POISON's BRETT MICHAELS and SHARON OSBOURNE are among the stars who will compete for DONALD TRUMP's approval as the new Celebrity Apprentice.  Contestants for the new season have been announced, and Brett Michaels -- who has another reality show, Rock Of Love on his resume -- is ready for the challenge.

Brett said quote, ""I think for me it's a chance to show maybe another side to me.... I love making music and after 22 years of getting to do what I love I think somewhere along the line I've figured something out. I can't say it was from school learning but maybe some street smarts."

OZZY OSBOURNE's wife SHARON also is no stranger to a reality TV, but she has an unusual task cut out for her in the upcoming Celebrity Apprentice season.  Rather than vying for a job with The Donald, the celebrities, which include former Illinois Gov. ROD BLAGOJEVICH and baseball legend DARRYL STRAWBERRY, will compete in business-oriented tasks around Manhattan to raise money for their favorite charities.
