"Dancing With the Stars" pro Kym Johnson is heading to the boardroom Down Under to take part in "Celebrity Apprentice" in her native Australia. The ballroom beauty will go head to head with 13 other stars in business-centered challenges in a version of Donald Trump's hit reality show, where celebrities play to raise money for their favorite charities.
