The new season of Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" hasn't even started up and comic Lisa Lampanelli is already firing the first salvo at NBC.
Lampanelli blasted the network to TMZ.com for disrespecting her by inviting her and fellow contestants, former Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza and "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice, to a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden — and then putting her in the back while the others got courtside seats.
"We killed ourselves literally all day promoting for the show," Lampanelli told TMZ. "Well, guess what NBC, you owe me a big f— apology."
"Take a picture of my apartment building and get my address, because I'll expect my gift basket and good Knicks tickets tomorrow."
The standup comedian famous for her insults will have plenty of fodder in a cast that includes Arsenio Hall, Tia Carrere, “American Idol” singer Clay Aiken and mob daughter Victoria Gotti. The new season starts Feb. 12 at 9 p.m.
"You think anyone is watching that 'Celebrity Apprentice' for anybody except me and a couple other people who really keep the ball rolling," Lampanelli asked TMZ.
