“American Idol” contestant David Hernandez once entertained audiences by removing his clothes instead of singing tunes, a manager at a male strip club in Phoenix told The Associated Press.
The 24-year-old finalist from Glendale, Ariz., once worked as a stripper at Dick’s Cabaret, appearing fully nude and performing lap dances for the club’s “mostly male” clientele, club manager Gordy Bryan said Monday.
“He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here,” Bryan said.
It’s not clear whether a history as a stripper could disqualify Hernandez from the competition. In 2003, finalist Frenchie Davis was dismissed because of her appearance on an adult Web site; but last year, Antonella Barba remained in the competition after racy photos of her surfaced on the Internet.
Fox spokeswomen Jill Hudson did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment Monday.
According to Bryan, Hernandez steadily worked at the club for three years until September 30, 2007.
“He never renewed his licensing with the state, so he hasn’t been on my roster since then,” Bryan said.
Bryan said he was aware that Hernandez was a vocalist, but that Hernandez never sang at the club. Bryan said he now believes Hernandez stopped working at the club because of his participation in “American Idol.” Hernandez has never been referred to as a stripper or former stripper during the Fox singing competition.
Rumors of a stripper past - along with photos of a scantily clad Hernandez working as a bartender at gay nightclub Burn - were first posted last week on VoteForTheWorst.com, a site that encourages “Idol” viewers to vote for “the bad and truly entertaining contestants.”
“It was like moths to a flame,” said VoteForTheWorst.com founder Dave Della Terza. “As soon as I posted that, we started getting 10, 20 letters every single day from people saying, ‘Yeah, he’s a stripper in Phoenix.’”
Terza and other members of VoteForTheWorst.com community scoured MySpace, Photobucket and other social networking and photo sharing sites to find information and images of Hernandez. Terza said he contacted the club to confirm the Internet chatter, but they never got back to him.
“They said they couldn’t give me a statement before talking to their lawyers,” said Terza.
Hernandez, who originally auditioned for “Idol” in San Diego on July 30, 2007, is in the Fox singing competition’s top 16 contestants. Last week, he earned rave reviews from the judges after his performance of The Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.” He is scheduled to perform with the other male contestants on Tuesday’s show.

So these are the most non-nude, nude pics I have ever seen. Lake Bell is completely naked, yet we can’t see shit. I’ve seen more tits in the Bible. This photographer is a master of reflection and a bane to free porn everywhere. Damn you sir, damn you.

Before this year, it was damn hard to catch a good glimpse of female celebrities’ lady parts. Skirts, dresses, pants, and of course, underwear had stifled my efforts to sneak a peek at some bush. No amount of talking to my computer screen, coaxing and begging in my sweet-as-sugar voice could get them out of hiding. (“Aww, c’mon, just a little a peak for Big Al. Pleeeeeease.â€?) Well, in recent months, young Hollywood has answered my prayers, and the fur–or lack thereof–has been flying. Lips have swayed proudly and freely in the wind, like so many confederate flags along a Georgia country road, and for Big Al it’s been just like Christmas. So last night, with visions of sugar plums and baby-makers dancing in my head, I had a dream. I dreamed-up the salaciously unholy marriage of my two favorite pastimes: ultimate fighting and looking at girls’ cooters. And while gynecological gladiation may exist only in my dreams, the true purposes of any sport is for other people to gamble and argue about who would win, and at least that part of my dream of pussy pugilism can be realized here with the help of y’all.

That’s Jessica Biel and that’s Jessica Biel’s underwear folks. Tuesdays usually suck because, well, they’re Tuesdays, but today is alright because Jessica Biel looks hot with short hair and with her underwear showing. The movie she’s shooting (she’s filming a scene here) is called Powder Blue and it has this riveting yet evocative plot description:
Four desperate individuals intersect in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve. (IMDB)
Booyah! That description just slammed in me the face with awesome, drove right over me and dragged me down the dirt road of exposition, tied me to a fence and left me to die in tagline heaven. If that wasn’t enough to get your action pants on, it looks like Jessica Biel will be wearing a wife beater the whole time. I think I hear Oscar calling. More Jess is under there. Get it?

A rundown look at the most viewed Bumpshack posts from the month of May 2007.

Chris Richardson and Phil Stacey were the latest two contestants to be voted off of American Idol. Last week during American Idol Gives Back no one was voted off. So they averaged the votes from both weeks.
Phil Stacey is from Jacksonville, Florida. His musical influences include Sting, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Paula Abdul, Sheryl Crow and Robbie Williams.
Chris Richardson is from Chesapeake, Virginia. His musical influences include Justin Timberlake, Jason Mraz, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera.
I figured Chris was a goner for sure. Phil was a bit of a suprise after his strong showing over the last three weeks. I would have thought LaKisha Jones would have been voted off before Phil.
It doesn’t really matter as they all will find success on some level after making it this far into the most popular reality TV show ever.
It was super duper nice to see homegirl Antonella Barba in the crowd as the camera panned in to start the show. Bon Jovi sang the most girlie song ever for someone that use to tour with Motley Crue. I hope Vince Neil finds Jon Bon in a club on the Sunset Strip and messes his face up with one of his stripper girlfriend’s high heels.

So yeah. Whatever. I thought my last post Britney Spears topless was going to pay my rent this month like Antonella Barba did last month. However, it turns out that paparazzi photos, or this case, ’stolen from someone who knows Britney’ photos cost 1G a pop. And what me havin’ bitches in tha livin’ room gettin’ on and they ain’t leavin’ till 6 in tha mo’nin’, I gotta hang on to these ends, yo. Anyway, buzzkill rent takers aside, there actually is some shit worth reading on the web today. I’m keeping it to myself though. Fuck you.
More of Jamie Lynn Spears the cantankerous Spears sister. Wait, I meant cankerous.

By now you’ve probably heard about the latest former American Idol contestant to embarrass her family and generally act like a drunken piece of trash, Jessica Sierra. It seems that ole’ Jess got herself into a bit of trouble on Saturday night when she got into a bar fight in Tampa and was found to have some Bolivian marching powder in her purse. She was reportedly abusive to the arresting officers after she threw a cocktail glass at a fellow booze hound.
It appears that since she was kicked off of Idol, Jessica Sierra (porno name, anyone?) has tried to get a record contact and has been WORKING AT HOOTERS. Let’s see: cocaine, alcohol, trampy name, reality show cast-off, and now my favorite delightfully tacky, yet unrefined restaurant. This girl’s life reads like a Mad Libs of American white trash. To complete the sweep, she might as well release a sex tape that was filmed in her single-wide where she smokes Kools and chugs Boone’s Farm straight from the bottle. God bless Tampa, home of 94% of America’s whores, and God bless Jessica Sierra and the plate of curly fries and wings she is currently serving to a trucker.
While I wouldn’t fuck Jessica Sierra with Kelly Clarkson’s dick, I do have a soft spot for the lovely Ms. Carrie Underwood. Something tells me that Carrie’s never donned orange hot pants and a tank top. [Ed. note: Shooter, I just know she has. If there is a a god in heaven…]

Sanjaya is gone folks. I think he actually knew it going into it though. He still balled like a little girl ,so I lost all respect for him. I’m waiting for the Idol castoff that refuses to sing though the tears and decides to fucking show out. For instance, Sanjaya should have kicked Simon right in balls and and bent Paula right over the judges table and long poled her on national TV. I bet that little girl would have really cried then. Plus Paula is high and kinda slutty, so it’s not like she’d put up a fuss. Sanjaya would look at the camera and wink, “I’ll show you a cold hearted snake“.
The one tragedy in all this is that Shyamali and her awesome paper sack brown boobies will no longer be in the audience for DVR fodder. I guess I’ll have to wait for the Olivia Mojica sex tape to come out for my American Idol perv fix. Girlfriend is a freeeeak…LINKS!

It’s a sad Thursday morning today, it just lacks something, some kind of motivation… Oh yeah, ”Amercian Idol’s” Sanjaya Malakar was tearfully sent home last Wednesday night. Now there really isn’t a reason to watch the show.
After his 15 minutes of fame, even though there might be more minutes around the bend, Sanjaya was voted off “Idol” last night. When the decision was announced that he was going home, Malakar wiped off the tears & got a big hug from fellow contestant LaKisha Jones.
“I’m fine,” Sanjaya told Ryan Seacrest.Â
“It was an amazing experience.”
Well, there goes the best part of “American Idol” this season. Wonder why they did it? Don’t they know that he was the only interesting part this time around?
You tell me- Are you devastated that Sanjaya was sent home?

Man that Hayden Panetierre is making me question my rule about underage chicks. Which is: don’t do it. Unless you’re out of town and the bouncers let her in on a fake ID. Speaking of… where the hell is Heroes? I’m interested to see more of that new shapeshifter chick from the Stick it. Yeah, I saw it. Where do you think the girl with the fake ID and I went for our first date? Missy Peregrym (from Stick it, duh)is pretty smokin’ hot in a manly Jessica Biel sorta way. Sometimes I need to be held.

“Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis just loves getting nailed over & over & over again. The entrepreneur was arrested on Tuesday at a Florida airport on loose charges of underage fraternizing.
Now the porntrepreneur, as TMZ so delicately put it, has been indicted on federal tax evasion. When are these damn celebs going to learn? Francis allegedly deducted over $20 million in false receipts from some of his previous tax returns. What a dumbass!
If found guilty of tax evasion, dumbasspants Francis could face up to 10 years in prison as well as about $500,000 in fines. Man, aren’t there any freeking accountants in celeb land? You tell me, should “Girls Gone Wild” creator be nailed for tax evasion?

I only watch American Idol because I’m drunk by 9:00 on any given night and I can’t find my remote so I just watch whatever channel happens to be on. Last night was a so-called “elimination” night where they make everyone cry, then humiliate the eliminated contestant by making them sing while balling their eyes out. Great fun.
So last night, Tony Bennet was supposed to sing, but I guess his sundown syndrome wore off and he fucking never showed up. So they called Michael Bublé to fill in. Apparently the call rang his cell phone at a bar, because as it turns out, Michael was completely drunk and had just done a rail of coke. It was hilarious. He stumbled around on stage and sang like shit and when he was done he asked Ryan Seacrest if he was wasting his vote by still voting for Antonella Barba. Not at Michael. Not. At. All.
Ok. So I know that pic is not of Antonella Barba. But Google shut down my Adsense for those pics in an earlier post. Google is awesome. I want them to fuck me in the ass. Wait they already did.

Front runners LaKisha Jones, Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks continue to be just that on American Idol. Blake Lewis and Chris Richardson were impressive as far as the guys go. Probably the contestant in the most danger tomorrow night will be Haley Scarnato or Phil Stacey.
Blake Lewis- B+ I am not a big Blake fan but I thought he did a pretty good job with the swing classic ‘Mack the Knife’. I thought he had his best fashion style for week. I still believe Blake is the perfect match for Seacrest.
Phil Stacey- A- I am not much of a Phil Stacey fan either but these songs are right up his alley. He did a very impressive job although Randy and Simon seemed to disagree.
Melinda Doolittle- A+ Dr. Doolittle continues to shine and be my favorite. She sang ‘I Got Rhythm’ and Melinda definitely does indeed have rhythm. She is going to be hard to beat.
Chris Richardson- C+ Homeboy Timberlake was a let down this week. I thought he was under appreciated up until this point but tonight he seemed to be over appreciated by the judges in my opinion. I didn’t find it to be horrible but Chris has had better performances.
Jordin Sparks- B+ She is the young prodigy that could shock the world and win American Idol. She reminds me of a young Muhammad Ali (not sure where that came from). They say she is 17 but I think she has a forged birth certificate. She is light years ahead of any 17-year-old I have dated. Her performance was very strong tonight.
Gina Glocksen- D- What the heck was Gina thinking? I think ‘Smile’ is one of my least favorite songs in the world. She tries to be all urban alternative and she came out singing a song by Charlie Chaplin that Michael Jackson covered on HIStory. The tongue ring has to go. Although the rest of her makeover was an upgrade.
Sanjaya Malakar- B- LOL, I am glad I type this as I am watching AI. The pencil thin mustache and white suit about made me fall off the sofa laughing. Not a bad performance by Hairjaya. I found his vocals to be pretty good, he danced with Paula and he pimped a white suit….what could be better than that? He also got a hair cut and straightening job.
Haley Scarnato- B She is either really good or really bad. Tonight she is pretty freaking good. She is good with a cheesy Disney song or classical song. Everything was good about her performance except her green dress which did everything to highlight all that is wrong with her figure…..which isn’t much.
LaKisha Jones- A+ It is a good thing KiKi doesn’t look like Antonella Barba or Haley Scarnato because if she did they would have to cancel the rest of the show. It would be that big of a blowout. It is almost like she is making love to the microphone when she sings. Her stylist deserves a raise as she continues to look more and more the part of a sexy diva each week.

In today’s final four matchup (2) Rosie O’Donnell will face (4) Michael Jackson. In the first final four game pop tart (1) Britney Spears beat (2) Lindsay Lohan in a battle of drunks by a score of 90 (72%) - 35 (28%).
The winner of the O’Donnell/Jackson matchup will face Britney Spears starting on Monday in the Hollywood March Madness National Championship.
Everyone knows Rosie O’Donnell and her mental instabilities. Her feud with Donald Trump, her co-host Elizabeth and battle with American Idol regarding Frenchie Davis and Antonella Barba.
Michael Jackson has helped define crazy for nearly two decades now. No matter if he is guilty or innocent of molesting little boys most will agree that he has a very peculiar relationship with pre-pubescent boys and plastic surgeons.
A strong case can be made for either Rosie or Michael but you get to vote and decide the crazier of the two and who will move on to face Baldie Spears in the finals.

Shazam. This is the best season of American Idol. EVER. Katharine McPhee’s yellow dress malfunction pales in comparison to Antonella Barba, and now Alaina Alexander nudes. Of course these are not fully nude or else Alaina’s MySpace profile would be taken down. You know what posting semi-nudes on MySpace gets you?
Hope.
I thought all the hope had left this world after The Departed and 300. But half naked pictures of wannabe singers on MySpace means there are some whole-naked pictures on somebody’s hard drive somewhere, just waiting to be released into the wilds of the internet. And naked pictures, my friends are like secrets and STD’s, they’re bound to come out sometime (usually after putting something where it shouldn’t have been). That doesn’t make sense at all. But what does make sense is how hot Alaina Alexander is. I asked her to be my MySpace friend and I invited her to a Gmail account. I have a good feeling about this one. If Axl Rose has taught me anything, it’s that the LA music scene is a veritable “jungle” and you have to do drugs and porn or “you gonna die”. You. Gonna. Die.

Actually she has two big ole American Idols right up front, right where the they should be. Sanjaya actually didn’t do that poorly last night so I voted for him again because he’s so pretty, but mostly because I want his sister to keep showing and doing what she’s doing in that top image. (Video here). I’ve never dated an Indian girl (I have pow-wowed with a Native American), but top back-handed racists agree that Indian girls are hot, and mostly virgins because they’ll be thrown into a fiery pit, otherwise. I saw that on Law & Order, and that shit is ripped from the headlines. True story. Anyway, Shayamali has a MySpace and I hope she’ll be adding me as her friend. I’d hate to have to tell her dad she’s a Hooter’s girl and get her in trouble. More Shyamali (my favorite is the Goodbye Girl pose) and LINKS!

It is too bad Alaina Alexander didn’t take these photos until after being booted on American Idol because if she had she might have lasted a couple more weeks on the reality talent show.
Alaina posted these photos on her MySpace Page. You have to assume you are made for success in Hollywood when your initials are A.A.
If only we had these when all of Antonella Barba’s photos were all over the net. We could have had our own Idol competition then.

Damn. Pam Beesley is packing some heat. I don’t mean to be sexist, but if more girls dressed like this around the office, life would be a lot nicer. And sexist. Because what’s an office without some good natured sexual harassment? It’s a fun-less, shithole with no coffee or sodas and only one stall in the bathroom, that’s what. That’s why chicks should wear lingerie: to make the day better. Except the lady who works in HR with the big strange mole on her arm shaped like Cuba with the really, really long hairs that grow out of it and work their way up her arm past her elbow. All I’m saying is that she could braid that shit and it kinda scares me because sometimes I think I can see it breathing. Yeah. Anyone but her.
Before you fire off that email missive about how insensitive I am to the plight of the corporate woman, just hear me out. I’m not saying that women should be objectified or that I think that women aren’t as smart as men or that they can’t do any job that a man can do. We all know that they can (most times even better). I’m just saying it would a be whole lot sexier if they did it in lingerie.
Links! And in case you’re an Assman, a shot of Jenna’s other asset. Get it? My stars, that’s rich. I should write a pilot.

Be sure to check out the original post about Bumpshack’s Hollywood March Madness. The competition was a bit better on day two of our tournament. Check out the results at the bottom of this post. Be sure to vote in today’s match-ups to see who will advance to round two. Here are the results of who moves on to the next round of our tournament to determine who is Hollywood’s Craziest Celebrity.
Today you will be voting to decide the crazier of the two between Paris Hilton v. Nicole Richie in our women’s match. In our men’s game it will be Brandon Davis v. Michael Jackson.
In what could be the most competitive game to date in the tournament Paris Hilton (5) will battle Nicole Richie (4) in a contest between the former best friends to decide who is screwier in the head. Some say Hilton is the reason Britney Spears went off the deep end. Nicole Richie has been in and out of rehab and her ramblings often bring her mental stability into question. Vote and decide which Simple Life star is the Madder of the two:
In one of the weirder first round match-ups Michael ‘Wacko Jacko’ Jackson (4) faces Brandon ‘Greasy Bear’ Davis (5). Jackson continues to toy around with children from around the world. He holes himself up in hotel rooms across the world and still has managed to bankrupt himself. Davis has had several stints in rehab. His craziest moment led to Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Firecrotch’ nickname. Wacko or Greasy? Vote for who advances:
Here are the results from day two of the first round of Hollywood March Madness:
In the ladies game celebrity newcomer and American Idol reject Antonella Barba battled against gossip queen Lindsay Lohan. Barba took an early lead on day one of voting but Lohan came back and cruised to the big win over Antonella:
(43 votes 69%) Lindsay Lohan (2) Winner
(19 votes 31%) Antonella Barba (7)
In our first men’s game we had the couch jumping Tom Cruise against Rosie basher Donald Trump. Trump as the 8th seed made a quick exit to the ultra quirky Cruise. Here is how the final score ended up between the two:
(35 votes 67%) Rosie O’Donnell (2) Winner
(17 votes 33%) Michael Richards (7)

Be sure to check out the original post about Bumpshack’s Hollywood March Madness. We had two decisive blowouts in our first two games that concluded yesterday. Thank you for all of your votes. Here are the results of who moves on to the next round of our tournament to determine who is Hollywood’s Craziest Celebrity.
In our first match we had tournament favorite Britney Spears going up against her kissing buddy and music idol Madonna. While this game was a blowout I was a bit surprised at actually how well Madonna competed. Here is the final tally:
(86 votes 84%) Britney Spears (1)
(16 votes 16%) Madonna (8)
In our first men’s game we had the couch jumping Tom Cruise against Rosie basher Donald Trump. Trump as the 8th seed made a quick exit to the ultra quirky Cruise. Here is how the final score ended up between the two:
(86 votes 90%) Tom Cruise (1)
(10 votes 10%) Donald Trump (8)
Today you will be voting to decide the crazier of the two between Lindsay Lohan v. Antonella Barba in our women’s match. In our men’s game it will be Rosie O’Donnell v. Michael Richards.
In what could be another lopsided affair, American Idol’s Antonella Barba will try to compete against underage drunk Lindsay Lohan. Both of their ‘crazy’ resumes have been well documented over the last couple of months. Lohan has been in and out of rehab…usually checking out to go to bars and clubs. Antonella has been seen ‘playing the flute’ with her ex-boyfriend and stripping in the World War II Memorial Fountains. She also compared her singing on Idol to Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson. Now it is your turn to vote. Lindsay or Antonella Barba?
Â
In what will be one of the better first round games to date in the tournament we have comedians Rosie O’Donnell and Michael Richards vying to see who will advance. Most comedians have a very dark side that will come out as rage and hatred. Both Rosie and Michael have shown this to be very true. Richards, known for playing Kramer on Seinfeld, totally lost it at the Laugh Factory going off on two African-American’s who had come to see him perform. His ‘n-word’ laced tirade ruined what was left of his crumbling career. Rosie has gone off the deep end in the past year losing it with her View co-host Elizabeth, American Idol and her epic battle with Donald Trump. Is Rosie or Michael crazier? You vote and decide who moves on to the next round.

On the heels of the whole Antonella Barba situation comes news of a another American Idol sex scandal. Two seasons ago, Mario Vazquez shocked the world by pulling out just days before they were about to compete, citing “family reasons.” Now, a scandalous lawsuit has been brought against the singer, FOX Entertainment, and Fremantle Media that accuses Vazquez of having “sexually harrassed” the show’s assistant accountant:
In the lawsuit, [Magdaleno] Olmos claims “Vazquez stared lasciviously, smiled lasciviously … and on one occasion followed him into a bathroom … knocked on the door of the plaintiff’s stall and made eye contact through the space in the stall door.”
The lawsuit alleges that Vazquez “started to rub his genitals over his pants. Attempting to leave the bathroom, Olmos opened the door of the stall and saw Vazquez standing in front of him with his pants down masturbating.”
According to the documents, Vazquez pushed Olmos “further into the stall and continued masturbating with one hand and trying to pull down Olmos’ pants with another hand.
Of course, this all happened two seasons ago, when the show still operated under the misconception that it was some sort of bastion of family entertainment.

How hard was it to deal with all the controversy that was going on around you when you were on the show?
It was definitely difficult and it wasn’t how I intended things to go, but I tried to block it out as much as possible and stay focused on the competition. All that other stuff was completely irrelevant to the fact that I’m here to sing.
Visibility is important – does part of you feel that there’s no such thing as bad publicity?
Yes, it’s true that my name is more well-known because of it, but I’m not known for the things that I would like to be known for right now. I wanted to make a name for myself in singing. The pictures that have been released of me – the ones that actually are me – they were very personal and that is not how I intended to portray myself. I’d rather promote myself in a more classy way. And, again, that was private – that was not for the public eye.
Were you approached to pose in Playboy?
I heard about it but I was never approached.
Would you do it?
No. Right now I want to look at all the offers I get and sort out what’s best for me right now. I’m definitely not opposed to acting or modeling or something. I would definitely do pop music, but I would add my style to it – you know, a little R&B-ish pop music, maybe bluesy, jazzy.

Antonella Barba was voted off American Idol but I’m guessing that we’ll see more of her in the future. In fact, we may see much, much more.
According to The Post Chronicle, Hugh Hefner has expressed interest in having Antonella appear nude in Playboy magazine.
Antonella Barba nude in Playboy magazine? Could be. Laura Saltman of Access Hollywood was at the Playboy Mansion for the party celebrating the season three premiere of the E! channel’s ‘The Girls Next Door’, and asked for the Playboy boss’s take on the Antonella Barba racy photographs online controversy.
After showing Hugh Hefner the photos, he remarked, “She really looks sexy here.” Asked if he would consider making Antonella an offer to pose for Playboy should she be voted off ‘Idol’ early, Hef answered, “Very real possibility. Yes, absolutely.”
And if that doesn’t work out… Antonella has a job offer from Girls Gone Wild to be a celebrity host in one of their videos. TMZ reports the deal is worth $250,000.
Joe Francis tells TMZ, “We have reached out to Antonella Barba through her family and are trying to reach her directly in order to offer her a hosting job for one of our upcoming video projects. Just like the American Idol judges, we at Girls Gone Wild are looking for a girl next door, with sexiness, attitude, a carefree spirit and a presence that will command the attention of the Nation.”

Well I guess the party’s over kids. No more Antonella Barba to fill our water cooler sound bites. No more “are they real” or “why would her friend do that to her” or “how did you get her underwear dude?”. All done. Not to mention the traffic boost we all got from just tagging a story with her otherwise nondescript name. Remember, back in the day (3 weeks ago) when the story first broke and you were all excited and I posted those pictures of the fake Antonella-porn star up and all the other racy photos of the real Anotnella and we just laughed talked and held each other till dawn? Yeah. Good times. ANYWAY, before you start crying again, It looks like Antonella may have some options on the table.
Barba’s Idol exposure may not have earned her a record contract, but there’s no doubt her experience on the Fox show has resulted in a wealth of new opportunities.
On Wednesday, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis extended a public invitation to the comely brunette to join his company, offering her $250,000 to host an upcoming video release from the franchise.(source)
There is also a rumor that she’ll accept a recent bid by Playboy to pose nude for them. Personally, I think she should go straight into porn. NOt regular porn. That really revolting shit that you say doesn’t turn you on, and you’d never be into it. And you even lie to yourself about it. Ew. gross. Not me dude. But somehow when you’re into your 25th vodka tonic you find yourself naked, lit by your monitor listening to that German guy yelling (pleading?), so you turn down the speakers and just watch. And cry. Then watch and cry some more. Then you take shower and cry again and put all your clothes in the wash at 3.47 am on a work night. And in the morning it’s all better because you’re hungover and you can’t really remember what happened. Maybe it was dream? Yeah it was dream. But then the cat ruins it because when did he become such a judgmental dick?

UPDATE: The sly, technosaavy savants over at Technorati.com picked up this post on their new appropriately titled “Buzz TV” today. Click to see it. Warning, it’s a video that features this very post so the universe may implode. But there’s nothing like a singularity on a Friday.

Tonight was the end of the road on American Idol for sex star Antonella Barba, Jared Cotter, Sundance Head and Sabrina Sloan. The voting left the judges shaking their heads and Simon claiming that the viewers must have ‘had the sound turned down.’
Tuesday night’s Bumpshack poll of who should be voted off put Sanjaya Malakar and Jared Cotter as the two most likely to get the boot. A whooping 73% voted that Sanjaya should no longer remain. Cotter got 10% of the same vote. Only 6% of respondents believed that Sundance should be kicked off the show.
The Bumpshack poll last night had Antonella Barba and Haley Scarnato as the two women that should be sent home. According to the poll 71% of respondents voted Barba as the worst singer remaming. Scarnato reveived 23% of the vote but was able to remain when Ryan Seacrest announced that Sabrina Sloan was going home instead. Sloan had just received 1% of the vote.
I truly thought that Sanjaya and Cotter would be the two men voted off tonight. I personally would have voted off Sanjaya and Brandon Rogers. I have no idea how Haley Scarnato made it through with her Disney resume. It was also a shocker to see Antonella voted off. Don’t get me wrong Antonella is perhaps the worst female singer that remained but she has a huge fan base. Ryan ushered Barba off the stage quickly and didn’t allow any interaction between her and the judges. It was truly one of the weirdest moments in American Idol history.
