According to rumors, Bret Michaels, Cyndi Lauper, and Rod Blagovich are set to start filming the newest season of Celebrity Apprentice on Tuesday. The episodes will begin airing in the Spring of 2010. Bret Michaels and Cyndi Lauper (sort of?) make sense, but Rod? Don't most job apps ask if you've ever been arrested? Apparently, the ex-governor has been DYING to get on a reality show: he tried to be on "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here", but was denied travel permission. Cause, you know. He's still awaiting trial for corruption. No big.
