Sierra not going to Pasadena rehab

Tampa, Fla -- 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.
