- May 5, 2009
AceShowbiz - After having Melissa Rivers and Joan Rivers sitting on her couch, Ellen DeGeneres invited Annie Duke to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to dig out her side of story. The poker player was welcomed on Monday, May 4 with the same song that serenaded the Rivers, Lady GaGa's "Poker Face".
Annie, is part of the controversial exit of "The Apprentice". Melissa was fired but blamed it all on her team mates Annie and Brande Roderick for excluding her in the project. Melissa called Annie "whore pit vipers" while Joan, in defense of her daughter, said that the money they will give to the charity is bloody. Annie told Ellen that she is extracting the 'whore pit vipers' from her vocabulary and defended her status as poker player.
Annie made it to the finals of "The Celebrity Apprentice" and will face off Joan in order to take the title. The finale will air on Sunday, May 10 in a three-hour telecast. Speaking of her strategy to Poker News Daily, Annie said "My main focus will not just be about what I brought to challenges in terms of my ability to execute, win, and fundraise. I'm also going to talk about the fact that Joan quit and spewed epithets that, on previous Apprentice seasons, weren't considered okay."
