COLOURFUL ex-criminal Chopper Read looks destined for a seat at the boardroom table on the second series of 'Celebrity Apprentice' - provided Channel 9 can find him a few dollars.
The criminal-turned-author-turned-artist-turned-actor has confirmed he has been approached by Nine to appear on the reality program, which was a ratings winner in its debut season.
At publication time yesterday, Chopper Read said he was still tossing up the approach after absorbing the news there was no prizemoney to be won in the new series of Celebrity Apprentice.
"They can go jam it up their (expletive) boardroom (expletive) (expletive)," he said, upon reflection.
MasterChef winner Julie Goodwin and one-time golden girl Nikki Webster are also in Nine's firing line for the next series.
Reinvented mum Goodwin is thought to have caught the eye of producers after impressing scouts during a guest appearance on Ten talkshow Can of Worms earlier this year.
The show would be a major coup for Webster, who first sprang to fame as a teenager, flying through the air and singing at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
The recently engaged pop singer says she has been working on a new album and is a director of a talent agency.
Former footballer Jason Akermanis and Baywatch icon David Hasselhoff are also among those rumoured to be lining up for the new series.
A Nine spokeswoman said the network would not be confirming names for the series until 2012 and managers did not return calls yesterday.
