PopWatch is such a guessing game today — first Rod Stewart’s age, now this mystery lady’s identity. Non-famous person Patti Blagojevich announced today that she’ll be joining the cast of NBC’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, which is now going to "blow on purpose" with so much more fervor than we originally thought. Patti’s husband, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, had to bow out of the cast because he broke the law so hard he’s not allowed to travel. This show gets more bizarre every time we allow the least functional sections of our brains to think about it. The spectacle airs FOUR NIGHTS A WEEK starting June 1. Are you going to watch?
More on ‘I’m a Celebrity…’
Lou Diamond Phillips on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’? You’re better than that! (Right?)
‘I’m A Celebrity…’: The cast kinda blows on purpose. I think.

This IL resident is sooooo sick of hearing about the Blagojevich family! (Translation: I will not be watching.)
It should be called “I’m a nobody. Thanks for bringing me here!”
uh, no
is anybody seriously going to watch this piece of crap show?
You’d have to pay me to watch this floater. A lot!
If the producers want to do the world a favor, they’ll leave them there… without cameras.
I hope that no one watches this. it’s one thing to get C-list or so stars for things like Dancing with the stars. Even if you don’t know them, they seem generally decent (i.e. Gilles, Melissa who weren’t even C list. Steveo, Brooke Burke, etc). This is just…gross. At least the last time this was on the people that were on it had at least had some amount of success at some point in their lives.
DONT WATCH IT!!
Am I going to watch? No. Oh sweet Jesus no. I’d rather be attacked and trampled on by a group of wild elephants.
I’m watching Steve B… but the rest of the cast can suck it.
Patti Blagoyavich and Sanjaya, this cast sounds worse the Celebrity Apprentice. And four nights a week is overkill for a good show let alone this. I’ll be watching WIPEOUT instead.
Between this and putting Leno on during prime time, basically giving up on any quality scripted shows, NBC has officially jumped the shark. It’s just sad.
I foresee horrible ratings for this horrible show.
What the show really needs to do is get some horror stars involved. Maybe even some zombie extras or behind the scenes artists.
We could use more zombies:

Is there any chance a “controlled burn” could be done at that location?
The benefit of this sort of show is that it tells you a lot about the person who watches it. If someone were to start yattering on about it to me, I know they’re not the kind of person I’d want to have any kind of serious conversation with.
The only reason I would watch is that I understand the viewers can vote to have cast members do certain tasks. If that is the case any opportunity I can have to torture Spencer with the most horrible task their is wonderful!!
i’ve been known to watch some pretty trashy tv shows, but 4 nights a week just seems like such overkill. even for me.
No wonder the creator of “My Name is Earl” compared NBC to the Titanic, it’s an apt description. The only way I’d watch this show is if we got all the people there and then told them, it’s not a show, we’re just leaving you here to stop annoying the rest of us.
The only way I’ll watch this is if NBC promises that Lou Diamond Phillips will slap the smug off Spencer Pratt’s face – otherwise, no thanks.
Hell no, I’d rather be audited.
NO! I reject your concept of Celebrity.
Yes! I have been waiting for the show foreva! Seriously EW do you think anyone who regularly reads this blog is going to watch this show. It sounds like a big steaming pile.
To think, Sanjaya was once popular enough to drive a little girl to tears. And for what? Singing on TV for a few weeks/months? Now he’s not even passable fodder for hipster-type mockery. And think about all the media attention that little girl got way back when. Sometimes I’m truly and profoundly sickened by our culture.
NBC seems to have a very tenuous grasp of the definition of “celebrity.” And they wonder why their ratings are in the toilet.
No I’m not going to watch. And as far as I can tell, there is nothing on at 8pm in June on any channel that will entice me to watch television.
Hell to the no! Memo to the producers, famewhores do not = celeberities.
no
Blago was one thing but blagos wife comon Nbc what is ur idea of a celeb
Not just NBC, but ABC too with Dancing with the Stars. I mean come on, the guy from the shower scene of the Sex and the City movie?? Did he even have any lines?? Blech.
Well she is BFF with Obama and Obama turns everything to gold with everything he touches. Its win-win. http://cutecatholics.com
If any spouse married to a sleazy politian is a “celebrity” then NBC has a whole cast fo characters to choose from. This is the biggest piece of crap. I will NEVER watch this.
She’s a loser!!! Exceptionally greedy.
These reality shows pay big bucks, I heard $80K an episode and they are really needy right now.
