Antonella Barba, the wannabeen "American Idol" with the racy pics, was recorded while "singing" the Star Spangled Banner at an event that seems to be a high school homecoming or junior high graduation -- which she then posted on her MySpace music page. Rollover Francis Scott Key!
Either nerves got to the winged songbird, or she wasn't sure which country's anthem she was singing -- because when Barba didn't quite know the words, like any pro, she just made 'em up! Genius!
Her mistakes were minor ... like changing "through the 
perilous fight" into "ooh the perilous fight," and "bombs bursting in air" to "bombs bursting in there." In where, gurl?! Every song should end on a good note -- although she might not have gotten that memo. Ant ends with "O'er the land of the free, IN the home of the brave!" Classic! Keep those hits coming!

"A.I." castoffs Antonella Barba, Haley Scarnato and Gina Glocksen are pretty clear as to who their pick to win "Idol" is... and it's not Blake Lewis.
The three rejects have spent the last week asking all of their fans to vote for Jordin Sparks. The girls have posted bulletins non stop on each of their MySpace pages, urging readers to make Jordin the next "American Idol" winner.
Why are these girls serving up the Blake Haterade? Who knows... Girl power!

"Idol" babes Antonella Barba and Amanda Coluccio first auditioned for the singfest together in August-- and while Antonella made it further up the karaoke ladder than her best gurl -- it's Amanda who's now making her own music.
Barba is still warbling cover versions, but Amanda Coluccio's MySpace music page features an original song by the steamy songstress entitled "Push N Touch." Mmmmm, pushing and touching!
Although the song has clearly been doctored to death in the studio, in comparison to Antonella's musical attempts, it's not that bad.

Don't cry for K-Fed; rounding off his divorce settlement at $1 million for 25 months of matrimony, that means he got paid $17,857.14 a week for his husbandly chores. No, if you do anything this weekend, shed a crocodile tear for the following K-Oed bunch.
Daniel Sadek: The real-estate-investor-turned-film-producer willingly crashed a couple of his Porsche Carrera GTs during the making of "Redline," a $26 million action flick he is personally financing. But Monday's charity race rehearsal business with co-star Eddie Griffin and a $1.5 million Ferrari Enzo was entirely unscripted, a sort of weird anniversary celebration of last year's similar Malibu Enzo dust-up involving Swedish swindler Bo Stefan Eriksson. To his credit, Sadek was able to put the loss in the proper materialistic perspective during a brief, 15-minute private trailer mourning. But for Griffin, forget about "Undercover Brother," the film he jokingly referenced afterwards. This is more like that brief one-year marriage the class clown engaged in while still in high school.

Antonella Barba has reinvented her image -- on MySpace. The recent "Idol" castaway has moved her page into the MySpace "Music" category, removed a picture of herself flipping the bird, and has changed her MySpace quote/display name.
"I Just Look Like Her" used to be her display name (still trying to convince the world that she only looked like the girl in the racy net pics), and the accompanying quote used to read, "keep talking, you're making me famous." Now her name is just plain ol' Antonella Barba, and the quote is, "I'll have the last laugh." Well, the attitude is still there.
So what can you find on her music page? A downloadable version of her a capella audition song, "Free." Perhaps the one and only time she sounded halfway listenable. Her horrendous rendition of Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" is also featured for the brave of ear, but you may want to miss it. Like Paula, TMZ will try to focus on her strong points. Um, well, well ... she really is a beautiful girl.

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.

TMZ has learned that an adult video company has joined the check danglers who are offering "American Idol's" controversial competitor major dough, as they attempt to cash-in on her newfound slut-ebrity status.
SugarDVD, the largest renter of adult DVDs online, tells TMZ they've offered Antonella Barba a whopping $500,000 to become their new spokesperson. Last month, the same company offered $1 million to Kim Kardashian, which she refused.
If Barba signs, Sugar CEO "Jax" claims that her first gig would be hosting a launch party for their new video-on-demand service. Jax said he welcomed a bidding war, telling TMZ, "You saw her photos online, she's smokin'. We will not lose because of money." Neither will Antonella.

UPDATE: The display name has suddenly been changed to Lucy Hess. WTF?
Alleged singer Antonella Barba takes it to her MySpace page to clear up any confusion there might be -- surrounding alleged racy photos circulating the Internet. Barba's display name is "I just look like her" and the photo caption reads, "Keep talking, you're making me famous." It ain't the talk, hon.
According to Barba, she just really looks a lot like this girl. And if you're not buying it, well, she sent another message in one of her uploaded pics, thanking "Idol" viewers.
Although you have to be added as a friend to see her page, that doesn't mean that all of her "friends" are fans. Some show some love, but nearly half of "Antonella's" MySpace is smeared with comments left by other MySpacers telling Miss Barba just how talentless they think she is ... and that she should be kicked off the show.

What's up for Antonella once she gets the "Idol" boot? TMZ has found one offer already on the table: Girls Gone Wild!
Joe Francis, the guy behind the GGW empire, has already offered the saucy Idolette a $250,000 contract to appear in a video as a celebrity host!
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."

Antonella Barba, 20-year-old "American Idol" hopeful, has allegedly been seen in various racy photos circulating on the web, but the burning question remains: What will she do after the AI circus is finished? Wagerweb.com has some ideas ... that you can bet on.
Here are the odds on some of Barba's potential next moves:
She will appear nude in Playboy: 5 to 1
She will have an affair with Paula Abdul: 90 to 1
She will have an affair with Simon Cowell: 100 to 1
She will be photographed drunk with Paris Hilton: 12 to 1
She will shave her head: 20 to 1
This isn't the first time this time "American Idol" has dealt with nude pix. In 2003, the show dumped contestant Franchelle "Frenchie" Davis after it was revealed that she posed topless for an Internet porn site.

Sources have revealed to TMZ that there's a feud a brewin' backstage at "American Idol."
According to our spy, some of the religious female contestants are none too fond of one Miss Antonella Barba, since racy photos of the off-key idol began popping up on the net.
No confrontation has erupted, but it's been downright chilly behind the scenes, with the idolettes now waiting to see if America decides to keep the photogenic Barba around for another week, heaven forbid!
When contacted, reps for "Idol" had no comment.

"American Idol" screecher Antonella Barba's breathy Jessica Simpson-like caterwauling will likely get her bounced from the show very soon. Thanks to an eBay auction, you can keep Toni near to you, or just eat her for breakfast.
Sordid images have surfaced of the Simon-tweaking idolette, making her one of the most popular Internet searches ... and now she's been immortalized in a slice of toast.

Anna Nicole is dead, and finally buried in the Bahamas. But let's not forget these folks, for whom the week also felt 
somewhat like their funeral.
Antonella Barba: We're fine with all those nude photos, even the X-rated ones that friends claim are not her. We're also fine with the fact that sympathy for the bedeviled, rather than perhaps sheer talent, kept the 20-year-old from being trounced this week from "American Idol." But to compare yourself -- in the face of some Simon criticism on Wednesday -- to Jennifer Hudson, the very same week that the best set of pipes ever to grace the Fox juggernaut won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar? C'mon. We hate to break it to you, but right now, you're only the "dream girl" of a very narrow contingent of avid Internet-surfing males.
