Omarosa: Greatest Reality TV Villain of All Time? | POPSUGAR Entertainment Omarosa: Greatest Reality TV Villain of All Time? Omarosa: Greatest Reality TV Villain of All Time? June 16, 2008 by Entertainment 2 Shares Omarosa may never have won The Apprentice — but her obnoxious ways have earned her a new title. The she-devil of not one but two seasons of the Donald Trump reality show has topped TV Guide's list of the Top 10 Reality TV Villains. Omarosa ascended to the top of the list by beating out lots of other folks we love to hate, including Project Runway 's Wendy Pepper and Lisa Fernandes from the most recent season of Top Chef . Also on the list: Puck from The Real World: San Francisco and — of course — Spencer Pratt, who clocked in at No. 7. (Heidi somehow avoided making the cut.) While I generally agreed with everyone on the list, there are a couple I might have swapped out. Jonny Fairplay of Survivor was pretty awful, but so was Richard Hatch (though maybe imprisonment for tax evasion is punishment enough for him).

And sure, Trish was terrible on The Bachelor during Jesse Palmer's season, but Brad Womack — the dude who didn't pick anyone — would make my list for sure. Which reality TV stars do you find most heinous? You can see TV Guide's full list if you . Jonathan Baker, The Amazing Race Jonny Fairplay, Survivor: Pearl Islands Puck, The Real World: San Francisco Trish Schneider, The Bachelor Lisa Fernandes, Top Chef: Chicago Spencer Pratt, The Hills The 15 Meanest Reality TV Villains - ABC News ABC News The 15 Meanest Reality TV Villains By SAIRA ANEES Email Americans love reality TV shows, and, even more, the villainous characters who inject the humor, drama and controversy that make reality television worth watching. Some of the most memorable moments in reality television have been created by the likes of Omarosa, Puck and Simon. They curse, scream, scheme and bring a new level of competition to the reality show. Like them or hate them, they have sent ratings through the roof and made headlines. Puck, the original villain, grasped back in 1994 that he could get more camera time by playing the bad boy.

Since then, he has inspired a host of others, whose antics push the envelope of outrageousness. Today, it's hard to imagine a reality show without one of those characters we love to hate. Here, 15 of the most unforgettable evil reality stars. Simon Cowell from "American Idol" FOX's hit reality TV series "American Idol" has been making dreams come true and breeding stars for radio and TV fame. But first they must pass through the insult machine known as Simon Cowell. Cowell never holds back his tongue, not even from his co-judges. Once, he asked a contestant if she had a singing teacher. She replied yes, and he asked her if she had a lawyer. When she said no, he advised her to get one and sue her singing teacher. Another time, after his co-judges told a contestant that she wasn't ready yet, Simon amended that by saying, "Unfortunately, you'll never be ready. Perhaps the only thing more humiliating than Cowell's comments is the fact that, for many, they are spot-on.

Omarosa from "The Apprentice" One of the original Queens of Controversy, Omarosa Manigault Stallworth or simply Omarosa, as she was known, helped turn Donald Trump's NBC reality TV series "The Apprentice" into a major hit in it's first season. Omarosa seemed to be carrying a mountain on her shoulder. As one co-star said: "It's either her way or it's no way." Things got really personal when Omarosa accused one of her fellow competitors of being racist. One competitor, told Omarosa that being a b--, is a problem that she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. Probably one of the best-known villains of reality television, Omarosa went on to other reality shows, where she no doubt created more enemies. Puck from "The Real World: San Francisco" "The Real World" has had numerous attention-grabbers who felt the need to make their mark in the show's history books, but Puck is probably the most famous among them. His poor hygiene raised eyebrows in the house, especially when he picked is nose and then dipped the same finger into the peanut butter jar.

When his housemates felt they had enough, they evicted Puck from the house, but he continued to harass them with prank phone calls, many with anti-gay insults directed towards Pedro, his least favorite person in the house. When he later appeared on MTV's "Real World/ Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Sexes," he spit in the face of housemate David Edwards and tensions ran so high that producer Jonathan Murray was brought in to rectify the situation. Vikki Lizzi from "Celebrity Rehab" Reality TV gets a fresh coat of drama when it focuses on celebrities, especially celebrities at their worst. Such was the case when actor Jeff Conaway, who stared opposite John Travolta in "Grease," appeared on VH-1's "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" as a patient. But it was his real-life girlfriend Lizzi who shocked many with her crazy behavior. Not only did she fail to see why it wasn't a good idea to keep her PMS-alleviating prescription pills in the house until Dr. Drew gave her a stern talking-to, but she tried to sneak booze into the center in a soft-drink bottle.

Not surprisingly, Conway left rehab and the show unwilling to give up the prescription drugs he took for his back problems. Gordon Ramsey from "Hell's Kitchen" If famous British chef Gordon Ramsey is known for one thing besides his food, it's probably his dirty mouth. What goes on in "Hell's Kitchen" is something you're more likely to find in the wrestling ring than the kitchen. Like a drill sergeant, Ramsey whip his chefs into shape with insults and curses. If the food is unsatisfactory, Ramsey has been known to throw it in the garbage or on the floor, slide it across the counter until it breaks into a million pieces or, worse, dump it on the cook. He has called his chefs every name in the book, including, "dumb blonde" and "f-ing donkey." He got one contestant so angry that she reached to slap him, but he held her hand back. Ramsey has certainly kept the steam in the kitchen and even set it on fire with his temper tantrums.

New York from "Flavor of Love" (Seasons 1 and 2) and "I Love New York" (Seasons 1 and 2) America couldn't get enough of New York -- not the city, but Tiffany Pollard, the standout villain from "Flavor of Love" and the star of her own reality show, "I Love New York." Pollard was always willing to go to blows with her co-stars vying for love from famous rap musician Flava Flav. There were plenty of near fist fights with her rival Pumpkin, and whenever Pollard didn't like something, her signature butt mooning. In her own series, she butted heads with her equally outrageous mother Sister Patterson and suffered public rejection when her fiancee Tango broke off their engagement during the reunion show. She let audiences know she was fine with the breakup though, since, she claimed, Tango had a small penis. Brad Womack from "The Bachelor" They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but sometimes you can. Such is the case with Brad Womack, the most recent bachelor from the ABC reality TV series "The Bachelor." Womack was portrayed as the guy missing a sensitivity chip in his brain.

After most seasons, the show at least ended with couples being formed. Some dated and even a few got engaged and married. Womack shook things up and made "Bachelor" history. He decided that his final rose would go to neither of the two ladies who made it to the end, leaving not only his two finalists, DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft, shocked, but the TV audience as well. Jade Cole from "America's Next Top Model" Tyra Banks may have felt that she discovered an overconfident amateur model in Jade Cole, but this villainous diva told Banks endless times that she was in fact "The undiscovered supermodel." From the very beginning, Jade stirred up conflict, preying on girls she found to be weak, such as fellow contestant Gina Choe, and annoying her housemates by saying things such as, "Just watch out for Jade, because I'm gonna bring the fire baby." While Jade felt that she was perfect enough to be America's next top model, the one thing she lacked, humility, led to her ultimate undoing.

Still, her overconfident attitude made her right about one thing she said after being eliminated from the show: "Jade will be hard to forget." Richard Hatch from "Survivor" The first winner of the CBS reality TV series "Survivor" also became the show's first villain. Richard Hatch's vicious acts of manipulation and treachery went way beyond making others feel uncomfortable with his nudity on the island. His most memorable rival, Susan Hawk, described Hatch as "the snake who knowingly went after prey." Perhaps, but the snake could not escape the IRS, which sentenced Hatch to 51 months in prison for tax evasion after he failed to report his $1 million dollars in prize money and other earnings from his Survivor win. Stephen Asprinio from "Top Chef" Stephen Asprinio may not have been the winner of the first season of Bravo's "Top Chef" in San Francisco, but he most certainly gained the title of "Top Villain." His talent and natural way with food were obvious to everyone around him and he was a first-class sommelier, which set him apart from his other competition right from the start. What made him the villain?

He lacked modesty and looked for people he could ridicule, once referring to one of his competitor's dishes as reminiscent of "cooking school 101." He annoyed the others around him because of his amazing abilities, but more so because he was a poor winner -- classic villain behavior. Amber and Rob Mariano from "Survivor All Stars" and "The Amazing Race" They were the ultimate reality TV villain couple. Before Amber claimed the $1 million dollar prize on "Survivor All Stars," Rob proposed to her, which had viewers crying foul that the couple had plotted their coalition in order to take out everyone else and split the earnings. When this power couple decided to take the reality TV experience together again, this time on CBS's "The Amazing Race," their previous fame helped them get through certain obstacles on the show, and once again made some in the viewing public feel that the pair was using an unfair advantage to steal another million from more deserving people. Fellow contestant Lynn said about the controversial duo: "They're kind of like an STD.

You've got to protect yourself from them." Though they had to settle for second place, the fact that CBS paid for their wedding left many feeling that this power twosome has milked their reality TV experience to the extreme. Jo O'Meara, Jade Goody and Danielle Lloyd from "Big Brother" "Big Brother" has seen some pretty crazy characters, but the wildest of them may have been on the original version of the show that aired in Britian, featuring celebrities from all over the world, including Bollywood Indian actress Shilpa Shetty. Singer Jo O'Meara, reality TV Star Jade Goody and model Danielle Lloyd were accused of being racist bullies when they ganged up on Shetty, calling her princess and mocking her accent. Goody had some of the most outrageous outbursts, accusing Shetty of being a "f--ing liar"when the pair bickered over wasted food. The Bollywood bombshell certainly paved the way for a few of "Big Brother's" most devilish villains. Andre Birleanu from "America's Most Smartest Model" When Andre Birleanu graced our television sets on "America's Most Smartest Model," he brought sexy back with a villainous twist.

After all, it was comedic entertainment combined with eight-pack abs, a double feature that was hard to ignore. His villainous charges? Besides going on Anti-American rants that offended nearly everyone in the house, the Russian import annoyed the judges and always looked for ways he could gain personally. Away from the show, Birleanu is still getting into trouble, this time for sexual misconduct. The most recent case last October resulted in his arrest for groping a teenage girl. Jeffrey Sebelia from "Project Runway" Jeffrey Sebelia was known as the "bad boy" of Bravo's runaway hit "Project Runway." He incited others to panic while he basked in the glory. Later, he revealed that his villainous behavior was really a calculated move: "It was sort of a good strategic ploy because everyone got pissed off and unnerved and hated me when I walked into the room." Sebelia's cocky and combative nature led to many reality TV worthy arguments with the other fashion designers, including one legendary quarrel with fellow competitor Laura, who accused him of outsourcing his clothing line for the finale.

Laura's accusation was found to be untrue and Sebelia went on to win "Project Runway," which goes to show that sometimes villains finish first. Lacey Conner from "Rock of Love" She's been called "Psycho Rocker Lacey," while others refer to her as the best TV villain ever. While the majority of the ladies on "Rock of Love" were focused on romance and getting one-on-one time with Poison heart throb, Bret Michaels, this natural TV villain had her eye on victory and how to pick off each girl one by one. Her strategy involved telling Bret anything and everything that would make him want to eliminate a girl. She also got in the girls' faces and tempted them to take a swing at her, knowing that would disqualify them from the competition. Conner admitted she modeled her villainous techniques after another famous villain, Tiffany Pollard, a.k.a, New York. Although she was eliminated in the end, Conner came out victorious as a villain. 0 Shares Omarosa - TV.com Omarosa EDIT Omarosa Manigault grew up in the projects of Youngstown, Ohio.

Omarosa Manigualt attends an Ok! Magazine Pre-Grammy party on Feb. 7 in Hollywood. (Photo: Frederick M. Brown, Getty Images) Celebrity Apprentice has lost a big villain. Donald Trump fired Omarosa on Sunday's episode. "I adore you," Trump told the reality star in the boardroom. "We've had tremendous success together. You helped make The Apprentice.

You helped to make me a star." He then added , "But Omarosa, you're fired." Being fired by Trump isn't new for her. Omarosa Manigault, 39, rose to fame as the bad girl on the original season of The Apprentice in 2004. On Tuesday, she talks with Oprah Winfrey for an episode of Where Are They Now? airing on OWN at 10 p.m. and recounts how her life has changed since that first Apprentice. "I went from being anonymous to being famous overnight. I did 10 reality shows in one year. I did a stint on soap operas, and I did a couple of scripted shows." She adds, "I remember a lot of titles being put on me at the time, they called me the greatest reality TV villain of all time ... It didn't define who I was. I was always bigger than my reality TV character." Omarosa also talks about finding her calling doing missionary work in Africa, and about losing the love of her life, actor Michael Clarke Duncan, in September. "He went to bed a little earlier than me. And at some point I, later that evening, I could hear him laboring, trying to breathe.

And then I didn't hear anything, I just jumped up and um, when I realized he wasn't breathing I just started doing CPR and trying to get 911 on the line and just — I just started praying. I mean I prayed like I have never prayed before. We were able to get him — his heart started again, breathing again and we got him to the best hospital and he fought. After two months of fighting, he passed away." 137 CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN 27 COMMENTEMAILMORE Read or Share this story: NEVER MISS OUT Life Be a pop culture maven.

'Apprentice' villain Omarosa gets new reality show | Tampa Bay Times 'Apprentice' villain Omarosa gets new reality show By Eric Deggans, Times TV/Media Critic ERIC DEGGANSTampa Bay Times I want to see more articles tagged I'm already following articles tagged She knows what you think of her.

But after getting fired from two different editions of Donald Trump's business-themed exercise in humiliation, The Apprentice, reality TV villain extraordinaire Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth also knows she's probably the only competitor on a non­celebrity version of that show whose name you remember. Related News/Archive Fox News' Megyn Kelly headed to NBC News 2 Weeks Ago So it only makes sense that the guy who kicked her off two different versions of his own unscripted show would put his name on a third "reality" show aimed at finding Lady O a husband. How diabolical is that? "Donald has tried to hook me up in the past … he really is like my life coach," Omarosa said during a recent interview. Here are more highlights from her talk with the Times. How did you build a friendship with Trump? Outside of the boardroom, when it was time to sell the show … the publicity campaign was me and Donald. We were always together. You've often complained about a lack of diversity on network TV reality shows. Is this your way of evening that playing field? I've been very vocal about this; There was a trend where they would cast one black man and one black woman.

Now, you look at (MTV's) The Real World, they don't even bother casting a black person at all. Here, I will show I am the quintessential African-American woman. Originally from the hood, a self-made woman, active in the church; I am that sister and more. Aren't you a villain, too? Villains aren't supposed to win. Certainly, I have been a naughty girl in past reality shows. I've cut up, I've crossed the line, I've pushed the envelope. But if you want to see the evolution of a villain — where do you go after they name you the worst villain ever? — well, this is where you go. .

Would you watch a Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars? by Lauren on July 10th, 2012 NBC wants to continue making money off of Donald Trump ‘s hair and his “you’re fired” catch phrase. According to the New York Post , the network is hoping to launch not another Celebrity Apprentice , but an All-Star Celebrity Apprentice. Wow…there are a lot of past celebrity apprentices to choose from, no?

Some of the celebs being tossed around to return to the mega-show include former winners Piers Morgan, Joan Rivers and Bret Michaels, as well as Omarosa, Gene Simmons, Lennox Lewis, Meat Loaf, Jesse James, Trace Adkins, and Gary Busey. The Donald is reportedly also considering Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, Marilu Henner, Marlee Matlin, and Dennis Rodman. An insider close to the show says that many other past contestants are clamoring for a gig on the show, although both Trump and NBC have no comment. What, no Teresa Giudice ? WOULD YOU WATCH AN ALL-STAR CELEBRITY APPRENTICE? WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE RETURN? Omarosa Picks No One On Ultimate Merger Finale, Season 2 On The Way, Ray Lavender Interview by Reality Tea on August 6th, 2010 The finale of Donald Trump Presents The Ultimate Merger aired last night and surprise! She ended up picking no one. Well not exactly surprising since Omarosa has been publicly dating actor Michael Clarke Duncan for the past few months.

The two have attended numerous public events together and were photographed above as recently as July 25th. On the finale last night, bachelor Charles Parker returned with a ring letting Omarosa know that he wanted more air time another chance with her. Omarosa allowed Charles back on the show leading to the finale showdown with Charles, Al B Sure and Ray Lavender. Charles was the first to be eliminated followed by Al. And when it seemed like Ray had won Omarosa’s heart, he was also eliminated. It seems Omarosa was making way for a season two as she tweeted this morning that a reunion show and second season was in the works. “Thank you for all of your wonderful messages- the SHOW is a HIT!! I will keep you posted on the reunion show and on Season 2 casting. xoxo!” wrote Omarosa. In other news, Last man standing and R&B singer Ray Lavender did a video interview with TVOne during which he dished on his relationship with Omarosa, and his marital status.

She’s a dear friend to me, a great lady.” On The Status of His Marriage and Divorce – “The status of my divorce is still pending, I’m still going through it… I’m at a point right now in my life were if it’s fixable, I’ll try to fix it.” Ray then added, “That’s not saying I’m going to stay married or get divorced but I am going to talk it out.

TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW? ON OMAROSA’S CHOICE ON THE FINALE? WOULD YOU WATCH A SECOND SEASON? Preview Bethenny’s Getting Married Plus New Feud For Bethenny?

by Reality Tea on July 22nd, 2010 Tonight’s episode of Bethenny’s Getting Married is titled “Baby Won’t Wait” referencing Bethenny Frankel’s early delivery. Bethenny delivered her baby girl Bryn Hoppy back in May. Bryn came 5 weeks early for the first time mom. Above is a new photo of baby Bryn with Bethenny and dad Jason Hoppy . Coming up tonight, 5 weeks before the due date and fresh off their honeymoon, the newlyweds realize that the time has come… Bethenny is going into labor! Bethenny and Jason frantically try to rearrange their busy schedules (well, Bethenny at least), get to the hospital and stay calm through the hours and hours of labor as they welcome baby Bryn into the world. As usual, the couple keeps things amusing, even through the labor pains! A preview clip is below. In other Bethenny news, fresh off the feud with fellow reality star Omarosa , could a new feud be brewing up for Bethenny? That answer is yes according to E! News. Bethenny, during an interview with E!, had some rather harsh words for Bristol Palin and her rumored reality show with baby daddy Levi Johnston .

“If it was her mom getting married or remarried it would be interesting,” said Bethenny. “If it was Sarah was raising the baby, maybe. But what’s the deal with the two of them?” “I don’t know what they are and I don’t even know who they are,” she added. “I don’t get it. And it would be too awkward to watch them in something L.A. because they don’t belong there.” Ouch, neither Bristol nor her people have yet to respond to Bethenny’s mean unprovoked comments. Bethenny, who has stated on numerous occasions that she would rather not return to the Real Housewives of NYC , is however open to doing a second season of BGM, perhaps this time titled Bethenny Going For Baby #2? “I can’t have that many more because I’m not a spring chicken,” said the 39-year-old. “But my husband really wants to have another one. I think maybe subconsciously because his brother passed away and he’s now an only child is part of the reason he’s really desperate to have another.” She also adds that her success with her diet books, drinks, shows etc is still somewhat of a surprise to her.

“I thought I was destined for something special, but I certainly didn’t know it could be like this,” she said. “It’s very surreal.” A preview clip of Bethenny as her water breaks is below – TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE NEW EPISODE OF BETHENNY’S GETTING MARRIED? by Reality Tea on July 8th, 2010 On tonight’s episode of Bethenny’s Getting Married? We finally get to see Bethenny get married! The big day has finally arrived and Bethenny Frankel is indeed getting married! A few select housewives aka Alex McCord and Ramona Singer (and plenty of awaiting paparazzi) are present as the Bride prepares to walk down the aisle. With her due date in the near future, a very pregnant Bethenny gets desperate when she needs a bathroom break too close to show time. Tune in tonight at 10/9c on Bravo to see Bethenny and Jason exchange their vows. Photos from the big day can be seen here .

Speaking of Bethenny, though a lot of amazing things seem to be happening to her – think PEOPLE magazine cover and a hit reality show – some are starting to wonder if it’s all too much too soon. I blogged a while back stating that watching Bethenny on BGM gave me some cringeworthy moments. I didn’t go into detail about it but the folks at NyMag.com wrote a good article asking is Bethenny to BGM what Jill Zarin was to the Real Housewives of New York City . As in is well liked Bethenny the villain of her own show?

Examples of Bethenny’s villainess behavior include asking her assistant Max Meisel to pick out her panties for her, scolding him for not having the car ready after one of her speaking arrangements, getting snappy with fiance Jason , or how about when Jason’s mom took Bethenny wedding dress shopping and tearfully told her “I finally have a daughter.” Bethenny seemed moved by her comments and teared up as well only to then turn around and act like she was doing the woman a favor, in therapy, when she stated “I could have gone on my own.” It didn’t end there as Bethenny then held it against Jason during a later argument about how she had to take his mom dress-shopping. The writer makes an excellent point when she says Bethenny “should be thanking these people for not holding it against her that she’s dragged them onto Bravo.” Another blogger at Chicagonow.com wrote a nice article asking “Is Bethenny Frankel being built up just to be torn down?” Bethenny seems to be at her peak right now with the husband, hit show, popularity amongst the fans, and of course the PEOPLE magazine cover. And trust folks, the People magazine cover is a HUGE deal.

She’s been on the cover before but she’s never had the main cover dedicated to her. That’s a first for any Bravo reality star. In fact the only other reality stars who has had a cover story dedicated to them on People are Kate Gosselin , and some past Bachelor alums. Oh yeah, and the above picture is of Bethenny during her appearance on CBS’ Early Show today. The article questions if the tide is turning for Bethenny as some fans are jumping ship based on what they’ve seen on BGM, you know Bethenny being a pregzilla bridezilla. Then there’s also been the negative press questioning her rapid weight loss after the birth of daughter Bryn, and the whole beef with reality villainess Omarosa . But then again perhaps we the bloggers are over-analyzing what we see on TV. My take on this? I’m a Bethenny fan, and still like her for the moment. My fear however is those sentiments might change by the time this season of BGM ends. I hope that’s not the case. Perhaps I’m just overreacting to what is normal behavior by a hormonal pregnant lady who’s planning a wedding. But perhaps I’m not.

Perhaps Bethenny is just too honest and doesn’t know where to draw the line in filming a reality show. Or perhaps she’s just a villain. I would love to hear your views and opinions on Bethenny on Bethenny Getting Married? TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS STORY AND ON BETHENNY ON BGM? by Reality Tea on July 1st, 2010 Reality show bitch villain Omarosa is dishing about her life in a new interview with Vibe. The 36-year-old star of her dating show, The Ultimate Merger , opens up about her past marriage, her calling to be a minister and also discusses her infamous feud with Bethenny Frankel of the Real Housewives of NYC. And despite being photographed at various events with actor Michael Clarke Duncan, Omarosa claims she is still dating the winner of her show. Excerpts from her interview below – In all your press over the years nobody ever mentioned that you’re Nigerian. What does your name mean? My full name is Omorosaonee; it’s a Yoruba name that means, ‘my beautiful child desired.’ My father’s family is Nigerian my mother is American.

I do recognize where I’m from and my lineage. I mean you look at my cheekbones, you look at my fierce fighting spirit and attitude—you know exactly where I’m from. I went to Nigeria three years ago and did a whole press tour there for about three weeks and helped to launch an Apprentice Africa. It was pretty exciting. When we first met you on Season 1 of The Apprentice you wanted to work for Donald Trump, when did you discover you wanted to be a minister? I got my calling two years ago, I didn’t respond to my call immediately but that’s when I got it. I absolutely want to be a minister. I’ve been doing missionary work around the world for the last five years; work in Haiti and for the homeless. Wherever God calls me, wherever he leads me that is where I’ll go, and if he eventually leads me to a church that’s where I’ll be. The Ultimate Merger was completed last year, which means you’ve already shot the reunion special and found your man. I know you can’t reveal the ending but are you really saying you’ve married someone from the show? That was my intention to find love.

I went all the way in, one hundred percent [with this show.] The hardest part is not being able to be seen [in public] with the person that you ultimately chose. It’s been seven months since we’ve finished the show and we’ve [my new guy and I] have had to do some sneaking and creeping around because we can’t disclose who the winner is. So that’s been interesting. So what would say went wrong with your first marriage? My ex-husband and I married very young. I was 22; about to turn 23, he was in his early twenties. We were college sweethearts at Howard University and we had no clue what it took to make a marriage work. A benefit of recognizing that early enough was that we could decide amicably to go our separate ways. And we still have a good relationship. You called Bethenny Frankel (from Bethenny’s Getting Married? and Real Housewives of New York) a “twit” recently. How did that all come about?

Bethenny Frankel was on The View and she was actually being complimented by Sherri Shepherd who said, ‘Bethenny you were on the Martha Stewart Apprentice and now you’ve got your own show and you’re doing your own thing. You’re utilizing this opportunity like Omarosa.’ And then Bethany says, ‘I’m not like Omarosa, she’s just famous for being infamous, she doesn’t have a real career I have a real career.’ It was really crazy stuff because Bethenny was a friend. She called after Martha Stewart Apprentice and asked me, ‘What can I do to extend my fifteen minutes of fame?’ Martha Stewart Apprentice had like two viewers, and The Apprentice had 28 million viewers— so who has the real career? Don’t get me started. That arrogance and the idea that [Bethenny thinks she has] this superiority [over me], it just baffles me, really baffles me. I mean this girl was a cocktail waitress five years ago; I worked in The White House. I mean really, who has the real career? TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LAST EPISODE AND TONIGHT’S EPISODE? PHOTOS: Meet The Cast Of Omarosa’s The Ultimate Merger!

by Reality Tea on June 24th, 2010 Reality villainess Omarosa Stallworth’s dating show premiered last week on TV One. The show, officially titled Donald J. Trump Presents The Ultimate Merger , follows Omarosa’s quest to find love amongst 12 eligible bachelors. Omarosa, 36, who is mostly known for her role on the first season of The Apprentice, describes her new venture with Donald Trump as “a mix between ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘ The Bachelorette .'” Donald and Omarosa reportedly developed the show together.“When you have a development project with ‘the Donald’ you don’t pass it up,” Omarosa told BV Newswire. “Donald is invested in me and seeing me succeed and you have to have someone who is going to look after your success.” As for the show, it was revealed in premiere episode that Omarosa has a history with two of the bachelors. Omarosa revealed she had briefly dated Charles Parker, a foreign currency trader whom she refers to as a “player,” and R&B singer Al B. Sure, who Omarosa notes, “didn’t seal the deal” the first time around.

Another notable bachelor on the show is CJ Miller , who appeared on the first season of ABC’s True Beauty . When it comes to the direction of the dating show, Omarosa makes it clear her show is distinct from the others. “I really enjoyed the whole franchise, from ‘Flavor of Love’ to ‘Ray J,’ and I think there’s a place for that type of program, but this one is kind of different. Ain’t nobody passing out roses or writing poetry,’ she laughed. The Ultimate Merger airs Thursdays on TV One at 9 p.m. ET. A new episode airs tonight. I gave the show a shot last week and actually enjoyed watching it. It was a good show all around. I would like to know what you all thought of the show. In the mean time, below are the photos & brief bios of the 12 Bachelors. Name: Al B. Sure!

Age: 41, Occupation: Recording Artist More Details Revealed About White House Party Crashers – Michaele & Tareq Salahi by Reality Tea on November 27th, 2009 More details are being revealed about the now infamous White House dinner party crashers, Michaele Salahi and husband Tareq Salahi . Michelle, a former Redskins cheerleader, is one of the Bravo housewives cast to be on the upcoming Real Housewives of D.C., which is currently being filmed. Most reports and articles portray these two as being wannabes, posers, desperate social climbers who might also be broke. A quick look at Michaele’s facebook album will reveal photos of her with a number of celebrities ranging from Oprah, Jack Black, Matt Damon, Fergie, Star Jones, Ashley Judd, and even reality star Omarosa . This clearly exhibits the first sign of a poser – one taking an excessive number of photos with celebs to prove they are in the “in crowd.” A CNN report paints the couple in a worse light, as they have been named in 16 civil cuits, and have left quite an extensive paper trail in federal bankruptcy and state court filings.

One of their court cases includes a long court battle with Tareq’s parents over their family winery. Court records show Tareq sued his mother, Corinne, and the case was dismissed. Corinne sued Tareq and the case went to trial. Tareq and Michaele won control of the winery in 2007, but it has run into debt since then. The winery filed for bankruptcy back in February, and owes over $900,000 in debt. In addition to federal bankruptcy, Tareq and Michaele may now face criminal charges. If they lied to federal agents in order to get into the White House dinner, that is a federal crime, says Fran Townsend , CNN national security contributor. Bravo released the following statement regarding Michaele, “Michaele Salahi is under consideration as a cast member, as such Half Yard Productions were filming the Salahis on that day. Half Yard was only aware that per the Salahis they had been invited as guests.” Not exactly sure what Bravo means by saying Michaele is “under consideration” to be a cast member.

To my knowledge, she has already been cast and has been filming for months along with the other D.C. housewives. To sum this up, unless Bravo decides to do away with the DC franchise all together, there’s a 100% chance Michaele will be coming soon to a Bravo channel near you. Omarosa: 'Celebrity Apprentice' Star And Former Reality-TV Villain Becomes Ordained Baptist Minister (VIDEO) | The Huffington Post Omarosa: 'Celebrity Apprentice' Star And Former Reality-TV Villain Becomes Ordained Baptist Minister (VIDEO) 04/05/2013 11:18 am ET OWN After first appearing on "The Apprentice" in 2004 , Omarosa became known as the reality TV star audiences loved to hate. She embraced life in the public eye, participating in 10 more reality shows in one year, as well as appearing on scripted television. But Omarosa , formerly reality TV's number-one bad girl, says she now has a new calling in life: preaching the word of God.

In this clip from " Oprah: Where Are They Now ," Omarosa explains that even though her reality TV appearances led to some unflattering labels, she wasn't affected by being called a villain. "I never accepted those titles," she says in the clip. "It didn't define who I was. I was always bigger than my reality TV character." As Omarosa's fame grew, so did her opportunities, allowing her to travel the world doing missionary work. One of her stops, West Africa, is where her life changed. "I found myself alone in an orphanage… There was a child there, and she had HIV/AIDS and she was dying," Omarosa recalls. "And it was at that moment, looking into the face and the eyes of this dying child that I received my call to ministry." Upon returning home, Omarosa put her television career on hold and enrolled in the seminary full time. This move surprised and confused members of the public, who still viewed Omarosa as the polarizing contestant on reality TV. "There were people who felt like because I had done this show ages ago, that maybe that disqualified me from the ministry," she says.

"I mean, I got tons and tons of support from around the world, but, boy, did I hear from the critics." To her critics, Omarosa has a clear message. "They underestimate the power of God's ability to transform a person's life," she says. "In the blink of an eye, God can come into your situation and turn your life around." Having become an ordained Baptist minister in 2012, Omarosa says she is happy to have found such an important calling. She says, "It's not like that frivolous reality TV stuff. This is real lives being changed." 'Celebrity Apprentice': Omarosa on Her 'Intimidated' Teammates and Why She Went After Lil Jon | Hollywood Reporter 9:04pm PT by Kimberly Nordyke 'Celebrity Apprentice': Omarosa on Her 'Intimidated' Teammates and Why She Went After Lil Jon Adam Olszewski/NBC NBC The reality TV villain also tells THR what she really thinks about rivals La Toya Jackson, Claudia Jordan and Piers Morgan. While All-Star Celebrity Apprentice villain Omarosa escaped the previous two boardrooms, her luck ran out on Sunday night's episode.

Omarosa, who has been dubbed one of reality TV's greatest villains ever, didn't shy away from that label this season. She made waves in the first episode by playing a major role in the firing of Bret Michaels, the only past winner to compete this season, and continued to clash with her teammates, including La Toya Jackson and Claudia Jordan, a former friend. PHOTOS: 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice': Meet the Contestants (Again) The previous two weeks, the losing project managers -- Jackson and Jordan -- shocked viewers (and Donald Trump) by deciding not to bring Omarosa into the boardroom, both citing the fact that they believed Trump was not ready to fire the three-time player because of her ability to create good-for-TV drama. But in the most recent episode, project manager Lil Jon had no such reservations, and she was sent packing. On Monday, Omarosa talked to The Hollywood Reporter about who she thought should have been fired, why she believes Jackson and Jordan decided against bringing her into the boardroom and what she thinks about past winner and returning judge Piers Morgan. The Hollywood Reporter: Were you surprised you were the one fired this week? Omarosa: No.

Anytime you sign up to go on the show, you know there is a good chance you could be fired. I think that the first time I could have been fired was in week three, but then La Toya was too intimidated to bring me back into the boardroom. That was the first time I dodged the bullet. I really did dodge the bullet several times. THR: Do you believe that's the reason neither Claudia nor La Toya brought you back into the boardroom? They were intimidated? Omarosa: No question. I think Brande [Roderick], Claudia and La Toya didn't bring me in because they knew the boardroom was an intellectual battle, and none of them was armed for that battle. THR: You are suing La Toya over some of the comments she made about you [including accusing her of "pulling the cord" on her late fiancé, Michael Clarke Duncan]. Can you comment on that? Omarosa: We are going to pursue these malicious, false and untruthful comments she made about Michael Clarke Duncan.

THR: Claudia also has been very vocal in her criticism toward you [she claimed onThe Wendy Williams Show that Omarosa told her she had "access to the money from the charity that Michael Clarke Duncan had, and she would use it if she needed it"]. Do you plan to sue her as well? Omarosa: No, and let me be clear about why La Toya's comments were an issue. Don't talk about my fiancé. I am very protective of Michael's legacy, and these comments that La Toya made -- if you notice, all of the fired contestants continue to say negative things to me. While we were on the show, they never said it. It shows they are sore losers and angry and bitter. I can't give much credence to someone for waiting to take me to task about those things. I am very surprised that both Claudia and La Toya decided to attack my fiance as a form of retaliation for them getting fired. Michael Clarke Duncan is an incredible human being, and I think it's despicable for them to talk about him, his illness, his death, his funeral. Is nothing sacred at all? There has to be something that's still sacred.

VIDEO: 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice': Claudia Jordan on Omarosa and Her Surprising Boardroom Strategy THR: In the boardroom, you made a case for both Dennis and Lil Jon being fired, but in particular you tried to get Lil Jon fired despite his raising the most money during the challenge. Why did you go after him so hard? Omarosa: My fellow teammates playing this game do not realize Lil Jon is a huge threat. This is not a Miss Congeniality competition of who is the nicest. This is a competition of people who are tough in business, and Lil Jon and Trace [Adkins] are probably the biggest threats in this game. As project manager, you are vulnerable, and I was thinking everyone would join me in trying to get rid of the big threats. But none of them are playing strategically. The only one who is, is Stephen Baldwin. THR: Do you think he's playing a good game? Omarosa: I'm not saying good [laughs], but at least he has a game. Folks don't realize this is Apprentice, not The Bachelor. We're not looking for love and friendship. THR: Were you surprised that Piers Morgan still had it out for you?

[The two competed together on the first Celebrity Apprentice, which aired in 2008.] Omarosa: It was surprising. In the history of the show, there has never been such a biased judge, this explicitly biased judge who gave a quote to Today.com that his sole purpose was going back to get Omarosa fired. [Morgan's quote : "When Donald Trump asked me to be his boardroom adviser on two of the new All-Star Celebrity Apprentice challenges, I realized this would give me a unique opportunity to get Omarosa fired all over again. I saw it as a public duty on behalf of all Americans."] And that really put me in an extreme disadvantage. It took a lot of boys to bring me down in the boardroom -- Piers Morgan, Eric Trump, Lil Jon, Dennis Rodman. I had some huge obstacles to overcome, and that's a testament to how tough I am. It takes four men to bring me down. Piers really needs to focus more of his energy on his ratings, on his failed CNN show, as opposed to obsessing over me. THR: Why did you go back on Apprentice?

Omarosa: To play for Michael's charity, the Sue Duncan Children's Center, on the south side of Chicago, that's the single reason I came back to Apprentice. The only reason -- to honor his charity and legacy. THR: Would you do it again? Omarosa: I think I might participate in a senior citizen version if it's still around [laughs]. THR: Who do you think will win? Omarosa: There is no question Trace has this in the bag. He's going to win. THR: What's next for you? Omarosa: Tomorrow, I'm going on Oprah Winfrey's Where Are They Now? [It airs at 10 p.m. on OWN.] It's my first sitdown interview since Michael died. They also go to church with me, where I'm preaching in the pulpit as a pastor [she's an ordained minister], and I think it will be very interesting. All-Star Celebrity Apprentice airs at 9 p.m. Sundays.

Question: What reality TV show did the villainous Omarosa appear in?
Answer: The Apprentice
