Okay, Big Brother fans. It's time to add BB8 to your summer calendars! Here's what you need to know:

• The season will premiere on July 5 on CBS.
• One-hour episodes will air Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
• Full-length episodes wll be available on CBS.com after they air on the network.
• As always, you can get 24/7 feeds at www.real.com/bigbrother -- if you're willing to pay $14.99 per month, that is.
• This one is new: A live feed from the Big Brother house will air for three hours every day on Showtime's "SHOTOO" channel.

I wish I had some news about the latest houseguests, but I'll let you know all about them as soon as CBS reveals the new cast.
