"The Price Is Right," daytime television's most-watched program, says "come on down" to "The Talk" host Sharon Osbourne, singer and actress Demi Lovato, NBA Hall of Fame inductee and sports commentator Charles Barkley, musicians Drew and Nick Lachey, and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star and actress NeNe Leakes when the show presents its second annual "Celebrity Week," Monday, Feb. 18 - Friday, Feb. 22 (11 a.m.), on the CBS Television Network.

"The Price Is Right" "Celebrity Week" features the stars playing alongside contestants, with the celebrities' winnings going to their favorite charities. Osbourne, Lovato, Barkley, the Lachey brothers and Leakes will each participate in six of the show's popular games as they help contestants vie for spots in the Showcase.

Combined, the celebrity contestants raised more than $250,000 for charity, and one of the celebrities manages to break last year's individual record, when Snoop Dogg raised $72,585 for the Snoop Youth Football League.
