Julie Chen MOONVES To Host 'Celebrity Big Brother' Following Husband’s Sexual Misconduct Scandal!

Julie Chen *Moonves* may have exited The Talk due to her husband’s sexual misconduct scandal, but it’s gonna take a lot more than that to keep her away from the Big Brother house.
On Tuesday, CBS announced the Chenbot will be hosting the second installment of the U.S. Celebrity Big Brother when the season airs on January 21.
This is the biggest news from Chen Moonves since September, when she announced she was leaving the CBS daytime talk show that she helped to launch in the wake of her husband Leslie Moonves’ ousting as chairman of the network.

Big Brother’s longtime host started signing off with her married name toward the end of last season, making it clear that she was standing by her husband, who was forced to resign after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and harassment.
She then permanently signed off from The Talk in a teary goodbye video, telling viewers she needed “to spend more time at home with my husband and young son.”
We guess enough time was spent.
Chen Moonves will be back hosting Celebrity Big Brother multiple nights each week for three weeks, with the two-hour finale on February 13 — and she. Is. Ready for it:
