New โ€˜Big Brotherโ€™ Cast Shares Their Strengths Ahead of Season 27 Premiere

8 July 2025 at 09:00

Big Brother is back for season 27 โ€” and thereโ€™s a mystery player involved.

CBS Announced on Tuesday, July 8, that 16 new Houseguests would be checking into the Hotel Mystรจre later this week. The 90-minute premiere on Thursday, July 10, will introduce viewers to a brand-new house, which is โ€œdefinitely shapedโ€ from the success of last yearโ€™s first-ever BB AI arena.

โ€œIt was so successful last summer, that we are bringing it back this season,โ€ the showโ€™s host, Julie Chen Moonves, told Us Weekly exclusively. โ€œBut itโ€™s called the BB Blockbuster.โ€

This seasonโ€™s Houseguests include an aura painter, dungeon master and professional bull rider. Some of these newcomers teased to Us exclusively what they will be bringing to the Big Brother House.

Julie Chen Moonves โ€˜Never Expectedโ€™ Mystery โ€˜Big Brother 27โ€™ Player

โ€œI hope people can see that I have this fun-loving personality, and I want to use that to my advantage,โ€ 25-year-old Jimmy Heagerty told Us. โ€œAt the end of the day, Iโ€™m also a strategist at my core.โ€

Vince Panaro, a 34-year-old player, shared that heโ€™s bringing โ€œa genuine personaโ€ and empathy to Big Brother for season 27.

โ€œI want to have fun. I want to have an incredible summer. I want to have the best summer of my life,โ€ he continued. โ€œI want to win money. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m really here, Iโ€™m unemployed. I need to win money.โ€

โ€˜Big Brotherโ€™ Winners: Where Are They Now? Dan, Derrick, Dr. Will and More

The 23-year-old Adrian Rocha told Us heโ€™s looking to come out of his Big Brother experience as โ€œthe greatest of all times.โ€

Sami Sheen Talked โ€˜Toxicโ€™ Relationships 1 Day Before Denise Richards Divorce

8 July 2025 at 08:37

Denise Richardsโ€™ daughter Sami Sheen dished out advice on dealing with toxic relationships โ€” one day before her stepdad, Aaron Phypers, filed for divorce from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.

โ€œIf youโ€™re dating someone toxic, but you donโ€™t really know if theyโ€™re toxic, deep down you know but youโ€™re like, โ€˜Is it that bad? I can look past this. Well heโ€™s so good to me some days but then other days he treats me like s***,โ€™โ€ Sheen, 21, said in a Sunday, July 6, TikTok. โ€œYou need to ask yourself, if you had a daughter and she was dating a man like this, what would you tell her?โ€

She continued, โ€œAnd then, boom. Youโ€™re like, โ€˜OK, I would tell her to breakup with him, block him, move on, like heโ€™s a piece of s***, treats her like s***.โ€™ I donโ€™t know, that works for me because sometimes itโ€™s so easy for me to overlook everything. But if Iโ€™m imagining having a kid and sheโ€™s getting treated like this, absolutely the f*** not.โ€

Sheen noted that sheโ€™s a โ€œmotherly personโ€ who has a desire to have children, so this mindset works for her โ€” however, she encourages others to envision having a friend or mother in this scenario.

โ™ฌ original sound โ€“ sami sheen

โ€œPicturing someone else in your exact situation, and if they came to you being like, โ€˜Hey, my boyfriend is doing x, y and z to me, I need your advice.โ€™ You need to tell them what to do and then thereโ€™s your answer,โ€ she said.

She continued, โ€œI understand more than anyone it is so hard and almost feels impossible sometimes to get out of a toxic relationship and the judgement from people when you keep going back to that person. Itโ€™s a whole cycle. So I understand itโ€™s not easy but this is just a tip to kind of help you have a clear head a little bit.โ€

Denise Richards Said She Never Wanted to Get Divorced Months Before Split

Sheen wrote over the video, โ€œMy advice on how to remove the rose colored glasses in a toxic relationship.โ€ She captioned the clip with a single red heart emoji.

One day after Sheen posted the TikTok, Phypers filed for divorce from Richards and listed the pairโ€™s date of separation as Friday, July 4. In court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, July 7, Phypers cited โ€œirreconcilable differencesโ€ as the reason for their split.

While Phypers noted that he and Richards do not share any minor children, he listed daughter Eloise as his stepchild in the court docs. (Richards adopted Eloise in 2011.)

Us Weekly has reached out to Phypers and Richards for comment.

Richards was previously married to Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006. The exes are parents to daughters Sami and Lola, 20.
