I absolutely agree.... she is a gorgeous girl. And who ever keeps posting these pictures should be ashamed of themselves. Whether it be bc your jealous or just a #####..... grow up and let her live her life. Those are personal pictures. Why let the world see them? Would you like her to do the same to you if you had the same talent that she does??

Yep...I'm up late and was crusing around....

This site has all the fountain, american beauty, nudity, etc. shots...so it is not PG-13.

PM me if you want the link.

Since the pictures were X-rated I did not want to post it but someone did below if you want to look at them.

I think there's a difference between her taking private pictures with her boyfriend and frenchie posing for a porn site, and I think it would be really dumb if she got kicked off because her boyfriend is an #####, she should last long enough to be voted off for being a terrible singer, not kicked off for something dumb like that.

Signature given to me by tribephyl in an attempt to make me less boring.

She doesn't have as good a voice as many of the contestants that did not make it into the top 24...so they wanted her on the show for some reason. Problem is do we really...REALLY...need another out of control self-appointed "star" running around? I think not. Get her out of the contest and somebody in her life please get her back under control before she ends up in rehab.

She should resign. If she doesn't AI needs to boot her pronto.

I don't care about the explicit pics, that's her personal choice. (although surely a really bad choice)

What I do care about is her taking tasteless pics splashing in the fountain at the WWII National Monument.

She broke the law by entering that pool, and she showed no respect for the millions of people that lost a friend or family member in that war. You just don't go there.

This goes beyond tasteless.

No nudity but they show that they are faked by someone named Amanda....There is another link to who Amanda is at the bottom of the page.....I thought her oobies looked different but you can't compare those. Now are the rest of the pictures real with her friends, in the fountain, and alcohol - underage drinking?

Edit: Amanda is her best friend who auditioned with her....ouch....with friends like that....there is a bunch on her up on Youtube

Think about this: How would a parent of a tween child feel knowing they accidentally stumbled upon some sexually explicit photos (we all know how easy this is to do) of Barba? The newest photos must have just materialized, because what I saw on Hollywood Grind (just put in a google search for Hollywood Grind Antonella Barba) was explicit & sad (particularly for her). I try not to judge Barba - she should be able to do whatever she wants in the privacy of her own bed - however, to even be considered as one of America's idols is just another sad indicator of where our moral values as a society stand: The last thing we American's need is more scandal & more despicable, so-called, role models for our kids (Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Mary Kate Olsen, etc., etc., etc.). She needs to bow out and they need to bring the other singer on board. If this were anything other than American Idol, I would say, as an adult, who really cares(?): Unfortunately, with as many kids that watch this show, the producers need to nip this in the bud, before parents re-think the show's value.

Ahhhh....see post 18.....

go to http://www.hollywoodgrind.com/?p=4707 and see for yourself. Warning - do not let your children near the computer!

Yes...I've seen the pictures but if you go to the link in my post 18 you'll see that the ear of the girl in the picture is not Antonella's. Plus they have other pictures of the girl in pictures and you can see her face clearly and it's not her. Plus her oobies but that my observation.

On many counts, AB is a poor role model. She's broken the law with her underage drinking and tresspassing in the fountain. Shown disrepect for the war dead to whom this fountain was dedicated. And, posed in sexually suggestive photos that children could come across on the internet. Yes, she should be replaced by one of the many, better singers the judges passed up in her favor.

Many of the photos aren't even her.

My relatives fought in wars, incl. The Big One, and I am sure that they would not mind if she took photos for her boyfriend there.

If she gets booted off of the show, it should not be for fake pictures that some hater doctored and put on the Internet.

By the way, I don't think that she sings that well. I do think that this attempt to undermine her is unconscionable.

>>Many of the photos aren't even her.<<

Actually, most of them are her.

Only the handful of WORST photos are being disputed. (Yes if you go by freckles, No if you go by ears, and as said above - can't go by oobies - doesn't work.)

My personal opinion? I don't think the very mild girls-gone-wild photos are horrifying - nor do I think the 'calendar' pics are worth a burning at the stake (tacky? ohmyyes). I'm not even going to consider the other ones here...BUT

AI is a brand, and a "Family" brand at that. If they decide to boot her because she doesn't follow brand guidelines, I'll be ok with that.

If they decide to let her continue to compete - I'll be ok with that too -- but don't expect her to hang around for long. Not only is she a crap singer, but she's crossed from Marianne, straight through Ginger, and into Paris territory. She's toast.

Do you consider the doctored photos, if the actually are any, an attempt to underrmine her? Or, do you think, as I'm beginning to, she's undermining herself with her song choices?

In general I think she sucks - she picks bad songs & she doesn't sing them well. She also seems to be oblivious to this - witness her insane comments about Jennifer Hudson. So she's bad, and stupid.

Of course, we also know she's stupid for leaving naked pictures of herself around in this day & age. Someone her age should know that any digital pics laying around are just begging to be uploaded somewhere.

As for the "doctored" photos, I don't think they ARE doctored. However, it's not certain it's actually her. Some say it's a different woman from a netporn site.

But - an article on RNO brings up a good point - no one - NO ONE has come forward to say they're not her. (well, Amanda did - but really, where are her parents? The boyfriend (or ex)?)

In fact, AI peeps said things like this - Seacrest: "...These things, they were taken at a time that a private moment. It was something between her and somebody close to her. It was meant for them and not for us..."

And David Bloomberg said: "Seacrest must have been talking about the worst of the photos when mentioning the “private moment,” because the others of her drunk, topless, and/or posing in seductive positions were obviously not “private moments” – some of them occurred on a beach with several friends, for example. The fact that Seacrest referenced the “private moment” photos does bring up the question of whether the Idol powers that be believe those photos to be real."

see the whole article here: http://www.foxesonidol.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=1&article=article2042.art&page=1

the photos should not be the issue.

Her lousy singing should be the issue.

By my lights, she should go tonight, along with Haley. I'll be surprised if this is how it pans out.

This poor girl. ugh.
