You weren't the only one who Googled that smoking hot NBA cheerleader from "American Idol" this week -- THOUSANDS of other people did too ... and TMZ has learned, the massive surge in traffic crashed her manager's website.
In case you missed Wednesday's episode, the smokeshow's name is Brittany Kerr -- a cheerleader for the Charlotte Bobcats. J.Lo wasn't that impressed with her audition, but Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson eagerly handed the girl a ticket to Hollywood.
But the fanfare didn't end there ... a rep for Kerr's management company -- which hosts multiple photos of her on its website -- tells TMZ, its site was forced to shut down for hours after a massive surge in traffic crippled its servers.
But Kerr's management company wasn't the only thing affected ... photographer Jim Merrill -- who recently snapped Kerr in a bikini shoot -- tells TMZ, he had to scramble to buy additional bandwidth for his website to accommodate all the voyeurs.
Merrill tells us, he typically gets about 5,000 hits a month on his website -- but just moments after Kerr's audition, his traffic ballooned to 20,000 hits.
Never underestimate America's online stalking abilities.

Don't care enough to watch the show, much less this video. Hope she can sing, because she's not that cute.
J Ho was defiantly a hater. The girl is young and pretty while J Ho is old and "iight"
Won't watch American Idol this year because Jennifer Lopez is an egomaniac and that laugh makes me what to slap her. We all know she is having a mid life crisis with her ugly boy toy. Heaven help any woman who is pretty because she will kick her to the curb because it takes a lot of work and extensions to look like her and she CANNOT SING...You would think she would either have to be a producer or sing but not on that show. The Voice is the show to watch.
ANYONE NAMED BRITNEY AINT GONNA LAST A DAY... LOOK AT THE REAL BRITNEY (SPEARS) - SAME DUMB BLONDE LOOK BUT CANT SING A NOTE, LIP SYNCS, LIP DANCES, AND JUST STANDS THERE IN CONCERT WHILST THE DIGICAM FLASHES - YAAAWWWN!!!! HELL, SHE WOULDNT MAKE IT ON AMERICAN IDOL. #TRUTH!!
Jennifer Lopez can't sing without the assistance of sound engineers. The fact that she is judging a singing competition is ridiculous. I agree with the comment below that she was definitely hating on this young woman. I'm so glad I stopped watching this show when Simon left!!!!!
JLo was definitely hating. That girl is 10 times better looking than her and not that bad of a singer. At least she's a better singer than JLo. Given that she cheers for the Bobcats, I assume she is an ok dancer, too. JLo was probably seeing future competition. When she said that she wasn't impressed by her singing, I wondered if JLo ever listened to any of her own albums to see how unimpressive singing really sounds.
They are letting anybody go to Hollywood, including a crazy acting and dressing girl(i think it was her they said she reminded them of Steven Tyler) who couldn't sing worth sh*t Wednesday night, yet they didn't allow a couple of others who were slightly better than her through, they pulled the same stunt last year..what a turn off, so i'm not going to finish watching this show this year, like i did last year...
Girl can definitely sing, lovely timbre to her voice, it's full and rich. Tyler's advice was truly on the mark with her particular vocal style.
She's refreshingly, naturally pretty and looks a lot like Carrie Underwood. Yeah, JLo said "no" due to pathological jealousy. I agree with the comments above that she needs all types of major computers to try to sing and this young lady can naturally -- without any computer help -- totally outsing, upstage and outshine JLo.
JLo -- don't choke on your Haterade.
She has a Tranny face and looks like porn star Trina Michaels...lololol
i see boobs in the bikini BUT NO CLEAVAGE..pass on seeing that naked.
FIRED YOUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO AMERICAN IDOL TO GET A GIG..LMAO FAIL
So TMZ copies the pictures and posts them on TMZ.com after slapping a "TMZ" logo across them.
