Chicago Sun-Times interviews Maria about meeting Rod Blagojevich
The Chicago Sun-Times caught up with the cast of Celebrity Apprentice to find out what they thought of former governor Rod Blagojevich. Here’s what Maria had to say:
He impressed contestant Maria Kanellis, a gorgeous WWE wrestler from Ottawa, Ill., who was raising money for the Make a Wish Foundation.“The first day I met the governor, oh my goodness, I was like, ‘This was the governor of my home state!’ I couldn’t wait to tell my dad.”
Kanellis didn’t actually vote for him, but she can confirm that the governor is a politician at all times. “I’d be like, c’mon, just be normal, get angry!” she said. But Blagojevich stayed on message, on camera and off. “I wanted to get him drunk or something,” says Kanellis, whose EP “Sevin Sins” comes out April 13. And oh yeah, there was one other thing about the governor: “He didn’t know how to text message.”
As you can imagine, there was one popular topic of conversation on “Celebrity Apprentice.” “They compared hair a lot,” Kanellis says. “Between Trump and the governor, and Sharon Osbourne and Cyndi Lauper and Bret Michaels, hair was hard to ignore.”
The Celebrity Apprentice will air Sunday, March 14th on NBC.
