Celebrity Apprentice?

[bigbrotherfan08]

what is this show? does anyone have any information like who is on it and when it airs and are they still doing the normal apprentice also?

[Red Moon]

Sorry I don't.... but it sounds like a great idea.

I dont get it....... Alan Sugar with a load of wanna be starlets??? He would eat them for breakfast

Yeah, sounds good. They are doing it for Comic Relief.

Rupert Everett quit after a day apparently...


ACTOR Rupert Everett walked out of TV’s Celebrity Apprentice after just one day’s filming, The Sun can reveal.


Rupert, 47, hated being treated like a reality show contestant, with cameras and microphones thrust in his face.

The My Best Friend’s Wedding star told one friend: “It is just so different from doing a feature film. I went in with good intentions but I just could not cope with the Big Brother mentality.”

He was one of ten celebs, including Alastair Campbell, Ross Kemp, Cheryl Cole and Jo Brand lined up for the Comic Relief show.

Boys’ and girls’ teams will compete in business tasks to avoid being told by Sir Alan Sugar: “You’re fired.” Rupert was replaced by former winner Tim Campbell.

BBC1 will screen it on March 15 and 16.

Rupert in 'I'm fired' TV shock

Hmmm. is the lovely Alan doing it???

[bigbrotherfan08]

thank you so its in march thats nice but are they still doing the normal apprentice too?

[James]

Yes, apparently they were spotted filming a while back in London Zoo where the contestants had dressed in gorillas, or something, and were trying to sell sweets to children but were terrifying them instead!

[bigbrotherfan08]

those poor children

[bigbrotherfan08]

so the apprentice and celebrity apprentice will be on at the same time then?

[James]

Apparently so, but the celeb one is only on for two days.


Some interesting trivia I noticed on that Wikipedia page...


Trivia

The boardroom (and the reception area outside) is in fact a custom-built set in a television studio. Only when the fired candidate is filmed on their "walk of shame" back to the waiting taxi is the real Amstrad HQ building in Brentwood used.

The receptionist outside the boardroom ("Jenny") is not Sir Alan's real secretary. She is an employee of the TV production company.

All 14 candidates film their walk of shame at the beginning of the series, at the same time as the scene where they are all seen walking into the Amstrad building at the beginning of the first episode. This explains why when their exit sequence is shown after having been fired, their clothes are sometimes different to those worn in the boardroom scene. In more noticeable cases, hair styles have also been different, namely in Episode 7 of Series 2 when Samuel was fired.

Although the audience is under the impression that the candidates have been living together for 12 weeks in the house, in fact shooting of the series is done over seven weeks.

Although every show features clips of aerial footage over the skyscrapers of the Square Mile and Canary Wharf financial districts, Amstrad does not have offices in either - in fact the company's real location in Brentwood (on the eastern outskirts of London) is only mentioned a few times in passing in Series 1.

The taxi ride after being fired only takes the candidate round the block to allow the chance of filming their taxi interview. They are then taken to a local hotel to stay the night and finally leave after packing their belongings from the house.


Don't believe everything you see on television, it would appear!
