Star Catcher
"Idol" LaKisha Picks Up Fantasia's Crumbs

"American Idol" Fantasia Barrino not only blows off her performances -- but her fans too!


The singer gave her final "Color Purple" performance on Sunday, and after the show ended at 6:00 PM, fans waited by the stage door to get her autograph. Unfortunately, they were still waiting in the cold until 8:45 PM, when they were told she had already left! Damn! Ah, who needs fans anyway? Luckily, humbler "Idol" contestant LaKisha Jones, who also stars in the production, signed some pics for them -- on Fantasia's picture!

Also in NYC: Fabulously gorgeous "Enchanted" star Amy Adams, and board-trotter Jen Garner. In L.A., Danny Bonaduce credits TMZ with making his radio show interesting ... and Lil Jon just wants to relax!

Fantasia has left the building, bitches!

16. I think Lakisha has some mad talent! She had a great personality, and a wonderful voice.

17. #15 You are clueless.

Lakisha will last longer in the business because she stood out for 1 night and signed autographs? Fantasia stood out four times a week for 9 months for hours with fans and signed autographs. I know, I was there and she signed my shirt, a book and a cd plus gave me a hug. You are clueless, and for those not in the know Lakisha does have a role in the Color Purple she is an extra church soloist and guess who got her that job? FANTASIA!!

19. What do you guys expect from fantasia she probably read the wrong exit sign! Oh my fault she has trouble reading but she doesn't seem to have trouble with opening her legs. If she opened a book just as much as she open them babymaking legs of hers maybe she would be able to read the signs that takes her to the door where her young fans are waiting to see her! You girls need to pick another roll model. Please stop looking up to these hot ass girls ! Please keep your self esteem high! You can be beautiful without opening your legs or your mouth! Just be yourself!

20. Okay maybe she missed the sign that said exit! Oh my fault she has trouble reading. Hmmm maybe if she opened a book as much as she opens those fat baby making legs of hers she wouldn't be illiterate. Maybe she thought the sign said sexit! You girls need to find a better role model. Fantasia doesn't feel good about herself.. You girls keep your heads up and self esteem goes much further than having 2 babies before you even turn 25 years old. Open a book not your legs! Fantasia you call that singing Bitch stop screaming at me!

Let go of the anger, Fantasia beat your favorite 4 years ago, it is time to move on. Maybe you can get in a session with Dr. Phil since Britney doesn't want him?

22. Fantasia had to duck out early so she could make the first rehearsal of the new movie 'Crack Is Whack: The Whitney Houston Story'. She'll be playing the role of Bobby Brown.

23. #21 you really are stupid. You have convinced yourself that Fantasia is pregnant because that's what you want to believe. You should see a doctor honey.

Furthermore, she just finished up a critically acclaimed broadway run receiving some of the best reviews in broadway history, so the "not being able to read" jokes don't really fit anymore. She's pretty much proven you wrong just by going to broadway and SUCCEDDING there above and beyond ANYONE's EXPECTATIONS. Try again haters.

I haven't read ONE review that said she sounded like a duck so perhaps you dumbasses need to clean your ears out.

24. 1) Fantasia had every intention of meeting the fans after the show but had to leave unexpectedly for reasons that are none of your business. (Yes I was there and witnessed this)
2) FANTASIA IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT PREGNANT. She confirmed this in a recent NY news program, and her stomach is flat as a board btw.
3) Lakisha DOES have a role.
4) You haters who say Fantasia won't do well are true idiots, because she has ALREADY MADE HER MARK and done extremely well and all your negativity cannot take that away.
Amen.

26. #24 I'm sure you wish your favorite idol could only sell Gold and STILL be nominated for 3 GRAMMY's. Fantasia must be doing something right. Go watch an episode of "Gone Country". LMAO!

27. I don't know what Fantasia did to any of you, but geez some you, damn! To #5, I so totally agree with you! That statement made me laugh and I'm still LMAO!!!!

28. Fantasia who? This ex idol is all about publicity and how it'll get her more $$$. She has this "I'm an idol, so worship me" attitude. well, in my humble opion, she should learn her abc's b-4 dumping on her fans!

29. Bonaduce is REPULSIVE. Dumped off of Adam Carolla's morning show, and the same station gives him 1 hour in the afternoon? WHY? He sux sooooo bad, and it's funny....enduring two tries at listening to his nails-on-chalkboard nasty voice, all he did was the usual, talking about himself -- and the hour shows were up. What a blow hard. There's no way he can keep listeners to his manic steroids-self esteem issues-"I have a girlfriend"-constantly one-upping dreck, Get him back into a mental ward, somewhere FAR FAR away.

30. I saw Fantasia in the Color Purple in August and she left while we were waiting for an autograph as well. I know she has children, but it takes no less than 5 extra minutes to go and say hello to the fans and show appreciation to the people that are keeping you employed. One of the body guards told me she does this more often than come out to say hello. Also, she has about 5 feet to the SUV waiting to pick her up so she can at least come out and say hello, sign an autograph, sign a pic, and say she has to go.
