Okay, okay. Uncle. I had no plans to watch or care about Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, which is currently slated to feature boring D-listers Jim Cramer, Carmen Electra, Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, George Foreman, Omarosa (from the original season of Apprentice), Kimora Lee Simmons, Pete Rose, Dana Patrick, Tony Hawk and Jeff Gordon (I don't know who half those people are, but haven't most of them done The Surreal Life already?), but now that Mr. Trump is talking about bringing on Britney, Paris and Lindsay, I'm paying attention.

"We're negotiating with Britney right now. Can you imagine her doing it?" says Trump. "We're not sure what will happen. She's a [bleep]ing mess. And that little reality show she had did nothing. But she likes the idea of being on television and I think she'd be great."

Hey. I liked Chaotic. Watching stoned people is always funny.

He says that Paris Hilton "wants to be on, and we're thinking about it, but I don't know if we're going to do it."

And as for Lindsay? "Another [bleep]ing mess. We haven't asked her yet, but I'm going to call her this week. It would a positive thing for her to do . . . for all of them." Um ... I think Lohan's upcoming jail stint may conflict with the filming schedule.

Hilton's new crisis rep, Mike Sitrick, said he hadn't heard of any deal in progress, which is probably because Donald Trump is making all of this up in order to get us talking about his show, which no one is going to watch because, come on, people, VH1 already has the monopoly on D-list trainwreck voyeurism. But, Donald, you have my word: if you can get Britney Spears on this thing, I will watch it. I will write about. So make it happen, buddy.
