NBC has revealed the fourteen stars who will make up the new Celebrity Apprentice cast. The show, scheduled for a March premiere, features a mix that includes a disgraced politician, a former comedian, even a TV chef.

Bret Michaels, Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, Darryl Strawberry, Michael Johnson, Holly Robinson Peete, Goldberg, Carol Leifer, Sinbad, Summer Sanders, Maria Kanellis, Curtis Stone and Angel Selita Ebanks will be joined by former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich to compete for their chance to work for Donald Trump.

This will be Blago’s first foray into reality TV, but not for lack of trying. The politician was formerly scheduled to appear on another NBC series, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Due to Blago’s legal troubles, he sent wife Patti to the Costa Rican jungle in his stead.

MONDAY 2/2)

• Chuck (NBC, 8pm):  “In a 3-D edition, global rock star Tyler Martin (Dominic Monaghan) is marked for murder, so the agents kidnap the musician to discover who’s behind the deadly plot.”  Unfortunately, they don’t understand his “My-plane-crashed-on-an-island-and-there-were-these-Others” story either.
• Heroes (NBC, 9pm):  “The newly powerless Hiro resolves to help Ando become a true superhero.” Sorry, Suresh. You’re stuck with creating powers for yourself.
• Medium (NBC, 10pm):  Season premiere. “Daughter Bridgette lands in trouble at school for drawing nude pictures of her art teacher.” She earned an “A” for technique, but an “F” for accuracy.
• For the Love of Ray J (VH1, 10:30pm):  Series premiere. “The actor, singer-songwriter and brother of Brandy moves 14 beautiful women into his mansion and starts his search for love.” If Kim Kardashian can get a reality show, I guess her sex tape partner should get one too.

Rock of Love is Aw(ful)esome

Posted by David L. Williams Categories: Music, Cable, Editorial, Features

As I sit here waiting for the new episode of “Rock of Love” to air, I find myself feeling something I only feel for the rarest of reality shows: sickeningly gleeful anticipation.  What is “Rock of Love,” you ask?  Take it away VH1.com:

Since 1986 when MTV introduced the world to the blue-eyed lead singer of Poison, women around the world have worshiped Bret Michael’s as a veritable Rock God. Never out of the spotlight, Bret’s career is still rocking with Poison and as a successful solo artist and the women are still lining up in hopes of a lying down with the sexy star. But the demands of life-on-the-road for the ultimate rocker have taken a toll…on his love life.

Twenty lucky ladies will get their chance for an All-Access pass to Bret Michaels’ heart and to share in all his superstar lifestyle. Bret will invite twenty handpicked beautiful women to move into his rock and roll palace in the Hollywood Hills and compete for his heart. They must win over his mind and his body by proving their love for Bret, their passion for rock and their potential to be the perfect “Rock Star Girlfriend.”

The show is a crazy train(wreck) not seen on TV since…well, VH1’s “Flavor of Love.”  How, only two episodes in, do I already love the aw(ful)esomeness of this show?  Let me count the ways (spoiler alert: there are three ways):
