Is American Idol Contestant Nicci Nix a Fake??

Remember the helium girl that got a golden ticket to Hollywood when she claimed to have flown all the way from Florence, Italy to Denver to audition for American Idol?  Well, rumor has it, she's not who she says she is.  Videos and photographic evidence inside!

Nicci Nix impressed the American Idol judges when she bounced in the audition room with a high pitched, Italian accented voice claiming to have flown all the way to Denver from Florence, Italy.

 But, TMZ and several other cites are reporting that Nicci, who also goes by Nicci Palmeri, has also been on several other reality tv shows including, "Fear Factor," "Making the Band," "Next," "Exposed," and "Date My Mom." And get this, not only does she go by a different name, but she also doesn't speak with that helium voice!

She even has some videos floating around Youtube...

SMH....I wonder if American Idol is going to kick her off the show now.....
