Rod and Patti Blagojevich

Illinois’ former governor might not be heading to Costa Rica anytime soon, but that won’t keep a Blagojevich from competing on NBC.

Although a federal judge recently barred Rod Blagojevich from traveling out the country, his family has found a new way to pay for their legal fees. Starting next month, Rod’s wife will find herself face-to-face with other D-listers on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.

“I don’t feel I’m a celebrity. NBC wanted my husband on the show, and when he was unable to go, they expressed interest in me,” Patti explained to the Today show. “In this terrible economic time, I feel it’s necessary to go to work to support my family.” The mother of two also said her reality show debut would give her a chance to repair her public image. (Because as we all know—what is uttered on wiretaps is never repeated in the jungle.)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, News

DescriptionAlthough I’d secretly been hoping to see Janice Dickinson, and Geraldo Rivera in the same jungle together, a federal court judge has just rearranged my summer viewing plans.

Blagojevich has just been told that he will not be allowed a pass out of the country for . Participation in the NBC series would have given the former Illinois governor a nice paycheck to contribute to his legal fees. It would have also required him to stay in Costa Rica for several weeks while he awaits trial on his corruption case.

Despite assurances from the network that security guards would be hired to watch over Blagojevich, U.S. District Judge James Zagel rejected the request. “I do not have confidence that things will not go astray if I modify bond conditions,’’ Zagel said.

If convicted on all charges, Rod could spend between 25-30 years in prison.

Rod Blagojevich

Now you didn’t really think Hollywood could let all that hair go to waste, did ya?

Providing a federal judge gives the final approval, NBC’s new programming decision will likely receive more buzz than Leno’s 10:00 gig. It’s just been revealed that Rod Blagojevich may be a contestant on .

The reality series - based on a UK version - is set to debut later this summer. The live program would bring a list of celebrities to a Costa Rican jungle where they must endure various tests to raise money for charity. Celebrity would air several days a week (a la Big Brother) during the month of June.

Before Rod can solidify a spot on the show, the impeached Illinois governor must first get travel approval from the judge in his corruption case. If he gets the thumbs up, audiences can begin monitoring his coif on June 1.
