People Magazine and Trump's Apprentice Call On Trace's Celebrity
People magazine hopes to make a few bucks off an upcoming issue by naming Trace one of country music's hottest guys. I would be excited if People acknowledged that Trace is THE hottest guy in country music. Instead the magazine hopes to cash in on Trace's enormous fan base by including him in the lineup. You only have to look at what Trace's appearance on "Celebrity Apprentice" did for its ratings, to understand People's marketing strategy. The magazine hits the stands on May 8th and, of course, I will be a sucker and pick one up.
Speaking of "Celebrity Apprentice", tune in May 10th to see Trace once again putting up with the antics of the Donald and Piers Morgan for the three-hour season finale to the show. From what I read, Donald will ask Trace his opinion on who should win and why? That has to be the most interesting part of the upcoming show. Trace never fails to give an interesting opinion.
We will also hear what Trace and Piers have been up to since last season and get an update on their fundraising efforts for the charities they represented on the show last season. The past year has been full of awards and rewards for Trace, so we look forward to an enumeration of the list as Piers looks on. Has he done anything since Celebrity Apprentice?
Here's what Trace's webiste says about the upcoming show....
American business magnate and television personality, Donald Trump, has invited country music superstar Trace Adkins to make a special guest appearance on the live three-hour season finale of "The Celebrity Apprentice" on Sunday, May 10 at 8ET/7CT on NBC. The stage has been set for what is sure to be a brutal battle between comedian Joan Rivers and poker icon Annie Duke as they enlist former contestants for one last task to determine who will be this year's ultimate Apprentice.
Adkins, who finished second in the 2008 Celebrity Apprentice competition, will join last year's crowned winner, British tabloid editor and "America's Got Talent" Judge Piers Morgan, to talk with Mr. Trump about the memorable conflicts and drama that ensued in last year's series. They will recount their year since appearing on the competition and how much money they've been able to raise for their respective charities. Mr. Trump will also ask Adkins and Morgan who they think should win this year, and why.
While Adkins may have not been declared "The Celebrity Apprentice" of 2008, he still came out a big winner and accomplished exactly what he set out to do - raise money and awareness for his charity, The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). Adkins' 7-year old daughter suffers from severe food allergies and the charitable organization is considered to be one of the largest charities in the U.S. dedicated to helping and advocating Americans who live with a food allergy.
His finale performance of the 2008 hit, "You're Gonna Miss This" was made available for downloading exclusively at iTunes.com for two weeks, with proceeds benefiting his charity. Since his appearance on the show, Adkins has been able to raise almost $400,000 for the cause. The song went on to become his first multi-week number one single and has been nominated for several Grammy, Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association awards.
His latest CD, TRACE ADKINS: "X" (TEN), has already produced two Top 20 hits ("Muddy Water" and "Marry For Money") since its release in November 2008. The album's third single, "All I Ask For Anymore," hits country radio May 18. The following week, on May 24, Adkins will perform on the National Memorial Day Concert, a special tribute concert airing live from the West Lawn of our nation's Capitol on PBS. On June 18, he'll kick-off "America's Toughest Tour" with good friend and fellow country mega-star, Toby Keith.
