Fans of the series will be licking their lips in anticipation of Rivera, who has earned himself a reputation over the years for being a tough cookie to deal with and totally unafraid of speaking his mind, even on live television career against “the Donald” who is far from being a fading violet himself.

Rivera has been reported to have shown an interest for some time in making an appearance in reality television, although when he was offered a part in “Dancing With The Stars” last autumn, he reportedly turned it down. Now it looks like Gerardo will be be taking up the opportunity to lead Donald Trump and other members of the Trump Dynasty who appear in the show some kind of merry dance of his  own, if reports are correct.

Officially “Celebrity Apprentice” is still a number of weeks away from announcing  who the latest candidates for the apprenticeship are liable  to be, but information is beginning to leak out from Trump Productions of some of the characters will be appearing this season.

Apart from Geraldo Rivera other candidates are reported to be Keshia Knight Pulliam, a former child star who sprang to fame on the Cosby show,  Johnny Weir, the Olympic figure skater, legendary tennis player Martina Navratilova, and David Hasselhoff, who is well-known among adventure series fans as a regular on  Baywatch.
