CHICAGO (AP) - Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is due in court for a status hearing in his federal corruption case.
U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel will preside over the Monday hearing.
Earlier this year, Zagel refused to let Blagojevich go to Costa Rica to participate in NBC's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" reality TV show. In his place, his wife joined the cast.
Reports have surfaced this month that Blagojevich plans to appear on Donald Trump's "The Celebrity Apprentice" reality show.
Blagojevich faces federal corruption charges for allegedly scheming to profit from President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat.
He has pleaded not guilty.
His trial is due to get under way in June.
