Two WWE wrestlers (Goldberg and Maria Kanellis), two Olympians (Michael Johnson and Figure It Out host Summer Sanders) plus various reality "stars", 80s throwbacks and one disgraced politician.

Donald Trump.  Continuing to redefine the word "celebrity" as we know it.

I guess I'll just make a dirty reference involving Secret Slime Action and Summer Sanders before Lemon does.

That list wasn't as bad as I imagined.  And by bad I mean I've heard of just about everyone on that list.  Still doesn't make them "celebrities" nowadays.  Carol Leifer I swear has a game/reality connection.  She was either the female panelist on the latest "I've Got a Secret" or she was one of the judges on Arsenio's "Star Search".  Hold on...*runs to IMDB*...yeah, it was "Star Search".  Eh, I'll watch it for Holly Robinson Peete...who needs to be Hangin' With Mr. Goodwyn.


/That's me, BTW.

And for that, you receive a "well played" from the Director. :)

Are you referring to the choice of contestants, or to The Donald himself?

EDIT:  Wait, Blagojevich's on this?  Sweet.

So NBC finally put my former ex-governor on one of their vehicles. Watch for the poetry to flow badly, and the toupee to get big.

I believe he was on I'm A Celebrity... as well.

Frankly, I'm just happy he's still in the public eye just so he can get a few more mentions on Jon Stewart.

He wasn't.  His wife *was*.

The judge wouldn't let him leave the US to participate.

Does anyone know the longer term forecast of The Apprentice?

Will they return to the non-celeb format?  

Is it due to lack of new projects that he is doign this celebrity version?

Au contraire.  Bebe stars in my courtroom scenes (alongside Angie Harmon and Carey Lowell), Summer stars in my sports scenes (alongside Natalie Gulbis and Woods Mistress #8), and Markie Post is the host of all my game shows ("Higher, Jim!").

You're certainly welcome to Jill Hennessy... Stephanie March if you behave yourself.

You can have 'em.  I'll take Amy Jo Johnson and Mariska Hargitay to star in all my cop shows.

Her or Kim Greylek.  I don't think she even made it a whole season, but she made a lasting impact on the penal system.

Raised the bar on mine, I'll tell you.
I'm more of an S. Epatha man myself, though.

Meanwhile, back on the topic, are the ratings for the celebs higher than the ones using the everyman contestants?
