While some counts name John Harris and Alonzo Monk, the Government says they are not expected to go to trial on the new charges. As to William Cellini, his charges aren't affected by the honest services count so he isn't included in the new filing and the Government says it will proceed to trial on him on the old indictment. Background on their cases is here.
So the Government is just covering its bases in light of the upcoming decision on the fraud by theft of honest services statute.
As for Rod Blagojevich, he's going to follow in his wife's footsteps and compete in Celebrity Apprentice which begins in March. His trial is set for June. (Patti was on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, and easily the most likable contestant. I doubt Rod will be as endearing.)
