The New American Idol

 

You can clearly see nipples and hooch in the full-size picThis nice young lady is Antonella Barba. She is currently a contestant on the sixth season of American Idol. She is also the subject of photos that have spread across the Internet like wildfire. Apparently some people find these photos titillating (you can make out MUCH more detail in the full-size pics). Including me!

During the audition episodes we met Antonella and her best friend. Right away Simon Cowell said, "Gosh you two must be popular." The producers then treated us with a montage of Antonella and her buddy romping around a beach in their bikinis. It was quite nice at the time, but we couldn't have imagined the treats Antonella had in store for us. She and her little buddy were also shown gloating when a squeaky-clean little teen from Oklahoma, Bailey Brown, got axed from their group. Then Antonella's mean-spirited little buddy didn't make the Top 24, but Antonella did, and then within two weeks we get these photos.

The photos are rumored to have been for a calendar meant for an old boyfriend, and I'm sure Ms. Barba and her parents are hiding under their couch from embarrassment now that they're in my possession, as well as that of the rest of the country. But I think they should come out from under the couch! Being a star in the real world depends on some sex appeal, and Ms. Barba -- YOU GOT IT!

In locating these, eh, artistic photos I ran across some comments about them over on Free Republic. Of course over there the discussion isn't about how fetching she looks in a wet T-shirt, but that the photos were made in a Washington, D.C. fountain dedicated to fallen veterans. Hey, if I was a vet I'd be flattered! Why is it if she came onstage at a USO show with Bob Hope vets would be expected to hoot n' holler, but if she takes a dunk in a fountain she's a villain? Count on Republicans to bypass the love and look for the war.

Call the contest off, we have a winner!

The real scandal is that while Antonella remains on the show and will undoubtedly get offered alot of $$$ to pose nude after all is said and done, the evil, racist, Fox networks shun the full figured, African American talent 'Frenchie' for the same offense.

Typical chickenshit republican scumbag hypocrites. I just know somehow GW Bush was behind all of this! If the Bush crime family can rig the 9-11 attacks to look like we were attacked by foreigners, they could surely force the big and beautiful sistah to quit the show before she wins the whole she bang.

Keep up the good work, Art!

Give 'em hell!

DListed and some of the other gossip sites said that the girl in the clip was not the girl on AI.

The people who follow this stuff said the difference between Frenchie and this current singer was that Frenchie posed willingly for money. This girl apparently had a boyfriend who sold the footage... but it wasn't even Antonella. (This from the wag sites... I don't follow the Idol stories unless they go mainstream.)

Bush league? That's what I'm saying. I could make out some bush in that particular pic.

Vermont, you're confused. There's a particluar set of a girl that looks idenitcal to Antonella giving a BJ that are the ones who's authenticity is questioned. The others: the topless beach with her hands over her breasts, the party pics, the lingerie pics and the dozen of her in a wet T-shirt in a fountain are all her, and it's confirmed by her friends. Only the BJ pics are questioned, and even those seem damn credible.

I don't follow AI stories until C-cups in wet T-shirts are involved.

Why do I think "Jerome" is someone playing with me? Oh, well. Maybe Jerome is a playa! Hello, Jerome.

I don't know what they're expecting on these cross country Idol auditions. The producers should check for a drug/jail/porn background but after that it's going to be tough to find a squeaky clean kid.

I'd say don't pose in a memorial fountain and don't take money for sex... Frenchie did strip for money (and for god's sake did we even want an Idol with the first name of Frenchie?).

Forget the Idol scandals. Look at this guy who mowed down the second floor of one of your malls. Then he tried escaping through the food court.

What up... bad day.

I threw that "bush league" line in just for you, buddy. :)
