Melissa Rivers Opens Up About her Apprentice Firing

contributed by Jim Kelly

Melissa Rivers was fired on The Apprentice last night, and she doesn’t mince any words blaming her teammates, pro poker player Annie Duke and Playboy model Brande Roderick, telling Fancast.com:

“I knew (Annie) was ruthless. I also knew I was in the room with two enemies. Annie did not stop throwing verbal jabs at me about my mother. They created a very uncomfortable situation and shut me out. But I didn’t just sit there. Unfortunately you don’t see a lot of me where I blow up and I’m like drop it. It was very much like I had walked into an episode of ‘Mean Girls’.”

She also said she’s embarrassed about storming off before the traditional exit interview: ‘“What can I say? It was pretty messy and not anything I’m proud of. But I was emotional and I was hurt.”

Its a cupcake war on the season premiere of Celebrity Appprentice

The first task for Trump’s 16 apprentice-wannabes will be to sell as many cupcakes as possible in New York City.

As always, there’s a lot to look forward to on Celebrity Apprentice:

This season watch in delight (or horror) as Dennis Rodman throws Melissa Rivers into a trashcan and there’s a major catfight alert when poker champ Annie Duke crosses Joan Rivers (making Piers and Omarosa look tame in comparison.) One contestant hits on Ivanka big time but which one is it? And of course expect Andrew Dice Clay and Tom Green to provide the laughs, but who will have the final laugh at the Donald’s expense? Everyone’s playing to win but only one can take home the grand prize for their favorite charity.

Celebrity Apprentice can be seen Sundays at 9/8 c on NBC.
