Earlier today we learned that Donald Trump's people approached Pauly D to see if he'd be interested in joining the fourth season of "Celebrity Apprentice." According to TMZ, he turned down the offer because he'd rather focus on other projects. While the "Jersey Shore" star probably made the right decision, here are some business ventures we think he would've excelled at had he decided to be a part of Trump's show.
Venture: DJ Training School
Partner: Deadmau5
Why: The guy loves his custom-built, state-of-the-art DJ equipment, and if he and Deadmau5 taught peeps how to mix, scratch and bedazzle their own headphones, who knows what could happen? The next greatest Bat Mitzvah DJ could be one of their very own students!
Venture: Used High-End Car Dealership
Partner: Jay Leno
Why: Recently, Pauly told the late night host that prior to becoming a DJ, he worked his way up the ladder at Metro Honda in Rhode Island. And we all know Leno's got an auto obsession. There's a lot of money to be made slanging pre-owned Bentleys, just ask Mike "The Situation."
Venture: Blowout Bar
Partner: Justin Bieber
Why: After seeing the care and attention Pauly put into sculpting Michael Cera's hair, we knew his hands were made of gold. And who better to team up with than the King of Sideswept Bangs?
Venture: Butcher Franchise
Partner: Lady Gaga
Why: No one appreciates a good "sanguich" quite like Pauly, but how would this unlikely duo differentiate themselves from other meat shops? By using yesterday's cuts as wearable art! Who wouldn't want to support a business that recycles?
