Celebrity Apprentice 2011: Who is NeNe Leakes and why is she famous?

Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is NeNe Leakes and why is she famous?

[Apr. 6]

Star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes has a dominating personality. She is unafraid to speak her mind, and she has gotten some flak over some over-the-top behavior. She has been the subject of some controversy with fellow Celebrity Apprentice contestant, Star Jones, even prompting movie star actor Matthew McConaughey to say he can’t wait to see the inevitable fireworks between she and former The View talk show host Star Jones go down. As a green celebrity, NeNe Leakes is competing to benefit Atlanta Union Mission to support My Sister’s House for Women Against Domestic Abuse, but as a Hollywood celebrity who gained fame as a reality television show star, fans want to know… who is this woman and why is she famous? [Even if it is only in her own home town.]

Linnethia “NeNe” Leakes is a native of Queens, New York, and mother of 18-year-old Brice and 9-year-old Brentt, according to Essence magazine. And while she also is a green celebrity, she certainly brought the New York attitude with her to Housewives, and she is poised to do the same for Celebrity Apprentice. If anyone was cast to play the role of antagonist on Celebrity Apprentice, NeNe Leakes is a prize choice.

In an interview with Essence magazine NeNe Leakes said of her appearance on Housewives, “We’re going to bring a lot of fun, a lot of drama. We are five fun, fabulous girls. We’re very smart, we’re businesswomen, we’re go-getters, we’re moms, and I think everybody is going to absolutely love the show. We do have our differences here and there. I really wanted to do the show to get my name and business out there.”

Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is Marlee Matlin and why is she famous?

[Apr. 5]

The youngest ever winner of an Oscar and the only deaf person ever to win an Oscar for her role in Children of a Lesser God, green celebrity Marlee Matlin never let her hearing loss get her down. Marlee Matlin regularly contributes to causes that assist those with hearing impairments, and she wrote a memoir, I’ll Scream Later, that details her experiences with sexual and domestic abuse and the drug abuse that followed. Matlin will be competing to support The Starkey Hearing Foundation.

IMDb notes that Marlee also played in Walker (1987), set in Nicaragua, where she went off-set to visit the hearing impaired children in the area. Her next big role was as an assistant distract attorney in the television series, Reasonable Doubts (1991). Marlee Matlin has an interest in police and courtroom drama series and married police officer Kevin Grandalski, to whom she has been married since 1993.

Marlee Matlin said — signed, rather, through her interpreter — in her Celebrity Apprentice interview with NBC, she has been working with The Starkey Hearing Foundation for seven years, work of which she’s very proud. The green celebrity followed up on her visit with children in Nicaragua with hearing-impaired children from other nations she has visited while filming and abroad.

“The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth,” she has said.

Celebrity Apprentice 2011: Who is Lil Jon and why is he famous?

Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is Lil Jon and why is he famous?

[Mar. 31]

Lil’ Jon (a.k.a. The King of Crunk) is a celebrated rapper from Atlanta, GA. He’s known for Get Low, a nightclub hit featuring The Ying Yang Twins, and for chart-topping R&B hit Lovers and Friends with Usher and Ludacris. In 2008, he auctioned a 12-pound pendant he was known for wearing, a portion of the proceeds of which went to Russell Simmons’ Rush Community Affairs. He will be playing to benefit the United Methodist Children’s Home of the North Georgia Conference (similar to a diocese).

As the King of Crunk, Lil’ Jon already knows a little something about raising awareness and getting into the business side of things. He has brought the style of what used to be known as rap back to its roots.

Bryan Leach, A&R for TVT Records described in an interview his introduction to Lil’ Jon. “Jon used to be an A&R at So So Def, and he is a DJ, producer and artist — he does it all. He put out an album in 2000 called ‘We Still Crunk’, which was selling independently in three to four markets. […] It was like early Beastie Boys, when they had the energy of a rock group but they were rapping and it was just so different. Jon and I even referred to Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz as the black Beastie Boys because that energy is what crunk music is all about.”
