In Tune: Upcoming ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Musician Heavy

For the 2011 season of “Celebrity Apprentice,” host Donald Trump has stacked the deck with musicians.

The contestants include Grammy winners Meat Loaf, Dionne Warwick, and Lil Jon, as well as 1970s teen heartthrob and singer David Cassidy, country star John Rich, Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, and Jackson family sibling La Toya Jackson.

The celebrities are vying for a chance to hear “you’re hired” and reward the charity of their choice. Other celebrity notables include actor Gary Busey, baseball star Jose Conseco, and Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin.

Bret Michaels, frontman for the 1980s rock band Poison, won last year’s Celebrity Apprentice. Look for this season’s premier in March.
