Hot Goss American Idol v. the Braddy Bunch: 'Rickygate' Is Mysterious
Posted by Steve Haruch on Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 4:59 PM
The same source that tipped Cream off that Ricky Braddy would be a finalist on American Idol now shares details on "Rickygate." Apparently, the Belmont grad's fan site was issued a cease-and-desist order by the FOX network and taken down. Then moved. Then a mysterious anonymous comment appeared on Noop Dogg's site, explaining FOX's position. Weird!

2nd... 2/18/09 (6:30 pm) - Site goes down! With clues leading fans to Joe's Place Blog.
3rd... 2/19/09 (afternoon) - Riddle is provided to Joe's Place Blog leading fans to www.missingsquare.com.
4th... 2/19/09 (afternoon) Vote For the Worst publishes story.
5th... 2/20/09 (early morning) An anonymous comment is placed on Anoop Desai's FanSite in reply to a story they put on their site about The Braddy Bunch.
6th... 2/20/09 (morning) Post is added in response to the Anonymous posting on Anoopdog.com at www.missingsquare.com.
7th... 2/20/09 (morning) Another post is added about RICKYGATE at Joe's Place Blog.
NOW... we're left scratching our heads... hoping that Ricky will be granted a spot in the Top 12 through a WILDCARD during week 4 of American Idol.
Crazy, huh? Why would they care so much about Ricky if they were going to send him home the same day?
I don't know. I just don't know!

My guess is that the website was taken down because it was given during the show on Tuesday. I'm sure it was not intentional, but I think his mom gave it after he sang.
IMO, Ricky was by far the best on Tues!!!!
