Bungle in the jungle: 'I'm a Celebrity' debuts

[June 02, 2009]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Viewers may be saying "Get me out of here!" after the premiere of NBC's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"

The nightly competition show originates from the Costa Rican jungle, with semi-famous people competing for food, supplies and money for their favorite charities.

But judging from the first episode, with no one eliminated, most of the action is bickering and eating bugs.

Actor Stephen Baldwin, pro wrestler Torrie Wilson and former Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich are among the show's 11 rivals.

"I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" continues for the next four weeks.
