NEW YORK - The new cast of 2012 Celebrity Apprentice has been revealed.

Penn Jillette, Adam Corolla and Aubrey O'Day talked to reporters on a conference call and the running gag was fellow contestant Clay Aiken.

Corolla joked that by the fifth episode, Aiken had announced he was straight. O'Day chimed in by saying she made out with Aiken in the finale, which promoted Corolla to say he slept with "a couple of Claymates."

Jillette told reporters, "here's a sentence that I thought I would never say: `I spent most of my time working with Clay Aiken."'

Cast members include Teresa Guidice, Lisa Lampanelli, former Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza, rock star Dee Snider and "American Chopper" star Paul Teutul Sr. and comedian Arsenio Hall

The new season of "Celebrity Apprentice" starts February 12th.
