THe Pickler is still out there singing and might get a tv show?

Yep. She signed a deal with the creators of "That 70's Show".

And speaking of the Gherkin ... her dad has been arrested AGAIN!

ALBEMARLE, N.C. (AP) -- The father of former "American Idol" contestant Kellie Pickler has been arrested again, accused this time of stealing older abandoned and disabled vehicles and illegally selling them to scrap yards.

Authorities have charged Clyde Pickler, 42, who finished a three-year prison term in Florida last year for stabbing a man, with three felony counts of larceny of a motor vehicle and one felony count of obtaining property under false pretense, according to court records.

"He would represent that he had legal ownership and sold them for salvage," said Stanly County Sheriff's Capt. Charles Hatley.

Pickler was arrested May 18 in Albemarle, and he remains in the Stanly County jail on a $26,000 secured bond. He has a court date scheduled for July 9.

He has a court date scheduled for Thursday on a misdemeanor charge of operating a vehicle without a license, and a June 12 court date for another misdemeanor larceny charge, according to court records.

Kellie Pickler, an Albemarle native who now has a country music career based in Nashville, Tenn., reconciled with her father in an emotional public ceremony last May. Pickler's mother abandoned her as a child and her whereabouts have remained a mystery.

An old mugshot is included with the story, but it's an old one.

In his most recent photo, Clyde has more hair and looks thinner.

I saw that on TMZ.com! I’ve never heard him speak, but I imagine his voice to sound like Billy Bob Thorton in Slingblade.

If a vehicle has been abandoned how is it stealing, for him to sell it to scrap yard or dealer? Doesn’t bandoned mean that someone else gave up ownership? I would think it would be a good thing for someone to get the eye sores hauled away?
