You’re hired? Please explain.

Pauline Hanson is rumoured to be on the list for Nine's Celebrity Apprentice Australia.

Pauline Hanson on Nine’s Celebrity Apprentice Australia?

It’s a done deal according to a media report today.

The former independent politician, who was a surprising success on the inaugural season of Dancing with the Stars in 2004, is tipped to be joined by an AFL football star, a celebrity chef, a competitor from The Block and a celebrity glamour girl according to the Daily Telegraph.

According to a Nine News report yesterday, Hanson indicated she would be making (yet another) pitch at a role in Federal Parliament.

Also on the rumour list are pop star Peter Andre and former medico Geoffrey Edelsten (Brynne Edelsten is said to have declined, dammit).

Meanwhile Kerri-Anne Kennerley recently told TV Tonight she didn’t expect to have enough time to commit to the show with her schedule, if she was asked. Dammit, again.

There are even whispers that there could also be a face with ties to the underworld.

FremantleMedia Australia is producing the series with finance guru Mark Bouris returning to the chair as the boss. There are hopes to lure Donald Trump into a guest appearance during his Aussie visit next month.

Will 2009 Apprentice champ Morello also make an appearance, please?

  1. What about some Hey Dad actors? See if they rip each others thoats out? We haven’t seen Sarah Monahan since last year, might be fun to see if she spills more dish on the show!

  2. Ugh, D-list. They’re celebrities in the same manner that the people on Dancing With the Stars are stars. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “celebrity glamour girl” is Kim Duthie.

  3. Mark Latham was on Paul Murray Live on Monday night and said he had been approached too. He declined (unfortunately). Hanson v Latham would have been interesting viewing.

  4. It’s a shame Brynne said no, she is great, some great names for this type of show when I heard this show was being made I didn’t think Australia had enough crazy celebs to fill the palette but they seem to be finding them, Peter Andre isn’t someone I would have thought of but is a good idea.

  5. @James, no, I would like to though but I was referring to my celebrity suggestions when this news first broke also on this blog. I also did suggest Brynne and KAK!

  6. I was wondering how the idea of this show could get worse. Are people really that interested in seeing more of Hanson (or some those other fourth rate ‘celebrities’)? Shudder.
