The only surprise is only one has been dug up so far. I'm sure a ton of folks that got cut without getting on air had some convictions.

I couldnt find too many. Paula Abdul once had a hit in run, though

Well the folks that make it to the later rounds probably have background checks to try to avoid any controversy. I mean the preliminary rounds. A lot of those people probably have some kind of record.

I'm pretty sure there was one that got the boot for some nude modeling or something of the nature as well.

I've never understood this response. I mean, most famous women are expected to show cleavage, and shake ass anyway. So why the scandal over nudes?

Because America is a traditionalist country? We pretend to be shocked when we see naked women and the naked male form is only to be used in a comedic way.

Actresses naked in a movie is general ok, but if its a female musician instead its a controversy. It is even worse if she is *gasp* a bikini model.
