ENTERTAINMENT: Trump, beware the big loud one!

Penn Jillette facing off with another loudmouth comic, Lisa Lampanelli, in Donald Trump’s board room?

We’d watch that show!

And apparently we will get to. Internet reports have the talky half of Penn & Teller joining the likes of George Takei and Clay Aiken on the next season of Trump’s TV contest “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Penn & Teller spokesman Glenn Alai cannot confirm, but does admit  the duo is taking the month off at the Rio because of a major TV project.

Teller is not sitting idly by. He Tweeted that he’s part of “a workshop to help create a Broadway version of ‘The Exorcist.’” He's becoming the go-to guy for theatrical illusions after his off-Broadway "Play Dead" and directing a bloody version of "Macbeth."
