Posted April 24, 200916 yr http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/900/captp.jpg The reality series "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" lost Rod Blagojevich but boasts TV lovebirds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt and a Baldwin brother among the contestants. Ousted Illinois Gov. Blagojevich, who had hoped to compete on the NBC show, was barred by a judge from traveling to Costa Rica for filming while he awaits trial on racketeering and other charges. He was in Los Angeles on Friday to join in the cast announcement. The "I'm a Celebrity" contestants include Montag and Pratt of MTV's "The Hills," who were set to be married this weekend. Others who agreed to test their survival skills in the Costa Rican jungle and vie for bragging rights and money for charity: former pro basketball player John Salley; model and TV host Janice Dickinson; actor Stephen Baldwin and former pro wrestler and model Torrie Wilson. The glamorous Dickinson was asked if she would be out of her element. "Are you insane? Life is a jungle," she replied, adding that she had participated in the original British version of "I'm a Celebrity." Three other contestants will be announced, NBC told a news conference held in Pasadena and by phone. The series will premiere with a two-hour episode 8 p.m. EDT June 1, and air 8-9 p.m. EDT Monday through Thursday until its June 24 finale. MTV, which is a partner with NBC on the series, will show a marathon of the preceding week's episodes on Sundays, beginning June 7. Unaired footage and commentary from cast members will be included. Blagojevich traveled to Southern California on Thursday and filmed a promotional spot for "I'm a Celebrity" in which he was hoisted in front of a blank screen and feigned making a parachute jump. Trying to survive in the jungle would not have been his first choice of a job, Blagojevich said Friday. But he had "basically deluded myself" into thinking of it as a chance to be a modern-day version of the adventurous Teddy Roosevelt. He will abide by the court's decision, Blagojevich said. Noting his admiration for California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Blagojevich offered a comparison with the actor-turned-politician. "I guess you could say doing something like this (TV show) would be the reverse career path," he said.

April 24, 200916 yr Author I never realized that he had such a tight body. Biggest douche though. But I'd still do him.

April 25, 200916 yr Ugh, Heidi is foul. Lauren forever <3 I only know Spencer, Heidi and Janice though :(
April 25, 200916 yr Hopefully Heidi will win, Spencer will be first out and then Heidi will come in the Im A Celeb UK version and win that to! although I am being kind of unrealistic about that last part
April 26, 200916 yr Author ^ Saaaame. If Dog's confirmed.....that'd be nothing short of A. MAY. ZING. Sanjaya is confirmed as well.
April 26, 200916 yr Hate heidi and spencer, shes a tard that used lauren to get famous, and hes just a PR I CK, LOVVVVVE Whiteny but she doesn''t need to do this show as she has a proper career and the CITY <3
April 28, 200916 yr Eugh. This is not even set in the proper place. I'm A Celeb should be set in Australia, in specific the part of Queensland they use for the UK version. namely Springbrook National Park less than an hour south of Brisbane :wub:
May 14, 200916 yr in all the other versions around the world i'm sure they use Australia. I bet this one is much easier than the UK one.
June 2, 200916 yr OOOOOOOOOH! TORRIE WILSON!! :wub: :wub: Torrie Wilson FTW :wub: Love it if Torrie Wilson won. Torrie Wilson is beautiful :wub: I agree on all of this Torrie is amazing. Torrie to win for me too because she is the only one i know. :D Edited June 2, 200916 yr by RobDeMusicMan
