"Idol" Finalist Dodged Cocaine, Pot Raps (Bo Bice)

The Smoking Gun ^ | APRIL 28, 2005

Last night the AI producers or Fox released a statement that Bo had fully disclosed his past and they knew all about it. The same with Scott, he disclosed his past & AI knew about it. The other contestants hid thier "indiscretions" & that is why they were removed.
... And Con's Band - Pray For The Soul Of Betty - went to # 2 on Amazon today and it is not to be released until May 10th.
Con had to sign over all rights to the band before signing with AI so he probally won't see a penny. Hope for him his band will take care of him.
Somehow I think Lt. Dan will be okay.

I know what you mean about his sulleness. He has had a bit of an attitude lately.

I wonder if he is frustrated with all the negative comments about him. From the judges, especially Simon, Ryan and all over the media. It would sure put me in a bad mood!

I agree with your husband about the girl just filing for spite. The judge must have agreed also, to give him such a light sentence.

He probably should have been gone this week, but hopefully when he does go, he uses what he learned and goes on to find some sort of a music career.

[texasflower]

Do you happen to know where they came up with the name of his band?

[texasflower]

(Who knows what she threw at him first???)

EXACTLY! I don't think this gal was any sort of a princess herself.

[gigi]

I have no idea!!

[texasflower]

Tony, how come you are going off on Scott for something that was actually a lesser offense than Bo?

I respect your opinion on lots of things but I truly don't understand why Scott gets your wrath but Bo doesn't?

That "assault" sounded like no big deal at all, but Bo had a FELONY cocaine arrest.

Why do you see Bo so differently? I'm not trying to flame you. I just don't understand this and quite frankly, I was expecting the Scott bashers to react this way to Bo - excusing him, but not Scott.

It doesn't seem fair to me. Please don't get angry, I'm just trying to understand this.

Thanks for the ping. The other thread is going to get either very interesting or suddenly quiet from certain circles! ;)

[texasflower]

It's a very interesting name. I like it. If I find out where it came from, I'll let you know.

[Netizen]

LOL

Fantasia won last year. The screech owl.

[Netizen]

I wonder why smoking gun doesn't have Bo's mug shot?

[Netizen]

I really like Bo, and this will not change my mind. He's got a great voice. THAT is what matters! I think it's a real shame that 'reporters' dig into people's lives until they find something to drag them down!! This has NOTHING to do with him being a singer. He got right with the law, so he's paid for his crime. Give the guy a break.

I'm inclined toagree with you, as long as people cut Scott the same slack. They both appeal to different audiences, but both deserve to be treated equally regarding their pasts.

[Netizen]

Well, I didn't see THAT in the bio clips, did you? :-)

Now THAT is funny! Did you type that with a straight face? :)

[Netizen]

I just heard on the news that Constantine signed a record contract.

His band did.

[Netizen]

The only thing that really bothers me about this thing with Bo is that all of those people who say such nasty things about Scott, will probably give Bo a complete pass.

Looks like its already happening on this very thread.

He pleaded guilty to the latter two misdemeanors in December 2004. (quote directly from the smoking gun as written)

Wait a minute, that's AFTER his involvement with the church.

[Howlin]

Yes, I sure did.

[texasflower]

Wait a minute, that's AFTER his involvement with the church.

Yep!

[texasflower]

Looks like its already happening on this very thread.

Uh huh...just as we thought.

[texasflower]

Two freepmails to you.
