  Rod Blagojevich had accepted an offer to be a contestant on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, but was not able to join the cast because he had to get approval from the judge for leniency as the show would be taped in Costa Rica, outside of where he is currently allowed to travel. He would have earned $80,000 a week for his appearance on the show.chicagotribune.com: Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich Hoping to Appear on Reality Show (April 15, 2009)

  It was announced on April 21, 2009, that Blagovevich could not be cast on the show and that he wasn't taking his defense trial serious enough.
