The Celebrity Apprentice |

Yesterday we reported that the shamed former governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, is part of the cast of Donald Trump’s season three of The Celebrity Apprentice. Prosecutors aired concerns Monday over Blagojevich potentially tainting jury pools for his upcoming federal corruption trial by discussing evidence; something the embattled politician has repeatedly done in interviews.
The Celebrity Apprentice will air just as jurors are being chosen for the trial, which is scheduled to start June 3. Anything Blagojevich might say about the evidence may cause complications, said prosecutors to U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel. Mr. Blagojevich has “repeatedly commented on the evidence” during appearances on both TV and radio shows since he was indicted on charges of “scheming to trade or sell President Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat” according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar.
A picture showing some of the cast of season 3’s The Celebrity Apprentice has leaked online. Though not all of the cast-mates are shown in the new image, some rumored celebrities can be confirmed as NBC was caught filming a sequence on West 15th Street in New York City’s Meatpacking District on October 14th.
The standout from the pic is that the shamed former governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, will indeed participate in Donald Trump’s reality show. Joining him will be 80’s metal rocker Bret Michaels, Curtis Stone (Australian chef), Bill Goldberg (aka professional wrestler Goldberg), Summer Sanders (retired Olympic gold medalist in swimming), Carol Leifer (comedienne), Sharon Osbourne (TV personality and wife to rocker Ozzie Osbourne) and Daryl Strawberry (former MLB all-star).
