American Idol Fodder

Bucky Covington Gets Busted!

Could Bucky Covington seriously be smarter than he looks? CourtTV.com is reporting that the "American Idol" hopeful has a criminal record -- well, sort of.

Apparently, Bucky once duped the cops into believing that he was his twin brother Rocky, in order to keep his sibling safe from prosecution. Turns out that Rocky was involved in a crash back in 1998, and even though it wasn't his fault, he was driving with a suspended license. In your face Brittenum twins!

The twins' father, Gene, concocted a scheme to keep Rocky from further trouble, by having Bucky claim he was the one behind the wheel at the time of the accident. Wasn't this a scene from "The Parent Trap?"

It's doubtful that the story will affect Bucky's chances in the reality competition. I mean, does anyone think he has a chance of winning anyway? -- Rachel Cericola
