needs to pull out all of the stops. Aim big during this casting process, Trumpy! To do our part, we've provided our suggestions for an unparalleled Celebrity Apprentice cast. Try to imagine the following 14 celebs on one reality TV show together. Warning: your brain might explode.
JAMES FRANCO
Uh, I'm surprised he hasn't already crossed out "be on a reality competition show" from his to-do list.
SINEAD O'CONNOR
She has a lot of feelings. A lot of feelings. I sincerely doubt she'd keep any of her feelings to herself while the cameras rolled. She'd be a reality TV goldmine.
RUSSELL BRAND
He revels in pushing people's buttons, and he would undoubtedly piss off The Donald time and time again. YES! Plus, he's a smart, savvy dude, and that alone can take someone far on the show.
JON HAMM
Because "Too Much Jon Hamm On Television" is not a real thing.
SHAKIRA
Oh, how I miss presence her on The Voice. She's a wicked-smart lady and I think she'd stand a solid chance at winning the whole kit and caboodle. She's also super hilarious, so that's an added bonus.
ROB KARDASHIAN
He did great job on Dancing With The Stars (he took second place), and it's always nice to see the lone Kardashian son break out on his own. Plus, he knows a thing or two about being a business man (hello, Arthur George socks!).
SHAILENE WOODLEY
This would be a very off-brand move for her, but it'd be fascinating to watch the eccentric actress (and possible woodland creature) interact with the all-business, no-nonsense Trump in the boardroom.
TIM GUNN
The Project Runway mentor would be such a good teammate! And it would be neat to see whether or not he has a cutthroat side. Eh, you're right. He totally doesn't have a cutthroat side.
RIHANNA
Hopefully, her ideas don't include a Boeing 777. Think of the outfits she'd wear to the boardroom! She'd reinvent business attire.
WILL SMITH
Say what you will about After Earth, people will always adore the Fresh Prince. Plus...
JADEN SMITH
…If Joan and Melissa Rivers were able to compete together, let's bring on Will and Jaden. Yes, Jaden is a teen, but whatever. We make our own rules. Jaden would keep the show interesting, that's for damn sure.
WILLOW SMITH
Okay, if we're going to include Will and Jaden, we've got to bring on 12 year old Willow. The "Whip My Hair" singer is cooler than any of us will ever be. She'd end up a finalist, no question.
MAYA RUDOLPH
Because she's the best. Period. MOVING ON!
DOLLY PARTON
Anyone who doesn't worship Dolly is a monster. She'd be fun to root for. Also, this. BYE.
