Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe says he has not seen any of the Internet pictures, and only learned of the sexually explicit shots from EW. & We have really good background checks on everybody, and we deal with that every season, he says. & Its sad, isnt 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?

I think they will get rid of her, but it will be interesting to see what happens with her. Personally the pictures were done on her own time and not sold to anyone for profit (before she was on American Idol) and I think she should stay. What do you think?
