Did you miss last night’s premiere of
Semi-celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump and NBC’s attempt to breathe new life into a moribund reality franchise by asking Gene Simmons, Big Pussy, a professional naked person, and a lesser Baldwin (there are other cast members, probably, but we can’t think of them off the top of our head–oh, Omarosa’s on it too!) to sell hot dogs? We did. But after watching this three-minute recap, we feel like we’re all caught up and ready for next week’s episode. (Spoilers ahead if you click the thumbnail to watch the vdieo.)
Clearly,
changing the title of
Welcome to Valkenvania to
Nothing But Trouble doomed the Chase/Aykroyd/Candy/Moore classic to failure.

wanted to be No. 1 at something, but I didn’t think it would be something like this.”

12:29PM Clem Bastow | Napoleon Perdis, largely through his association with Australia’s Next Top Model, has become one of those “industry” types you either love to hate or hate to love; I find myself in between, except when he is fabulously sparring on the AusNTM final three contestants to slag each other off while in the chair (most memorably clapping his hands and shouting “I LOVE IT!” after getting Alice to lay into Steph in Cycle 3), then I just love to love him.
Anyway, his Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics line has become big news in the States, so it seems he’s taken advantage of his growing overlord celebrity status and whipped up an Apprentice-esque reality/doco show.
After an exhaustive search, Perdis has found a protege to run his business in the US – with every step filmed for a documentary reality series.
Get Your Face On has followed the extravagant and entrepreneurial life of the former Parramatta powder prince.
The series will introduce the Aussie dynamo, who waves his magic brush over 59 stand-alone stores and 800 outlets across the country, to US audiences.
Provided it involves making wannabe models up to look like Amsterdam hookers and then having them pose in the front window of your flagship store, I for one am excited to see what Napoleon and his bronzer brush bring to the world of reality television. More »
