Thanks to the addition of Nene Leakes, the fourth season of Celebrity Apprentice promises to be an interesting one. Scheduled to air on NBC beginning in March, rumors about cast conflicts have already made the celebrity gossip pages and websites.

Leakes, who rose to notoriety on the Bravo network’s reality show Real Housewives of Atlanta, is a controversial personality to begin with. Having been plagued by financial issues, relationship problems, and implications of impropriety regarding her non-profit business, Twisted Hearts Foundation, Leakes brings some complicated baggage to Celebrity Apprentice this year.

It is this complicated life that keep Leakes one of the primary centers of attention on Real Housewives for three seasons. Certainly, some of those fans that enjoyed watching her activities and antics on the Bravo network will find this year’s Celebrity Apprentice Nene Leakes equally entertaining.

Fans of the program enjoy complex cast interactions, and word has it that Leakes is already making waves with not only the program’s management and production crew but with other cast members as well. Anonymous sources have thus far been primary quoted regarding the brewing of tensions on the set, reporting that Leakes does not appear to be taking the competition seriously and that she is irritating other cast members with her lack of respect and dedication.

Sources also indicate that Leakes has been counseled by former contestant Omarosa Stallworth, meaning that she not only brings her own conflict-oriented nature to the show, but has also received guidance from one of the programs other very controversial contestants.

Celebrity Apprentice’s cast this year contains a number of individuals with whom Leakes could potentially knock heads, but thus far, sources indicate that the primary conflict brewing is between Leakes and former View panelist Star Jones.

In fact, stories hitting the gossip web in mid-February tell of Leaks and Jones actually coming to physical blows, and not just bantering back and forth with one another. This is the kind of thing that makes reality television viewers long for more, and odds are that the rating of this year’s Celebrity Apprentice will go up just because of Leake’s contribution to the cast dynamic.

The same controversial nature that made Nene Leakes such a hit with Bravo viewers will likely make her a hit on NBC as well. Her attitude and actions aren’t winning her any points with Donald Trump, however.

Trump, Celebrity Apprentice’s creator and cast mentor, is reported to believe the actions of both Jones and Leakes as being inappropriate. Sources state that Trump is not keen on the idea of airing such conflict on the show, but even the decision is made not to include the footage, the press has already picked up the story, and the conflict between these two cast members will likely be ratings-boosting for the show.

According to the celebrity gossip sites, Star Jones and Nene Leakes aren’t just acting for the sake of the show or the other cast members. These two women apparently really dislike one another. Even if they are able to restrain themselves while on camera, the tension the relationship promises to bring to the season will ensure fans will have an interesting and entertaining experience.
