Filming of the new series of the American reality programme is due to start in New York next week. The show sees a group of famous faces compete in a series of challenges set by business magnate Donald Trump in an effort to raise money for charity.

Although no official announcement about the contestants has been made yet, EW.com is reporting La Toya will be one of the stars taking part. The 54-year-old is the sister of late pop icon Michael Jackson, and has appeared on reality television in the past. In 2007, she trained to become a reserve police officer for the Muncie, Indiana department in Armed & Famous, and she took part in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother in 2009.

Singer Mark McGrath and TV host Star Jones will also be vying for the Celebrity Apprentice crown, which was taken home by Poison rocker Bret Michaels in the last series.

Jones, Jackson, and McGrath will be three of the contestants on the fourth instalment of Celebrity Apprentice, which will air in the first quarter of 2011, reports the website. Expect more names to leak soon once the cast arrives in New York City in the next few days. (C) Cover Media
