Reality PayCheck

Who can forget (or remember) Patti Blagojevich's star appearance last year on reality show, I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here? Not to be outdone, Blagojevich's better (or worse) half, Rod Blagojevich, is scheduled to appear on Celebrity Apprentice -- the current incarnation of Donald Trump's Apprentice reality series. The Daily Herald has the details ...
Blagojevich competing on 'Celebrity Apprentice'
Your LakeCountyEye expects nothing less than to see Blagojevich and Trump in the cross-hairs, along with some hair-knuckled fisticuffs from the two media-savvy showmen.

There are enough reality shows presently on the air that it's been estimated that contestants now outnumber viewers. Your LakeCountyEye was skeptical on first seeing that factoid, however a check of the local listings did little to belie this unexpected statistic. Emboldened by our ex-Governor, a slew of Lake County luminaries have queued up to appear this season on the reality TeeVees. Your LakeCountyEye has tweeted up a few for the record:

  • Hoping to seal his heterosexual bona fides,
    Mark Kirk will appear on ...

  • She bargained the State's Attorney down from a criminal indictment to a promise to cover costs. Now let's talk about that ridiculous $2000 computer repair bill:

That is great, especially Shirley Christian.

Well done, as usual, Eye.

You left out Andy Martin (who thinks that Kirk could star in "Boy Meets Boy", "He's a Lady", or "Playing It Straight"). There are several possibilities for Martin:
- The Gauntlet
- Jackass
- Kicked Out
- Lost

Of course, neither of them would be eligible for "The Real World."

I'll have to have a look at who will be on Punk't this season.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Cindy Hebda's D1 form was faxed from someone's legislative office?

Anon 9:45:

Let’s put this rumor to bed. I am Hebda's Treasurer. I faxed her D-1 and A-1 from my home office where I live and run all my political campaigns. The number on the top of the page is 847-949-5579. I have attached the link.

If you go to my campaign website you will see clearly that this number is listed as my campaign number.

So please review the enclosed explanation and try to refrain from continuing the rumor,

Rep. Ed Sullivan
