Omarosa has no regrets (well, maybe just a few) about her reality-TV life

Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, the outspoken reality star who's so big she goes by just the one name, has appeared in more than 20 reality series, starting with The Apprentice back in 2004. Why has she done so many? It's a no-brainer, she told a session on TV One's upcoming show Life After at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour. "I was working in the White House, $56,000 a year, 18-hour days, and I did not see my family," she said. "I come out to L.A. and do a reality show for $100,000, and we shoot for 12 days. Why shouldn't I do it? My first show with Mark Burnett I signed blindly, but follow-up, The Surreal Life, was $75,000 for eight or nine days of shooting. Really, I love the government, but seriously, reality TV is so much more economically satisfying." Still, the "Reality Queen of Mean" had a few people she wanted to make amends to. "I would like to apologize for Janice Dickinson for calling her a crackhead and saying that she was cuckoo," she said. "And saying she was the oldest supermodel and talking about her jowls and her bad plastic surgery. I might want to also apologize to Piers Morgan for saying he was a British idiot. And maybe to Wendy Williams for calling her a man. I just felt like having a holistic moment." Too bad Omarosa chose not to address the TV audience that suffers through her obnoxious antics. We're the ones she should really be apologizing to. When will her 15 minutes finally end?
