As much as we think Antonella Barba can’t sing, we really want her to stay on the show for another week. Not because we think she’s sexy, though she is. Not because we like watching her perform, because we don’t. Here’s the skinny:
Celebrity writers love it when something hot breaks. We loved it when Paris got exposed, and we love it even more now that Antonella Barba’s been exposed with her crazy topless naked photos and all that. The internet goes crazy whenever a scandal breaks around someone in the limelight, and as celebrity writers, we love it.
So we’re voting for Antonella Barba tonight. Not because we like her, but because we love her scandal and, according to Google, so do you!
When the bogus blow job pics failed to undermine her American Idol pursuits, Antonella Barba’s shadow dropped this new flick of the soon-to-be “Idol” castoff playing the role of naughty schoolteacher vixen.
If the boys threw it down Tuesday, than the girls picked it up and shoved it up their asses Wednesday night, because they were fucking great. Well, some of them were great. To be exact, six of them were great and the other four sucked butt. Read the rest of this entry »

The boys were getting a tad mushy this week, dedicating their performances to people in their lives who inspire them.
Phil Stacey was the first to go on, and he sent his version of “I Ain’t Missin’ You” to his buddies in the Navy Band Southeast. He said that he enlisted after 9-11, and somehow ended up singing in the Navy Band … not in Iraq. Well, good for him. Anyway, Phil’s looking more casual this week and avoided the cheesy rocker-kicks, so I found him less annoying. But that very naked head-and-face of his still gives me the skeevies. It wasn’t a strong vocal performance, but it didn’t totally suck either. It was nice, but the original song is so fucking great only a real powerhouse could top it, and Phil is no powerhouse.
Next up was Jared Cotter, looking smooth in a sharp suit. He tried his hand at Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” and dedicated it to … his mom and dad? Ooh, that’s a bit creepy-weird. Read the rest of this entry »
It appears that the naughty flicks of Antonella Barba blowing some guy while sporting a Kool-Aid stain on her tongue aren’t photos of the “American Idol” finalist. While it appears that the Jersey native was still posing nearly ass naked atop the World War II Memorial in the Washington, the alleged sex tape cap shots come courtesy of the A.B look-alike featured below.

Antonella Barba at the WWII Memorial Fountain
Two converging lines of evidence are making it clear that American Idol is going all out to keep the Antonella Barba scandal from reaching a boiling point.
The first line of evidence comes from several individuals including PopCrunch reader Stacy who describes the hard-core censoring that’s going on at the American Idol discussion boards:
The American Idol discussion boards are censoring anyone who makes a post commenting that they are offended or outraged by Barba’s behavior. The posts and/or entire threads disappear in a matter of minutes, and going there to say you think she has tarnished the AI show will likely get you banned.
The second line of evidence comes from a variety of celebrity news webmasters who are reporting that their webhosts have received threats to take down recent pictures from either the Barba camp or official American Idol representatives.
So what we have here is an attempt by America’s biggest show to bully its way through the current controversy. Let’s not let them do it.
It turns out that many of the sexy photos taken of Antonella Barba (including the one above) were taken at the WWII memorial. That’s just disgraceful and thoughtless. The irony is that it’s a slap in the face of a real American icon: a memorial that will be around forever representing the people who died for the freedoms that Antonella Barba receives.
But what’s worse is that when Americans complain about Barba, American Idol censors them. American Idol has already been bullying various websites to take down content exposing Antonella Barba, though the great thing about the web is that information gets disseminated so quickly that bullying attempts become futile. Still, American Idol continues to aggressively police its discussion forums. According to PopCrunch reader Stacy:
The American Idol discussion boards are censoring anyone who makes a post commenting that they are offended or outraged by Barba’s behavior. The posts and/or entire threads disappear in a matter of minutes, and going there to say you think she has tarnished the AI show will likely get you banned.
So a TV show that bears the name of America seems to want to cover up the fact that one of it’s contestants did soft-porn shots at a major, federal, American landmark dedicated to dead men and women who died protecting our country.
How ironic.
Antonella Barba: a sweet, shy Jersey girl who America can love?
Ok. By now you probably know that there is a brewing scandal surrounding Antonella Barba of American Idol 2007 fame. But why the controversy? Read the rest of this entry »
The results shows usually irritate me, because the producers have this annoying habit of dragging them out to an excrutiating length of time. Seriously, these shows could take 10 minutes. But they don’t. Sometimes, if we’re lucky and a really good show is next on Fox, they last 30 minutes. But this one was an entire hour.
And that entire hour consisted mostly of bullshit. We did find out the celebrity coaches that will be helping out our Top 12 (Diana Ross, Jon Bon Jovi, J. Lo, Gwen Stefani, Tony Bennett, Martina McBride, a couple of Herman’s Hermits, and a solo BeeGee, Barry Gibb), and Fantasia showed up to plug her upcoming role in the Broadway version of The Color Purple. She also sang a song from the show, and blew me away all over again. I was harshly reminded of why she won: because she fucking rocks. It’s like she showed up to let everyone know “This is what it takes to win American Idol, bitches!” Read the rest of this entry »
