As controversy continues to surround Carrie Prejean over semi-nude photos of the beauty queen posing topless in lacy underwear, the future of her Miss California title hangs in the balance.

As the owner of the Miss USA franchise, real estate mogul Donald Trump discussed the photo scandal during a call in to the “On-Air With Ryan Seacrest” morning show on Wednesday. The Donald says he’s taking a look at the assortment of racy shots and he’ll make a final determination on Carrie’s future as a pageant queen later this week.

“They’re sending me the photos now, and we have to make a decision, but from what I’m hearing, they’re not so bad.” He added, “And her body does look good.”

“She’s a beautiful girl,” he continued. “And I’m not sure if, in the end, is this going to help her or hurt her? I think maybe it helps her. I don’t think she realizes that.”

The 21-year-old student signed a contract stating she has never been photographed nude or partially nude when she was crowned Miss California. Pageant organizers will be meeting with runner-up Miss Malibu Tami Farrell in the next few days, suggesting she may soon be taking over the title.

The Donald is back and with him will be 16 new celebrities. Donald Trump has announced the names of his new all-star celebrity cast for the second season of “Celebrity Apprentice” which premieres March 1 on NBC.Celebrity News Service has seen the list of names and the men are Clint Black, Andrew Dice Clay, Tom Green, Scott Hamilton, Jesse James, Brian McKnight, Dennis Rodman, and Herschel Walker. The women include: Annie Duke, Natalie Gulbis, Claudia Jordan, Khloe Kardashian, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Brande Roderick and Tionne Watkins.

All the celebrities will be vying for the coveted title as they fight for their respective causes in the men versus women competition.

“Last season’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ became one of the hottest shows on television — and this season will be even better,” said Trump. “We have an amazing cast of celebrities and we are looking forward to some fantastic entertainment.”

Last season, winner Piers Morgan changed the way the game was played, winning millions for charity. In the second season, the celebrities will compete in business-driven tasks around New York City using their fame, rolodexes and their business acumen to win weekly tasks, while ultimately battling with each other to stay out of the boardroom and avoid hearing those dreaded words “You’re Fired!” They’ll be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny — all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers and personal assistants.
