Nikki Blonsky gave Entertainment Tonight her first interview since her arrest last month. (Nikki‘s family had an all-out brawl with former America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden‘s family at a Turks and Caicos airport.)

The 19-year-old actress says her friends and family have been there for her through it all, including her Hairspray castmates: “They have all been extremely supportive. We are a tight-knit family. We’re just happy to be back together. My family is my life. The best gift that I’ve even been given is my parents.”

Nikki says co-star Zac Efron has been a special source of strength for her, “I love him with every inch of my body and soul. He has been an amazing support system.”

Nikki is currently preparing her nightclub debut at Feinstein’s in New York City that will run from September 23rd to October 4th. Her special performance will feature songs from Broadway, the Great American Songbook and pop classics.

Nikki Blonsky‘s dad Carl Blonsky has been released from police custody, reports ET.

Last week, Hairspray‘s Nikki Blonsky, 19, and her dad got into a tussle with America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden and her mom. Originally, Carl Blonsky was denied bail and would have had to remain in custody.

Carl, who’s been locked up in a Turks and Caicos islands jail for over a week, was freed after posting $3000 bail awarded to him by the Chief Justice on Monday morning. He was charged with grievous bodily harm, which carries a maximum punishment of five years. Despite posting bail, he must remain on the island and his travel documents are in police custody.

Nikki and Bianca were both charged with assault and were both released on $6,000 bail while Carl is due to appear in court on August 19 at 9:00 a.m.

Nikki Blonsky‘s father has been denied bail and will remain in the slammer in Turks and Caicos until the trial begins on Aug. 19 according to Star.

The judge ruled that Nikki‘s father Carl is a foreigner and is a potential flight risk.

The brawl happened on July 29th after the Blonsky family were involved in a conflict with America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden.

DO YOU THINK the judge should have granted Blonsky’s dad bail — YAY or NAY?

Hairspray‘s Nikki Blonsky recently got into a tussle with America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden and her mom.

According to E!, however, sources say that they were not shocked that the rumble went down. “I’m just surprised it hadn’t happened sooner,” the source says. “Her mom is so obnoxious and difficult.”

The source also claimed that Nikki flaked out on a promise to sing at the Palm Springs Film Festival last year. “She said she would sing ‘Good Morning Baltimore,’ ” the source said. “But at the last minute, she said she was too ill to perform.”

So ill that, “Nikki was well enough to jump into her chauffeured Town Car with her mom to go eat at places like Jack in the Box!” said the source.

Nikki has been busy recording her debut album. “It’s something I really want to nurture,” the 19-year-old actress has said. “My album will probably be a mix of Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, and Sheryl Crow meets a little Linda Eder. You can expect everything from horns to electric guitars, a mix of big band with a bit of rock-n-roll.”

She added, “Unlike a movie, it’s not written for you, so I want to make sure it’s something that really comes from my heart. When I’m ready to release it, you bet I’ll be releasing it in style.”

UPDATE: Nikki was fighting with former America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden, reports TMZ. Nikki was saving five seats for her family in a lounge, and Bianca‘s family wanted to sit. Both sides of the family then proceeded to yell and curse at each other. One member of the Golden team actually bit Nikki‘s foot!!!! Ouch.
