Nikki McKibbin attempts to make a livin'.

Like cockroaches and fellow finalist Justin Guarini, it’s proven pretty hard to keep season one American Idol contestant Nikki McKibbin down. Between appearances in the Battle of the Network Reality Stars and E! Entertainment’s reality horror movie The Scorned, Nikki also managed to record her first official single, now available on her website, www.nikkimckibbin.com, reports TV Guide.

For a mere $9.95 plus shipping and handling, you’ll get a CD with not one, but two Nikki McKibbin songs, three if you count that one song has two versions – The Lie (Radio mix and Clan mix) and To Be With You. You also get a DVD that features footage of Nikki in the studio and Nikki behind-the-scenes making her album, er, I mean, single (in case you haven’t gotten enough of her through her participation in various post-Idol reality programming). But you’ll have to hurry – this is a special, limited-edition offer. And something tells me it won’t be available for download on iTunes anytime soon.
