"Survivor" Winner Richard Hatch Gets "Celebrity Apprentice." Will He Win?

Some Interesting Names

"Survivor" winner Richard Hatch will appear on "Celebrity Apprentice," to premiere in March, as reported at Yahoo OMG!. Donald Trump's reality show enters its 11th season and returns to the celebrity format after a regular version for its 10th season.

Says Donald Trump about the 11th season, "We have some very, very big stars, some very powerful stars and some very, very smart people." Is he right? Says Trump,"You're not going to win "Apprentice" unless you're really smart."

One of the people who displayed intelligence on a reality show is "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch. It's true that the 49-year-old Hatch has not shown smarts when it comes to taxes. For failing to file taxes, he was sent to prison and was released in 2009. Now, he may return to prison for failing to refile his tax returns, as reported at Contact Music.

But despite all that, Hatch is arguable one of the smartest players that "Survivor" has ever seen. It's that type of mind that can win at "Celebrity Apprentice."

Who are the other contestants? David Cassidy, the former teen heartthrob who is now 60-years-old, will appear. The last we heard from Cassidy is his drunk driving arrest. "Celebrity Apprentice" will certainly be a good vehicle for him.

We've also got Star Jones, formerly of "The View." Like many celebrities who appear on "Celebrity Apprentice," she, too, has had both personal and professional turmoil. She's no longer on "The View," her marriage to Al Reynolds ended and so did her show, 'The Star Jones Show.'"

Other stars joining Star Jones and Richard Hatch on "Celebrity Apprentice" include Michael Jackson's sister La Toya, Nene Leakes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," model Niki Taylor, actress Marlee Matlin, singer Meat Loaf, rapper Lil Jon, singer Dionne Warwick and actor Gary Busey.

In addition to these stars, you can always count on Trump to feature a beautiful woman. This year it's in the form of Playboy Playmate Hope Dworaczyk. Trump also always features sports stars on his show. This time it's baseball player Jose Canseco. Actress Lisa Rinna is joining the cast, as well as country singer John Rich. Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath will also appear.
