"It was the 8:15 flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, and there Omarosa was screaming at this poor woman, 'Don't you know who I am? I was on "The Apprentice!"'" a witness reports. Meanwhile, Herbal Essences, having been flooded with angry calls, appears to be backing away from its decision to use Omarosa in an ad campaign for its shampoo. Clairol, which makes Herbal Essences, issued the following statement, "[Omarosa] is not a spokesperson for the brand nor have any decisions been made on whether or not we will use any of her filmed segments."

A shampoo company is flooded with angry calls over their choice of spokesperson. How do we harness this shallow energy for things that actually matter?
