Donald Trump Fires Terrell Owens: 'Celebrity Apprentice' Star Losing His Touch?

One thing is for sure, Donald Trump knows how to spot a dollar from a long way off. This season, his hit spin-off show Celebrity Apprentice features some interesting characters. Unfortunately for sports fans, though, the show no longer features NFL superstar Terrell Owens. His departure from the show was surprisingly gentle, and Trump was almost friendly in his "firing." It seems that Donald might be loosing his touch, after saying how "nasty" this season was going to be earlier in the year.

Trump has always been involved in many different business ventures. His current ongoing project, Celebrity Apprentice, is easily one of his most popular. The show is known for Trump's tag line, "you're fired."

Now, unfortunately, fan favorite Terrell Owens just got the boot. His leaving is actually a big hit to the show, because as sports fans know, Owens is a great source of drama.

The most interesting part of Owens being fired is how calm everyone involved was. According to TMZ Sports, Trump was acting out of character:

"Terrell Owens got the boot from "Celebrity Apprentice" last night...but he didn't get the wrath of The Donald -- he got one of the nicest sackings in the history of the show. T.O. -- along with Johnny Damon and Ian Ziering -- were called into the boardroom after losing a fundraiser in which the gang had to sell wedding dresses...T.O. owned up to the failure and essentially called on Trump to give him the axe...Trump obliged."

This side of Trump might not be that big of a deal to some, but given Donald's history, it is quite alarming. Donald is known for being rough and tough on the competitors.

It's part of the mystique of the show. That's why many fans were left wondering what got into the mogul that he would risk giving up one of the show's backbone features.

Also, according to Reality TV Magazine, one of Trump's earlier implied this would be one of the nastiest seasons, not one of the nicest:

"There is no such thing as a friendly Celebrity Apprentice cast, but some groups of celebs are definitely nicer than others. According to Donald Trump, the show's dedicated...fans should not expect to see hugs and handshakes in the near future, as the upcoming season features an incredibly nasty group of individuals. According to Donald Trump, this is the nastiest cast Celebrity Apprentice has seen thus far - and that's saying something, given the show's history!"
