The controversial exit of Melissa Rivers from 'The Celebrity Apprentice' has led to an invitation to explain their side of story on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
- May 1, 2009
AceShowbiz - Two celebrities that have created quite a stir in "The Apprentice" this season, Melissa Rivers and her mother Joan Rivers, have come to pay a visit on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". Both Rivers came to take a stance of what they have done, and most importantly have said on the national television about their rivals.
The mother-daughter appeared for a little talk with Ellen DeGeneres addressing their use of harsh language against Brande Roderick and Annie Duke. Melissa who was fired on the April 26 episode, called Annie "pit vipers" while Joan who was actually on another team, called Annie a "nazi" and Brande a "stupid blonde".
They were welcomed to the show with Lady GaGa's song "Poker Face" which may as well be a reference to Annie who is a poker player. Ellen said she would like to hear Melissa's side of story. So Melissa explained, "I'm a competitor. I've done other shows, I'm a competitive person and nobody likes to lose. I really didn't like high school the first time and I felt like I was back in it again. I think I got the chance to stand up and say what we all wanted on top of our lungs in lunch room."
The rest of the interview are in the video below. Also appearing on the April 30 episode of the talk show were "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" star Ryan Reynolds and 7-year-old piano prodigy Emily Bear.
