Who is Richard Hatch and why is he famous?

[Mar. 14]

Richard Hatch is no stranger to the boardroom. A former corporate trainer and licensed real estate agent, Hatch is also a survivor. In fact, Hatch is the $1 million winner of the first Survivor reality television series, and he’s looking to survive again on Celebrity Apprentice 4. If he wins, he plans to benefit Grassroot Soccer to promote HIV and AIDS education in Africa.

Richard Hatch continually asserted that his experience as a corporate trainer was what allowed him to work with other people and ultimately come out on top in Survivor. And there is no doubt the experience will come in handy on Celebrity Apprentice. But the audience should pay close attention to how he manages his finances.

The green celebrity went to prison in 2005 for three years for failing to pay taxes on his 2000-2001 winnings from Survivor. And reportedly he will be returning to prison for nine months for having failed to pay the IRS still.

[Mar. 14]

Website Biography.Com notes:

Jones became especially well known for her work during the William Kennedy Smith rape trial in Palm Beach, Florida. Jones’ work caught the attention of Jeff Zucker, then executive producer of the Today show. “She had knowledge of the legal aspects, but she talked like a regular person,” Zucker recalls. The show first booked her as a guest. A few weeks later, she was offered a full-time contract as an NBC-TV legal expert.

Her career continued to take off when she was assigned to take on the role of chief legal correspondent for Inside Edition. Star Jones was tasked to follow the infamous O. J. Simpson trial, and became the only correspondent to interview Simpson during the civil proceedings.

Following her time at Inside Edition, she was offered a spot on The View on ABC, which was nominated for an Emmy award consistently from 1999 to 2006 and won the Daytime Emmy Award in 1997 and 2004 while green celebrity Star Jones was a co-host.

Who is Niki Taylor and why is she famous?

[Mar. 13]

A Florida native (one of the few these days) and supermodel, Niki Taylor, of Fort Lauderdale, FL, lost her younger model sister, Krissy Taylor, to ventricular dysplasia in 1995. Niki has supported the HollyRod Foundation, modeling for fashion shows to benefit the foundation, and she has been a member of the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet. Niki’s chosen charity for her battle on Celebrity Apprentice is the American Red Cross.

From the time she became a model at the age of 13 Niki Taylor was a hit, reports RobotCeleb.Com. She was on the cover of Seventeen when she was 14 and on the cover of Vogue at 15. In 1996 she set a record by appearing on the covers of six major women’s fashion magazines at the same time.

Niki Taylor was once known as one of the hottest supermodels in the world. Tragedy struck again, though, forever changing her life. In 2001 she was critically injured in an automobile accident when her boyfriend at the time dropped his cell phone and took his eyes off the road. The couple hit a utility pole and the green celebrity was left unconscious for six weeks and bedridden for a month after she awoke. She endured 56 different surgeries during her recovery.

Also, according to RobotCeleb.Com, in 2007 Niki Taylor sued the E! Entertainment Network for slander and emotional distress. They did a profile on her promising to promote her success along with struggles from the accident, but instead they misrepresented her as a failure whose life had been filled with tragedy. She settled that suit out of court.

Celebrity Apprentice 2011: Who is Meat Loaf and why is he famous?

Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is Meat Loaf and why is he famous?

[Mar. 13]

Rocker and actor Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) is probably best known for his Grammy Award-winning song I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That). However, the artist known as Meat Loaf got his film debut in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). He also made an appearance in Fight Club.

In 2007, he auctioned an autographed guitar to benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Earlier this year he won ESPN’s Fantasy Football Charity League to benefit The Painted Turtle, the world’s largest family of camps devoted to children with serious and life-threatening illnesses.

Currently green celebrity Meat Loaf is the host of a celebrity game show Rock and a Hard Place that pits rockers against one another in an ultimate battle of the bands. The show premiered in 2008 on the 101 Network, a network exclusive to DirecTV customers. Each team of contestants plays for its chosen charity.

Meat Loaf has offered several stories about how he got his famous name, but most sources confirm that his father teased him about his weight when he was young, calling the green celebrity “Meat”. Supposedly the “Loaf” was added in high school. It should come as no surprise that Meat Loaf might exaggerate the origins, though. He is well known for his operatics.

Asked about his age, and whether he was born in 1947 or 1951, the green celebrity famously replied: “1951. I have it on my passport and driving license. [I said 1947 in my autobiography] because I just wanted to maintain a constant lie. I was born in 1951 but see what a great thing it is, because everybody asks me? And I can keep it up – I can tell you I was born in 1952. Names and ages piss me off. So I just continually lie.”
