LOS ANGELES - After getting fired by Donald Trump on "The Celebrity Apprentice," country singer Trace Adkins is turning to the make-believe world of daytime television.

Adkins will sing his latest hit, "You`re Gonna Miss This," from his CD "American Man, Greatest Hits Vol. II" on the May 2 episode of CBS` "The Young and the Restless."

"It was a blast," Adkins told The Associated Press after taping the show Wednesday. "I`ve not recently watched the show. My first wife was really into it. That`s not what caused us to get divorced."

The thrice-married Adkins plays someone other than himself in "Trailer Park of Terror," to be shown this month at the Nashville Film Festival. He also just finished shooting a part in the independent Christmas comedy "American Carol," opposite Kelsey Grammar.

"I`d like to do some more of the acting stuff," he said. "I`m at a point in my life and my career — I`m at such a beautiful place — if something doesn`t sound like fun to me I probably won`t do it. It`s a luxury to pick and choose the projects you want to be part of."

Adkins lost out to former British tabloid editor Piers Morgan on NBC`s reality show. He sold more tickets to a charity event during the final task, but Morgan raised the most money.

"I had the popular vote and Piers had the money. It was Trump`s decision and he placed more importance on the money," he said. "I wasn`t disappointed at all. I`m getting recognized a lot more these days. I`ve had a few people that have told me they`ve started listening to country music because of my appearance on that show."

Adkins has three nominations for the Country Music Television awards in Nashville on Monday night.
