Bling It On!

Lil Jon, Gene Simmons, Moby, Eve, Barenaked Ladies, Lil' Kim, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Simple Plan and New Found Glory are the pop stars Magna Corp. and Net Worth woo for a charity fundraiser. Ten candidates remain, and one proves to be a bit too hip and another a bit starstruck. The project involves the TV music channel Fuse.

So, it seems perhaps the Apprentice is trying to become even more "hip & urban" with this task, huh?

I wonder if all of these stars will appear or if the teams need to choose from among these performers?

Sounds like the charity auction from Season One. They had a long list of celebrities to approach to participate to benefit Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS. Regis Philbin, Russell Simmons, Rocco DiSpirito (starring in his own reality show at the time, same network, cross-promotion), Carson Daly, to name a few.

Edited to add: each team was assigned a roster of celebrities to approach.

The guys from Queer Eye fell in love with Troy. She Who Must Not Be Hired continued to mispronounce Isaac Mizrahi's name. He was not pleased, but it was funny. Also notable that Tammy didn't seem to know who Carson Daly was and kept trying to think of other 'celebrities' to pair him with as an auction item. He was not amused.

Oh yes! Thanks for reminding me.

Ahhh... season 1 was the best, huh?

Certainly had a great cast of characters.

Now "one proves to be a bit too hip and another a bit starstruck". It kills me that EPMB doesn't preview The Apprentice the way he does Survivor. It's darn near impossible to spoil.

If this was Raj's season, I could see him drooling over L'il Kim. Of course, we were treated to scenes last week of Bren with the models. Who knew bow ties were such a turn on?

Will Alex carry over his new-found hipness to another episode? Alex with bling -- now there's an image.

Judging by those who have not yet been PM:

Craig, Chris & Kendra are the only three who haven't PMed. I am going to guess that the PM's will be chosen before the "corporate restructuring".

That would mean Kendra and either Craig or Chris.

I thought I saw a discussion of this, but I can't seem to find it.

I read on Kendra's bio that she has experience in doing this type of thing, i.e. promotions & doing radio work. So she would be the obvious choice for PM.

I hate the fact that for this episode we really couldn't get much out of the spoilers.
