Donald Trump doesn’t just let anyone join the cast of Celebrity Apprentice. Here’s what he had to say about choosing cast members in a recent interview with Digital Spy:
How did you choose the cast?
“It’s interesting because so many people want to be on the show. After the first season success and then the Joan Rivers success, celebrities just want to be on the show. I would say probably six or seven people per spot were turned down. We wanted athletes, actors, models, wrestlers… We have a beautiful wrestler and a big wrestler, Goldberg and Maria. Maria is a beautiful woman who’s a wrestler with the WWE.”
Celebrity Apprentice premieres this Sunday, March 14th at 9pm EST on NBC. Check out a clip of a Celebrity Apprentice press conference below:
About.com caught up with Maria recently to talk about Celebrity Apprentice, her WWE release, new website, and Sevin Sins.
While March 8, 2010 will be remembered by most wrestling fans as being the night of the start of a new Monday Night War, I will remember it most for having the opportunity to speak to Maria Kanellis, the 2009 Diva of the Year.It has been a crazy few weeks in her career as just a few days before appearing on Celebrity Apprentice, she was released from her WWE contract. The good news for her fans is that she appears to be in great spirits.
One of the pitfalls about reading an interview as opposed to hearing it is that you sometimes don’t get a feel for the mood someone is in. I can tell you that she was laughing and giggling at points of most of her answers. I would like to take credit for this and say that she was amused by my sense of humor, but the truth is that she has an incredible sense of humor and personality that hopefully will make it to print in this interview.
