You're FIRED!



Carolyn Kepcher, Donald Trump's co-star on "The Apprentice," has heard him say "You're fired!" for the last time — because this time he said it to her, sources told The Post. The 36-year-old — who was running the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff in Westchester, N.Y., and helping supervise the Trump National in Bedminster, N.J. — was let go earlier this week.

"She became a prima donna," said one insider. "Being on 'The Apprentice' went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements." Kepcher — who is married and has a son, Connor, 6, and a daughter Cassidy, 4 — had agents at ICM handling book and TV offers, and Westport Entertainment weighing speaking engagements and endorsements. She came out two years ago with a book, "Carolyn 101: Business Lessons from 'The Apprentice's' Straight Shooter."

Insiders say that when Trump tried to reach her recently, she was off on a trip to make a speech. Another time, while giving a tour of the pro shop at the Briarcliff club, she didn't seem to know the prices on any of the merchandise.
