00:00Omarosa Manigault is headed from the White House to the Big Brother house.
00:04The new cast of CBS's celebrity Big Brother was revealed Sunday night during the Grammy Awards,
00:09and Omarosa is arguably the biggest name coming to the reality spinoff.
00:13As you might recall, Omarosa left the White House under dramatic circumstances at the tail end of last year.
00:19Known for her appearances on NBC's The Apprentice and as one of President Donald Trump's most prominent African American supporters,
00:26she joined the Trump administration as the Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison.
00:31But in late December, Omarosa exited the White House under something of a cloud.
00:35And it was widely reported that she was fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
00:40She officially left her post on January 20th.
00:42So who else is moving into the Big Brother house this week?
00:45As reported by THR's resident Big Brother expert Brian Perica,
00:49the rest of the celebrity Big Brother cast includes American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth,
00:54Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, The Cosby Show's Keisha Knight Pulliam,
00:58Real Housewife Brandi Glanville, former NBA star Metta World Peace,
01:02UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell,
01:05actors James Maslow and Marissa Winokur, TV personality Ross Matthews,
01:10and Miss Columbia 2015 Ariadna Gutierrez.
01:13Celebrity Big Brother will air for 13 nights and will serve as counter-programming to the Winter Olympics.
01:19Now, the spinoff of the CBS summer flagship show will still include Big Brother's signature head of household
01:24and power of veto competitions and live evictions.
01:27In addition, CBS All Access will be inviting viewers inside the house for an uncensored look at its cast with a 24-7 live feed.
01:34And given the crop of stars, especially Omarosa, the live feed element will likely generate some newsworthy moments throughout its run,
01:41namely a bunch of chatter and possibly revealing details about the president.
01:45Each cast member will be competing to make it to the end of the game and win the $250,000 grand prize.
01:51Celebrity Big Brother premieres on February 7th and will run until February 25th.
01:56The first two-hour live eviction where one of the cast members will get voted out of the house will air on February 9th.
