Atty: Blagojevich's wife mulling reality TV spot

[May 19, 2009]  CHICAGO (AP) -- An attorney says the wife of ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is considering reality TV after her indicted husband was barred from traveling to Costa Rica to be on a show.

Blagojevich attorney Sheldon Sorosky said Monday that NBC has offered Patti Blagojevich a spot on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here," but she hasn't reached a deal.

NBC spokesman Gary Mednick says the network has no immediate comment. Sorosky says he has "no idea" whether Patti Blagojevich will agree to be on the show.

A federal judge has barred the former governor from leaving the country to do the show pending his political corruption trial in Chicago.
