Several episodes have already been taped earlier this year, and Trump said that Joan Rivers will be appearing in two episodes this season. He also revealed that they considered dropping her scenes following her death but decided to include them in the end.
"She was fantastic," said Trump. "We decided, in memoriam, we're going to do something and honor her during those two shows. She was so good, and I think she would have liked it that way."
Meanwhile, some of the cast members are already gearing up for the inevitable confrontations that could happen on the show. In an interview with Us Weekly, Glanville said, "I'm just trying to take it all in. You can tell right away who wants to be heard and stand out."
The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star said, "I'm kind of weeding out who is the biggest narcissist of the group." When asked who among her cast mates is the "biggest narcissist," she laughingly says, "Kenya."
"We might have to put boxing gloves on. Actually, she would kick my [expletive] for sure. I'm not scared of anyone, but physically, she'd probably take me out," Glanville admitted.
"Celebrity Apprentice" Season 7 will premiere on Jan. 4, 2015 at 9/8c on NBC.
