Donald Trump announced the cast of this season’s “Celebrity Apprentice” on the Today Show Wednesday morning.
So who will be facing the Donald in the boardroom in 2012? The 18-person cast includes five singers — Clay Aiken, Dee Snider, Debbie Gibson, Tia Carrere and Aubrey O-Day; four comics — Arsenio Hall, Adam Carolla, Lisa Lampanelli and Penn Jillette (who is also a magician); three reality stars — Mob Wives’ Victoria Gotti, Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Guidice and American Chopper’s Paul Teutul Sr.; two actors — former Hulk Lou Ferrigno and Star Trek’s George Takai; and a partridge in a pear tree.
Okay, so there’s not really a partridge in a pear tree, but there is a former Miss Universe — Dayana Mendoza; and the cast is rounded out by actress Patricia Velasquez, race-car driver Michael Andretti and model Cheryl Tiegs.
Season 12 of Celebrity Apprentice premieres February 12th on NBC.
