Update: American Idol Contestant Not As Slutty As Advertised

You know that times are tough in the celebrity scandal biz when pictures of one of the stars of TV's most popular show (allegedly) giving a blowjob are met with a collective yawn by the most of the country. Of course, now that a few days have passed we realize that our cynicism was not unjustified since the illicit photos of American Idol finalist Antonella Barba that surfaced last week are—surprise!—not her. At least, that seems to be the verdict based on some rather elaborate photographic analysis techniques conducted by people who should really be working for the FBI. The toilet photos, the semi-topless beach pics, the wet t-shirt contest in the World War II Memorial fountains ... those are totally real, but the hardcore snaps are definitely not her. Probably. We mean, it's the internet so who can ever really be sure of anything these days, but we're mostly convinced this time and we're ready to move on. When those photos of Paula Abdul giving Ryan Seacrest a reach-around surface, give us a call.
