When you have Type A personalities like Sharon Osbourne, Donald Trump, Bret Michaels and Rod Blagojevich in the same room, look out.

Rumor has it that the premise of the Celebrity Apprentice was to help raise money for charities by having the contestants perform business- like tasks. According to the Blind Gossip website, one contestant, a male, is using the NBC show as a platform for these "has-beens to quarrel for the five minutes of camera time they desperately seek."

On Blind Gossip: "Desperate for a comeback, he is determined to be the most talked-about celeb on the show. He will be, too, if the producers choose to air an incident where he steals something of value from another contestant. He planned on hocking it at a pawn shop to gain more money for his team, but the producers put a kibosh on that at the last second. So now he’s decided to antagonize one person each week until one of them reaches the breaking point and takes a swing at him."

Take a guess and talk back below if you know who it is.

Problems are brewing in the men’s and women’s teams on “The Celebrity Apprentice”! Get a preview of the new episode airing this Sunday, March 21, at 9/8c.
