JOE Francis will not be joining Joan Rivers and gorgeous golfer Natalie Gulbis on “Celebrity Apprentice.” Though Donald Trump wanted the “Girls Gone Wild” man on the show, NBC brass allegedly encountered resistance from spon sors and vetoed Francis, who spent 10 months in prison after being accused of using under age girls in his raunchy videos.

Francis told Page Six: “Donald Trump and I decided to do a different show. I would have added a lot to ‘Celebrity Ap prentice,’ and I would have been excited to do it, but I’m more excited by this other idea.”
