Scandal! Rickey Gets Dragged Out of American Idol After Party!

So no more dramatic details, just keeping it simple:

Anyone who reads Rickey.org or watches Rickey TV knows that Rickey is all about love.

American Idol has never asked me to stop what I am doing here because they know I am a true fan of the show, and even with all the video clips and whatnot scattered all over the place, all I've done is promote the show no matter what. During the season, during the summer, when the 15 minutes of fame are over. (Moreover, Rickey.org was the only blog who wrote about Fox's So You Think You Can Dance with a passion during their first couple of seasons.)

It boggles the mind why I was removed from the After Party tonight in Newark. They want me out of there because... ? I see no good reason why, specially since anyone who is interested about the American Tour this summer always stop at Rickey.org. They don't want me to write about how awesome my American Idol Summer Tour experience was because... ?

I will try to get an explanation of why I am not wanted, when clearly, the Idols don't mind what I have been doing to promote them and excite their fans. Michael Johns, the last Idol I talked to last night before I was removed, told me to "keep up the good work!" And even Syesha Mercado, who has every reason to hate me with all my Fanesha 300 shenanigans, said that she loved me in one our cellcasts on Rickey TV. I was so excited to see her finally to thank her for being such a good sport in all this. I even wore my Fanesha 300 shirt in her honor, when everybody knows that I am a bigger fan of some of the other Idols.

It's a bit of a wake up call for me because I've never been singled out of a room and escorted out for simply being who I am. I never realized that I've reached that level of recognition for something like that to be done to me.

After all the heartache of not being able to hug Carly Smithson when she was literally just in front of me -- I'll just come away with that realization: I have no idea how popular I have become on the Internet. I've always envisioned myself as simply being a fan who has a popular blog. Apparently, I am already something more.

Thanks to everyone for the support! I feel better already, and I will enjoy the concert on Thursday. As always, with a smile, we look forward to what life will bring tomorrow.
