The show's official cast is as follows:

* Comedian/writer Carol Leifer
* Comedian/actor Sinbad
* WWE wrestler Maria Kanellis
* Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich
* Ozzy Osbourne's wife/manager Sharon Osbourne
* Track and field Olympian Michael Johnson

Bret Michaels declared that, with a party-hearty rock singer's image, he would be assessed as the season's "super-underdog. But I've been my own boss since I've been 19 years old," the 46-year-old star of the "Rock Of Love" reality show told the Associated Press. "For better or worse, I've been on my own, I've learned to roll with the punches."

Michaels was seen selling hamburgers to passers-by for $100 or more a piece on October 19, 2009 at 9 E. 53rd St. in New York City as part of his appearance on "The Celebrity Apprentice".

The celebrities compete in business-driven tasks around New York City using their fame, rolodexes and their business acumen to win weekly tasks, while ultimately battling with each other to stay out of the boardroom and avoid hearing those dreaded words "You're Fired!" They are subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny — all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers and personal assistants.
