Celebrity Apprentice 2013 Cast Announced By Donald Trump [Video]
Donald Trump went on the Today Show this morning to announce the new cast for the upcoming season of The Celebrity Apprentice, which will premiere in March 2013.
The new edition, Season 13 of the television reality franchise that launched in 2004, will be The Celebrity Apprentice All Stars. “We wouldn’t have done the ‘All-Star’ concept unless we were able to get the right contestants back,” Donald Trump claimed.
Shooting begins Monday for the show which will feature the following returning contestants: Trace Adkins, Stephen Baldwin, Gary Busey, Penn Jillette, Lil Jon, Bret Michaels (the winner of the 2010 Celebrity Apprentice), Dennis Rodman, Dee Snider, Marilu Henner, La Toya Jackson, Claudia Jordan, Omarosa (who appeared on the first season of the non-celebrity Apprentice), Lisa Rinna, and Brande Roderick.
In general, when a reality show goes the “celebrity” route, it usually means the series is on the way out. The Celebrity Apprentice, however, continues to pull good ratings with that format, so it must be a guilty pleasure for a large segment of the viewing population.
The “celebrities,” most of whom are looking to reboot their careers via the NBC reality show, donate their winnings from the various challenges to charity. The overall winner gets $250,000 for his or her designated charity.
According to Entertainment Weekly, several other notable former cast members will also show up:
”… Former winners Piers Morgan. Joan Rivers, John Rich, and Arsenio Hall will all be returning — but not as contestants. Instead, the four Celebrity Apprentice champs will show up alongside Donald Trump in the Boardroom at some point as advisors.”

boycott Trump and his show – he's a POS.
Dec 1, 2012
Will not be watching.
Dec 6, 2012
They couldn't get 16 more B-listers to volunteer? Same old faces? Snooze.
Dec 7, 2012
This group of C-lister's SUCK! What a complete, and total failure of a show!
Dec 11, 2012
Enough w/Lisa Rinna and her botox lip, but even more so, Omarosa is not worth watching! Seriously now, lets get some new people. These are all recycled!
Dec 25, 2012
Bret Michaels on celebrity apprentice hell yea baby
Dec 29, 2012
All they needed was Vincent Pastore and it'd be perfect. Can't wait!!!!!
Jan 6, 2013
I love this show, and can't wait to watch. However, I'd much prefer new celebs than recycled ones.
Jan 6, 2013
As some said: recycled people… Trump having a hard time getting people for his little "dog & pony show".
Jan 9, 2013
Lame. Why are all these shows recycling old casts…guess the economy won't allow for new ones^.
Jan 16, 2013
Love the show. Gary Busey is worth the watch. They recycle them just like "Dancing With the Has Beens."
Jan 16, 2013
Wow! Nothing new here but old retreads! Not worth watching. Omorosa! The poster child for arrogant black women! Trump really had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find her. No wonder the ratings are going south!
Jan 25, 2013
I think what would be cool would be half celebrities and half none celebrities then combine them both on each of the 2 teams and see how that goes.
Feb 1, 2013
Donald. You spouted off about politics and your sorry little spoiled rich boy rants against the President……and now you threaten to sue Mac Miller………nope will not do anything to support you EVER again. Go rot in a hole you arrogant worthless POS. I hope you lose a ton on this hopefully last season.
Feb 16, 2013
Enough already. Please no more calling a has been a celebrity. They are no longer popular or famous. Why even have them on television? Are these people paying DT to be on the show? Why have them on the show again? All of these people act childish, selfish, self centered and immature…Please, how about real people, real celebrities, not rejects. I will not be watching this season…getting bored of all the drama, childish behavior adults.
