A source “close to Sierra’s family” claims the former American Idol fourth-season finalist is no longer pregnant, TMZ.com reported Tuesday. However the source could not confirm exactly what happened with Sierra’s pregnancy, which was revealed in December. The baby’s father was reportedly a rap artist.

The 22-year-old Tampa, FL-native is currently serving a yearlong stint at an in-house drug treatment facility in California — followed by three years probation — for disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest without violence and probation violation charges that stemmed from a December arrest.

Last month, Hillsborough County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Perry asked Sierra’s lawyer — John Fitzgibbons — about her pregnancy and if it would impact her treatment at California’s Pasadena Recovery Center.

“Their professionals know how to handle this,” Fitzgibbons told Perry. “It’s not unusual for them.”

Sierra is currently one of the subjects documented in VH1’s new Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew reality series, which follows David Drew “Dr. Drew” Pinsky as he chronicles the detoxification and treatment of several celebrities.

In addition, a sex tape starring Sierra — titled Jessica Sierra Superstar — was released last week by Vivid Entertainment.

Disgraced former “American Idol” contestant Jessica Sierra will not be going to the Pasadena Recovery Center for treatment of her addictions as planned.

Sierra was released from a Florida jail Wednesday and was due to fly to California to begin her court-ordered, one-year stay at the well-known rehab, however, Tampa prosecutor Pam Bondi told TMZ.com the California Department of Probation has denied treating Sierra as an “emergency transfer,” so she didn’t get on the plane.

Sierra, who is reportedly pregnant, is slated to appear in court in Tampa Thursday to determine where she will go next.

The 22-year-old singer was arrested Dec. 1 in Ybor City, Fla., after she allegedly went on a drunken rampage, violating her probation for an April drug and battery incident.

She will soon be seen on the VH-1 reality TV show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” which she taped before her Dec. 1 arrest.

A Florida judge reportedly ordered former “American Idol” contestant Jessica Sierra to spend a year in a California drug treatment facility.

Sierra, 22, was arrested Dec. 1 in Ybor City, Fla., after she allegedly went on a drunken rampage, violating her probation for an April drug and battery incident.

Tampa, Fla., Judge Daniel Perry said he had reservations about allowing Sierra to undergo treatment at the Pasadena Recovery Center, the Tampa Tribune reported.

“I don’t want this to be some stepping stone for her to have a career as a recovering addict,” Perry said.

The judge also banned Sierra, who will soon be seen on the reality TV program “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,” from doing interviews during her recovery, the newspaper said.

Addiction expert Drew Pinsky told the judge he thought the yearlong treatment would give Sierra a better chance for recovery than she could have gotten from the “low-level” treatment she received on his VH-1 show, which Sierra taped before her Dec. 1 arrest.

Jailed former “American Idol” finalist Jessica Sierra is reportedly pregnant in Florida.

TMZ.com cited sources who said the baby’s father is a rap artist and Sierra is happy to be expecting.

Sierra, 22, is in the infirmary in Florida’s Falkenburg Road Jail and has been placed on a “pregnancy diet,” the report said.

The singer, who will soon be seen on the TV reality series “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” is facing two misdemeanor charges of disorderly intoxication and obstructing or opposing an officer, and two felony counts of possession of cocaine and battery, TMZ.com said.

She was arrested after she allegedly went on a drunken rampage at a nightclub earlier this month.

After pleading no contest to charges of felony battery and drug possession last month, the singer was sentenced to 12 months’ probation and random drug testing.

The alleged behavior that led to her most recent arrest reportedly violates the terms of her probation.

Troubled singer Jessica Sierra has pleaded not guilty to violating her probation by getting arrested after an alleged drunken rampage outside a Florida bar.

Sierra was ordered Thursday to remain in jail until at least her next court hearing Dec. 20, MyFox Tampa reported.

The 22-year-old former “American Idol” contestant was arrested early Saturday morning by Tampa Police who say she was kicked out of the Full Moon Saloon, and then became combative once she got outside.

Police records indicate Sierra was intoxicated when she engaged in verbal and physical altercations with other patrons, hit two police officers and tried to escape when taken into custody.

Sierra is also accused of being verbally abusive to police, who claim she offered sexual favors in exchange for her release.

She was later charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence.

The singer was previously sentenced to 12 months probation after she pleaded no contest last month to cocaine possession and felony battery for hitting a man with a glass at Hyde Park Cafe in April.

Sierra entered a California rehabilitation facility in July and her progress was documented on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” due to air early next year.
