NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Singer Cyndi Lauper and professional baseball star Darryl Strawberry will be among the contestants on the next season of "The Celebrity Apprentice," NBC said.

The network and the business-themed competition show's star and executive producer Donald Trump announced the lineup for the third season of the series Monday.

Also slated to compete on the show are Bret Michaels, Bill Goldberg, Michael Johnson, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Sinbad, Curtis Stone, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Selita Ebanks, Maria Kanellis, Carol Leifer and Summer Sanders.

The new season is to debut March 14.

"Over the course of the celebrity seasons, over $3.5 million has been donated to charities worldwide in addition to money raised from the awareness and exposure on the show," NBC said in a release. "Now 14 new celebrities will rise to the challenge. Once again it will be men versus women. All the celebrities will be vying for the coveted title as they fight for their respective causes close to their hearts."

"This season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is going to be fantastic. The list of celebrities we have this season is outstanding and the show will really resonate with our core viewers and fans," Trump said in a statement. "I expect this season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' to be the best one yet."
