Okay, I have been working my EXCLUSIVE sources to death to finally get the CONFIRMED list of who is on Celebrity Apprentice . It wasn’t easy but I have the list. But first, yesterday was the first challenge. The celebs were divided into two teams by gender. Keisha Knight-Pulliam took the role of Project Manager for the women’s team and Geraldo Rivera grabbed the reins for the men’s team. Both teams took over a Pie Face location in NYC to sell pies. The guys choose to sell a low-fat chicken pot pie and a desert pie of some sort. The ladies had two pies as well and sold theirs for $10 and $20. The ladies also advertised a celebrity pie in the face event. Each team sold their pies from 11;30 -2:30 yesterday.
So who won?
I’m not a thousand percent sure. I will say that the men seem to be the ones acting like they won. Geraldo says they raised $280, 000 and that sounds like a combined total to me. Sean Hannity and Chippendales are said to have made huge donations for the men’s team. I have a feeling that the men were the winners. Only Donald Trump knows for sure.
Meet the Men’s Team:
Ian Zierling (Beverly Hills 90210), Lorenzo Lamas, Geraldo Rivera, Kevin Jonas, Terrell Owens (Football), Johnny Damon (Baseball), Sig Hansen (Deadliest Catch) Gilbert Gottfried (Comedian)
Meet the Women’s Team:
Keisha Knight Pulliam, Kenya Moore, Brandi Glanville, Kate Gosselin, Vivica Fox, Shawn Johnson (Olympic Gymnast), Leeza Gibbons, Jamie Anderson (Olympic Snowboarder)
Rumors Debunked:
No Johnny Weir! I guess he faked TMZ out! lol. No Gabrielle Reece (She’s in Hawaii). No Ludacris (but he is supporting Keisha). No David Hasselhoff (He’s in Madrid).
As for my prediction for who went home, I would guess Keisha took the hit for being Project Manager unless someone else just really showed out. Personally, I hope it was Keisha. Awhile back she was rumored to be joining RHOA and she denied the rumors with a bit of attitude. She seemed to think she was too good for RHOA. That would lead me to believe she would not get along with Kenya or Brandi. From pictures I have seen, Brandi and Kate seem like they might be getting along. Kenya and Vivica had some beef a couple years ago but in the pictures I saw it looked like they be tolerating each other.
Andy Cohen and Kristen Taekman dropped by to support the women’s team. Let’s hope we didn’t lose any housewives just yet!
Kate Gosselin? She’s a worthless whiner.
Seriously? That is your comment?

Sorry Nicole, I tried to agree…….but!
Sorry to see the Hoff not on. It would have been funny to see Kate Gosselin chasing him as the future father of her worthless 8.
Thanks for this TT. Do you know when this usually airs? I always watch, but I CRS.
Honestly, they don’t air it for AGES. End of December maybe?

I though I saw somewhere that it debuts in the summer. I know it usually starts in March but it was renewed for a new season late
Geraldo Rivera’s career has sunk this much. Very sad.
I don’t think he even has a show on Fox anymore. Did he retire or did they retire him?
He still reports for them from time to time. He’s 70 years old and has had a remarkable career in journalism.
Sunk from what? Trying to get US troops killed?
Emily, I remember that! My husband was in Iraq at the time and I was over sensitized to stupid crap like that anyway! Someone explain why I watched the minute to minute coverage?
Sig Hansen? That makes me fucking happy, I cannot even explain.
Part of me thinks Sig might have replaced Johnny. But I have no real confirmation on that yet. I love Sig but can’t imagine him doing this; LOL.

I can’t believe Sig Hansen is on there. I love “Deadliest Catch.” $280,000 is a lot of money raised.
Tamara, thanks for the tea!
I am at a complete loss for words after reading that Sig will be on this show. Ugh! Love Sig, love The Northwestern (bought myself a NW jacket for my birthday almost 5yrs ago, wear it almost daily!!) but doubt I’ll be able to bring myself to watch this show. Watched the season that Bill Rancic was on and that was more than enough.
Sig is not someone I ever thought I’d see doing this show but I can’t wait to see how he does.
I loved Deadliest Catch and watched up until Capt. Phil died. I couldn’t watch after that.
Oh, maybe Mike Rowe will show up for Sig and buy a pie. That voice is so sexy!
Sig makes me sexy crazy – I adore him sooooooo much. Whew. I’m menopause sweating right now from all his sexy sexy!
You just made my day. I can have more Sig after this season of DC…. mmmmmm! 🙂
OOOh, Sig. Now that would be fun to watch. My sons and I saw him at Men’s Wearhouse in early March getting fitted for a suit. Tried to get my boys to go say hi but they were too intimidated.
OMG yes! I love Sig, I hope he has one of his epic meltdowns. I’d love to see Captain Keith along side him. Anyone who watches DC knows those guys have crazy tempers!
I love sig. The Northwestern is my jam! I’ve watched Deadliest Catch since it first started. I wonder what charity he’s playing for? I know he’s done a lot of charity work with the Hilstrands. I really never thought Sig would do this show though.
I’m a Wild Bill man myself.

These “celebrities count on their friends with deep pockets when they are project manager” Like you said said Geraldo called on Chippendale’s and Sean Hannity..Who in the world is Brandy Glanville, Kate Gosslin and Kenya Moore going to call for help?
Actually, the Chippendales were Ian Zierling’s pockets. I thought it was great that he called on them on the first task when he was not project manager. He is winning over the men’s team especially Geraldo and Lorenzo! I didn’t do a friends chart for the men because really, I just need Kenya to beat Brandi because if the do, ‘rica is going to buy me flat in the 7th arronndisement in Paris!

Brandi might have Andy Cohen’s $ and possibly Yolanda and David’s if they aren’t too busy divorcing. I can’t think of anyone else that would donate to Brandi though. I would donate to Kenya if I had anything to donate. She entertains me when I’m feeling blue. Her and Miss Lawrence always put a smile on my face. I’m weird that way.
Beth Stern, Howard Stern’s wife, is also friends with Brandi (probably through Kristen) and I bet she’d come out to support her, especially if the money was going to benefit an animal charity.
I will tune in just to watch Kate Gosselin try to function without her bodyguard.
Kenya has been in the entertainment industry over 20 years so she knows a lot if people. Both Kate and brandy were housewives before becoming reality stars so I doubt they will be as successful, especially if brandy doesn’t stay sober for this show
Kate could get Steve “The Purseboy” to come and bring a few coins. That is if she pays him in cash rather than services.
This is going to be rigged. I bet Sean Hannity and his conservative friends over at Fox News
will donate lots of money and get their friends in the area to donate. Did you see all that money Hannity helped raise for Zimmerman. However, the CA money will go to a good cause. But the game will be fixed in the men’s favor. TT please don’t kill me for this comment. I’m new to this. But I’ve seen you chastise folk. I dont want to be “that girl”. 🙂
Oh, I get it. You two are doing your best Kim Richards imitation. Carry on…
not at all. we just have a friendly wager on CA and ‘rica knows she is gonna lose big.

Back on topic, it would totally suck to be voted off just before having to do the RHOA reunion. Let’s all hope that did not happen.
Even if that happened, Kenya wouldn’t be able to let on, right? Don’t they have to sign massive confidentiality agreements? Will Brandi be able to keep her mouth shut?
Yeah, they could never tell us. They will fill us in months from now when the show airs. The first task is always very public so we can “spoil” it or as CA looks at it “generate interest” the later events are always more and more private. They know how to work the bloggers.
By the time the show airs, will any of us really care? I won’t even remember what’s going on by then. 🙂
TT thanks for the great read as always. Interesting cast. I cannot wait for this season. I may actually watch it…LOL
Kenya and Brandi started following each other on Twitter so it seems like we might see these two getting along surprisingly.
I love Celebrity Apprentice, I even like Donald Trump. It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s whether you win…lol. I think that’s his real hair too, nobody would wear a rug that effed up. He says he has bad hair, I believe him.
I like the sound of the competitors, except for Gilbert Gottfried. I have never found him funny and his voice makes my ears bleed, but maybe he will be gone soon (fingers crossed).
It’ll be good, Celebrity Apprentice is always good.
Kenya even retweeted Brandi thanking Andy and Kristen for showing up and buying pies. Also, I doubt Kenya and Brandi will be the first to go. Let’s be real, Donald boots of the boring “nice” people, and keeps the shit stirrers around for a while even if they don’t do the best of job, because he wants ratings.
Look at how long Teresa flew under the radar. I think Donald kept her around hoping for a table flip, but it never happened. Teresa used CE to help her image.
Also, he kept Nene around even though she never raised any money for her fake scam of a charity, she was the only one in the competition at one point who had not raised any money for her charity…
I think Brandi and Kenya will be safe for a while.
I certainly hope so. I want to see Brandi and Kenya working together and shock….getting along but ultimately LOSING the task followed by a showdown in the boardroom. They’re both good talkers so…..
Keisha could have called Tyler Perry for big bucks.
I wonder if Andy donated money. I hope he did not buy 1 pie 🙂
I can’t wait to watch only to see Brandi and Kenya.
I stopped watching because I hate Trump. He also fires the boring people.
After that gawd awful performance she gave in Madea goes to jail, Tyler should have donated for allowing her to embarrass herself on screen.

Sorry for the double post Lady T! I don’t know why my phone does this.
Thanks for the tea TT…I Love Celebrity Apprentice and the ‘Donald’. Surprised about TO and Sig on the men’s team…No surprises on the women’s team for me. Everyone is always nice in the beginning but as the layers start falling off…thats when folks get catty and cagey! I will definitely be tuning in…
I wonder if this will boost the business for Kenya. I haven’t watched Celebrity Apprentice in ages and the one with Nene was just to mean spirited. I hope this one does well. Hope T.O doesn’t cry as usual.
No Johnny Weir? DVR SPACE RESCINDED! I looked forward to him and Kenya twirling around in their tiaras trying to outbitch the rest of the pack for the top spot and also their antics when they get called to the boardroom, which you know they would! The rest of these folks are snoozers. BTW Kenya movie with Boris on Bounce at 10am est. Watching now and my eye may begin to revolt and close in protest. She is the same performer,not to be confused with actress, as she is on RHOA. Over the top.
Kenya used being on RHOA to her advantage. Her crazy and over the behavior got on CA after just 1 full season of RHOA. Her beauty also helped. She is crazy like a fox.
It took Nene 4? Seasons to break out.
Tamara, do you have any idea of how much they get paid for doing the show? A ballpark figure? Team Kenya here!
The show is for charity. Contrary to Nene ranting about TRUMP CHECKS! they do not get paid. They do receive approximately $16K to cover their expenses and such. The actual rich people donate that to their charity. The rest use it to buy weave and ramen noodles. 🙂

I think it is officially called a per diem of $1k per day.
Lord please let Vivica Fox beat the shit out of Brandi for popping off with one of her stupid statements.
I think Brandi and Kenya will not act like fools. Their roles on the RH shows is to start trouble. Now if Brandi drinks too much watch out!
I soo could do without Gilbert but it is for charity, lol.
Speaking of wagers, who wants to bet Brandi will cry during the filming of CA? I’ll donate $50 to the SPCA every time she cries. I’m going to go broke perhaps.
Being fired later than the first challenge is a win, if compared to Nene’s dropping out. Kenya should tap Star and Latoya for a few dollars in Nene’ name, just to spite her.
I’m glad I am not the only one that thinks Sig is hot. Not my usual type and wondered if my thermostat was broken.
I cannot wait for this show! I wonder what charities they are playing for. The beauty queens seem to pull in the money, so I wonder if Brandi can pull in money as a model. I think some people are brought in as real players, and some people are brought in as wild cards-meaning they usually cannot raise funds for charity and just cause trouble.
Kate G. as a celebrity? Now you’ve gone rogue. Wrong on so many levels. She is the epitome of a mommy wannabe celebrity gone wrong. I fail to see what she brings to CA much less how she can raise dollars for charity opposed to real celebrities. May the Donald et al serve her a straight forward dismissal home because she’s not a celebrity, has nothing to offer, and because she’s not a philanthropic individual but a wretched washed-out mommy retired wannabe who showcases herself to garner attention. Then let us agree that she is the epitome of stupidity and ridiculous fodder for a reality show…even CA.
/shrug I think she will do well. She’s very organized and reasonably intelligent.

I agree. Kate may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I watched that show from the beginning and she is hard working and organized. 8 kids under 5 years old, you better be organized. Sometimes she went overboard but that damn husband was just lazy as hell and couldn’t be bothered most times. Immature as hell and if it was left up to him nothing would have ever got done. Remember one episode which had him cooking a meal. Apparently he did this rarely but it was such bullshit. All day long to prepare, hours to cut up a damn carrot and everybody had to praise his ass all day for doing it. Such a douche to his kids half the time, no patience with them and you could tell he had checked out of being a father early on. Always talking about how young he was and not being able to party and do things like clubbing and video games. Just ridiculous. I don’t care for Kate but she did what had to be done with zero to little help from him.
Kate has been working on getting on CA for a long time. She kept tweeting that she was a good friend of Mark Burnett’s. Next, will she be cast on Survivor? Now, that I would watch.
Since it was a fundraising task the person who brought in the lowest usually goes. I guess we will see by the tweets
I wonder if Kate is hiding her ‘bodyguard” somewhere in Trump tower?
Shawn Johnson is too nice for this bunch.
The bodyguard has been seen following her one step behind into her hotel. Kate thinks she is Queen ELizabeth.
Who would want to be on a reality show with people fighting and cussing. Keshia Knight Pulliam is a classy woman and I don’t blame her for not wanting to be on RHOA. She is a great philantropist, especially for children, educated, and has a business. She is very well respected and most folks didn’t want on RHOA. Where was the attiitude from saying she was not going on the show!!! I hope she did when the challenge, because I like her and because of your shallow saying you hope she doesn’t.
Who said anything about not wanting Keisha to win. I am rooting for the female team, idiot. What I said was it appears from everything I have seen and heard is that the women probably lost, and the PM usually goes home for that unless there was a really weak link somewhere.
*sigh* Kate, Brandi, and Kenya have forced me into rooting for the male team.
Tamara what about Criss Angel? He was rumored and I thought he was in New York recently? 🙁
I was hoping for him to be on.
The picture that had leaked showed Kenya golfing next to the Jonas kid so I was hoping the teams were mixed male and female. Blech
Go Kenya
Thanks for the tea!
First, let me say, I love your commenting rules; they are fantastic. Will you be blogging about celebrity apprentice when the season starts? I hope Kate does well. I’ve always thought she would excel on this show given her organizational skills and sense of structure.
Thanks, I prefer QUALITY comments over quantity. Welcome. I can already tell you will fit right in. We do get bitchy in comments. (Especially hormonal old me.) Don’t pay that any nevermind…. 🙂
The guys team looks interesting too with Ian, Kevin, and Sig.
TT I know you have some top secret
I think this is the best Celebrity Apprentice cast in the shows 7 season’s history.
