Another heads home on 'Celebrity Apprentice'Tia, you’re fired! And so it went on Sunday night, when actress and singer Tia Carrere became Donald Trump’s latest victim on “The Celebrity Apprentice.” The Grammy winner was given the ax after she took responsibility for the women’s latest team loss.
She had gone head-to-head with the men’s team project manager, Lou Ferrigno, whose team accurately predicted that they'd "mop the floor" with her, in reference to their task: creating a viral video for a new floor mop by O-Cedar. But in the end, Carrere faced the fire with fellow team members Aubrey O’Day and the task’s creative director Lisa Lampanelli - where she got burned. “You should fire Tia because she's project manager,” suggested O’Day. "[Tia] has 20-something years of experience on me," she continued. "I'm overshadowing her at 27…That's a problem." Ultimately, Carrere would agree. "Unfortunately I know as project manager, my head is on the chopping block," she told Trump. But the confession did not keep the star from trying to take the other ladies down with her. "[But] if I throw myself on the knife, as it were, take one for the team … because I was the clearing house for info, I was the final say, I approved everything and I was the task leader - if I do that, will you fire another person on the team as well?" she asked Trump. Trump said no, and so the singer owned up. The Latin beauty hugged the other women goodbye but threw barbs at them and the others during the taxi ride home. "I'm happy to leave now with my head held high," she said. "The game is getting to a place where people are getting ugly and cruel with each other, and I don't want to be a part of that." "I just hope they can sleep at night," she quipped. |

Magnificent web site. A lot of helpful information here. I am sending it to several pals ans also sharing in delicious. And certainly, thanks to your effort!
1) Tia is NOT Latin. She is Asian/Hawaiian/Spanish.
2) For someone who is fighting for the LGBT community to advocate against bullying, like she had in her childhood, Aubrey really ought to apologize to Tia for being quite narrowminded. Aubrey claimed that Tia was less experienced as her because she did not make eye contact. In Asian American families, that is a sign of respect, not weakness. Aubrey, making assumptions without understanding different cultures and calling Tia "50", you came across as a bully. I have been bullied for being LGBT. I have also been bullied for being Asian.
It takes a big woman to realize that the two are really not so different.
OMG ! These women with all their plastic surgery and tons of makeup look like clowns ! Of course Miss Universe is a beauty but even she is phony. I never thought i'd say Lisa Lampinelli looks good compared to these freaks !!!!
Aubrey O'Day was speaking the truth. PREACH AUBREY!!!!!!!!!
Carrere is just a talentless face; she had no business being on the show. Hey Taylor, speak much? Take some grammar and spelling lessons before your next post...
They need to FIRE the red head. She talks to much and she thinks that she knows everything. She is jealous , she just a Bit$$. She is not as smart as she think she is . FIRE her........................so you can break up her and the other woman that tells jokes. She act like she wants to eat her up...................always on her side.
Hey! Look at all my accomplishments – I am a superstar!
Observer is a moron.
Not as big of a moron as Aubrey O'Day. Just a pretty face, and probably plastic at that.
