Tabloids descend on Crystal Bowersox’s hometown digging for dirt
(HMG) – It’s pretty certain that Crystal Bowersox, deservedly will be one of the final contestants on American Idol this season. Whether the recent story surrounding her alleged attempt to quit the show, before being ‘saved’ by “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest, was a publicity stunt to boost ratings is uncertain.  Though details emerging from a recent interview with ousted contestant and Bowersox confidante Katelyn Epperly indicate that a Bowersox/Seacrest conversation did take place, but that at no point did Bowersox mention quitting. But in any case with Crystal emerging as the Idol favorite the tabloids are looking to stir up some controversy. The Sandusky Register, a local newspaper in Crystal’s hometown of Elliston, Ohio, claims that “celebrity gossip magazines” and various websites have been sneaking around town “digging for all the dirt they can find” on the soulful singer. According to The Register, even a reporter from The National Enquirer has been snooping around and “looking for tips” about Crystal’s young son. He’d stumbled upon one of the Register’s stories and hoped to track down the boy’s birth certificate so he could get the scoop on the baby’s father. It comes with the territory but I don’t think Crystal is the typical fame seeker that often come on these shows, and it’s going to be the price she’ll have to pay for being so talented.
Good old scum press.
This is disgusting. Being gifted and talented is no longer enough. Crystal ought to be appreciated and honored. Instead, the media vultures get giddy setting out to ruin people’s lives. I am ashamed for this country that has lost it’s way. I hope Crystal wins the damn contest because she deserves to – but she’d probably be better off if she doesn’t – so she can create her own destiny, with dignity and raw talent.
Unfortunately this comes with the territory, get slightly famous and the vultures start to circle. I knew the press wasn’t going to leave the subject her of being a single mom alone, and if shes really unlucky some of the holy-than-thous will get in on the act as well. This is a election year let the judgement of other people lifes begin!

I agree with mmarsh and joan. If Crystal ever did want to leave it was probably because of the intense scrutiny her entire life and those around her are being put under by the media. I think it will cause her fans, like me, to rally around her even more. I was a single mom myself with a young son at one time. She should win AI because she is the most talented singer on the show this year and I pray she and her family come through this much better off than they were before. And not just financially.
