Idol's Hands the Devil's Playthings

SLOP OF THE POPS Sierra
As if we needed any more proof that being on American Idol can put someone on the road to ruin ...

Less than 2 weeks after she was sentenced to 12 months probation in Tampa on charges of battery and cocaine possession, 2005 American Idol finalist Jessica Sierra was arrested again, on charges of felony battery, cocaine possession, drunk & disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. (Wait. Jessica Sierra is her real name?)

Sierra was kickin' up a ruckus at the Full Moon Saloon in Ybor City, Florida, (where else) on December 1 when cops told her to leave. She refused and things went downhill from there. Sierra is being held in a Tampa-area jail without bail.

Sierra checked herself into rehab in California last summer and was participating in VH1's Celebrity Rehab, hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky. Sierra's fellow trainwrecks included porn star Mary Carey, Jeff Conaway, Andy Dick and others. Video clips from the show were briefly leaked to YouTube. One clip showed Conaway appearing to snort cocaine and another reportedly revealed Sierra singing a hymn to the porcelain gods.

The songbird seemed to be doing well. Sierra was just interviewed by a Tampa TV station on November 23, and she said, "I made some really bad actions and I am ready to take the consequences that are given but I am really ready for this to be over."

Looks like Sierra may have up to 11 years of "consequences" to take this time.

To prove that train wrecks can sometimes harmonize, check out Sierra and fellow Idol misdemeanor offender Scott Savol singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in this crappy fan-made video from the 2005 Idol concert tour.

"I don't know, dawg, I'm just not feelin' it tonight. You had some pitch problems near the beginning and the cocaine possession towards the end. I don't know, it was just ok for me tonight."

"Frankly, Jessica, it was just atrocious. No glasses thrown at anyone's head or fleeing to California at the first sign of trouble. If this is the best you can do, I'm afraid you will not make it to the final round. Terrible. Simply terrible."

My brother is SCOTT SAVOL! Infact I'm his oldest sister! And btw, nice to see that the e-mail from our mother got your attention. I still don't think my brother should be mentioned at all!
