LaToya Jackson will be on 'The Celebrity Apprentice'

I hate the fact that for some reason, women can never work well together (okay I shouldn't say never..) There's always cattiness, bitchiness and just plain rudeness. :no:
 
Before this Celebrity Apprentice began I thought LaToya would be wimpy or stupid but she is neither. Okay, she wasn't the perfect project manager but she gave it her best effort, stood her ground when giving the catty negative women instructions, came up with her own ideas, put in the work and never let them see her sweat, lol. I do have a new respect for LaToya. I don't think she will win but she has come far and should be proud of the work she's done so far. Those other women are essentially bullies, which is sad. I thought bullying was for the schoolyard.

Well, Latoya won $60k so far for charity. Which is good. Lisa, nor Dione, nor even Nene & Hope (so far) didn't win anything for their charity.

That was really sad. They should have celebrated with LaToya instead of wishing or helping her (unsuccessfully) to fail. These women are not team players.

It was never mentioned in the boardroom that LaToya went over budget. Guess it wasn't as big a problem as Star tried to make it? I'm glad LaToya stood her ground with these bossy loud mouths.

NONSENSE!! Latoya should be busy helping the LAPD solve the conspiracy surrounding her brother's murder. That fall guy Murray may walk, thank to his family, they should be busy denouncing the co-conspirators...not be on a silly reality game show.
 
^Are you serious? I'm glad she doesn't to be honest. She's more useful entertaining us on Celebrity Apprentice.

I thought that show was filmed months ago. She can get back to the detective work now if the LAPD needs her.

Yea she is serious... I'm sure she can do more than one thing at a time. Also the show was filled months ago. It's weird how some only come in here to provide negative comments.
 
Isn't it interesting that no one said that Hope could have volunteered herself as a model? People have been on LaToya to use her initiative, yet Hope isn't ever expected to. Other people have volunteered to do things on other tasks. It looks like the women actually wanted to lose just so they could get rid of LaToya. They also seemed a bit lazy on this task, surprised that they would actually have to do some work.

Hope did volunteer to model, but Latoya wanted her to focus on accounting. I think that Latoya made a huge mistake there, both in using her team's "talents" and in forging some goodwill with Hope.

However, I believe that Hope chose her own clothes on the day of the presentation. She could have decided to wear a bikini, but she didn't. I also think that Hope could have respectually explained to Latoya that she would focus on accounting on the first day, and model on the second day. Again, she didn't. She saw a great opportunity to help Latoya fail, so should took it.

I think Latoya was ultimately to blame for this mistake, but Hope wasn't being a very good teammate.

LaToya was on Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday. Here is the interview:

http://www.accesshollywood.com/meow...ts-says-jackson-kids-doing-well_article_46484

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

La Toya Jackson weathered quite a few cat fights with her fellow “Celebrity Apprentice” candidates, especially with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” NeNe Leakes – but has the duo made amends?

“NeNe is NeNe, that’s her character and what she does,” La Toya told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Tuesday’s Access Hollywood Live, when asked about her boardroom brawls on the hit NBC series.

“I kind of overlook it. I try to the best I can, sometimes she kind of gets to you. Because if you don’t defend yourself, she will come after you even harder, thinking that she can really take over and take advantage of you,” she explained. “We’re doing this for charity, but I think everybody forgets about that!”

Competing to be Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” felt more like being behind bars to La Toya.

“It’s like being in prison actually, when we were doing this show. I love Donald, I think he’s fabulous, I love everything he’s been doing, but I had to get on the show with these girls, such strong personalities, who do anything to get ahead! And I believe in playing fair,” she continued.

Despite their on-screen antics, La Toya said she and NeNe have come to an understanding.

“Oh NeNe and I [have made up], yes, absolutely. I have definitely forgiven her,” she told Billy and Kit. “Actually, she apologized while we were doing the show. When [the cameras] were not rolling.”

La Toya also gave Billy and Kit an update on her late brother, Michael’s, children, Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 13, and nine-year-old Blanket.

“They’re doing very well, children are so resilient, I’m so proud of them, I’m just very happy… they help me a great deal with my brother. I couldn’t listen to the music, I couldn’t listen to the songs, if they can get over it then I have to too,” she said.

Billy asked if the King of Pop’s children were able to now lead more conventional lives.

“Oh yeah, absolutely. And they go shopping, they do things of that nature, but they’re with security of course. And they enjoy themselves, they have fun,” La Toya said, explaining that her mother Katherine put a stop to the kids wearing masks in public.

Adding, “For the first time they have gone to school and they really like it, so I’m very happy for them. It’s taught something totally different about people and life. They’re just enjoying themselves.”

La Toya is also prepping for the release of her new book, “Starting Over,” which will contain stories about her famous brother.

“Michael is such a lovely person, you will see a lot of wonderful moments [about him],” she said.
 
Why does it feel like the media want to portray Michael as weird and having his kids wear masks 24/7? They didn't and he wasn't weird. They did lots of things without the masks and no one knew who they were. They had security with them when they were with Michael and they have security now too. Being in an actual school does give them a different outlook but the other things I don't agree with. I just hate that they make it seem like their life is so much better now than when they were with Michael. He was their father and he loved them so much. He did an amazing job with them and hopefully someone maybe his own kids will put the media in their place someday. Sorry for the rant.
 
So true.. ): This isn't even infuriating, it's downright hurtful. The children would go shopping with Michael and go out and to the movies even before he died, and they'd have a blast. This repetitious approach the media are taking remains engraved in the minds of the less initiated, and unfortunately, many of the Jackson members (bar Michael's children) are falling into this snare and it all comes out as really unflattering. That's not just sensitivity being involved, it's evident what's happening: that they're portrayed as now living the 'normal lives they couldn't live when their father was alive. In other words, 'yeah, he was their father, but now they're finally normal'. .. Apologies for this off-topic rant, but it's very hurtful ..

Agree with you ladies.......and that is why you can't rely on some of the Jacksons to speak about anything as it relates to Michael cause they usually just end up giving the media what they want.

Why is it that every damn interview/article wants to paint this image that these kids where locked away in a dungeon somewhere, never seeing the light of day? and then you have family members essentially agreeing with them.

Paris at that memorial service said it all and thats all that anyone needs to know!

Yes, it is hurtful. MJJ kids are going to read everything what has been said about their father, was it media or the Jacksons. I am sure it is going to be hurtful for them, too. At least with MJJ, they had care free life, trips around the world. With the Jacksons, they are learning too soon, and too fast about family dramas, lawsuits, shady business people around. Of course, no one is talking about that.
Paris speech is testimony how normal they are, and that was not Katherine's work, it was Michael's. It was Michael's parenthood that shaped the kids who they are today. Because with all the problems the kids faced, moving with grandma, interviews, Alejandra eviction, they still seem very grounded, and understanding, and that is because Michael taught them well. I wish they drop silly talk about masks. Paris & Prince explained very well reason behind it. Having stalker and porn producer into their proximity is more alarming. But, of course, no one is talking about that.
It is off topic, but I feel your pain.

Anyone has the videos? It's true that, since Michael's passing, collecting videos of his family members become popular!

What the media is doing is disgusting. Another report (a rehash of this interview) openly states that the kids are completely 'over michael's death' and their lives are 'absolutyely better'. Michael Jackson's children already 'over' his death | Metro.co.uk But we will jusrt have to take it for now. The kids will grow up and set it straight to the media.
 
*sigh*...He was never treated as a human in life by the media and general public, and it seems all the more safe and imperious to do it now.

....
 
I felt so furious this morning reading the metro story "Jackson's children over his death". How can anyone be so cruel? The way the article came off is as if the kids don't care about their dad being dead, and the whole thing is from Latoya. I try soo hard to give her the benefit of the doubt, but time and time again, she says something so awful. She was quoted as saying they are much better off now than when Michael was raising them. That is disgusting. What would Prince and Paris say if they saw what she said.

Sure, maybe they do have a more "normal life" than when Michael was alive, but they've lost more than gaining a "Normal life". They've lost the only parent they knew, who loved them and cared about them more than anyone in that family seems to. Michael wouldn't have exploited them, sold stories about them, etc etc. How can any sister say these things?

I'm really not surprised that Michael stayed away from his siblings sometimes.

Latoya's words were taken out of context.
 
^ Hmm...well if thats the case, I apologise for thinking bad of Latoya, but I'm still furious with the metro!

Speaking of Nene Leakes, I watched the episode and I was happy that LaToya got to be Project Manager for the week, but what sickens me is that her team is trying to put her down trying to intimidate her. But what disgusts me the most is Nene's attitude towards her at the end, she feuded with her and I was like "SHUT THE HELL UP NENE!" I liked Nene at the beginning, but now with her attitude like that, I hated her now. I told her "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE JACKSONS! NEVER!" I kept ranting at her for it.
 
It's sad these types of articles. The kids have to learn to live on without their father but the way it's reported like they are better off without him hurts to see that. I hate the media.
 
Poor Toya and Gary... They are really trying to get them out. It must be alot they not show behind the scenes because they make Toya seem like she is just unbearable.... N Hope can't call any a weak player because she doesn't even do anything. I think she is PM next week.
