On my way to work this morning, Cyndi Lauper called in to the local NY radio station asking all listeners to come down to the diner on 62nd & Lexington at 11 am. She said that Sharon Osborne was also going to be there and that the money earned would be for charity. When the DJ asked which charity, she said she didn't know, it depended on who won lol. He then asked her if it was for Celebrity Apprentice and she said she couldn't answer.
I decided to google it, and found that the new cast has been revealed. I love Cyndi, I hope she does well.
Two reality-TV veterans and a pop songstress make up part of this year's
Celebrity Apprentice cast.
Bret Michaels,
Sharon Osbourne and
Cyndi Lauper may all get to hear the words "you're fired" from
Donald Trump on the NBC program's new season.
Nine others are joining them, including — for now — former Illinois Gov.
Rod Blagojevich,
who was impeached last year and is facing federal racketeering,
extortion and fraud charges. He's accused of trying to trade state
government business for campaign cash and of trying to sell the U.S.
Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama.
Blagojevich was denied the opportunity to compete on last summer's
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!News: Rod Blagojevich's Reality-TV Dream Is DashedBlagojevich's reality show dreams could be dashed again. He was due
in court Monday for a hearing in his federal corruption case, and his
lawyers could address his upcoming appearance on
Celebrity Apprentice.
A photo of the new cast shooting their opening appeared in the
New York Post and reveals that actress
Holly Robinson Peete and former baseball star
Darryl Strawberry will also be facing the Donald this cycle.
Rounding out the competition: wrestlers
Goldberg and Maria Kanellis,
Take Home Chef Curtis Stone, comedian
Sinbad, Olympic swimmer
Summer Sanders and writer/comedian
Carol Leifer — the inspiration behind
Seinfeld's Elaine.
The selection of this menagerie of people already has taken a hit.
Seth Meyers joked on
Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" that the new cast of
Celebrity Apprentice reduces the meaning of "celebrity" to "mammal."
What do you think of the new
Celeb Apprentice cast?
