Brittenum twin Derrell has turned himself in to Georgia authorities, according to this MTV article. He was arrested late Friday and spent the weekend in a Rockdale County, Georgia, jail cell. At the time this article was posted, his brother Terrell was still in jail in Tennessee.
It’s important to note that neither twin has been officially DQ’d from the competition yet. In fact there is a rumor that Derrell and Terrell posted bail and are now in Hollywood for the Top 24 selection. Heh, I don’t know about that, but I DO know that the producers are, so far, keeping mum on the twins’ status. So ya never know….
The Indy Star reports that contestant Kendall Phillips, 17, of Zionsville, Indiana has made it to Hollywood. She auditioned in Chicago where she sang Robert Palmer’s “Bad Case of Loving You.” The article states that she didn’t appear in the episode. But, could this (left) cap from the show be Kendall? They tend to edit in all the successful contestants, even if it’s only a frame or two of a montage. Pic from the Indy Star (below).
More news on Tora, who’s been on the list of potential Top 24 contestants. According to reader, spoilerai, she auditioned in Denver and only made it as far as the second round. She auditioned in Las Vegas and most definitely got a golden ticket to Hollywood–spoiler was there to witness it. However–it looks like she did not make the Top 44, and according to a poster on Idol Forums, the story of what happened to her in Hollywood is pretty wild–so stay tuned. In the meantime, she’s just joined a band called Heartfelt Confessions, and appears to be putting the Idol experience behind her. The IDF poster recently attended an open rehearsal for her new band, and calls them “amazing.”
Recently, I mentioned that Gina Glocksen may be Top 44/24? Well, according to what I’m reading on the message boards, she’s not with the group of contestants who are in Hollywood right now being whittled down to 24. According to someone with a connection to her mom, she was cut in Hollywood. Gina did not have a NETNAMES registration that anyone could find.
