"A.I." Contestant Ordered to SCRAM

Posted Jan 15th 2009 8:47AM by TMZ Staff

If "American Idol" wannabe Emily Wynne-Hughes manages to stick around for a while, you might get to see the first contestant perform with an alcohol monitoring bracelet!

Turns out Emily -- the same tattooed chick who can't seem to keep her pants on -- is smack in the middle of a DUI fiasco, and she has been ordered to wear a SCRAM bracelet.

The whole thing is over an arrest back in July, where cops busted her for allegedly driving drunk in West Hollywood. Emily copped a plea to a lesser charge of reckless driving.

In addition to the bracelet, Emily was placed on 3 years probation.

We've learned there may be another hearing and the judge could back down on the SCRAM bracelet -- but for now the order stands.

4. American Idol always gets the CLASSY people. Hookers, whores, sluts, drunks, drug dealers, rapists, wife abusers, kid abusers. You'd think the AI MORONS would do some sort of background checking on who they're pormoting; that way, their newest golden boy or girl being an ex hooker or drug dealer or drunk driver wouldn't ever be an issue...

6. I really liked her and I hope America Idol doesn't tell her she can't be on the show. With all of this stuff coming out of the woodwork I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

11. This is what happens when they pick the " interesting " ones, no one wants to see this stuff on AI, I don't. Sad really there were a LOT of good girls there with great voices and this is what they go with. At least I can look forward to seeing a few girls I know are good in Hollywood, they didn't make the opening show but they have some pipes and Im hoping to see them soon enough!

13. Emily Hughes looks like a young Dyan Cannon. I hope she makes it with her ankle bracelet.

14. Hah. I am not surprised if AI kept her on for a bit so they can get ratings and... Ankle braclet monitor is not sexy! Bad influence for young kids.
