Blagojevich To Compete On "Celebrity Apprentice"

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will step back into the limelight as one of 14 participants on the upcoming season of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," the AP reports. The casting could hold particular import for hairstylists nationwide: the famed hairdos of Blagojevich and Donald Trump will occupy TV screens simultaneously.

Contestants compete for charities, and Blagojevich's will be the Children's Cancer Center. Also in the lineup: Cyndi Lauper, Bret Michaels, Sinbad, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, former pro wrestler Goldberg, Olympic gold medal sprinter Michael Johnson, and Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders.
