Press Release-A-Palooza

Cheesy casting week continues... not up for trying out for "The Swan?" Here's another open casting call: Be Elvis! Of course, CBS doesn't specify whether they're looking for young, "Jailhouse Rock"-era Elvis or later, bloated, losing-postage-stamp Elvis. Just in case, just eat half a fried-peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich for research.

Also in this edition of the Press Release-A-Palooza: Fired from "The Apprentice"? We've got a job for you! At... um, an online betting house. Next.

TRUMP'S EX-APPRENTICES OFFERED POSITIONS WITH CASINO FORTUNE

Success of Hiring Stacie J. Inspires Casino Fortune to Offer All Ex-Apprentices Contracts to Provide Trump Data, Market Casino Fortune

NEW YORK; October 18, 2004 - Citing the success of working with Stacie J. - Donald Trump's early cast-off from The Apprentice - Casino Fortune today announced their intention to hire each ex-Apprentice as an advisor to the world's oldest online casino.

Earlier this month, Casino Fortune signed one of Trump's first cast-off, Stacie J., as a marketing advisor and spokesmodel. Impressive results from the Stacie J. deal drove executives to consider expanding on The ex-Apprentice operation. Casino Fortune will now offer similar contracts and arrangements to each ex-Apprentice.

"Our work with Stacie J. has increased our client base and expanded our mindshare among North American players," said Dennis Rose, senior vice president of Casino Fortune. "This gravy train is rolling strong and we see no reason to cut off its fuel supply."

Ex-Apprentices can contact Rose's office directly at dennis@casinofortune.com. Each ex-Apprentice will be promptly interviewed, contracted and assigned a marketing project for North America.

Rose added, "We welcome each and every ex-Apprentice to advise us and leverage their star power. Our lawyers are standing by with a contract in-hand."
