Omarosa's "Passions" Play

She may been fired by Donald Trump, but that hasn't stopped Omarosa from fielding other offers.

The undisputed villainess of NBC's The Apprentice has just landed her first acting gig, a guest spot on the Peacock's daytime drama Passions.

The single-monikered Apprentice saboteur (whose full name is Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth) won't be stretching too much for the appearance--she'll show up in the fictional town of Harmony to be interviewed for, yes, a job.

NBC confirmed to E! that Omarosa filmed her role on Tuesday. The episode will air May 27.

"I'm so excited because this will be my first time doing any sort of acting," Omarosa told Extra, which claims responsibility for the guest spot. The TV newsmagazine says it hooked up the business-minded diva with Passions producers.

Despite her current reign as reality TV's most reviled character, Omarosa is blowing up. Aside from her Passions play, she has served as a correspondent for Star magazine at a recent charity function and claims to have more offers on the table.

"I'm in negotiations for a featured role on a new TV sitcom," she told Star, adding that a book deal and signature fashion line are also in the pipeline.

Of course, Omarosa, 30, has a flair for bending the truth, so the extent of her burgeoning multimedia career might be a figment of her overactive imagination.

For instance, Clairol, which tapped her for an Herbal Essences shampoo commercial, is seemingly distancing itself from Omarosa. According to reports, news of Omarosa's hiring drew angry emails and phone calls from customers.

Even Omarosa's Apprentice nemesis, Ereka Vetrini, told the New York Post that she would stop using Clairol products. (Omarosa infamously accused Ereka of using the N-word, something Vetrini hotly denied and producers could find no evidence of; Vetrini suggested Omarosa seek "professional help.")

And in a statement Wednesday, Clairol released a statement saying, "[Omarosa] is not a spokesperson for the brand nor have any decisions been made on whether or not we will use any of her filmed segments."

According to Us Weekly, Omarosa committed the unpardonable sin of ticking off the Donald by pestering him for a job judging his Miss USA pageant.

Still, while her 15 minutes may be ticking away quickly, Omarosa is reveling in her infamy, telling Star, "I've been cast as a villain--and that characterization hasn't disappointed."
