It’s finally official that “Celebrity Apprentice 2″ will hold it’s premiere on March 1st. They’ve also announced that they’ll be having 2 hour episodes of the show similar to what NBC was doing with Biggest Loser. Seems like a good strategy to get the most bang for their buck.

The official cast list of Celebrity Apprentice 2 hasn’t been released by NBC, but here’s what’s been leaked:
Country singer Clint Black
Comedian Tom Green
Monster Garage star Jesse James
Professional poker player Annie Duke
Deal or No Deal briefcase model Claudia Jordan
Comedian Andrew Dice Clay
TLC member “T-Boz” Watkins
Retired NFL player Herschel Walker
R&B singer Brian McKnight
LPGA golfer Natalie Gulbis
Figure skater Scott Hamilton
Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian
Comedian Joan Rivers
Joan River’s daughter Melissa Rivers
Playmate and “Surreal Life” star Brande Roderick
Former NBA player Dennis Rodman

Of all the people on the list, I’m most looking forward to Dennis Rodman on the show. If he doesn’t hook up with the model, the playmate or Khloe Kardashian I’ll be really surprised. However, regardless he’ll offer some interesting television.

I must admit that I’ve been completely captivated with Celebrity Apprentice. Piers is such a great person for that show. Today when they switched the teams I was torn though. I was completely torn that Trace Adkins was no longer with Piers. I want them both to make it to the end.

I also think that it’s a complete cop out that Trump didn’t fire someone. I wonder if the writer’s strike played into it since NBC needed more shows and Celebrity Apprentice has been some good entertainment. However, Trump could have easily stepped up to the plate and kicked Baldwin off for past performance. Don’t give me this crap about not having reason to kick anyone off.

Who will be kicked off next week? Should be interesting.

Tonight we have a good line up of shows which should be a pretty entertaining evening for my wife and I. I think we’re going to go and get an order of this really authentic Napoli style pizza at a restaurant called Settebello and then watch some shows. Some people might think that’s kind of lame, but we’re excited. Plus, tomorrow we’re going to the temple.

Check out what I gave my wife for Valentine’s day.
