New ‘Celebrity Apprentice’: Rod Blagojevich, Sharon Osbourne, Bret Michaels

UPI POY 2009 - News and Features.
Question: does anyone even watch Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” anymore? I haven’t watched it since the original Omarosa season. It just seemed so staged and fake to me. But I guess someone, somewhere is watching the “Celebrity” version of the reality show, because it’s back for another season. This year’s lineup of stars who compete on teams doing various “business” related challenges for charity includes that douchebag former governor, Rod Blagojevich. As if that’s not nauseating enough, the roster includes “Rock of Love” star Bret “This is my real hair, honest!” Michaels and former NY Met Darryl “Nose candy” Strawberry.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich wasn’t allowed to participate on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! because he couldn’t leave the country, but he will be among 14 contestants on the new season of Donald Trump’s NBC show The Celebrity Apprentice, which kicks off March 14.

And no reality show would be complete these days without an Osbourne. Others competing for charity on the show include mama Sharon Osbourne, along with female competitors Cyndi Lauper, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Maria Kanellis, Carol Leifer and Summer Sanders. The men include: Darryl Strawberry, Bret Michaels, Goldberg, Michael Johnson, Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad and Curtis Stone.

What the heck is Cyndi Lauper doing on this show? Girlfriend, you are so much better than this. I’m going to give Cyndi a little slack since I know she has some charities that are very important to her, including her own True Colors Fund, which supports gay/lesbian equality. As for the other “celebs,” I actually had to Google some of these people. Selita Ebanks is a Victoria’s Secret model. Maria Kanellis is a professional wrestler, and Curtis Stone is is an Australian chef. I wonder if Blagojevich, Michaels and Trump will have some kind of bad hairpiece challenge? I might tune in for that.

    BLAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry, just had to say that.

  2. Lem says:

    who is the title & last pictures? it almost looks like Sharon Osborn?

  3. bros says:

    wow, is that sharon? her face is getting stretched soooo tight. holy cow. she looks like a different person.

  4. Shelly says:

    Hey Firestarter, are you familiar with good ol’ Rod? He makes me embarrassed to be from IL, along with a lot of other political hacks! LOL

    And yes, to the others, it is Sharon Osbourne.

    I’ve never watched this show and don’t intend to start. I’m sure Blago’s charity will be “Blago’s Association to keep me out of prision” or something equally as selfish! Gag.

  5. Susette says:

    I’m the opposite, Shelly. I’ve never watched Celebrity Apprentice, but being from Illinois, I can’t wait to see Rod up there. Of course, if gladatorial combat or lions and an arena were involved, it would be even better…

  6. Maddie says:

    I’m surprised that Bret took the time to stop sleeping with his skanky groupies to do the show in the first place.

  7. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Wildenstein and the baseball glove. Ick.

  8. Firestarter says:

    Yes Shelly, I know who Blago is and I just like saying BLAGO. Don’t mistake that for me being a fan. : )

  9. Tia C says:

    Nevermind about Cyndi Lauper, I’m more surprised at Holly Robinson Peete, not to mention Sinbad! WTF are they doing? What are their agents thinking? These shows are for has-been losers, everyone knows that. Maybe that’s what they are considered now (I certainly consider Lauper one), but that’s a shame.

    And what in the heck is up with Sharon Osbourne’s face? Bless her heart, she is pulled so tight she is about to pop!

  10. Anastasia says:

    OH MY GOD that cannot be Sharon Osbourne!!! What the HELL happened to her???? Did she get into a car accident and have reconstructive facial surgery or something? I almost didn’t recognize her!

  11. Shelly says:

    Hey Fire, NO fan here either – trust me! LOL I’ll never forget the first time my son tried to say Blagojevich, came out Blago*itch. I was rolling. Anyway, I feel sorry for his kids most of all! :o)

  12. KIMBERLY says:

    THE PIC OF SHARON IS BAD BUT MY GOODNESS EVERYONE NEEDS TO RELAX…THERE ARE BAD PICS OF EVERYONE FAMOUS OUT THERE. WHEN YOU SEE HER ON TV SHE DOESNT LOOK LIKE THIS NOW

  13. Firestarter says:

    @Shelly- Yeah, poor kids!

    LOL@Blagob*tch!

  14. Goddess711 says:

    Looks like Sharon’s becoming a cheap wax-figure immitation of herself so Tussaud’s doesn’t have to do it; they just have to have her stuffed and mounted…so to speak…

  15. Ruffian9 says:

    Blago…vich..whatever. Atrocious hair. He’s just flat out repulsive.

    Cyndi…really? Why why why?

  16. Ms MoMo says:

    Wait. Did you say Blago / Michaels / Trump “her-d-peece” challenge?! So there *will* be skanks.
    {sorry. old joke.)

  17. PigskinMama says:

    Blago should be ashamed to be on tv like nothing ever happened. Maybe it’s a Celebrity Apprentice For Celebs With Whacked Hair and Donald Trump just wanted to have fucked up hair buddies. They should have Kate Gosselin and Rhianna on there too. Oh and Sharon fits right in nicely. Brett will probably wear his dopey hat the whole series to hide his bald spot. I’m not hair obsessed honestly. 🙂

  18. Caz says:

    Sharon Osbourne has a bad wig on in that photo. Try growing old gracefully, love.

  19. Moon says:

    Sharon Osbourne is a controlling b*tch. She loves keeping her hubby full of drugs so that he can’t function without her. When will she move that mug of hers out of the spotlight?

  20. i love sharon osbourne she has a nice smile

  21. Steven says:

    I am very interested in BLAGO. the ads have really presented him with a great sense of humor. I am hoping his intelligence propells him forward

  22. Hiya! I simply want to give an enormous thumbs up for the nice data you could have right here on this post. I will probably be coming again to your weblog for extra soon.

  23. My brother suggested I might like this website. He used to be totally right. This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine just how so much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
