20 year old American Idol wannabe, Antonella Barba, has been making waves of news lately with racy pictures of her circulating around the internet. Her being photographed drinking underage are the least embarrassing considering the compromising nature of some of the photographs, which include her sitting on the toilet, giving a bj to some random dude and other numerous topless, wet t-shirt and half naked shots. Some viewers are complaining that Barba’s antics should be reason for expulsion from the show the same way Frenchie Davis from the show’s 2nd season was kicked off when pictures surfaced of her posing topless for a porn site. Executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe made the decision to allow Barba to continue on with the competition stating, he’s “not kicking the Jersey girl off, her fate is in the voters' hands". Also adding, 'We have really good background checks on everybody, and we deal with that every season,'' he says. ''It's sad, isn't it, that your best friends are the ones that come forward with information that will go to Smoking Gun or put your photographs on the web?'' Simon Cowell agreed, remarking “The photos should not affect her standing on the show, and if the public wants to keep her in, they’ll keep her in.”

Unfortunately for her though, the pictures are far from being through. According to an unknown source there is also a nude calendar that she made for an ex-boyfriend that is on its way to claim even more internet fame. Even with all of the negative press and being nicknamed “Bl*wj*b Barba”, Antonella seems to be handling the news with her head held high. And despite her less than stellar singing reviews, one has to wonder how badly this press will actually hurt her American Idol status. Besides almost positively boosting the show’s ratings, she’ll more than likely get a few side offers – if you know what we mean (wink wink).
