Well, this didn't take long. It seems the hit show American Idol has its first potential felons of the new season and it hasn't even gone live. Good gawd. LOL That says a lot. And, no, I don't watch the show, though I've heard there's a talented young lady from my area competing this time out.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Jan 19, 2006 — They sang like angels for their audition on Tuesday's 'American Idol' premiere, but a pair of Memphis twins may sound more like jailbirds by the time the show goes live from Hollywood.
Terrell Brittenum, 28, has been in jail since Jan. 10 on an outstanding warrant for charges related to the illegal purchase of a car in Rockdale County, Ga., east of Atlanta.
He and his brother, Derrell, are accused of using another man's identity to buy a 2005 Dodge Magnum in June.
Derrell was expected to turn himself in on the same charges of forgery, theft by deception and financial identity fraud, The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported.
Wonder how many we'll get out of this batch. I'm betting they don't get the free flight to Hollywood.

A 2005 Dodge Magnum?
That's a station wagon for married suburban in denial. I can just see the marketing guys dreaming up this idea, "Hey! Let's take a station wagon and drop a huge engine in it... say, a 'hemi' like in those old muscle cars, pitch it as macho and watch all the henpecked daddy-types use it to pick up groceries and drive the kids to band practice." - "Brilliant!"

Great news from my home city once again! Only in Memphis. More like American Idiots instead of Americal Idol.
