The Queen of Mean will be battling it out with an actual beauty queen on this upcoming season of The Celebrity Apprentice.

 

Donald Trump has brought out the big guns this season, in what is guaranteed to be a very drama-filled cast. How can you not expect a blowout, table-flipping (better nail down those tables in the board room) argument between "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and author and daughter of crime boss John Gotti, Victoria Gotti?

 

Besides the drama, Trump has also brought the beauty, laughs and singing this season as they all compete to win $250,000 for their charities. Rounding out the women's team are comedian Lisa Lampanelli, pop stars Debbie Gibson, Aubrey O'Day and Tia Carrere, models Cheryl Tiegs, Patricia Velasquez and former Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza (uh oh, Melania better keep a close eye on Donald).

 

The men's team may bring a whole new audience to the show...Trekies. George Takei, of "Star Trek" fame, will be battling it out along with "American Idol" Season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken, "The Incredible Hulk" himself, Lou Ferrigno, famed magician Penn Jillette, Paul Teutul, Sr. of "American Chopper," comedians Arsenio Hall and Adam Carolla, race car driver Michael Andretti and legendary rocker Dee Snider.

 

Here's a look back at last season and we can only hope it's even better this season:

 

 

What do you all think? Who do you think will win it all this season? Who are you excited to see?
