A Jackson Sibling and a 'Real Housewife' Join the New 'Celebrity Apprentice'

A Jackson Sibling and a 'Real Housewife' Join the New 'Celebrity Apprentice'

It's nearing the time of year when C-list celebrities try to prove that they're still good at something... even if that something is being Donald Trump's apprentice.

On Thursday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, boss extraordinaire Donald Trump revealed the latest crop of celebrities to compete on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice. So, who made the list of stars who will fear the words "You're fired"?

Joining the ladies team is Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes, who is trying to start a career outside of Housewives now that she may or may not be divorcing her husband. Singers La Toya Jackson and Dionne Warwick, actress and reality show star Lisa Rinna, former supermodel Niki Taylor, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin, former View host Star Jones and Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk round out the female cast.

The men's team features an equally, if not more, eclectic bunch. Survivor winner (and maybe future-jailbird) Richard Hatch will be joined by oddball actor Gary Busey, rapper Lil Jon, singers Meat Loaf, Mark McGrath and John Rich, teen idol David Cassidy and former baseball player/steroid user Jose Canseco.

Some of these names elicit a "who?" reaction (we're looking at you, Hope), while others -- like Meat Loaf -- make us wonder why certain still-famous celebrities want to become fodder for an SNL sketch. Then again, the show helped out Season 9 winner Bret Michaels' career, so maybe these stars are onto something.

The newest season of Celebrity Apprentice premieres March 6 on NBC.

Who do you think will win this season's Celebrity Apprentice? Chime in below!
