No “OFFICIAL” Announcement from Clay or Donald, but this is close!!
What are your thoughts?
I am very excited that Clay is doing this and we will get to see him every week! He is very creative, a hard worker and an excellent in charge person. It is wonderful that he will have the opportunity to raise money for the National Inclusion Project also. I am so happy with this news!!
I just read this over at the OFC. I'm so excited.
I hope this will be a great success for Clay.
Wow, that's pathetic. I expected a lot more from Clay, he's way better than appearing on a D list reality show. 🙁
Rachel….I am so proud of Clay because he is trying to raise money for his charity. Yes, some of the contestants are odd, but there are many outstanding contestants too.
Congrats to Clay. I look forward to seeing him on TV each week!!
This is a show that will benefit NIP. It isn't going to put money in his pocket. I think Clay would go to the ends of the earth to help children…and I guess in some instances he has…for UNICEF. I think that he also loves a challenge which he will get here.
I respect Clay for doing whatever he can to bring attention to his foundation. I think he will be great on this show and I think he will be great for the show. Looking forward to seeing him on my tv for several weeks when it airs.
I'm sure he will be raising money for the National Inclusion Project so I'm wishing Clay the best. Also explains the timing of the single. Good strategy! 🙂
I agree with you !!!
What exhilerating news! I can't wait to see him on CApp. He'll be stupendous!
OH!!!!! Clay will be in my hometown!! I will have to keep an eye open for him!!
The things I do for Clay…..now I have to endure Donald Trump each week.
Thanks for posting the news!!
I think Clay will be a fantastic addition to CApp. He's quick witted and intelligent and extremely passionate about NIP, so I'm sure he'll do an amazing job for his charity. Can't wait to see the interaction between Clay and the other cast members!
I'm excited. Clay is smart, witty and he'll win people over. I expect him to go far in the competition and gain new fans.
Bring it!!!
D-list ?? Well, tell that to Piers Morgan, Clint Black, Sharon Osbourne, Bret Michaels and Marlee Matlin.
I am proud that Clay wants to raise money for his charity!!
This is fantastic news!!! Clay on tv every week in January. His single released in January…. Clay trying to win money for his foundation the National Inclusion Project…and at least bring awareness of the foundation to people that have no idea about it… This is a Win Win situation. Clay gets exposure, and so does his foundation. PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clay will do well…I remember him being on So You Think You Are Smarter than a 5th Grader. Clay won $300,000. for NIP…GO CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE ALL BEHIND YOU!!!!!
Great news!
Great! Can’t wait to watch! Will it be Jan. or March? I’ve heard both from different “news” media. I hope he will be on for awhile and not get fired for being too nice.
What wonderful news. When I first read about Clay joining the Celebrity Apprentice show for sure, I felt all tingling with excitement and happiness for him. Such a tremendous opportunity in so many ways. Public relations for his singing career and the NIP, some renewed awareness from the general public, and possible prospects and offers for other TV appearances and shows. Good job in landing this one Clay, and good luck to you in hopefully winning it all. I definitely will be tuned in.
