*NBC has officially announced its latest round of stars for “Celebrity Apprentice,” which includes former late night talk show host Arsenio Hall and former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day.
Donald Trump returns for the largest ever cast of the show when it premiers on Feb. 12 at 9 p.m. Trump’s sons Don, Jr. and Eric are back, as well as daughter Ivanka as advisors.

What’s amazing is that Donald Duck thinks that anyone will want to see this bunch of washed up washed out has beens or whoever they are Aubrey Really? Where is Danity Kane now or was it really ever a group? Did they actually amke a record? Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel LOL!!!!! Sorry Arsenio Oh by the by is he the only AA on the show? WOW what a bunch of losers. I won’t be watching. Because I hate Donald Duck and his stupid combover hair
he can count me out. not supporting any of his business interest, nothing with his name on it shall i touch.
i will need to see his bytch certificate….
I already decided that I wouldn’t be watching this idiot! On the Today show, he had some of the “celebrity”…and I use that term losely…apprentice on there and Matt asked how many people would vote for him if he ran for President and all those MORONS raised their hands. I knew I DEFINITELY wouldn’t be watching it after that! I guess they were all scared that they would be “fired” on the spot if they didn’t. I hope the rating are in the toilet for him this season. I watched last season because of NeNe and Star Jones. Arsenio Hall is not worth my TiVo space. Sorry Arsenio!
