A New Season of The Celebrity Apprentice Begins This Sunday!

The Donald is warming up his seat in the boardroom, right along with his trademark, the ever-feared phrase, "You're Fired!"

Fourteen celebrities from all walks of fame are warming up too for their upcoming appearance on this season's The Apprentice (TV), which begins Sunday night on NBC. They are preparing to battle it out in corporate America for their favorite charities, week after brave week, as they endure Mr. Trumps fastidious challenges.

And who are the determined contestants on this season's show? A very interesting, eclectic, and energetic assortment of TV, music, and sports personalities. There's even a couple of wrestlers, a chef, and a politician in the mix.

In a recent interview with PopStar, contestant Bret Michaels of the famed 80's rock group Poison, had this to say about his fellow competitors/castmates, "I am going to stand up for everyone in the cast; everyone's compassion for wanting to win. There were no quitters in this game...they all wanted to win for their charity." You can read Bret's full interview, including his thoughts on Donald Trump, and the whole Celebrity Apprentice experience.
