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 »
Let me make it clear, that by “big girls” I’m not talking about physical size, I’m talking about vocal size. And from last night’s showing, some of our girls got big-ass voices.
Stephanie blasted off with a smooth, strong performance of Alicia Keys’ “How Come You Don’t Call Me.” Steph looked classy and elegant in a satiny dress, but threw down her performance with no fear, actually dropping to her knees at one point without missing a beat. This gal truly sparkled.
I don’t know if anyone could hold up following that, but Amy Krebs definitely did not. As a member of the “generic girl foursome,” she made no impression whatsoever. Her dress was okay, breezy-like, but there was nothing about her that stood out. Her version of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” was a yawner.
The first thing that struck me about Leslie Hunt during her time onstage was her dull yet weird outfit. Read the rest of this entry »
Gwen Stefani dines out at the upscale Chuen Cheng Ku Chinese Restaurant. Gwen is rumored to be scheduled for a March 28th performance on “American Idol.”
Well, tonight kicked off the audience voting portion of AI 2007, with the top 12 guys jumping onstage to do their thing. First up was Rudy “of the blazers” and he was indeed sportin’ another one tonight. Looked like a denim/tweed concoction this week. However, I found it a bit odd that in addition to the blazer, he wore another jacket underneath, plus his bulls-eye t-shirt. A bit chilly in there perhaps? Anyway, Rudy succeeded in performing the gayest version of “Free Ride” ever. It was a bit shocking with all the crotch-pumping and swinging arms. Wasn’t he the one who sang Journey at his audition? Well, if he is gay that’s fine by me, but he may want to cut back on gaying-up 70’s rock songs in the future, lest he risk a massive backlash of homophobic 70’s stoner rock fans.
Brandon sounded good singing “Rock With You,” and looked adorable too. He did background vocals for J. Tim, Christina, and Usher? Hmm, impressive. He seems real down-to-earth for having that kind of experience, which is very cool. The beginning of his song was slow and sexy, then he got his groove going. Nothing amazing, but a very nice job.
Oh for Christ’s sake, Sundance was a giant fucking mess all over again. Read the rest of this entry »

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our Top 24! I was happy to note that the producers chose to show all of the contestants as they sat in the judgment chair, so at least I had an idea of what the hell must have happened during the group auditions that we didn’t get to see.
I saw quite a few people get kicked off who I didn’t know or care much about, but I’ll give a quick rundown anyway for those readers who may actually give a shit.
· Bernard Williams
· Eric Davis
· Thomas Lowe
· Jerome Chism
· Joelle James
· 3 random-looking girls, I didn’t catch their last names, sorry. Olivia, Tatiana, and Monique
However, there were a few homeward bound contestants that I did give a shit about. First, Anna Kearns the 6’4” Amazon. Not that she had the best voice, Read the rest of this entry »
