According to Mercurynews.com, Donald Trump is shaking things up on his reality show The Apprentice. On the Jan. 3 debut of the reality show, 14 celebrities will be stepping in as participants and facing the Donald in the boardroom.
Celebrity participants include Sopranos star Vincent Pastore (he was Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero), Olympic gold medalists Nadia Comeneci and Jennie Finch, Taxi star Marilu Henner, Piers Morgan from America's Got Talent, former Apprentice Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth and Gene Simmons from KISS.
Simmons is hoping his face time with the Donald will leverage some of his other business endeavors. "I'm in the Gene Simmons business," he told the AP of his plan.
The celebrities will be competing for cash donations to their favorite charities, with the grand prize being a check for $250,000 to the winner's charity.
