Trump Announces New 'Celebrity Apprentice' Cast
What do a rapper, a Playboy Playmate and a reality TV star have in common? Donald Trump can tell you, and he will.
The real estate mogul revealed the cast of his new season of "Celebrity Apprentice," and the contestants include singers Meatloaf, Lil Jon, John Rich, David Cassidy, Dionne Warwick and La Toya Jackson, plus baseball great Jose Canseco, "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch, actor Gary Busey, "Real Housewives of Atlanta's" NeNe Leakes, singer and TV host Mark McGrath, Playmate Hope Dworaczyk, actresses Marlee Matlin and Lisa Rinna, model Niki Taylor and former "View" hostess Star Jones.
"I just don't think you can have a better cast than this," Trump told "Extra" after the announcement. "This is one of the best I've seen on any reality show."
Former "Extra" host McGrath said, "I'm honored to be here, but I'm terrified and I don't want to be eliminated first," while Jackson added, "Am I nervous? Absolutely!"
"The Celebrity Apprentice" premieres March 6 on NBC.
