The Latest on Antonella...

Remember Amanda, Antonella’s best friend who didn’t make it through to Hollywood? She’s sticking up for her friend in the midst of the racy pictures scandal...

It seems that the most X-rated photos (which I won’t describe) are in fact hoaxes and are not Antonella. Amanda says the other racy pictures are Antonella and that they were made for a calendar for an ex-boyfriend. Speculation is that the boyfriend may have released the pictures, though his friends deny it.

Votefortheworst.com is also sticking up for Antonella because it has already chosen her as the worst female singer. You can find their proof that the pictures are not her on the website.

Among the other people championing Antonella’s cause are Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell and—are you ready for this?—Hugh Hefner. Both Ryan and Simon say that it’s the person who released the pictures that they’re worried about and not Antonella. But after looking at the pictures, Hef conceded he might be interested in having Antonella pose for "Playboy." Not sure that really helped her cause…

The notoriety has definitely made Antonella a household name. Last week, she was #1 on the AOL search site—even ahead of Britney’s umbrella tirade.

You may recall that season two’s Frenchie Davis was kicked of the show when topless pictures of her surfaced online. However, those pictures were for an adult website.

We’ll see how “Idol” handles it tonight. My guess is that they’ll totally ignore it…
