Hollywood - Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was recruited by NBC to star their upcoming summer reality show entitled "I'm a celebrity... get me out of here", the said network confirmed Tuesday. According to Hollywood Reporter, the network is still waiting for the court's approval if the former Governor will be allowed to work with the said reality show. "Rod Blagojevich will be a participant on the show pending the court's approval," NBC said. According to Chicago Daily Tribune, Blagojevich's lawyer told a federal judge Tuesday that he will file a request to loosen his client's travel restrictions to participate in the show, which will be shot in Costa Rica.

Former Governor Blagojevich was indicted April 1 on federal corruption charges that included 11 counts of wire fraud, three of extortion, one of racketeering and one of lying to federal investigators.
