Live long and prosper — on “Celebrity Apprentice”?
Former “Star Trek” star George “Sulu” Takei gives our photographer the famous Vulcan sign yesterday while entering the Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle — where he’s rumored to be part of the new cast of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”
The network will officially unveil the new cast at a press conference this morning at Jack Studios on 26th Street.
Also entering the hotel yesterday were former late-night talk show host Arsenio Hall, former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider and “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice.
They’re reportedly set to appear on the veteran reality show, along with Victoria Gotti, Cheryl Tiegs and race-car driver Marco Andretti.
The upcoming season of “Celebrity Apprentice,” which will air next spring, is scheduled to begin filming in New York next week.
Takei, 74, is a busy, versatile voice-over actor who also appears regularly on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM Radio show.
Hall, 55, who hosted the syndicated “Arsenio Hall Show” from 1989-94, has kept up a steady stream of TV appearances ever since, including spots on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” and a stint hosting “The World’s Funniest Moments.”
Singer John Rich won last season’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” which aired last spring and was hosted, as always, by Donald Trump.
