The list is in! After months of speculating who would appear in the first U.S. season of Celebrity Big Brother, CBS has revealed its star-studded cast…featuring Omarosa?!

The network revealed during the Grammys who will be trapped in the Big Brother house for two-and-a-half-weeks.

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.

• 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.

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.
