While her husband hogged the spotlight a few months ago, finally it’s Patti Blagojevich‘s time to shine.

The censors were ready for former Governor Blago’s wife to appear on MSNBC today, in an interview with Tamron Hall. The purpose — to promote the upcoming NBC show, “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!” where she’s a contestant.

That’s right, she’ll be joining John Salley, Stephen Baldwin and Heidi and Spencer from “The Hills” in the jungle of Costa Rica beginning June 1 because, as she said in the interview, “It was an opportunity to help support our family.”

As Salley said on MSNBC: “She has two kids that they raised and she has to come now to the jungle and deal with Stephen Baldwin. I’m telling you this is the strongest woman I’ve seen in a long time!”

And if this isn’t surreal enough, joining this crew in the jungle of Costa Rica may be, well, me. Vote me to the next round in “I’m a Blogger…Get Me Out of Here“! Really, no joke. WebNewser has all the details.
