Duchess of York Getting Hired By Trump on 'Apprentice'?

By Rob Shuter Posted May 27th 2010 08:37AM

Sarah Ferguson has certainly been through a lot this week after her pay-for-access sting was published for the world to see. Now, the Duchess of York is looking to get things back on track both personally and financially, and none other than The Donald might be her new boss. All of the details on Sarah's possible 'Apprentice' endeavor ... after the jump!

Duchess and Donald

Sources close to Sarah Ferguson are telling me that she is overwhelmed by the amount of public support she has received in America, so much so that she is considering moving to live in New York full time. However, its not just kind words that have been flooding in -- Sarah has also been receiving job offers.

"Donald Trump himself wants to help Sarah out of this awful mess that she has gotten herself into and is discussing finding Sarah a role on his hit show 'The Apprentice,'" a TV executive tells me. "It's not yet clear if Sarah would compete, judge or be Donald's eyes and ears on the next season of the 'Apprentice' -- not the celebrity version. However, what is clear is that whatever Donald wants, he usually gets."

Sarah is determined to never mess up again, and is telling friends that if anything good comes out of this horrid situation, she will grab it and build herself a better tomorrow.

She has passed on offers to do a tell-all interview in exchange for a huge amount of money, which she so desperately needs. Why, you ask? The Duchess thinks it is wrong to make money from a story about accepting cash for access.

Good, I hope Donald Trump does help her out. She has been treated terribly by the Royals. She received a terrible settlment from the them after giving up a normal life to have the queen's grandchildren. All of my sympathy goes to her as she struggles to rebuild her life.

But seriously, what kind of lawyer did she have? If Madonna's ex could get millions and Paul McCartney's ex could do the same,why didn't she hire one of those lawyers? Where the hell did she get her divorce attorney, off an ad at the bus stop?

By drexel6337

Why are Americans alway there to support bad behavior. I understand how she could be desperate enough to use her ties with Royalty to make money. It is not criminal behavior but also not behavior to cheer about..... it is however a tacky person like Trump who would honor this as a savy business skill. This type of "back room money talks" way of doing business is for the lowest kind of businessman and politician.
Please stop the cheers.

Why is Fergy even in the news? She's still a child emotionally.
This type of hype and exploitation forced upon the American public is prime facie evidence of decadence in our society.

Only a fool will sit around and watch this garbage.

What's your source?

By Lila

Ughhh! Isn't it a crime to take money (extortion)to set up appoinments with her ex? So what now, Trump hires criminals?

No, it is not illegal ~~ read the articles. It's just "tacky."

Sarah Ferguson is a business woman and she is merely using her resources to setup an appointment. This is NOT a Bribe it is a business transaction. She did not force anyone into anything as it was mutually agreed.
What's the difference between what she did and what lobbyists do to gain access to politicians here in the U.S. Businesses bribe politicians to be able to talk with them, then bribe them more to get special interest deals.

most of what the donald gets arte bankruptcies. this is the most money he has made other than what daddy gave him. he is a likeable fraud

By Olivia

Leave Sarah alone. Much like Diana she was used as a baby making machine to produce heirs and then she was discarded. Royals in Britain have been doing this for hundreds of years!
She was left with a crap settlement and more power to her to try and get some payback.

By rosanna

I respect hardly anyone less than those on "reality shows".
For the most part, they are incredibly boring and vacant....as are the participants.
Find another gig, Fergie

By Skyboi

NBC just announced that Sarah Ferguson will not be appearing on The Apprentice. Instead, they felt that she would be best represented by another show that fits her current reputation - The Biggest Loser

By Cali

Yep, this country is going down the tubes fast. Do something illicit, underhanded, deceitful or corrupt and you get a tv show, money, and fame. I love how all these people do such horrific things and then try to "save" themselves with a "reality" show... and the networks buy into it, even encourage it. Sick I tell you.

One sleaze hiring another sleaze

In Britian there should be a law against accepting money for access. Sarah should be in jail! She's a criminal!

By your reasoning, political lobbiests are criminals and should be licked up.

Oops! Make that "locked up."
