What?
When I read on Gymblog that the most famous gymnast of all time, Nadia Comaneci, was going to be facing off against Donald Trump … I couldn’t believe it.
True. The show debuts Jan. 3, 2008.
Cast members for this rejiggered “Apprentice” — which in the past relied on scrappy, ambitious star-wannabes — were selected from a field of some 125 celebrity applicants, Trump told reporters.
“They were all begging to be on the show,” he said. “The hardest thing was breaking it down to these 14.”
One deciding factor: Each of the chosen has had experience in business, Trump said. “These people have all done something very dramatic with money.”

Others include actor Stephen Baldwin, Gene Simmons of Kiss, actor Marilu Henner from TV’s “Taxi”.
The 14 celebrities won’t be vying for a job with Donald Trump, as in the previous six “Apprentice” seasons, but instead will compete in business-oriented tasks around New York City to raise money for their favorite charities. The official “Celebrity Apprentice” will win a $250,000 bonus to donate.
Nadia handled Bela Karoli. She can deal with Donald Trump.
Daddy Bart Conner may be getting more time with their son Dylan while Mom is taping the show.
