Celebrity Apprentice Cast Confirmed!

The new season of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice will premiere on March 14th with a battle of the sexes as each team of celebrities battle it out to earn money for their favorite charities.
The new cast has been revealed and from the looks of these names, this season could turn out to be pretty darn entertaining!

The female team will consist of Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Cyndi Lauper, Carol Liefer, Maria Kanellis, and Summer Sanders.

The male team will be Bret Michaels, Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad, Michael Johnson, Darryl Strawberry, Goldberg, and Curtis Stone.

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!"

Joan Rivers Wins Celebrity Apprentice

It's true, Joan Rivers upset Annie Duke! Donald Trump should have had an easy time picking Annie, except for one little snag. She didn't win the final task.

After Joan won the final task with 3 out 5 required objectives, it would have set a dangerous precedent on Celebrity Apprentice for Donald Trump to go with the front runner Poker Champion Annie Dukes over Joan Rivers.

The last task seemed tailor made for Joan Rivers to pull out an upset. Why? Only one fifth of the final tally was based on Annie's strength, which was raising money from her friends and celebrities in the high-stakes poker world.

Annie had the cut-throat mannerism of last year's winner Piers Morgan. Annie raised more money than any other contestant. Annie won more tasks as project manager. She really had not skipped a beat other than looking like a narcissist along the way.

The show ran a whopping three hours and was such a hit this year that Donald took time out early to mention the show was picked up by NBC for yet another year.

Dennis Rodman showed up too after jumping out of rehab so he could be on the live broadcast where Donald picked a winner. Fan favorite Jesse James called Dennis Rodman stupid for not realizing Jesse was trying to help in an earlier boardroom intervention episode. There was a lot to see and next year will have big shoes to fill in terms of firebrand celebrities, altercations and over the top egos.

Celebrity Apprentice Changes Dennis Rodman

When Dennis Rodman was fired by Donald Trump on Celebrity Apprentice he started down a road to self-awareness; alcoholism. Dennis exposed to the world his extreme personality swings brought on by his drinking. You could not help but feel sorry for him as he didn't seem to function as a friendly fun loving person without a drink first. In July 2000 he was arrested for drunk driving in California.

His problem was not going to go away. You could see Dennis had the propensity for violence. Rodman has had brushes with the law in the past like his May 2008 arrest in LA for domestic battery. Watching him on the Celebrity Apprentice you never knew if he would actually raise a fist to his co-stars.

For those of you hoping and praying Dennis would see that he did in fact have a problem, there is hope. the urging of his family and friends such as his former world champion basketball coach Phil Jackson it is reported that May 4th 2009 Dennis will be seeking help for his alcoholism. He hasn't acted his promise to get help yet, with the Season Finale of the Apprentice coming up with a live portion this Sunday May 10th. Dennis is delaying admission as he wants to attend the live show. Will he follow through?
