Reality TV World reports that recently former View frontwoman Rosie O'Donnell was offered a spot in the upcoming season of The Apprentice. Apparently, Rosie was approached by Mark Burnett's production company and offered $2 million to appear in the seventh season.Not surprisingly, Rosie rejected the generous offer -- and probably told them to store it in a very special place. I am not totally sure but it may have something to do with this Donald-Rosie feud that plagued entertainment news for a good three months.
Now of course Trump says he never offered money to Rosie, but that directly contradicts what entertainment chief Ben Silverman said when he told the Television Critics Association that "Donald personally told me to extend an invitation to her." So, I will allow you to draw your own conclusions. I am just really excited for another full season of The Apprentice -- place in sarcasm where necessary.
If you haven't heard, this seventh season, which is slated for NBC's midseason schedule, will be a celebrity edition where "stars" try to impress the Donald with their business sense. No word yet on any celebrities that have signed on board or if the prize of being crowned "Best Business Brain" by The Trump carries any sort of actual reward with it.
My money is on Puff Daddy ... I mean P Diddy ... sorry, it's just Diddy? Whatever.

TV celebrities subjecting themselves to ridicule from Donald Trump? if I were a public figure, I wouldn't do it. So it's kinda hard for me to believe that they WOULD. But VH1 does have those celeb reality shows, so... anything is possible!

You keep running that highly disturbing pic of Rosie. At least it's pretty small this time.

I could be wrong, but I think Rosie has as much money as The Donald--that's why D-Listers do reality shows. Not to mention: 2 million, I'd imagine, would be a pittance for her...since...apparently...that's what co-hosts get on The View:

If the truth be known I think Donnie and Rosie are secretly in love with each other. Don't they make a cute couple?

I wish celebrities wouldn't do reality shows! I find that it makes me hate them.
I used to like Dustin Diamond (he has to be mildly retarded no one can be that stupid), Bret Michaels (moronic slu*t), Ron Jeremy (big and stupid should have stuck with porn), Scott Baio (self centered loser get over yourself), Jeff Conway (pathedic junkie) and now I can't stand them!
They show their true personality and it is a turn off!

I can't imagine why anyone would want to be torn to bits by this awful man voulentarily. Donald Trump used to appear to have class but now he seems to be a mean old man. I wonder if he isn't slipping mentally as he ages.

D Trump, Is an ego maniacle ass. Working for him would be a nightmare, ergo rosie in his not so arid dreams would be fitting.
I wouldn't want to be in the same room having to breathe the same rich putrid air. They both live in a quagmire of hate. All that money and all that contempt ... Sad.

Trump is really getting desperate for ratings. Is he that dumb, that he actually thought Rosie would be on his show? Dumb Trump....

Oh my God, whether you love or hate Rosie and/or Donald, everyone would be watching. The ratings would be out the roof if she actually did this and Trump certainly knows it. It would be a smart move...well, on the Trump end of things.

Why do the people writing this stuff feel it has any importance? If even half of it is true why the comments like rosie said stick it and donald is a mean old man. Sports writers and gossip writers will do anything to get people to read their trash.

I'm not a fan of The Apprentice and I would, definitely, not watch it if Rosie was on it. Yeah, Trump can be mean, but Rosie is far worse than he is. She has a list of people she has already bashed and probably has one of people she plans of bashing in the future. Rosie never has anything nice to say about anyone. She has got to be the meanest, nastiest person on this planet. If it's true she turned them down, she did it because she knew that Trump would fire her. He even said that in an interview when someone asked him about having Rosie on the show. He said "No way" and then said "Well, maybe that would be a good idea because I could then fire her fat ass".
