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.”

Jennifer Aniston makes headline news claiming she wants to marry George Clooney?

[Apr. 6]

Jennifer Aniston is a smart girl, there is now doubt. She keeps her name perpetually in the headlines and has a massive following of fans who love the girl next door gimmick the beauty queen has always cultivated and put out. One way she keeps her name in bright lights and bringing in the big bucks is by constantly posing for bikini shots — keeping her barely clad self always just in view of paparazzi photog cameras. Another is by using celebrity friends to land film roles, such as her latest major motion pic with Adam Sandler that already few people can remember. However, her major kudos maneuver to keep her name on the tip of every wagging tongue that follows Hollywood gossip (ourselves included here at GCN) is the very real fact she is forever keeping her love life in the headlines. This time, it is not a break up that has her name at the top of Google News — it is a proclamation that Jennifer Aniston made in a celebrity interview that claimed the hot Hollywood starlet famous for her celebrity hairstyle and playing a good girl on TV wants to marry and have celebrity kids with none other that her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s best friend George Clooney.

George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis pet friendly green celebrities?

George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis both pet friendly star celebs?

[Apr. 6]

There is no bachelor more eligible in the world than the currently taken Hollywood actor George Clooney. Presently the green celeb is dating an Italian bikini swimsuit model named Elisabetta Canalis, and while she seems to have more critics than friends in Italy for her outspoken antics on MTV’s TRL show (where she hosts) and penchant for dating soccer players, she’s slowly gaining popularity with Americans and some Europeans after landing a relationship with the famous movie star.

George Clooney owns a private estate in Lake Como, Italy where he and the Italian beauty first met. She apparently has a place across the lake and some tabloid gossip reports say when George Clooney first saw Elisabetta Canalis and realized she was already a public figure in Italy, he was smitten.

Why?

Well, besides the fact that the young lady has a fabulous bum that must stop traffic whenever she walks down the street and undoubtedly impresses beach goers every time she strolls down the sand on any continent’s azure coast and sandy shores, the two seem to have some very curious traits in common.

First, George Clooney was rumored to be infatuated with all things Italian long before he met Elisabetta Canalis. Gossip sources say he was obsessed with finding an Italian paramour who could travel with him around Italy and live with him at his home to teach him the language. Elisabetta was just that — and hoping to improve her English-speaking skills so she could star in Hollywood movie and television series some day. The natural relationship that formed between the two over the lack of commonality of language was, for that reason, a win win for the celebrity couple.

Second, Elisabetta Canalis came along at a time when George Clooney was not only involved in advocating to end the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, but also when he was about to head out to meet and greet all his Hollywood celebrity friends to ask them for money to help Haiti. Before the earthquake struck, Clooney was in need of a stunning date to take with him to the red carpet and high fashion events that were related to the heavy fall movie premiere launches for a slew of films, giving her plenty of flash camera time — but Canalis place as George Clooney’s sidekick seems to have come more behind the scenes where she played celebrity home hostess to all the Hollywood actors and actresses who came to vacation stay at George Clooney’s lakeside mansion on holiday. From the outside looking in, it appeared as if Clooney offered celebrity friends a get away perk to stay at his place for being good green celebs and chipping in to help his charity benefit causes; it also appeared as if Elisabetta played the hot tour guide, helping his English-speaking friends vacation out of the public eye while exploring historical Italy. That made her the perfect pretend housewife at just the right time George Clooney needed one the most, while offering her a chance to really make friends with the Hollywood elite that will undoubtedly help her along in her career even when she and Clooney inevitably part company.

Third, the two star celebs seem to have something else very curious in common. While they both have parenting natures (maternal for her and paternal for him), it is not in either of their short-term or long-range plans to have babies. That’s right — neither Elisabetta Canalis or George Clooney want kids. They both prefer to exercise their co-parenting skills taking care of family pets. George Clooney is famous as a green celebrity for being pet-friendly as the former proud papa of a huge Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, while Elisabetta Canalis says all her maternal instincts are kept in shape working out with her pet puppies. The model is a pet-friendly dog lover who also has spent considerable time advocating on behalf of animal rights charities. She claims she would rather have dogs than kids.

So, there you have it.

George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis are pet friendly humanitarians and green celebrities.

Kim Kardashian beau Kris Humphries looks like Harry Potter troll?

[Apr. 6]

If Khloe Kardashian is worried about being the next fat actress from her cover on the Middle East edition of Cosmopolitan magazine, she may want to do a double-take at the boyfriend of sister Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries — it’s the troll from Harry Potter! No, no. We kid. But Kris Humphries, Kim’s NBA boyfriend, definitely could stand in as a double for the the troll in the Harry Potter enterprise. Long jaw line, sloping brow, the smell of rotting human flesh stuck in his teeth. Well, okay — maybe that goes a little far. We haven’t gotten that close to his teeth yet. But with a little green paint and some putty … why not?

But, dang, NBA star Kris Humphries looks like a monster standing next to Kim Kardashian. It’s like he has a personal, reality television star arm rest. Maybe Khloe Kardashian would be interested in standing in as a furniture double as well. The way she describes herself as fat, with her love handles and all. And Kirstie Alley could try it too. Why not? Kirstie can be an easy chair, Khloe can be an arm rest, and maybe Kim Kardashian can be a rocking chair. She and Kris Humphries seem to be having a swinging good time together.

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.
