Frenchie Davis vs Antonella Barba
March 6th, 2007 under American Idol 1-5, American Idol 6. [ Comments: 2 ]

 

Before you read her quotes, I have to put my two cents in. I think there is a big difference between the two and I do not think that American Idol made any mistakes how they handled both situations. Frenchie Davis was paid to pose topless for a porn site geared for men who wanted to look at underage girls. Frenchie might have been over 18 at the time of the photos, but the people reading it did not know that. So I am sorry, but Idol did the right thing by dumping her. Also Idol says you can stay as long as you tell them about your past beforehand. She waited until after the she made it to Hollywood until she told them about her photographic past. She should be grateful that Idol even featured her at all because it was her time on Idol that helped to make her the star she is today. Let's be real if she didn't do Idol, she would probably be still be posing for porn sites. Now when it comes to Antonella Barba, she posed for a calendar for her boyfriend and someone posted those pictures online. It was something done for one person and she did not intend for it to go public like it has. Oh and she wasn't paid to do it. And when it comes to the pictures of her with her friends it is a girls will be girls type photos, we were all teens and most of us have a picture like that? If not, you know you secretly wish you did. BTW the pictures of her going down on a guy were proven not to be her. So I have no problem with her staying. 

EuroWeb spoke to Frenchi Davis and she had this to say, "I had stopped watching ‘American Idol’,” Davis admitted, “and I’ve tried to avoid even speaking about or thinking about what happened four years ago. But I couldn’t help but overhear what was happening with Antonella. I couldn’t help but notice the manner in which she was dealt with was the complete opposite of how I was dealt with.” “When I first discovered that I had made it to Hollywood and found out I would be competing to get into the top 30 and then later in the top 12, they had given us all this paperwork to fill out, background checks and that whole thing. So when we were doing that I had a discussion with some members of the production staff and I exposed to them a piece of my past; that when I was 19 years old, I took some pictures and that’s not the person I am [anymore]. I wanted to be upfront about it. We talked about it and then nothing happened,” she said. “They had decided that because ‘American Idol’ was a family show, that they could not have me on the show because of the pictures I had taken – though they had never seen the pictures,” she recalled. “I gave them the benefit of the doubt,” Davis said, resolved during the incident. “And when I learned that pictures had surfaced of this young lady, I didn’t really think anything of it. But when it came out that they had decided they were not going to kick her off the show, that – to say the least – raised an eyebrow.” Fox Network and the producers of “American Idol” could start by "issuing her a public apology and then she would negotiate with them from there."

Today TMZ reported that a bunch of the religious girls are unhappy with her pictures and  been cold to her. I say people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. OK I am done with my two cents…what do you think?

SIAS, Fantasia will sing on Thursday’s American Idol

USA Today's Idol Chatter is reporting that Fatansia Barrino will sing on Thursday's result show. I wonder J Records is doing this a test to see if this will help her sell some more CDs and if doesn't they will drop her?
Another rumor for a potential singer to perform on American Idol 6 is…Jennifer Lopez. American Idol Worship is saying that she will perform on April 11th. No offense to AIW, I just don't believe this one, but she does have her first Spanish album coming out, so maybe she will need to exposure!

Ryan Seacrest has more to say about Angelina Jolie than she had to say to him

E!’s resident red carpet monkey Ryan Seacrest is not pleased with Angelina Jolie giving him the brush-off when he tried to interview her at the Golden Globe Awards Monday night. Seacrest, who was covering the event as part of E!’s pre-show, went off on Jolie on his KIIS-FM radio show in L.A. on Wednesday morning. “I asked her four questions and she didn’t even answer me,” he complained. “I literally stood there and tried to ask a couple of questions. At one point I just kind of let the E! microphone sit in front of her for a second to see if she was going to acknowledge it, and she clearly wanted nothing to do with me or my question or my answer or any of it.” Seacrest was more forgiving of Jolie’s other half, Brad Pitt, who was standing next to her during the interview and did most of the talking. “Brad was fantastic.” The host went on to praise the actress for her charity work, but complained about her dour expression on the red carpet: “I think doing good is fantastic. A lot of people are benefiting around the world from their doing of all of these nobles things. But smile." Cohost Ellen K then came to Angie’s defense saying, "Well, she has said that she finds all these award shows a waste of time and money." "Well then don’t go,” Seacrest shot back. “Don’t go. Don’t go support your man. Don’t go."

Good for him because I thought he handled the situation with class, Joan Rivers would've ripped her a new one. Don't let her get to you Ryan, you are better than that!

An entertainer turns down invite because of Paula Abdul’s erratic behavior?
February 19th, 2007 under American Idol 1-5, Paula Abdul. [ Comments: none ]

Paula Abdul's erratic behavior is keeping organizers of the Nevada Ballet Theatre's Black & White Ball on their toes. At least one major entertainer has declined an invitation to perform over concerns about Abdul's recent train-wreck TV interviews, I'm told. Abdul, the gala's "Woman of the Year" honoree, created a public relations disaster with her slurring and loopy interviews that were intended to promote the sixth season of "American Idol." Instead, she and her reps have been forced to fend off allegations that she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Twice last week, "The View" host Rosie O'Donnell suggested Abdul was drinking before the wacky interviews. Craig Cavileer, co-chair of the Black & White Ball with his wife, Charlene, said Friday that Abdul is "fully committed" to the Nevada Ballet fundraiser. "The New York publicity week was full of headlines but … her executive producer role for the 'Bratz' movie, the new TV show with Bravo and her being honored by 'Project Runway' all seemed to get missed. I wish someone would take the time to focus on some of these items," Cavileer said in an e-mail. As to rumblings that "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry will perform, Cavileer said, "Chris may join us as well as other celebs."

I am still trying to understand why they were honoring her in the first place?

Taylor Hicks the new Ruben Studdard
February 19th, 2007 under American Idol 1-5. [ Comments: none ]

American Idol winner Taylor Hicks is suing his former manager over allegations he is owed 20 percent of the singer's earnings. Hicks, who fired Jan Childs in September 2004 before winning the TV talent contest, insists he doesn't owe a cent because Childs was no longer in his employment when his career took off. In a suit filed earlier this month in Jefferson County, Alabama, Hicks claims their original contract stated that if he didn't get a recording contract during their first year of working together, he had the right to fire him. However, Childs insists their agreement was never terminated, according to MTV. Hicks entered "American Idol" in October 2005 and signed a record and management deal in February 2006.

Who is he going to sue next? This is second suit so far, but the first one was dropped.
