TAMPA, Fla. — The organizer of an upcoming patriotic concert said Sunday that former “American Idol” finalist Jessica Sierra was disinvited from performing after reports of her recent arrest and rumors of a sex video.

But even if Sierra wanted to sing at the event, she couldn’t.

The 22-year-old is being held without bail at the Hillsborough County jail in Tampa on charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. She is to remain there at least until her next hearing, scheduled Dec. 20.

“While we appreciate Ms. Sierra’s past efforts to support U.S. troops, including performing for them in Iraq on Independence Day, it is quite obvious that Ms. Sierra needs to devote a great deal of time to putting her life back together,” Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson said in a statement released late Friday. “That effort must take place in private and not in the limelight of the public eye or on stage.”

In a brief phone interview Sunday, Patterson said patrons of MoveAmericaForward.org, which is coordinating the event, were concerned about Sierra’s participation in the event.

1. Translation:

"We appreciate that you put your life on the line to support us in the past, but now, when you're in trouble, we're kicking you to the curb."

3. actually the concert is on the 14th, she doesn't get out of jail

until the 20th....they would have to break her out to get her to the concert. That's not exactly kicking her to the curb.

2. Yet when our Great and Fearless leader runs around intoxicated

most of his life, becomes President and Commander in Chief... Seriously, do we really need a blue dress or a sex tape to Impeach this SOB?
