NY Reality TV School: Register Now!


The good folks at Slate took in some of the coursework offered by the New York Reality TV School. Apparently this place teaches you how to let your freak flag fly just right to attract the attention of all the right people.

You can sign -up for an intensive one-time workshop or a five week course. The intensive course is three hours of improvisational training, practicing for reality show challenges/games, strategies for dealing with wacky personalities, etc. You can also sign up for a Q&A session with a casting director.

For $300 bucks you can sign-up for the five week course and really find yourself. Figure out the best ways to make a submission tape, tell your life stories, resolve (or instigate) conflict and more.

The program does most some legit credentials. Apparently they've helped folks get on shows like Top Chef,The Bachelor, and The Apprentice. But seriously? At what point do you hit rock bottom and decide a piece of your next pay-check is going towards reality show school?

Though I suppose there are worse ways to spend your stimulus check.

Celebrity Apprentice Lacks Celebrities!


The list of Z-List celebrities Donald Trump gathered to appear on his umpteenth installment of the The Apprentice is out! For the full list click here.

My favorite selections are:

  • Stephan Baldwin: Loved him on Celebrity Mole! Stars without scruples are the best kind. He'd pick a fight for a roast beef sandwich.
  • Gene Simmons: The only person on the show with actual street cred. His ego is bigger than Trump's so it should be a nice clash of the titans...and the bad haircuts.
  • Omarosa: She's famous for appearing on the first season of The Apprentice. Not only was she a huge bitch but she acted like she almost died when a piece of drywall fell on her head. I can't wait to see her lose her shit when she drops a very important file folder.
Is anyone actually going to watch this? Is the novelty great enough to give it a chance? If nothing else it will be nice to see Trump again. He kind of needs this season to be a hit. Otherwise, he can always go back to his true calling at Donald Trump's House of Wings.
