Celebrity Rehab

I always root for the underdogs (especially on reality tv) and Nikki McKibbin was the begining of that with me. She was 3rd place on the first season of American Idol. And now she is appearing on Celebrity Rehab on VH1. In the first episode she opens up about her mothers death ... apparently her mother gave her drugs and did drugs with her. And on one of their binge nights together her mother overdosed and died. She also admits to being molested by family members going back to when she was 5 years old. Whew. I feel just terrible. I hope something helps her.

Idols in rehab

Life after American Idol can be tough. Just ask Jessica Sierra - I think she was on season 3 maybe. She was eliminated fairly fast, and since then has been busted for crack cocaine, smoking drugs while pregnant, arrested for beating a cop, and she also made a skanky sex tape and tried to sell it to the press. She has appeared on Celebrity rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky. Obviously it didn't work because she is trying to get onto the second season of the show (Dr. Drew has said no).

However one of my favorite idol's ever, Nikki McKibbin (pictured) is on the roster to appear on season 2 of the horriby evasive reality show. Remember season one? Kelly Clarkson vs. Carrot Top (er Justin Guarini). Well Nikki was 3rd. She was the rocker who as the show went on everyone started to hate. I loved her (as I usually root for the underdog). She actually did release an independant cd about a year ago - that didn't go anywhere. But now it seems shes taken to some sort of drug. So tune into the show for her to be extorted for entertainment purposes. Oh well - I hope she gets better.
