Celebrity Fit Club 5 will feature a new psychotherapist, Dr. Stacy Kaiser.

Judd; hip-hop artist Da Brat; The Tonight Show's Ross "The Intern" Matthews; American Idol 2 finalist Kimberly Locke; and rapper Warren G.
Similar to past seasons of Celebrity Fit Club, Men vs. Women will see the cast divided into groups of four, however for the fifth installment they'll be divided by gender.
