“The Apprentice” will happen again, but this time it will have a twist. This time celebrities will be the contestants. Here’s the story from AOL News:

Celebs to Compete on Revived ‘Apprentice’

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (July 16) - Check your publicist at the boardroom door - NBC is inviting celebrities to try to wow Donald Trump in the next version of “The Apprentice.”

And while it would make for a marquee matchup, don’t expect Rosie O’Donnell to be among them

It will never happen in this lifetime or beyond,” said Cindi Berger, O’Donnell’s spokeswoman.

The network announced Monday that the game show will be back in the middle of next season with the celebrity twist, the winner donating proceeds to charity instead of going to work for The Donald.

NBC had canceled “The Apprentice” due to low ratings when it announced its next season schedule in May. But the network hired Ben Silverman as its new entertainment chief shortly thereafter, and he called on Trump and executive producer Mark Burnett to revive the show.

No contestants were named in NBC’s announcement. The network said it was looking for people with entreprenurial abilities in the areas of sports, entertainment and fashion.

Which, of course, raised the question of O’Donnell, Trump’s nemesis, maybe getting involved.

“It would be great to have Rosie on `The Apprentice,”‘ Silverman said at a morning Television Critics Association news conference. “Donald personally told me to extend an invitation to her.”

NBC entertainment co-chairman Marc Graboff echoed Silverman’s comment, saying “we’d love her” to be on the show.

O’Donnell’s spokeswoman, however, quickly put a freeze on the idea. She did confirm, though, that the former talk host and “The View” panelist was in talks with NBC about other projects.

What celebrities would add a little spice or interest to the show? Here’s my choice of a lineup:

Jessica Simpson - the Chicken of the Sea perspective
Nicole Richey - the anorexic look
George Clooney - the cool-for-the-cameras perspective
Chris Rock - some edginess
Elizabeth Hasselbeck - some common sense
Jack Nicholson - the “I-don’t-give-a-shit” perspective
Angelina Jolie - the ho/madonna perspective
Kim Cattrall - party girl view
Matthew McConaughey - gotta have one hunk in there
Sanjaya Malakar - comic relief - plus he’d be required to have a different hairdo every day

It’s getting a little old - and sad. Rosie O’Donnell can’t seem to let go of her resentment against Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Donald Trump. Here’s her most recent comment about her former “The View” buddy, Elizabeth Hasselbeck:

“Her only fucking credit was Survivor. Come on!”

Apparently a person must have what Rosie considers acceptable “credit” to be considered a worthwhile person. And Rosie’s comment about Elizabeth was made after she drew horns, tail and a goatee on a photo of Elizabeth. The immaturity and childish words are almost sad - but not quite. She’s goes after Donald Trump again, too.

Here’s the clip:

I’d like to see Rosie on Survivor. Well, not really. I wouldn’t watch it. The point, though, is that Rosie wouldn’t make it through the first few days of Survivor. She’s such a petty and embittered woman. If she weren’t so annoying, it would be sad.

I checked Rosie’s website - just to see what it was like, and I was interested to read about how tolerant and accepting Rosie is of “almost everyone.” Rosie, enjoy your GLBT cruise and give up your mean-spirited comments. Your childish outbursts only diminish you further. Let it go, and move on.
