Related: About this forumTakei, Aiken adding gay fabulosity to new ‘Celebrity Apprentice’
http://www.dallasvoice.com/takei-aiken-adding-gay-fabulosity-celebrity-apprentice-1098065.htmlI have sincerely admired George Takei ever since 2005 when he publicly came out as a gay man. And I have been a real fan for the last several months, ever since I liked his Facebook page and got the chance to see and appreciate his unique sense of humor.
But I am not a big enough fan to watch George in his new gig, because his new gig is being a cast member of the new season of Donald Trumps Celebrity Apprentice. And I hate Donald Trump and I hate Celebrity Apprentice way to much to ever watch the show, even for George T. I made myself a promise after listening to Trumps presidential campaign tripe that I would never watch this show, because I never want to do anything that might even remotely put money in his bigoted pockets.
So, love ya George, but I just cant watch that show.
There will be at least one other gay in the cast to keep George company: Clay Aiken of American Idol and Spamalot fame. And other gay interest cast members are 80s pop star Debbie Gibson and equal-opportunity-insult comedian Lisa Lampanelli.

But no way can I stomach Trump's show just to watch Takei.

I enjoy the show most years, but this year for some reason I'm not overly excited about, though I also love George Takei. I'll probably watch.
