Donald Trump is a peculiar creature.  He's at once a powerful business mogul and a larger than life personality.  He's also kind of a joke, but you get the sense that he's at least partially in on it.  He's an egomaniac and proud of it, flaunting his arrogance at every turn.  Who else would have the cajones to stay with that haircut while spending so much of their life in the public eye?  The second season of the surprisingly popular Celebrity Apprentice is still months away (it's returning at mid-season), but casting is, apparently, already under way.  The Apprentice's bastard cousin is considerably less serious than the original incarnation, and there's no greater example of this than in the casting.  We've already reported about three of the rumored participants: former NBA player Dennis Rodman, ancient comedian/red carpet maven Joan Rivers, and former Playboy model Brande Roderick.  So, who else will compete for charity on The Celebrity Apprentice?

Before we get into the names, just know that nothing is yet official.  However, the names that come out at this point are generally correct.  Nothing is set in stone, though.  Here are the rumored names:

Tony Danza: the former sitcom star and talk show host, Danza fills the much-needed TV Land quota, inhabited last season by Marilu Henner.

Heather Mills: the former Mrs. Paul McCartney was formerly a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. 

Melissa Rivers: Joan Rivers daughter and partner in red carpet crime.

Petra Nemcova: the ridiculously hot supermodel, who famously survived the Thailand tsunami of 2004 by clinging onto a tree.  Her fiance died.

Khloe Kardashian: sister of mysteriously famous Kim Kardashian.  She is literally famous for nothing. 

Joe Francis: the founder and proprietor of Girls Gone Wild.  Francis is a scum-bag of scum-bags, and should fit right in on The Celebrity Apprentice.


If all true, this is a eclectic and earth-shattering group of people.  The cast can't get any more ridiculous.  Color me excited for the season to begin.
