Is this one of the twins that Simon said "were the best twins they have ever heard"?

On another note, my cat is not feeling too well and I thought Crazy Dave could find out what's wrong!

Looks like Derrell is headed to the slammer too ...

If Terrell Brittenum watched his performance on television's "American Idol" Tuesday night, he did so from the Shelby County Jail.

Brittenum and his twin brother, Derrell Brittenum, both of southeast Memphis, appeared on the show. And both had outstanding criminal warrants when their performances aired.

They're charged in Rockdale County, Ga., with forgery, theft by deception and financial identity fraud.

The case involves the purchase of a 2005 Dodge Magnum in June -- allegedly by using another man's identity.

Terrell Brittenum has been in jail here since Jan. 10. His brother is still on the loose but is expected to turn himself in, sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said.

What's wrong with that? I watch bullriding to see the riders bucked off. I always cheer for the bulls.

Scott Savol was arrested for assault, but was never convicted. The original Smoking Gun article only had the "baby mama's" side of the story.

She swears it isn't true, but I swear Mrs. Fierro watches this show just to see people crash & burn.

That's why we all watch it.

He should have sang The Cell Block Tango from Chicago:

He had it coming
He had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there
If you'd have heard it
I betcha you would
Have dome the same!

Well, that, and to make fun of people. Bwaaahaaaa! It's a shame, they had real potential. But, if they did what is reported, they deserve to go to jail. I hate theifs, despicable people.

When you have that many people trying out you're bound to have things like this. I'm actually surprised there isn't more of it since they raised the age to try out. AI can't do background checks on everybody who tries out. I hope they do once they get into the top 40 or so.
