LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Former "American Idol" contestant Mikalah Gordon was "in a panic" but was not physically harmed after being robbed at gunpoint in Las Vegas, her mother said Thursday. Gordon, 18, was roughed up by robbers who accosted her and a male friend about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday on a sidewalk in a neighborhood about seven miles northwest of the Las Vegas Strip, said her mother, Victoria Cavaricci. "She's not physically harmed, but she's in a panic," Cavaricci told The Associated Press in a brief telephone interview from her Las Vegas home. Cavaricci said the robbers got away with a cell phone and $5.
Las Vegas police confirmed the robbery occurred and they were investigating. Gordon reached the finals of the 2005 "American Idol" competition. She graduated from a Las Vegas high school and now lives in Los Angeles, where she is pursuing an entertainment career.
Cavaricci said her daughter was "scarred and scared" and unable to talk with a reporter early Thursday. She said she had not canceled a scheduled appearance to sing this weekend at a benefit for children with cancer in Orange County, Calif.

pretty soon they will think normal people who live everyday lives are celebs.
she does have a big mouth. almost as big as fantasia's. have you seen the commercial for that s***-fest movie she put out on lifetime? one clip has her laughing and I swear you could park a van inside that gaping hole she calls a mouth. f***, that is one ugly broad.
Wasn't this the chick that had that annoying voice like the Fran Dreschler? Why do you bother with this crap... she's nobody.
hey tmz,
I took my truck in for an oil change this morning. Why don't you print that:) it's about as newsworthy as this chick getting held up.
She's the co-host of Fox Reality Channel's American Idol Remix. She has a job in the "entertainment" industry. So it isn't that she's a nobody. She's just teetering on the brink of obscurity.
Wow, what a big mouth.She should have bitten them with that big mouth. She would have definetly taken a bite out of crime. She looks like a pornstar.
