When one door slams shut and has the Secret Service escort you off the premises, another one opens.

Omarosa Manigault Newman, The Apprentice's original villain and President Trump's former director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison, will appear on the upcoming season of Celebrity Big Brother, starting Feb. 7 on CBS. The participants, whose names were announced during Sunday night's Grammy Awards, will be locked up together in a house for two and a half weeks. The show will air for 13 nights, with the first eviction set for Feb. 9.
