What's Up with the Twins?

So by now everybody knows the story of the twins on American Idol, Darrell and Tarrell. Word on the street is that they allegedly stole someone's identity to steal a car to get to the AI auditions. Big story over the weekend, but then it died. What I'm wondering is, is it really true? Normally AI stories hang on longer than the war in Iraq, so I'm thinking maybe we've got a fabrication (reminds me of some fine fake handbags that, um, a "friend of mine" got in Chinatown last year). Has anyone heard anything?
