Patricia Velasquez Fired on NBC's CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

On last night's episode of NBC's THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE, the celebrities' hosting skills were put to the test when Mr. Trump tasked the teams with putting on a party to promote Crystal Light. One team created the ultimate beach experience, complete with beach balls and bikini babes, while the other team created an exotic Garden of Eden.

The executives had a difficult decision on their hands, but the men's team emerged victorious and Donald Trump fired celebrity Patricia Velasquez. Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. served as Boardroom advisors for the episode which included a special guest appearance by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb of NBC's Today Show.

Velasquez's career includes modeling and films. Born in Venezuela, she climbed to the top of the fashion world becoming the first Latina supermodel, working on the runway for Chanel, Gucci, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Carolina Herrera to name a few. Velasquez's exotic features have graced the covers of countless magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar and Marie Claire, and she has starred in several commercial campaigns including Allure, Pantene and New York & Co.

As an actor, Velasquez has worked in countless films and TV shows, including "Le Jaguar," "Zapata," "Mindhunters," "Fidel," "Committed," "CSI: Miami," "Arrested Development," "Rescue Me," "Ed," and "American Family," but she is most recognized for her role as Ank Su Namun in the films "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns." Velasquez recently executive produced and starred in "Cenizas Eternas." Her stage debut in "School of the Americas," produced by Philip Seymour Hoffman and written by Jose Rivera for The Public Theater in New York City, was critically acclaimed.
