Ready-to-Wear Omarosa?
Um, so, maybe Omarosa means Calvin Klein in French? Or, perhaps, it means something cute and cuddly like Garanimals?
The mind boggles with word that a French citizen has requested a U.S. trademark on a line of clothing to be dubbed Omarosa. As in Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, or the Wicked Witch of The Apprentice for short.
The always thorough Smoking Gun posted the trademark application on Friday.
Per the paperwork, Stephanie E. Harari submitted the application and paid the required $335 on Apr. 21, six days after TV Omarosa's final betrayal on The Apprentice.
Harari, who listed a Miami Beach residence, did not return an email request seeking comment Friday.
A phone message left with Omarosa's publicist--she and a few of her Apprentice brethren employ such help these days--also was not returned.
Minus their input, a few things are unclear: Does Harari know TV Omarosa? Is the Omarosa clothing line named in honor of TV Omarosa? If so, does Harari really think the American consumer wants to wear, say, an Omarosa T-shirt--unless it comes pre-punctured with back-stabbing knife marks?
Certainly, marrying a line of clothing with a celebrity name is as old as Jaclyn Smith, in a figurative sense. Smith, Cheryl Tiegs and Kathie Lee Gifford are but three whose famous faces have peered out from tags on sales racks.
If Harari's plans are inspired by TV Omarosa, Manigault-Stallworth would be the first TV celebrity/villain to be used, even indirectly, to peddle pedal pushers--unless you count Donald Trump, who has applied for his own clothing trademark on "You're fired," or the Hamburglar, whose likeness has adorned McDonald's merchandise for years.
TV Omarosa rose to Hamburglar-esque status on the strength of her ability to antagonize her fellow man and woman during her nine-week reign of terror on NBC's Apprentice.
She rejoined the hit reality game on Apr. 15, just in time to muck up Kwame Jackson's chances to defeat Bill Rancic in the season closer.
In the ensuing weeks, Omarosa has talked much about her diabolical plans for world domination--sorry, her future.
Despite the talk, Omarosa has produced little outside of a guest stint on the NBC soap Passions (to air May 27) and an official Website (Omarosa.com) that promises to update fans on "upcoming projects," but it serves only to hype a 900 phone service. (For $3.95 a minute, you can hear Omarosa "dispel all those nasty rumors." Being one smart cookie, it takes her a lot longer than one minute to do the dispelling.)
Perhaps in a preview of an Omarosa fashion line, the failed Apprentice is pictured on her site in a tank top. The T-shirt's message? "Diva."
