Back in the board room

The cast of NBC's season seven of The Apprentice, which will be a celebrity edition, was announced Monday, even though the media had knowledge of the cast last month and was sworn to secrecy.

So NBC controls the media now? If the contestants are out in New York and someone sees them, too bad--secret blown--big deal.

Participating in the new season are: country singer Trace Adkins, model/actress Carol Alt, actor Stephen Baldwin, Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci, Playmate Tiffany Fallon, Olympic softball player Jennie Finch, producer Nely Galan, actor Marilu Henner, boxer Lennox Lewis, Apprentice contestant Omarosa, America’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan, UFC fighter Tito Ortiz, actor Vincent Pastore and Kiss singer Gene Simmons.

...WHO?!

The Donald said 125 celebrities were vying for a spot on the show and he had a difficult time whittling it down to 14. It makes you wonder who the other 111 scrubs were that didn't make the cut.
