There are 11 celebrities participating in the first-ever Celebrity Big Brother. The youngest celebs are two gorgeous people: American singer/actor James Maslow, 27, actor (Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush) and Miss Colombia 2015 Ariadna Gutierrez. She’s 24 and has the bikini-ready abs to prove it. When not promoting her sunglasses or acting projects like Vin Diesel’s film xXx: Return of Xander Cage (as Lola), Ariadna or “Ari” likes to spend time with her family. She says “not having direct contact with my family, especially with my father” will be the most difficult part of living inside the Big Brother house.
Before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, Ari spent quality time with her father, “the love of my life,” who is being treated for a disease. In August Ari wrote (translated from Spanish): “Daddy…we are all with you in this new stage that has just begun but with the help of God it will end in a positive way.” She asks her fans for prayers and she asks for “prudence in this difficult stage that reaches our family.” In October, she posted a photo of her with her father in his hospital bed. On Christmas Eve, Ari and her (now bald) papi wore matching Christmas pajamas (see cute photo below). Big Brother Celebrity Edition debuts with a three-night premiere beginning Wednesday, February 7, at 8pm on CBS. A two-hour live eviction show will air Friday, February 9 at 8pm.
