Of course being turned down was a result of last weeks arrest which went as follows:

cops aluso say the twenty-two year old offered oral sex to the police officer if he would let her go, and used a barrage of racial slurs at the scene, on the way to jail and at the jail.
Sierra is being charged with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest, felony battery and possession of cocaine.
This is not the first time sierra's gotten herself into trouble with the law ... in November, she was sentenced to twelve months probation and random drug screening after being accesed of hitting a man on the head with a glass at a nightclub.
During an apprearance in court on Sunday, a judge told Sierra she is facing more than eleven years in prison. Since Sierra violated the terms of her probation, no bond has been set for her release.
It's amazing how different she looks!
“American Idol” season 6 winner Jordin Sparks was expected to fly out of the gate with her new album, but it looks like her album sales for the first week are the lowest of any “Idol” winner. Granted, it’s the first week, but Billboard is reporting Jordin Sparks’ album is “the lowest start and smallest sales debut for any of the show’s winners.” Ouch.
