It's a good thing Tiger Woods' alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel landed a spot on VH1's Celeb Rehab.
Donald Trump says she wouldn't have been a good fit for his NBC reality show Celebrity Apprentice.
"She called; she wanted to be on the show ... but we just don't see her as a celebrity in any sense," he told UsMagazine.com Saturday at the 12th Annual HollyRod Foundation Design Care event in Beverly Hills. "What she did in life is not the greatest, right? What she did is not exactly the kind of thing that makes for Celebrity Apprentice."

He told Us he doesn't think Celebrity Rehab will improve her public image much, either. (A source tells Us she is going on the show because she's addicted to love.)

"I have seen people who are on that show, and I just don’t think that she is particularly good for them," he told Us. "Maybe it will work out well for her. I hope it does work out well for her, actually. She very much wanted to be on [Celebrity Apprentice]; it just couldn’t work out if she was going to do the other show."

Uchitel isn't the only celeb he's had to say "no" to.
"We have nine or 10 people for every slot," Trump told Us, "so we have a lot of people that, unfortunately, we have to turn down."
Tell Us What You Think
15Here we go . . . just another fame-seeking hoe -- hasn't she done enough damage? Addicted to love -- crap -- give me a break, you sleezy loser! Why would any network or TV show want to give her the time of day? S.L.U.T.
agree with Trump-sad that to make it in this industry you have to be a hoe or sleep with another woman's husband!
kind of funny he seems to judge her on that when he took his mistress Marla Maples on a family ski trip with them just before dumping his wife.
She should be ashamed using her immoral behavior, in order to be rewarded...for what? U could tellin' on loser cheating husbands. Both terrible.
What a hypocrite. He's right about one thing, though. She's no celebrity.
Says the guy who's had extramarital affairs...
Love the Trumpster!
Why are we trying to make a celebrity out of someone who thrives on relationships with married men?? Let the wives of these men chose a Reality situation for Ms. Uchitel.
This guy is such a contradiction. You told TMZ you called her yourself and told her she'd be awesome. Now you backtrack? Who takes this moron seriously?
suddenly Trump is back pedalling? why? b/c know he realizes she is not a celebrity and a tramp?
So now she can talk about her relationship with Tiger right...!! Dr. Drew.. why not send Okasana there too.. so more Mel in the works.. and why she finds the need to release all the tapes..!!One would of been enough... SO GO AHEAD NOW WE HAVE TO HEAR ALL THE GORY DETAILS OF TIGERS...AFFAIR.. WHAT DID GLORIA NEGOTIATE FOR HER A MILLION DOLLAR DEAL FOR THE SHOW..
This makes me like trump a little...
EXCELLENT CHOICE!!! That TRAMP SHOULD NOT BE ON ANY REALITY SHOW NOR SHOULD SHE BEEN IN THESE MAGS!!! SHE IS A AND DISGUSTING PERSON!
I totally agree with Donald Trump, and it happens when you have to turn people down!
Good thinking!
