Celebrity Apprentice 3 Cast Revealed

Posted: Oct 17th 2009 By: CMBurnham

The disgraced governor, the rehabilitated ballplayer, a couple of pro wrestlers, a comic and a comedy writer -- the cast of Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" is supposed to be a secret.

But here they are, walking down West 15th Street like something out of "Ocean's 11."

They were shooting in the Meatpacking District, recording the opening sequence of the show for the new season of NBC's hit reality show.

Look closely. They're marching in unison now -- but once the show kicks off in March, they're bound to be at each other's throats.

Among the faces this time around are former Met and Yankees star Darryl Strawberry, ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad and big-haired pop star Cyndi Lauper (who seemed visibly upset during the shoot when she heard that her longtime friend, wrestler Lou Albano had died earlier that day).

Donald Trump went to a lot of trouble to keep quiet the names of the celebs on the next "Apprentice." But we were there for the first day of shooting. Sharon Osbourne ("America's Got Talent") and Bret Michaels ("Rock of Love") -- two reality TV stars -- are on the show this year.

Actress Holly Robinson Peete and funny lady Carol Leifer, who wrote for "Seinfeld" -- the character of Elaine was based on her -- are also in.

Wrestlers Goldberg and Maria Kanellis, Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone and Olympic gold-medal swimmer Summer Sanders round out the crew, who will shoot the show over the next month.
