Huge news today in American Idol land! As tonight's episode airs, even if you're not that into the songs, the singers or the awful judging, what you will want to see is Wild Card Pick, Jermaine Jones getting raked over the coals for lying about his past…. OR IS HE? It's been reported that he flew First Class (cough cough, no way he paid for that) out of LA and towards the East to get away from this huge scandal.
Idol has had its issues in the past with singers attempting to hide porn histories, nude shots and even criminal records but for someone who got booted off, brought back and then to reportedly do as well as he has these past couple weeks, I have to hilariously give it up to this con artist for making it as far as he has. And yet, a criminal or not, in his ever abundant momma's boy style, he's acting pretty ridiculous and broke the news by tweeting (I kid you not): "Awww I will no longer b on the show". Jermaine Jones has been not just "found out" but hard core busted. The guy has MULTIPLE arrest warrants for various issues (and I'm not just talking loitering outside a 7-11!). I cannot WAIT to see if he's on the show or not tonight as promised he would be this afternoon by Exec evildoer Nigel Lythgoe.
Though I admittedly take a little humour in this as he should have never been allowed back on the show, what's even more ironic is that him accepting this reprieve is what put him into the limelight to get busted! Execs at Idol have reported that he escaped their look into his past by using a fake name and that he might have been doing so with others which means the few cases of arrest they've heard about might not even be the extent of it!! SEE YA Jermaine… I wonder if they'll even do an elimination this week..? Maybe they'll sing "Jailhouse Rock" in his honour instead?
Jermaine has arrest warrants for:
2006: Narcotics arrest
2008: Open-container charge
2009: Lying to an officer and providing a fake name
2011: Lying to two officers on two occasions and providing fake names
Amazing. This year really is the season of drama. What's next, Phil Phils comes out as gay and asks me out? We can only hope ;)
