American Idol alum Kellie Pickler may not have taken home Best Newcomer at the ACM awards over the weekend, but the country singer attracted more screaming fans and fighting photographers than even the likes of Carrie Underwood and Garth Brooks on the red carpet and backstage. After finishing at No. 6 in the fifth season of the hit reality show, American Idol, Pickler went under the knife last year and emerged with two much larger female assets.

But according to “American Idol” Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe, Kellie should be attributing her burgeoning fanbase to her burgeoning breasts.

“She’s acquired two accoutrements that (naturally) photographers and men love,” Lythgoe explained while preparing for the “American Idol” finale in downtown L.A. earlier this week. “I’m not sure what it cost her, but obviously it was well worth it.”

“It’s been two years since my first record came out. I still have my sassy and girly side, but I’ve been growing a lot — in many more ways than one,” Picker said with a sly smile, motioning to her new breasts. “Let’s just say I feel much more mature now.”- Fox News
