With the new season of American Idol premiering tomorrow, we're guessing producers hope Jessica Sierra just goes away. She doesn't exactly bring positive publicity to the franchise.

And now it does look like the trouble singer is leaving the public spotlight. Sort of. Sierra has entered Pasadena Recovery Center and has started her one-year, court-ordered rehab.

Of course, sources tell TMZ that Dr. Drew Pinsky met with Sierra on Saturday afternoon, as he tries to work with a Florida court to get permission for her to attend group meetings outside the facility. Which he'll probably televise for a reality show.

The singer still faces the uphill battles of her pregnancy, a year in rehab, and Vivid Entertainment's release of a the Jessica Sierra sex tape some time week.
