"Leggo My Blago"

April 24, 2009

The adventures of Reality Rod continue. Now Steven Baldwin, one of the reality show frequenter brothers, says he's willing to speak to the judged to help get Rod to Costa Rica. He has an interesting concept for protest. From Blago's publicist, Glenn Selig:

One of the stars of the upcoming NBC reality show 'Help, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!,' wants to help get former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in Costa Rica to participate on the show.

Stephen Baldwin says he's willing to go before Judge James Zagel to get permission for Blagojevich to join him in Costa Rica on the show.

"If there's an opportunity to go before the judge and it would help the situation I would be more than happy to go," Baldwin told the former governor who is in L.A. to help promote the reality program airing on NBC in June.

Baldwin said he believes people are innocent until proven guilty so everyone should still be under the assumption that "he's innocent."

The judge ruled earlier this week that he would not alter the conditions of Blagojevich's bond to allow travel to Costa Rica for the reality show.

"I would love for Blagojevich to be on the show,
" Baldwin says. "He would add intensity and spice."

Baldwin, also in L.A. to help promote the new show, says he will start wearing a handmade button on his lapel during interviews that proclaims 'Leggo My Blago.'

With the role of the former governor in the new NBC reality show still unclear, Blagojevich's publicist welcomed the support of the Hollywood actor.

"I think it's great that a Hollywood star like Stephen Baldwin is behind the governor," says Glenn Selig, founder of the PR firm, The Publicity Agency (www.thepublicityagency.com), which represents Blagojevich. "Rod really appreciates his support."

Blagojevich is in Los Angeles with Baldwin and other stars to help promote the upcoming reality show, which he hopes to still have a role in at some point.

He would also add alot of expletives. Check out his "flying" and see his forehead.
