"Celebrity Apprentice" Spring 2010 Cast Announced (Begins 03/14/10)
Celebrity Apprentice: 14 All-Star Celebrities Take On Donald Trump In The Boardroom For The Third Season, Sunday, March 14
NEW YORK - Monday, January 4, 2010 - NBC and Donald Trump announced today the all-star celebrity cast for the third season of "The Celebrity Apprentice" premiering on Sunday, March 14 (9-11 p.m. ET/PT).
Over the course of the celebrity seasons, over $3.5 million has been donated to charities worldwide in addition to money raised from the awareness and exposure on the show. Now 14 new celebrities will rise to the challenge once again it will be men versus women. All the celebrities will be vying for the coveted title as they fight for their respective causes close to their hearts.
The men include: Darryl Strawberry, Bret Michaels, Goldberg, Michael Johnson, Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad and Curtis Stone. The women include: Cyndi Lauper, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Maria Kanellis, Carol Leifer and Summer Sanders.
Donald Trump said "This season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is going to be fantastic. The list of celebrities we have this season is outstanding and the show will really resonate with our core viewers and fans. I expect this season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' to be the best one yet."
The celebrities will compete in business-driven tasks around New York City using their fame, rolodexes and their business acumen to win weekly tasks and money to donate to their favorite charities, while ultimately battling with each other to stay out of the boardroom and avoid hearing those dreaded words "You're Fired!"
They'll be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny -- all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers and personal assistants. Certain tasks encourage the contestants to reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or donations -- making for entertaining surprise visits by some of the world's biggest stars along the way.
Trump and his advisors in the boardroom will judge all of the tasks. Returning back to the boardroom are Trump's children (and colleagues) Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., alongside longtime Trump Organization employee and "Apprentice" advisor George Ross. The boardroom will again feature a "rotating seat," allowing a variety of famous business leaders and industry legends to join Trump in spirited judgment on each task. As with last season, the winning celebrity teams will relish the opportunity to watch the losing team squirm in the boardroom from the comfort of their own war rooms. When all is said and done, 13 celebrities will be famously fired and only one will emerge to become The Celebrity Apprentice.

Don't know if I can watch it after the BS that happened last time. I would suspect like Rivers last season Osbourne will walk away with it regardless of what anyone else does.

Can't get intereted in any of these people, and especially after the fix was put in for that shrieking hag Joan Rivers last time I can't think of a reason to watch this season.

I used to love watching the Apprentice, but it totally lost me when they changed formats and made it about C-list celebrities & their egos than people looking for real jobs with Trump. I know they changed the format to give the show a ratings boost because as I recall the last "Real" Apprentice from LA was the lowest rated of the series.

Bret Michaels will probably make this one interesting. I like that they are continuing with it being two hours, its much better for the show. Isn't Blago supposed to be going to jail?

i will be watching for darryl strawberry. he was my favorite baseball player growing up. i still have almost every single baseball card of his up until 94'.
i absolutely despise brett michaels. he is one disgusting slimy guy.
sinbad might be cool and blago should be fun.
im also willing to bet sharon wins.

I know, I didn't really think Sinbad said "This is Sinbad's house, and when you in Sinbad's house, you my bitch!" in a kids movie where he wasn't playing a guy named Sinbad.

I'll watch for Goldberg. And Cyndi Lauper. And the train wreck that might be Darryl Strawberry. But after last season, it could be the Osborne show. Who knows?

I am so conflicted . While I personally never want to miss a minute of Rod Blagojevich on tv, on the other hand the rest of the cast seems useless and boring compared to the one from last season.

So Darryl Strawberry is first out then?
I mean, we all know how Donald reacted when he found out about Khloe Kardashian's DUI, so he's gonna f'ing flip about Straw.
