The latest ‘American Idol’ gossip
Here’s the fun and sleazy and possibly true…or not American Idol gossip this week.
Remember Ashlyn Carr? She was the adorable little girl with the big voice that got an unprecedented second chance to come back before the judges. Rumor has it that she had been “uninvited” to Hollywood because of an arrest last year for putting sugar in the gas tank of her ex-boyfriend. As it stands, reports now say that she was not and will not be charged in the incident. So what does this mean for her American Idol career? Will she be in Hollywood or not? Guess we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to find out.
In another “wild child” incident, Akron Watson (who came with his cousin who couldn’t sing) was also uninvited to Hollywood because of a past pot arrest in 2003. Akron says that he disclosed this information to American Idol producers before he ever auditioned. Now he’s pretty pissed off that he went through all that for nothing. Do I smell potential law suit or is it all just swept under the rug?
Poor Kelly Pickler. Her dad has been arrested again. This famous father just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. This time he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend with a steak knife. What a loser!
Remember the three girls who skated into the audition all dressed like car hops? Two went on and one went home. Ebony Jointer, the third and best of the group, has a little secret. Seems like she was a member of a Lingerie Football League team, the Chicago Bliss. This league competes in a practically porn version of pay-per-view lingerie football. Rumor has it she also attempted to be America’s Next Top Model. Sounds like this girl is so eager for fame that she’ll do almost anything.
So Mr. Simon Cowell is in the news again. Apparently he is being accused of planting a British pop star into the competition. Tom Lowe said he was a back-up singer for a British pop group Take That before he wowed the judges at the audition. Then he made a big mistake (allegedly). At the end of his audition he said “I was at BMG Records in London at the same time that you were there.” Lowe was a member of British boy band NORTH AND SOUTH who had several hit singles on Simon’s record label. Simon claims he doesn’t remember him. I don’t find that hard to believe. I mean as a record producer how many people would you meet? You couldn’t be expected to remember all of them, specially the ones who had only minor success. Others in the media are not so convinced. They are taking this opportunity to cry once again that the show is fixed.
So that’s some of the American Idol sleaze for this week. I’ll keep my eye on the TV and internet for more so I can keep you informed! Because it’s just so hard to resist.
