The Donald tried to keep it hush-hush, but The New York Post has revealed the cast of Donald Trump's next edition of the 'Celebrity Apprentice.' 'Rock of Love' star Bret Michaels, 'America's Got Talent' judge and Osbourne mama Sharon Osbourne, pop star Cyndi Lauper, former pro baseball star Darryl Strawberry and scandal-plagued former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich top the list.Well, not so fast, Mr. Governor ...
Turns out that Blagojevich -- whose wife Patti already did a reality TV stint last summer with her appearance on NBC's 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!' -- may not be allowed to participate in the Trump competition, as a hearing is being held today in the ongoing Blagojevich corruption case, and federal prosecutors are expected to challenge his appearance on the show.
Rod Blagojevich had originally planned to participate in 'I'm a Celebrity,' but was blocked by a U.S. District judge, and wife Patti took his spot instead.
Here's the full cast for the third season of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' which is filming now in New York City and is scheduled to premiere on NBC next March after the Winter Olympics. (Update: Supermodel Selita Ebanks has also been spotted shooting with the rest of the cast, so we've added her to the list.)
• Rod Blagojevich (maybe)
• Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks
• pro wrestler Bill Goldberg
• comedienne (and inspiration for the Elaine character on 'Seinfeld') Carol Leifer
• pro wrestler Maria Kanellis
• Cyndi Lauper
• Bret Michaels
• Sharon Osbourne
• '21 Jump Street' star Holly Robinson Peete
• gold medal-winning Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders
• comedian Sinbad
• Australian chef Curtis Stone
• Darryl Strawberry

I agree with you. After JR's comments & rude toward Annie. Mr Trump wanted her to win anyhow. Letting her come back after walking off. If it Annie he wouldn't let her come back. Ms. R. made some racist comments. Sorry, but, I am not a fan of the show anymore. In fact, I perfer regular people on the show.

I thought I was the only one. I vowed that if Joan Rivers won, I would NEVER watch another episode. Up until then, I had NEVER missed an episode. I agree... Good Luck Trump!

YOU ARE SOOOOOOO RIGHT!!!! When "the Donald" picked the biggggeessssttt piece of human female scum to be the "winner" that was it for me - and I tolerated a lot to watch the first and the second show but when he chose her so HE COULD KEEP HIS "A" LIST STATUS WITH THE "BIG TIME STARS" I said, "Too bad Donald, you're a fun guy but you're also TOO BIG OF A WHORE FOR ME". Ciao, baby!! Who loves ya'??? Not me...

I agree Robin. Trump lost a huge opportunity, in this market, where many people have lost jobs,to educate people in the art of actually applying for a "real" job and how to intern under good mentors. Who cares about these loser actors with no morality. I didn't educate my children to behave the way these people behave. Nor should a boss place his people in a position that brings out the worst. The only thing Trump is doing is marketing the Trump brand name.

Can they airbrush Bret Michaels face some more??? Pretty soon all the features will be blurred out...he looks like a cartoon in this picture.

I agree 100% - The fix was so obvious when (big surprise) Joan Rivers won the last fiasco. Does Donald Trump really think the American public is that stupid? YOU'RE fired, Mr. Trump!
