Donald Trump's youngest son Eric will join siblings Ivanka & Donald Jr. as his advisors, along with long-time Trump worker George Ross.
�The next season of �The Celebrity Apprentice� will be the most thrilling yet. They are thrilled to bring back the celebrity format with 16 new & unbelievably gifted celebrities who will help me make �The Celebrity Apprentice� one of the hottest shows on tv this spring. This will be season 11 � Amazing!�
The Donald did his best to hype up the new season in a press release:
The Donald also revealed that viewers can expect fireworks between Leakes & Star Jones. "It was like fistfights on a regular basis," Trump told Fallon."I've never seen confrontations like that. In fact, they make Omarosa look lovely!"
While the list of celebrities participating was leaked back in October, Trump officially unveiled the cast on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," joined by Lil Jon & NeNe Leakes. The trio, along with Fallon, proceeded to play a game of Charades with predictably hilarious results. The clip can be viewed here.
"Star, to me, is phony," Leakes recently told zap2it.com. "She may have gone to Harvard. They may have ten degrees, but it is comic she is in the same place I am in. & that is what bothers Star - that they went to school for four or ten years & they has to stand beside me."
The controversial "Real Housewives" star claims that her hate for Jones started when they tried to pit cast member LaToya Jackson against her.
"(The Lohans) approached me, & they did discuss it. It is not the right time," Trump told Life & Style journal. "Lindsay has to straighten herself out first.... It could happen in the future, but right now they must see Lindsay get straightened out."
While the celebs participating stay mostly D-List, Trump claims they had to turn down upwards of 35 people, including troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan.
The last season of the show raised over $1.25 million for charity & was won by Bret Michaels, while the low-rated regular people version of "The Apprentice" concluded in December.
