Antonella Barba
News (Page 2)

Obviously, most of the Antonella Barba pictures floating around the Internet are real. The American Idol contestant is posing for a majority of them.

However, there are especially lewd photos of Barba that our website has not printed out of concern for public decency. You may view them at TheHollywoodGossip.com by clicking here if you'd like.

New evidence now suggests that these pictures are phony, though. We have no idea who's behind the American Idol: CSI team mentioned below, but it appears to have conducted some research into this affair. Judge for yourself.

Once this blows over, we hope fans can return to the heart of the show and focus on the vocal talents of hopefuls such as Barba, Lakisha Jones and Phil Stacey.

For now, Antonella Barba remains on American Idol.

Viewer feelings seem to be mixed about whether or not she ought to continue on the show after a few topless pictures surfaced.

Below, however, we've uncovered NEW Antonella Barba pictures. She isn't nude, but she's posing provacatively. Will such decisions force the hand of American Idol producers? Might this singer be booted off for reasons other than her lack of vocal talent? Only time will tell ...

American Idol may be singing competition. But it's the looks - and actions - of a certain contestant that's earning the show major attention these days.

Indeed, Antonella Barba photos are creating quite the stir. Does the topless singer deserve to remain in the competition? Producer Nygel Lythgoe recently commented on the situation:

''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?''

Yes, it is sad. More pics of Antonella Barba has surfaced, as well. We don't wanna place them here in case kids are viewing, but you can find them for yourself. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Lakisha Jones or Melinda Doolittle?

Chris Sligh or Blake Lewis?

This season of American Idol has produced debates and controversy already - but none more so than the Antonella Barba pictures that have surfaced on the Internet.

The New Jersey native is topless ... but covered up. She's young and having fun ... but a little too much?

Readers have left numerous comments, sharing their feelings.

We appreciate all views, ask you to keep it clean and are here to present a few more pics of Antonella from her past.

Again, we're not here to judge - we'll leave that up to Simon, Paula and Randy. We just wish to provide fans with all the information we can:

 

There's good news for Fantasia Barrino: the American Idol winner will perform on the stage that made her famous tonight.

But there's bad news for Antonella Barba supporters: she seems to be the most likely to get the boot.

The beautiful singer didn't impress anyone with her rendition of "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith last night. Randy Jackson said: "I have to keep it real, it was really pitchy ... real bland."

And, as you'd expect, Simon Cowell was even harsher:

"The good news is you're an attractive girl; the bad news is it didn't work. It (the song) was way, way, way too big for you."

Of course, the judges have been wrong before. Viewers now have full control over who goes and who stays. Still, Barba backers better heat up those phone lines if they wish to see her last another week.

Remember Frenchie Davis, American Idol watchers?

Those that do pretty much only recall this contestant as the singer that got disqualified for posing in her lingerie years before the competition.

Antonella Barba hopes she doesn't become a similar victim.

Pictures of the semi-finalist have surfaced on the Internet. We're not judging, just presenting them to fans so they can have an idea of what we're talking about.

Antonella is second from the right. Could she follow Akron Watson out the door? Or will producers give the girl a break? She is covering up, after all...
