Lots of rumours but often they are not true. The biggest one is Katie Price, who's done just about every other reality show, so why not BB?
Another name is Rylan Clark, from this year's X-Factor - he has ties to Katie from another reality show of hers, so I could see them wanting them both there together.
Others mentioned:
Meatloaf
John Prescott
Heidi Montag
Spencer Pratt (please no!)
Katrina Darling (Kate Middleton's cousin, who's a stripper)

I bet Heidi and Spencer will be there because I don't think I have heard either of their names in a couple years. It must be killing them that they aren't in the spotlight anymore. So I think they would jump at this chance.
At least it's not outside in the woods so they can be crybabies and quit after a few days like they did on "I'm a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here" US version.

Heidi and Spencer would be horrific. Actually Spencer would be horrific, I have a bit of a soft spot for Heidi when she's not with him.
CELEBRITY Big Brother bosses have a chilly surprise for the stars going into the new show after Christmas – an igloo. We can reveal the Big Brother house has been transformed into a Swedish ice hotel. And in the garden will be a real igloo made of ice blocks.
Channel 5 producers are hoping the snug little eskimo house, containing fur rugs and blankets, will provide the perfect place for frisky stars to snuggle up. A source said: “This is a first for us. We’ve never had an igloo before. “If a couple of celebrities get steamy in there, they just might melt the ice.”
On launch night they will discover the Big Brother house has been turned into a winter wonderland. Icicles will hang down both inside and outside the building. Seating areas will be covered with fur rugs. And the diary room can only be entered by going through an arch of ice blocks. The kitchen will have a real Scandinavian feel with wooden furnishings and a brown and yellow colour scheme. In addition, the garden will include silver birch trees and a grand mural of the Northern Lights.
As well as the igloo, there will be a hot tub and swimming pool for the stars to frolic in. As always, there will be no hiding place so viewers can be assured that any saucy antics will be caught on film.

Six days!
There are photos of the house at the official websites (and videos, but they're region encoded and don't play for me)

They say how much they change it each time but to be honest it mostly looks the same to me, the bathroom is pretty different but that's all I notice.

I have never watched the UK version. Is it televised in the US or Canada?

Nope, you have to find it online. It is often posted on youtube within a few hours of airing, but you can find it streaming live at places like ustream. This one coming up is the celebrity version (don't get too excited, they're usually D-list celebrities!) and usually runs about three weeks, the long main one is in the summer.

LOL, they haven't even confirmed who's in the house and they're already taking bets on who will win! (And who will lose - ouchies for Heidi and Spencer!!!)
List of suspected housemates (and how popular they are) at this link:

Tomorrow!!
Another article on possibles... also says why they are famous, and as few of them are actually famous beyond the UK (and some of them aren't particularly famous in the UK) might be an interesting background read.

Live TV schedule (for those with streaming). Times are board time (Pacific) (and subject to change, etc. etc.).
For the uninitiated Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) is the main highlights show (an hour show giving the highlights of the previous day (e.g. Monday's show gives Sunday's highlights)), Bit on the Side (or BOTS) is a companion show talking about what you've just seen in the highlights show and also often gives a few snippets of what happened that actual day.
Thu 3 1-3pm CBB: Launch
Thu 3 3-4pm BOTS
Fri 4 1-2pm CBB
Fri 4 2-2.30pm Live from the House
Fri 4 3.30-4.15pm BOTS
Sat 5 1.45-2.45pm CBB
Sat 5 2.45-3.45pm BOTS
Sun 6 1-2pm CBB
Sun 6 2-3pm BOTS
Mon 7 1-2pm CBB
Mon 7 3-4pm BOTS
Tue 8 2-3pm CBB
Tue 8 3-4pm BOTS
Wed 9 1-2.30pm CBB: Eviction
Wed 9 2.30-3.30pm BOTS
Thu 10 1-2pm CBB
Thu 10 2-3pm Live from the House
Thu 10 3-4pm BOTS
Fri 11 1-2pm CBB: Eviction
Fri 11 3-4pm BOTS
I'd guess the Thursday Live feed is a task as it's an hour long. Doesn't look (at the moment) like there's a live feed after the Wednesday or Friday evictions but that might change.

Well looks like they're going to split the HM into haves and havenots, at least at first- here's some info on a "Basement" area...
http://www.bbspy.co.uk/cbb11/news/0103/celebrity-big-brother-2013-house-the-basement-twist-revealed-housemates
(and actually, that wouldn't look out of place here in the US as a HN room- it'd just have to be a little bit smaller)

That's where Heidi and Spencer should go!
They're usually a bit more... kind to celebrities, this isn't going to make it any easier for them to get good ones in future seasons!

Kitt- I wouldn't be shocked if they try to put one of them on each side just to mess with them both (if Heidi goes to the poor side, it'll be hilarious)..

I'd love it if they did it the other way round, put Spencer in there, oh, and if they forgot to film that area that'd be fine with me too.
I'm never too excited when a season starts, I always think all those hours of tv I'll "have" (oh woe is me ;)) to watch! But hopefully this will get lively quickly. I'm going to try to find a live feed and assuming I can I will spoil the list of who's going in... right now though I haven't found one, the usual suspect seems to have gone underground.

There were rumours that Jim Davidson - a comedian who was big in the 80s/90s then had some issues (alcohol?) and has just popped up here and there since - was to be in the house. Yesterday he was arrested in connection to the Jimmy Saville scandal so I guess he's one to definitely count OUT of being in the house!

That is so weird looking. I can't even call it pretty, just weird.
I just set my timer to warn me when it's time to tune in live. There's about 2 hours and 15 minutes until show time.

The chair looks really uncomfortable!
I'll probably watch some evictions live but I've given up watching the dailies live, too frustrating with the streams and too time consuming in the afternoon. Plus everything is on youtube so quickly these days.
Here are some twitter links for this season (mostly the same as last season!):
https://twitter.com/bbuk official twitter
https://twitter.com/BBUKLive live updates from about 8am to bed time, UK time
https://twitter.com/bbbots for Bit On The Side (mostly boring)

https://twitter.com/Emma_Willis Emma Willis'
https://twitter.com/Ermmmmmmm provides useful BB links

It's on now and I just wanted to comment that the new basement looks like something from a horror movie! This will be fun.
