And the boss's wife will be back as host.
Yes, Julie Chen, plucked from the ranks of the CBS newsroom to be the trophy bride of president Les Moonves, and molded into the beloved shapely Chenbot, will be the only celebrity on this latest edition of BB. After last year's "all star edition" featuring contestants from the past, BB8 will return this summer with a fresh cast of unknowns, in what producers are calling "a new era."
And there's at least one twist in store:
Executive producer Arnold Shapiro is stepping down. He'll keep an "executive consultant" title and hand over the show to his fellow EP Alison Grodner, who took over--and saved--the series with Shapiro in its second season.
Grodner tells Variety: "We consider All-Stars sort of the end of an era, and now we're getting a chance to start once again with a fresh cast and new twists."

Just thinking about BB8 warms my heart on this cold February day. ByeByeBitches, I think it would be awesome if we could get a TVGasm insider into the house as a houseguest. We could come up with a code so the houseguest could send messages to us on the broadcasts.
