Even with a network of psychic friends, Dionne Warwick didn't see this one coming.

The That's What Friends Are For singer boldly challenged Donald Trump to fire her on Sunday's edition of Celebrity Apprentice, and The Donald reciprocated by giving her the boot.

The premise of Sunday’s show was that the men's and women's teams, led by Lil' Jon and NeNe Leakes respectively, each had to produce an emotional, people-oriented 30-second commercial for ACN, a global communications company.

The men's team won with a spot that cast team member Gary Busey as a grandfather talking to his grandson, who turned out to be in a same-sex relationship with former Oakland A's star Jose Canseco, unbeknownst to Busey’s character.

The women's did an emotional spot in which a dad was talking to his daughter in Paris, highlighting team member (and Oscar-winner) Marlee Matlin's acting skills. The finished product was solid, in was in spite of plenty of infighting on the women's team between manager Leakes and team members Warwick and LaToya Jackson.

"LaToya doesn't really know anything -- yes, she's sweet, but she can't tell you one plus one," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star said of her teammate.
In the end, the men's commercial was chosen as the better one for its' viral possibilities.

Warwick was called out for leaving early during the production of the commercial by Leakes, who also bickered with Jackson in the boardroom. Angered by the turn of events, Warwick -- acting like a petulant child -- dared The Donald to fire her, and viewers got to witness an annoyed Trump go in for the kill.
“You did the wrong thing ... Dionne, you’re fired,” Trump told Warwick.
Upon her exit, Warwick hugged Leakes, then told her in passing, "You're a coward, baby," igniting another war of words as the show wound down.
Celebrity Apprentice airs Sundays at 9/8c on NBC.

This woman is conniving, mean, deceitful and feels like the world should bow down and kiss her butt. Very disappointed to see her true colors. I never would have guessed she was this miserable of a person.

She sure was rude to a lot of people. It is too bad that she did not fight harder for her charity.

At the end of the day, Miss Dionne is just a MEAN OLD BROAD. Period. She is a dead-ringer for my mother, ANOTHER MEAN OLD BROAD.

Agree. And anybody who'd support O.J. Simpson is a loon.

So far, the only thing Dionne contributed this season was a bunch of old lady attitude. She never commanded respected but rather demanded it. She thought she would have the last word by saying that to Nene, but not so!! BA BYE Dionne!!!

Being 70 yrs old is no excuse for Dion's RUDE behavior. She was a pain on every task to her teammates. Star knows how to play the game and so far is outsmarting the rest of the ladies. Donald is going to have add some guys to the gals team soon.
