Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, ’80s singer Cyndi Lauper, and baseball legend Darryl Strawberry are among the fourteen contestants who will be appearing on the new season of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Blagojevich is facing federal bribery charges after allegedly plotting to auction off then President-Elect Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat. He was removed from office but has denied any wrongdoing. Last spring, Blagojevich was barred from travelling to Costa Rica to compete in another reality show. His wife, Patti, took his place.
Here’s the complete lineup of “celebs” competing for charity on this season’s show: Sharon Osbourne, along Cyndi Lauper, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Maria Kanellis, Carol Leifer Summer Sanders, Darryl Strawberry, Bret Michaels, Bill Goldberg, Michael Johnson, Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad, and Curtis Stone.
The Celebrity Apprentice, hosted by Donald Trump, returns to NBC March 14.
