    Blago Joining Reality Show, in the Jungle

    Rod Blagojevich's months-long media bombing campaign has reached its inevitable climax: The disgraced former Illinois governor plans to join an NBC reality show, alongside J. Lo's ex-husband.

    Blago, who just pled "not guilty" to federal corruption charges in the most insane way possible, is in talks to star in a forthcoming survival-style reality show on NBC, the Chicago Tribune reports. His attorney just warned the judge in his case that the governor will soon ask for dispensation from his travel restrictions to travel to the Costa Rican's jungle for the show.

    Here's the show's official description (via Hollywood Reporter):

    "Ten celebrities of various backgrounds will be dropped into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle to face challenges designed to test their skills in adapting to the wilderness and to raise money for their favorite charities."

    It's not yet clear which charity Blago plans to shake down over his potential winnings.
