The new "Celebrity Apprentice" cast has been announced by NBC, and Bret Michaels and Rod Blagojevich are among the competitors battling for charity dollars this time around. Season three of the show premieres Sunday, March 14, and executive producer and multi-millionaire business mogul Donald Trump said this will be the best season of "Celebrity Apprentice" yet.

"The list of celebrities we have this season is outstanding and the show will really resonate with our core viewers and fans," Trump said in an NBC press release for the show.

At the moment, Sharon Osbourne is my bet for winner. She is tough as nails, and although she has had her sweet moments on "America's Got Talent," she can put you in a place in a second. She should have no problem pushing over the bully boys and bratty girls. Plus, America loves Sharon Osbourne!
