Barba: Skanky Pics Were an "Unnecessary Distraction"

Posted Mar 9th 2007 1:40PM by TMZ Staff

Although rejected Jerseyite "Idol" wannabeen Antonella Barba was distracted by racy pics of her that spread over the web, her parental units apparently didn't blink an eye.

"They're really encouraging me to just not get battered by nonsense that doesn't matter and that's not relevant to the competition," Barba told Ryan Seacrest this morning on his KIIS-FM show. The fallen slut-ebrity added that the whole situation was "hard to deal with" and an "unnecessary distraction." Yes, it was distracting for many!

Barba revealed she'll probably stick around L.A. for a bit to see what offers come her way, saying she'd like to keep singing (ack!), act, or even model. Looks like "Girls Gone Wild" may get their wish.

And while fellow rejectee Sundance Head spilled details on a behind-the-scenes brat, Barba played dumb and wisely kept her mouth shut ... for once.

4. She was better than Sanjaya! If the "6 girl, 6 guy rule" wasn't put into effect, she could surely have made the final 12.

7. "Although rejected Jerseyite "Idol" wannabeen Antonella Barba was distracted by racy pics of her that spread over the web, **her parental units apparently didn't blink an eye**."

And there you have it. The explanation for how a 19-year-old child winds up with naked or semi-naked pictures all over the internet.

I wish we could look forward to Barbarella's 15 minutes being over, but I fear she's going to be trashing up our TV's for awhile longer than that.

10. How nice that Slutty Whore's parents approve of their slutty whore daughter's choices in life. Wonder if Daddy passes around the photos of slutty whore daughter posing in front of the WWII memorial.

15. #6.... just b/c someone comments on someone's moral, and in this case, LACK OF MORALS, does not mean they are jealous. It only means they are opinionated and blunt.....
