The famous contestants on Celebrity Big Brother will be:

  • Omarosa Manigault: The two-time Apprentice contestant and Donald Trump aide is trading the White House for the Big Brother house.
  • Mark McGrath: The Sugar Ray frontman is no stranger to reality TV. He also appeared on Celebrity Apprentice, Celebrity Wife Swap, and served as a guest judge on American Idol prior to coming to the Big Brother house.
  • Shannon Elizabeth: The American Pie actress has also appeared on Dancing with the Stars.
  • Metta World Peace: The former Ron Artest won NBA Defensive Player of the Year honors as well as an NBA title.
  • Brandi Glanville: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum also appeared on Celebrity Apprentice when not feuding with the other Housewives.
  • James Maslow: The Big Time Rush star also won fourth place on season 18 of Dancing with the Stars.
  • Keshia Knight Pulliam: Rudy Huxtable will once again be gracing the television screen after a brief stint on Celebrity Apprentice.
  • Marissa Janet Winokur: The Hairspray Broadway star will have an instant friend in the Big Brother house, appearing on the same season of Dancing with the Stars as Shannon Elizabeth.

  • Ross Matthews: The former Tonight Show intern is a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race.

Celebrity Big Brother premieres Feb. 7 on CBS and will conclude Feb. 25.

The 13 episode season has been condensed into two and a half weeks. Although this sounds perfect in the era of binge-watching and streaming, it means that the entire season will be competing against live coverage of the Winter Olympics.
