MUMBAI:
US broadcaster NBC will start a celebrity version of its reality
show The Apprentice from next month.
Fourteen celebrities hit the street to perform challenges
for the host Donald Trump. At the end of each episode, one
of them is shown the door.
In
the first episode, the celebrities try their hand at one of
the most quintessential New York jobs: hot dog vendor. The
team that makes the most money wins. However, being famous
has its privileges, as candidates try to use their contacts
to sell winers at $5,000 and $10,000 a pop.
The
stars not only bring out their famous friends to help but
they catch the attention of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
For the first time, the 14 celebrities are stripped of their
managers, personal assistants, agents and publicists, and
are thrown out of their comfort zones. They quickly begin
to size up each other's ego, as they come face to face trying
to split into two teams and choose team captains.
Trump's
eyes and ears on the task are his daughter Ivanka and eldest
son, Donald Jr.
The
14 celebrity candidates competing for charity include actor
Stephen Baldwin, former Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci and
Lennox Lewis.
