“Celebrity Apprentice 3″ executive producer and head honcho Donald Trump is claiming that this season’s cast “blows ‘Dancing With the Stars’ away.”

The celeb lineup, announced by NBC Monday (though leaked months ago), features baseball legend Darryl Strawberry, rockers Cyndi Lauper and Bret Michaels, Sharon Osbourne, former Olympians Michael Johnson and Summer Sanders, actress and author Holly Robinson Peete, wrestlers Goldberg and Maria Kanellis, comedians Carol Leifer and Sinbad, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, chef Curtis Stone and model Selita Ebanks.

The stars will compete in teams, men versus women, in business-centric tasks around New York City. All profits from the projects will be donated to charities of their choice.

“Celebrity Apprentice 3″ will premiere March 14 at 9 p.m.

Blagojevich, who had hoped to appear on NBC’s “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here” but was replaced by his wife, Patti, after a federal judge would not let him leave the country, said he plans to use his “skill and know-how to get things accomplished” on the series.

Trump praised Blagojevich’s “tremendous courage and guts” and predicted he may be one of the show’s breakout stars.
