Blago Sees Reality-TV Fame Slip Through His Fingers

Disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was denied in his quest to join the cast of "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" earlier this afternoon. U.S. District Judge James Zagel, in a move that shocked approximately no one, declined to alter the terms of Blagojevich's bond to allow him to travel to the show's set in the Costa Rican rainforest. We guess his entertainment television legacy will begin and end, then, with Jason Sudeikis on "Weekend Update." Or will it?! Stay tuned to Pop Vox for an offering from NEWSWEEK's satirical video team later this week that may sate your Blago-in-the-jungle craving.
