Former NBA star Dennis Rodman was eliminated Sunday night from "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice" after failing to spell Melania Trump's name correctly in a presentation for her skin care line, Melania Caviar Complexe C6. Clearly not happy about this misspelling, judge and executive producer Donald Trump fired the former Chicago Bull. Rodman has been in the headlines recently for his visit to North Korea last month and just this weekend he was on "Saturday Night Live" where he said the introduction to the show incorrectly.

The April 7 episode of "All-Star Celebrity" apprentice asked the teams to create a two-page advertorial and product display for Caviar, Melania Trump's Skincare live. Rodman was the team leader for "Power" while Penn Jillette headed "Plan B."

Dennis actually requested to be allowed into Melania's bathroom in order to see the beauty products that the model actually uses. This was not seen as a proper request. Also, Gary Busey, excited to meet Melania, said, "Have you ever had your genitalia so excited that it spins like a ferris wheel in a carnival ride? That's how beautiful she is."  Clearly an awkward compliment.

So Dennis and "Power" chose the slogan "Simply Melania, Simply Luxury," which would have been fine, but they spelled her name "Milania." This spelling error on the massive display immediately disappointed Melanie. Gillette said, "They should fire all four of them" after seeing the incredible blunder.

Donald Trump commended both teams but ultimately had to choose "Plan B" over "Power" because of "the ultimate error." Either Rodman or teammate Trace Adkins, who was responsible for the display, would have been eliminated. Since Dennis was the team leader, he was fired. Trump did however say that Rodman was the "comeback player of the year."

Rodman joins fellow sacked contestants Omarosa Manigault, Claudia Jordan, Dee Snider, Bret Michaels and LaToya Jackson.
