STYLE: Dress My Nest (Premiere) at 11pm

TV viewers this summer won’t watch former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich navigating his way through a Costa Rican jungle after all. According to the Chicago Tribune, a US District Court Judge denied Blagojevich’s request to change the travel conditions of his bail to appear as a contestant on NBC’s I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! Despite the show’s producer Granada America offering to pay for a personal monitor for Blagojevich, the Judge said his appearing on the show was “”a bad idea” and that he needed to stay close and pay attention to the case against him involving multiple political corruption charges. As Blagojevich entered the hearing yesterday he said being a part of the NBC reality show was “a way to earn a living and support my children” and to the Tribune he said, “It’s not my first choice, but it’s a living.”
