Just a month after her rocky White House exit, former Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman will be joining the cast of CBS’ debut season of “Celebrity Big Brother,” the network announced Sunday. Omarosa resigned from the Trump administration in December. Now it looks like she's going from the White House to the “Big Brother” house.

Along with a houseful of "celebs" no one has ever heard of or cares about. http://www.cbs.com/shows/celebrity-big-brother/
Vote her off the island.....................
This is going to be good. I was going to watch anyway so this news just makes it that much more exciting. Fireworks are going to fly.
That seems like a big comedown, if you ask me.
Omarosa is an engaging public speaker, and a compelling personality, but I’m still not sure there is a big market to hear her speak as who she is. I can see that she’s a difficult person who takes pride in being difficult and requiring greater care than the average person.
Diva’s gotta Diva.
I was actually impressed with how she behaved in the Trump campaign. She was firm and polite when countered (as on The View), vs. the Hellion persona she once seemed to flaunt. Maybe she just goes with whatever pays the bills at the time.
For this ‘gig’, she’s being hired for her flamboyant, stir-up-trouble propensity (I was watching The Apprentice when she was on way back when & she’s a ‘master’ at it) and I’m sure she’ll deliver.
Her behavior while on the campaign surprised me - I figured maybe she’d turned a corner with who she was marrying & her ‘ministry’, but after she was ‘fired’ from the WH job, I’m thinking a leopard doesn’t really change its spots. Then again, she may take on a “preacher” persona ... guaranteed to drive the other celebs crazy.
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omarosa_Manigault :
In August 2009, Manigault enrolled at the United Theological Seminary in Ohio to pursue a Doctor of Ministry degree.[52] She received a preacher’s license in February 2011 from her church (Weller Street Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, California) and was formally ordained on February 27, 2012.[53] In February 2012, she was working on finishing her degree at Payne Theological Seminary.[53] Manigault said on Oprah: Where Are They Now? that she is an ordained Baptist minister.
Manigault married John Allen Newman on April 8, 2017, at Trump’s Washington, DC, hotel, in the Presidential Ballroom of the Old Post Office Pavilion.[60] Newman is the Senior Pastor of The Sanctuary at Mt. Calvary, a church in Jacksonville, Florida.
Don’t even know who 8 or 9 out of the 12 celebs are.
But, then, I don’t watch TMZ or E!
Another reason to NOT watch that insipid show.
In Democrat administrations, there are fixers who deal with these people to keep them on the reservation. Get them a good gig somewhere, let them know to keep their mouth shut and they will do well. Republicans should play that way.
