Blago is stayin’ put
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich isn't going anywhere anytime soon! After corruption charges, scandal and possible jail time the Bob's Big Boy look-a-like still haunts the media. Aren't is 15 minutes of fame over yet?
The defunct politician had requested travel adjustments so he could appear on I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and was just shut down by Judge James Zagel, who said, "I do not have confidence that things will not go astray if I modify bond conditions."
Blagojevich was all set to travel to Costa Rica to shoot the reality TV show in order to help pay for his impending legal costs.
NBC released a statement saying, "NBC is disappointed in the court's decision today regarding Rod Blagojevich's participation on I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! but excited about the casting announcement for the show this Friday. There are no plans to move the show to a location in the United States."
Guess that Blagojevich is just gonna have to make money the old-fashioned way - with a job! It amazes me that producers would even consider him someone the public would be interested in seeing on a show. Are we that desparate? Not me.
