Judge gives big “NO!” to reality show….

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will not be allowed to travel to Costa Rica to participate on the NBC summer reality series I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

According to a scoop from The Chicago Sun-Times, the judge does not “have confidence” that Rod would stay in line with the conditions of his bond.

The judge refused to allow the politician to participate on the program even after NBC offered to hire two court-appointed security guards to keep an eye on Rod during filming.

“It’s way too soon. I don’t think this defendant in all honesty … fully understands the position he finds himself in,’’ said U.S. District Judge James Zagel. “I do not have confidence that things will not go astray if I modify bond conditions.’’

Blagojevich is awaiting trial on charges that he tried to sell President Barack Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder during his tenure as governor.
