Rod Blagojevich spotted waiting tables in Burger Heaven in Manhattan 

On the same day former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is expected in district court to see if the judge will let him participate in the reality show -- because it will air months before his federal corruption trial and may sway jurors -- I found him casually leaning toward a pair of suits with pen to pad of paper. What's on the menu? Australian chef Curtis Stone was cooking up mushroom risotto for $250, and a burger, chicken cutlet, grilled shrimp salad and turkey sandwich for $100 each. For those looking for the deal, soda or a cup of Joe is included.

Ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is filming Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" in New York this week, and it's already causing a stir.

We found Blago shooting for the next installment of NBC's hit show near our offices today, along with baseball star Darryl Strawberry, comedian Sinbad and wrestler Goldberg.
