NBC and Donald Trump announced today the all-star celebrity cast for the second sensational season of "The Celebrity Apprentice" premiering on Sunday, March 1 (9-11 p.m. ET/PT).

On the first ever "Celebrity Apprentice" last season, winner Piers Morgan changed the way the game was played, winning millions for charity and setting the bar for all who follow. Now 16 new celebrities will rise to the challenge and once again it will be men versus women.

The men include: Clint Black (musician), Andrew Dice Clay (comedian), Tom Green (actor), Scott Hamilton (figure skater), Jesse James, Brian McKnight (singer/songwriter), Dennis Rodman, and Herschel Walker (football player).

The women include: Annie Duke (professional poker player), Natalie Gulbis (professional golfer), Claudia Jordan ("Deal or No Deal" model), Khloe Kardashian (reality TV star), Joan Rivers (comedienne), Melissa Rivers (TV host), Brande Roderick (actress) and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins (musician). All the celebrities will be vying for the coveted title as they fight for their respective causes.

"Last season's 'Celebrity Apprentice' became one of the hottest shows on television -- and this season will be even better," said Trump. "We have an amazing cast of celebrities and we are looking forward to some fantastic entertainment."

The 16 celebrities will compete in business-driven tasks around New York City using their fame, rolodexes and their business acumen to win weekly tasks, while ultimately battling with each other to stay out of the boardroom and avoid hearing those dreaded words "You're Fired!" They'll be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny -- all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers and personal assistants.

This season the competition is more cut throat than ever with a group of celebrities that will fight, tooth and nail, to win. Such intensity will result in flare-ups that, Piers Morgan says, "make his legendary fights with Omarosa look like a tea party."

Ultimately they will face the judgment of Donald Trump and his advisors in the boardroom, which will include his children (and colleagues), Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. Also appearing in the boardroom alongside Trump will be his longtime associate and trusted colleague, George Ross.

The boardroom will feature a "rotating seat," allowing a variety of famous business leaders and industry legends to join Trump in spirited judgment of the tasks. As with last season, winning celebrity teams will relish the opportunity to watch the losing team squirm in the boardroom from the comfort of their own war rooms.

When all is said and done, 15 celebrities will be famously fired and only one will emerge to become The Celebrity Apprentice.

I liked working with Tom Greene. He was nice. I loved Joan Rivers. She is so nice and real and she gave me a nice, little gift. Melissa was all right. I have no comment for Ms. Annie Duke. Tionne (T-Boz) was cool, Hershel Walker was a sweet guy along with Clint Black. Dennis Rodman was decent. Khloe was cute, Brian was ok, Natalie was such a sweethart. I was shocked but Andrew Dice Clay was nice and cordial. Jesse James was ok. I did not get to know Claudia or Scott Hamilton though. I was surprised to see a certain someone get eliminated during the first episode.

From watching the first episode, I see what you mean. What a bitch. Was she rude to you personally?

The remainder of those cupcakes were given to us and some of my co workers did not like the taste of those cupcakes and some did. I took mine home but wound up throwing it out after two days because I accidentally let it dry out. LOL.

Hunington15, I felt Annie could have been more cordial and courteous to me. That is all I'm gonna say. ;)
However, I won't blast her because her mind might have been focused on other things. I will give her the benefit of the doubt. :cool:

Andrew Dice Clay was very courteous and although I am not into his foul mouth, stand-up routines, he has got my respect.

I was not there for the selling of the cupcakes but was there for the aftermath after the challenge was done. I was not scheduled to come in until the early evening. I was shocked when it was revealed later that night that Andrew was eliminated.

You are a two hour drive from NY and maybe I can muster up an old cupcake. :lol:

I keep hustling to keep working it is not always easy. I will soon be moving up to another level in the business. I don't like working on location during the cold days outside. It can be brutal brother. :(

Yeah trying to get back into similar type of work, just grinding everyday. I know one thing, once i'm employed again I won't ever complain about getting up on a monday morning again. I had a dream of being of PA when i graduated college with a degree in Mass Comm but i was able to learn that it's only 2 ways you get a job in the media

1.knowing someone who already works in the media.


I used to send resumes to my local tv stations all the time when I first graduated and had no idea tv stations much like any other employer hire from REFERRALS from employees within. So I just gave up on it.

I was very entertained by the finale. I thought 2 hours would be dragging, but I thought it was very fast paced and well put-on. Congrats to NBC for finally entertaining me for more than 1 hour a week! :D

Annie Duke was more bitchy than Joan Rivers-LOL. Seriously, is she always like this? Glad to see ratings were decent. Hopefully more people tune in, because this season looks like its going to be a good one.

Folks, I am so itching to tell you more details in regards to these two ladies and the show but I have to be very careful since I signed a disclosure statement. All I can say is enjoy the show and keep the ratings up. I want to do another season with the show. Ya'll make it happen for me. LOL.
