American Idol Wannabeen in Psych Ward
Here’s another piece of American Idol news and this one may be a shocker. Season 1 contestant Nikki McKibbin was recently placed under psychiatric observation for 72 hours after suffering a severe breakdown in late February. According to a police report, Nikki called a friend and told her that she wanted to kill herself. Said friend then called the police who arrived to find Nikki with a number of pills in her hand. Nikki refused to cooperate with the police and reportedly tried to kick out the windows of the cop car. Her unraveling may be attributed to having released an album in 2007 to a lukewarm response and the sudden death of her mother last August. Times may be tough but suicide is never the answer.
