Twins Who Auditioned at American Idol Charged With Forgery

Tennessee twins who wowed American Idol judges charged with forgery, theft
-----

at 2:30 on January 19, 2006, EST.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - 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.

The brothers auditioned together in September for the hit TV show American Idol and impressed the show's prickly judges to continue to the next round. Segments of the show have already been recorded and will air during the next few weeks.

Fox Broadcasting Co. refused to discuss the Brittenums or their status on the show.

The return of the show Tuesday drew its best-ever season premiere ratings with 35.5 million viewers. It was a 6 per cent increase over last year's debut, according to preliminary Nielsen Media Research figures.

Wow, highest ratings! I thought people would be tired of seeing the same crap every year. To me it has been dry so far there's no Scary Mary or pschyo queens who are related to Toni Braxton.

somehow, why do i feel like this was done on purpose?? Purposely show people on the show during their audition knowing that they have a rap sheet just so that it can be exploited later on...
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

those twins said they were 16.....any pictures of the two in the article?




And Chicago was far kinder than usual to twins and siblings. Terrell and Derrell Brittenum both made it to Hollywood, as did 16-year-olds Joshua and Jarrett Simmons.

I missed the older guys boxed

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.
