Rodman booted from 'Apprentice'

NEW YORK, March 30 (UPI) -- Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has become the latest contestant eliminated from "The Celebrity Apprentice" reality TV series in New York.

Rodman was fired from the show during Sunday's episode, in which the men's team confronted Rodman about his outrageous behavior and apparent addiction to alcohol, NBC said.

In next Sunday's episode, "Apprentice" star and creator Donald Trump switches the teams and it's no longer men vs. women, leaving mother/daughter duo Joan and Melissa Rivers on opposing sides.

"With their new teams in place, the celebrities' next challenge is to write, produce and edit a viral video for ALL Small and Mighty Laundry Detergent with the videos being judged by the ALL executives along with a very special celebrity guest judge Perez Hilton," NBC said in a news release. "Both teams push the boundaries, despite the ALL executives' warnings. Egos clash as a renegade project manager Clint Black shuns his team and goes it alone. Harmony prevails on the other team, but a last-second decision puts their video in jeopardy as they blur the lines of good taste. A heated boardroom (session) concludes with a shocking result, and Trump's decision surprises everyone."
