'Apprentice' Spy: Star Got Own Dressing Room; Jose and Dionne 'Bad Sports'

By Rob Shuter Posted May 24th 2011 10:20AM

The wildest season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is over, but don't think for a second that the drama, the name-calling and the animosity between Star Jones and the other ladies of the show is over. Insiders tell me that you could feel the bad blood behind the scenes of the finale.

"Backstage at the final live episode all the women were in one dressing room and all the men were in another, except for Star, who needed her own room," a backstage insider tells me. "I'm not sure if she was being a diva or if she was scared to be around NeNe, Lisa and La Toya after what she did to them."

My source reveals that La Toya, Lisa and NeNe just totally ignored Star, which helps to explain the body language of Star and Jackson in the official cast photo (above).

"They didn't make eye contact and didn't say a word to her backstage," my backstage spy tells me. "Trust me, if they never saw her again it would be too soon."

John Rich went on to win this season in a finale that was broadcast live Sunday from the Jack. H Skirball Center in NYC, with all but three of this season's original contestants attending.

"Richard Hatch is in prison, but Jose Canseco and Dionne Warwick just didn't show up," a past contestant tells me. "No one mentioned why they didn't show but all I can think is, they must be bad sports. Dionne made a lot of enemies on the show and probably didn't want to see them again."

It was totally unfair for John Rich to win Apprentice. Obviously, it was because he was given so much money during the last episode, which was NOT a fund raiser. That put Marlee at a total disadvantage. Trump should have made them both winners.

Please don't bring in so many unknown freaks next season!

Sorry but I disagree. I thought both were vaery talented but I thought Marlee should have been fired instead of Star because she was such a poor project manager on that task. I thought she was favored by Trump and he wanted her in the finale, hence Star got fired. Not a fan of Star's butI didn't think she deserved to go for that.

John out smarted Marlee.

Marlee should not have been fired, but DONALD TRUMP should resign too....

By bruce

Star did nothing more than you're suppose to. It's how the
game is played. Each week one has to get fired and strange
cats will fight. Put all these egos in one room and thats what you get, entertaiment!!!! And ratings for NBC.

By kearney1212

I agree with Bruce. She played the game. Isn't that what they were suppose to do. I think they are mad because she out whitted them. I think NeNe is a bit insecure and that is why you get all the yelling and screaming.

By Nene Rocks

Star did little work and placed blame all over . NeNe worked hard and got no credit . Did you see all that sand NeNe moved for the box shoot ? Yes ,NeNe has a mouth but if I had work to do I would call NeNe .

By Muscleman

Star Jones next gig should be a one-woman show in the desert..cuz NOBODY gets along with this hag obviously.

By KA

Haaa. forgot they were even on the show....... losers.

By Mimi Pam

Is the fact that John Rich is a Republican and Marlee is a Democrat have any influence in the decision? Though, I do think it was a difficult decision and either one would have been a good choice. And both charities were the winners in the end!!

By Ka

Kasha: Yes, it was totally fair.. He deserved to win it and the fact that he was still able to aquire money in the finale proves it. That is what Trump likes to see. Marlee had one episode, John shined in many.. Marlee was weak and a coward and couldnt stand up to anyone... John was a fighter.. so Yes, John did deserve to win.

By margie

Glad Dione Warwick was a no show for the final episode. She was just plain hateful. In her soft spoken diva attitude.

By laura22122

Everyone who thinks it's "unfair" John Rich won are crazy! Did anyone else actually watch from start to finish Apprentice besides me? He was a clear winner from the beginning. CRAZY

By kevin

crazy look in the mirror jerk

John Rich was a winner hands down. He proved it in every event he was Project Manager. What I respect about John he was a leader without being a jerk.
He made clear what he wanted and knew how to get his team to work together. It is no accident or luck that this team worked well. It takes a good leader. Also there was no personal drama between any of them after Gary Busey was fired. Gary's stupid behavior was a poor tactic on his part.

Dieooe showed her true colors. What a BEE-ATCH

I agree with Margie's post 100% and could not have said it any better. The cream rises to the top, and it was "RICH".

By Blackjenie

NeNe needs to go crawl back under the rock she crawled out from under. Exactly what is her claim to fame? All she does is reek havoc. The thing I noticed....she always says her piece but when its time for someone else to speak, NeNe out talks the person speak. To be respected, one must first give respect. She needs to sit down and shut up, try being seen and not heard(bursting verbals). She is only being used to raise ratings...wake up NeNe and get a respectable life!

By terelon

I agree. Nene doesn't realize she's was just being used for her loud, obnoxious behavior for ratings. She needs to wake up. Why would you want you to be remembered in life for that?

By slimpickens

I agree totally with you. Ne Ne is a screaming maniac with limited verbal skills. She is a sad excuse for a woman.
