A Celebrity Apprentice update. Because I know you're not watching! Clay was the project manager in last night's episode; the other project manager was Aubrey O'Day, the other redhead. And, yes, the two actually get along in real life. They hung out together in Florida yesterday and sang the National Anthem at a car race.
Recaps by the Entertainment Weekly blogger are the best, so here's an excerpt from his most recent blog: Quote 1. Clay Aiken: Beach Bum Clay Aiken was my episode 1 to win it all, but this is the first time we got to see him in action as Project Manager. I have to say, I liked what I saw, and I’m not just referring to that crazy fur-lined overcoat Clay was rocking. (Yes, that just may be the first time Clay’s name and the word “rocking” have appeared in the same sentence.) The men’s peach-turned-beach theme was fantastic, if for no other reason than it forced the attendees into various half-naked states of undress. It also provided us the unmitigated joy of watching Lou Ferrigno and that dude with the handlebar mustache trying to figure out how to open mini cocktail umbrellas. Clay pulled out all the stops — Sand! Tiki bars! Juggling! — and even got Kathie Lee and Hoda to show up (although they no doubt bolted out of there as fast as possible once they realized the beverages contained no alcohol). The Project Manager saved his best for last, belting out a little “Under the Boardwalk.” But Clay didn’t sing it alone. All his teammates joined in. As did all the partygoers. In fact, the only person who didn’t sing along was Melanie the frighteningly tall Crystal Light executive, who seemed to be completely clueless as to the lyrics. How can you not know the lyrics to “Under the Boardwalk”? In her defense, she was probably too busy daydreaming up more absurd marketing slogans like “Our brand personality is sassy!” and “It is literally a party in a pack!” Still, as splendid a job as Clay did, his finest moment of the entire episode was at the very top while discussing his disadvantage in the task: “Aubrey is a clubber. Just look at that hair. Aubrey popped right out of her momma’s chotch and started grabbing on to the stripper pole.” I think, after hearing that quote, I just officially became a Claymate. Is there some sort of initiation ceremony I need to take part in to seal the deal? Like dying my hair orange, walking around in an “Achin’ for Aiken” t-shirt, or knocking out one of Ruben Studdard’s tail lights? Whatever it is, count me in. http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/celebrity-apprentice-episode-6-clay-aubrey/ NBC has a two minute clip up on its website: http://www.nbc.com/the-apprentice/video/lifes-a-peach/1392520#.T3EVtjWmOR4.email Next up, Clay will be on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live tomorrow, with fellow guest Jenna Jameson. Should be interesting. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
