Antonella Barba Will Not Be Disqualified from American Idol for Racy Photos

American Idol contestant Antonella Barba is making waves on the Internet, and they're not sound waves.

Antonella Barba is at the top of the Technorati.com popular list because of racy and pornographic photos that have been leaked. There is obviously more to Antonella Barba than the good-girl image she portrays for
Antonella Barba Will Not Be Disqualified from American Idol for Racy Photos
American Idol.

Antonella Barba, 20, is from Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Antonella Barba is a student, and according to her American Idol profile, she will return to school if she does not make it on American Idol.

According to her biography on American Idol, she prays before each performance, her idol is Walt Disney, and if she wins Idol she will first thank God.

The recently available photos were thought to have been leaked by a former boyfriend of Antonella Barba, or by a former "BFF," that's best friend forever.

The photos in question are of Antonella Barba in partial states of undress, and in others she is suggestively wearing a see-through and sometimes wet white bodysuit.

There are also some other more hardcore photos circulating, supposedly of Antonella Barba performing fellatio. Friends and family members are reportedly saying the photos are not of Antonella Barba.

Apparently, Fox is not too concerned about any of the photos.

Fox official, Producer Nigel Lythgoe, said on Inside Edition that Antonella Barba will not be disqualified.

"It won't affect anything, Antonella is about her looks and her talent and that's the only thing that will affect her journey on American Idol," Lythgoe said on Tuesday's Inside Edition.

No official word from the camp of Antonella Barba, whose My Space profile is mysteriously sparse except for one photo and invitation to watch her on Fox's American Idol.

Some people are incredibly offended because these suggestive photos were taken at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. People are commenting on LiveJournal and elsewhere that taking partially nude photos at this location is disrespectful.

"I didn't care before, but this is just crass and disrespectful," one LJ visitor said.

Voltare - I don't have a problem with this girl, or with sex. I was just reporting on what others were saying. Actresses are not shunned, yet others do refuse to do nudity. If this were a guy, would AI have a different POV? We are just a pornographic culture, and this is more proof.

I think that she should be disqualified. What makes her so special I've been watching american idol since season2 and all the other idols who had criminal recods and sexy photos,tapes,movies etc.has been disqualifie so why should she stay in the competition.the girl can't even sing I think she tried out for the wrong TV show maybe she should be doing porn!its not fair that she's still walking her little skinny ass around on the stage sounding like a sheep with her porn try-out pic's all over the news and internet. Kick her ass off and keep the show rolling,I thought this was a family show? Come on American Idol you're losing viewres and I'm one of them!

Hell yes! That is what I call a true American Idol. Super hot; likes to pose naked and has a beautiful voice! I'd hit it!

And yet, Michael, nudity does seem to matter - because this issue is all over the web. At least nudity of young, nubile females is of interest, anyway, on sites like Technorati, Yahoo! Buzz. As long as nudity and displays of sex remain commodities, this type of thing will continue to be on everyone's mind and at the top of our collective Internet searches.

"Friends and family 'mebers'...", have no reason to be concerned. "Friends" should know their friend is in the American Idol race so that she may become a Hollywood celebrity, and the second rule in Hollywood is: "Any publicity is good publicity". Furthermore, "mebers"; whatever they are; are certainly too new to the family circle, to be raising dust over anything. Some of us had actually believed nudity might not even be an issue, by the 21st century. John Lennon and Yoko got naked back in the Sixties, attempting to open doors to higher understanding. Its too bad that, forty years later, our collective, social, herd consciousness is still stubbing it's toe on pebbles such as: naked human beings, racial equality, inter-racial couples, the war-or-peace Q+A, and whether we might actually be collectively destroying our finite bio-system. Perhaps there are more pressing concerns, more pressing than making parts of the body taboo. It seems the more outrage is generated by "nudity" or the us

Yes, Erica, it should be BFF not BBF. Best Friend Forever......but here is it really "Best Backstabbing Friend"?

I think Amanda, the best friend, actually started this circulation of photos. She seems really arrogant and sneaky. They should investigate this. Amanda, if you are reading this, you are just mad because you are not on the show, you cant sing and you are a slut!!! Oh and I dont think Antonella should be on the show either.

I think she should be kicked off. That is not fair. Frenchie did the same thing, she got kicked off. She could REALLY sing. I think they are allowing her to stay because she is attractive. If you notice, since she has been on the show, all they are saying is how gorgeous she is. This is a contest based on singing, not based on looks. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Please dont vote for Antonella. She should be gone, plain and simple!!
