Looks like FOX wasn't doing their homework....After finding out about his criminal past, it looks like Corey is the next to be booted from the American Idol team. From Entertainment Tonight:

'AMERICAN IDOL' CLARK EXPELLED
March 31, 2003 | The latest "American Idol" controversy has resulted in the expulsion of finalist COREY CLARK. FOX released a statement Monday afternoon saying, "Corey withheld information about a prior arrest which, had it been known, might have affected his participation in the show." The high-profile FOX show runs a routine background check on all participants, but due to "an error in a police report which misspelled Corey's name, the incident was not discovered."

Clark has been charged by the Shawnee County, KS, District Attorney's office with three misdemeanors, including the battery and criminal restraint of his 15-year-old sister. A third count of resisting arrest has also been levied against him. The charges stem from an October incident during which neighbors allegedly called Topeka police after hearing a girl yelling inside the Clark home. After both were questioned separately, Clark was allegedly forcibly placed under arrest. According to the Smoking Gun website, Clark is scheduled to appear in court April 15 and two of his sisters are listed on the prosecution's potential witness list.

Unsure about who his replacement will be...could they bring back Julia or Charles? Could they have a wild-card showdown of past performers to have an extra member? Also, with Joshua's departure possibly coming soon, doesn't it seem that the good Lord wants FOX's programming to have a bad sweeps?
