Omarosa...oooh that name used to send shivers down our spines way back in 2004. The first-season Apprentice cast member was so crazy-mad-evil. Remember how she botched Kwame's chance to win? She was one of the most evilest reality TV characters we'd ever seen.

But while love for the Apprentice waned (after the second season, we were like, "Done!") so did the public's love/hate for Omarosa, despite her well-publicized breast augmentation.

Still she's working away at increasing her Q score, especially now that she's been invited back by Donald Trump to appear on Celebrity Apprentice, a show most people are tuning in to because nothing else is on, thanks to the Writer's Strike.

Thus Omarosa appeared in this week's issue of InTouch (um, our dog bought it for us) in the layout titled "Celebrity Apprentice Stars at Home."

Normally, we could give a crap about how Omarosa keeps her home but what surprised us was that she keeps an apartment/penthouse suite at the Hotel Mela in Midtown Manhattan. And she's still totally bitchy!

Room service, fresh flowers and lots of special amenities keep Omarosa's famous claws in check.

"They've never gotten anything wrong and believe me, they don't want to," laugh Omarosa...."

Omie also dishes on the suite's "earth-tone colors, the windows and the amazing view." And the hotel's must be pet friendly because in the photo spread there were two crazy cats posing on the bed with their claws out. Oh wait, just one cat next to Omarosa.

Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien Still Has the Beef But Now With Newer Tables

A few years back, the big NYC hotel secret was the Burger Place in the Le Parker Meridien Hotel in Midtown. Back then, we gave you a little map to help you navigate your way to this little hamburger heaven.

Well, folks it's 2007 and the place still seems to be hitting the spot. The Social Diva blog says this place is no longer a well-kept secret (apparently, autographed posters line the wall), but the $6 "char-bequed" burgers will satisfy your midnight meat-eater cravings. So hotels should really stop charging $18 for a cheeseburger. We also like the dig that Social Diva takes at Gramercy Park.

I noticed that the normally grafitti-ed tables were spanking new, a little bit of an improvement one would think, but in my book, it takes away from the charm, like the new bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Perhaps Ian Schrager should ditch his ambitious celeb chef restaurant and open up a greasy spoon?
