Jesse James to play for LBUSD on Celebrity Apprentice
The television personality and local motorcycle maker will be working to raise money for the Long Beach Unified School District as a contestant on the NBC show.
Television personality and local motorcycle maker Jesse James will be working to raise money for the Long Beach Unified School District as a contestant on the NBC reality show "Celebrity Apprentice."
James, owner of West Coast Choppers, is among 16 celebrities who will be vying to win the approval of real estate mogul Donald Trump on the show, which raises money for charity.
James, who grew up in Long Beach, has selected the Long Beach Education Foundation -- the fundraising arm of the LBUSD -- as his charity on the show, which premieres March 1.
James intends for the charitable funds to assist the district's industrial design classes, such as auto shop, said Judy Seal, executive director of the Long Beach Education Foundation.
"The school district is really excited to have him and his experience, his resources and his dedication to the school district," Seal said.
"Celebrity Apprentice" has celebrities matching wits while completing business tasks in New York City.
At the conclusion of each week's episode, celebrities will gather in the Trump "boardroom," where their performance will be evaluated, and Trump will kick one celebrity off the show by saying, "You're fired."
In 2008, the first season of "Celebrity Apprentice" raised over $1 million for charity.

RECESSION HITS 'APPRENTICE'
ROCKY ECONOMY IS STAR OF LATEST CELEB BIZ SERIES
DONALD Trump's famed series "The Apprentice" can't escape bad times any better than the rest of us.
The new season of "Celebrity Apprentice," which begins in March, is full of problems and challenges that reflect an economy that is heading down, Trump says.
It was difficult for the celebrities in this year's cast to raise money as quickly and easily as in the past, he says.
And the celebs even started sqaubbling over who was to blame.
"The horrible state of the economy is talked about constantly," Trump told The Post.
"We are in a depression - not a recession - and people don't like to think of 'The Apprentice' as a business show, but it is," he says.
"You can't do a show that relates so strongly to business without mentioning the state of the economy, which is terrible," says Trump.
The new season - which includes Andrew Dice Clay, Tom Green, skater Scott Hamilton, Joan and Melissa Rivers and Herschel Walker in the cast - was taped last October, the relatively early days of the financial meltdown.
The show's producers admit they were caught off-guard by the effect the troubled economy had on contestants trying to get their small businesses off the ground.
"The belt-tightening that we're seeing today was just beginning," says executive producer Eden Gaha. "I daresay that it would be even tougher now than it was in October, when we shot it.
"But, certainly, we were feeling the effects."
Gaha says that the game's outcome relied less on a big check from a rich donor and more on the celebs' ability to collect a lot of small checks.
"They had to work twice as hard," he says.
Trump revealed that the show includes one especially explosive boardroom exchange between Joan Rivers, Dennis Rodman and another contestant he declined to name.
"I said, 'Come on folks, we're in a depression, we have to pull together," Trump says.
Players consistently found themselves in the awkward position of calling in favors from rich friends during fundraising challenges, Gaha says.
"Many of the contestants came with a game plan and a Rolodex full of people they could call for help raising money," he says. "But what you'll see is that, in some of these cases, people wouldn't or couldn't come through for them."
Raising money posed such a difficult chal lenge that the rules were eventually changed mid way through production to allow players more time to hit up their friends for charity.
"We would get them started immediately after we filmed the boardroom," Gaha says. "Where last year, they'd have a day to get rolling, we'd give them an extra 12 or 14 hours."
A major part of the players' strategies was devoted to deciding when to call in favors.
"A lot of it came down to, 'When do I pull out my big guns?' " he says.
"They had to be clever about it because they couldn't keep going back to the same well and they were painfully aware that, in many cases, the favor would have to reciprocated sometime down the track."

This statement is driving me nuts
Wow, Donald I think anyone who lived / survived during the depression would be offended by that statement based on what they went through we currently are not in a depression.
I do not agree!!
