For those like myself that have long ago given up on such luxuries as thinking, there is Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”

To say “Celebrity Apprentice” is mindless fun is like saying sleep can be restful. And this season, for golfers that hate the idea of dwelling in thought deeper than a cleat mark, there’s an added bonus - LPGA star Natalie Gulbis is among the contestants.

And Gulbis is joined by a plethora of slightly big names. Dennis Rodman, Joan Rivers, Brande Roderick, Herschel Walker, Jesse James, and Scott Hamilton are just a few of the other celebrities working for charity and Trump’s favor. Basically, “Celebrity Apprentice” is like the “Surreal Life” on several cans of Red Bull.

As for Gulbis, she had an interesting first episode. The challenge entailed the groups - separated by sex - competing to see who could make the best cupcakes and sell them for the most amount of money. For Gulbis, it went down like this:

1. First 1 hour of program - Gulbis is completely ignored.
2. She then destroys a batch of cupcakes. She is sad.
3. The destroyed cupcakes are still better than the men’s cupcakes! Ladies win, Natalie is safe for another week!

In the end, Gulbis’ experience kind of mirrors her own life - sure, sometimes she destroys the cupcakes, but she’s always golden in the end.

So, will “Celebrity Apprentice” catapult Gulbis on to even bigger fame? Of course not, it’s a reality show. But, still, if you’re interested in shutting down your mind and rooting on Gulbis, you can catch “Celebrity Apprentice” on Sundays on NBC.
