The Dirty Laundry of American Idol Contestants

Nikki McKibbin is a Junkie

Nikki was the teenage mother and “rock chic” on Season 1 of American Idol, she was the one who wailed “I will Survive” and “Black Velvet”, only to then move on to BIGGER AND BETTER? things like VH1’S Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew for her cocaine and alcohol addition…..things are looking brighter however, she’ll be in a “spin-off” series called “Sober House” yes, seriously.

SANJAYA THINKS HE'S GOD, WANT A PERFORMANCE? THAT'LL BE 3 GRAND PLEASE.

Reports came out on TMZ and various gossip sites that when Sanjaya was asked to perform as a local amusement park, AN AMUSEMENT PARK, he was demanding three grand! Really? For bad singing?

Taylor Hicks on the other hand- he performs for free!

Otherwise nobody would come.

Remember Vonzell Solomon from Season 4

She was the fourth castoff on on Season 4, Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice’s season. Turns out, Vonzell is packing HEAT!

In June of 2008 Vonzell was arrested at Southwest Florida International Airport for carring an unloaded gun with her. Loaded or not, STILL NOT SMART TO CARRY GUNS ON PLANES. Hello.

No one will forget Corey Clark, the DISQUALIFIED American Idol Contestant

According to American Idol producers Corey didn’t disclose his previous criminal record to them when he auditioned. Later, when they got wind of it he was disqualified and as a backlash threatened to write about book about his “steamy affair” with Paula Abdul. He wrote an e-book called, “The Sex, Lies and Paulatics of American Idol”, this classy guy was also sued by WALMART in 2000 for $600 in bad checks.

Wow.

Young Paris Bennett is a baby mama!!!

Season 2 Contestant Olivia Mojica made a porno!!

Apparently the footage was obtained by Vivid Entertainment by an “unidentified” party.

Turns out...David Hernandez of Season 7 was previously a STRIPPER

Yet, they let him remain on the show anyway. Wonder if it has something to do with his delicious abs?…..Just sayin’.

We all remember Frenchie Davis from Season 1...

When she got elimanted for making FETISH FILMS before Idol. Now Frenchie is doing just fine, she was on the Broadway case of The Color Purple and her success continues to rise, looks like she didn’t need porn or Idol?

Jennifer Hudson of Season 3 suffered a MAJOR family tragedy

Later that day, Chicago police arrested a suspect, William Balfour, 27, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, but he was not charged with any crime. Balfour is on parole and spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possession of a stolen vehicle. The Illinois Department of Corrections’ records reveal one of Balfour’s addresses to be the home where Donerson and Jason Hudson were murdered.

ONE MORE THING: Did they put Carrie Underwood on a diet?

I’d venture to say, YES. Looks like Hollywood fixes teeth AND makes people skinny.
