Antonella Gone Wild?

Antonellabarba14Here's a press release from that slimy dude behind Girls Gone Wild. You know, I'm shocked that some irate father of a topless coed hasn't shot Joe Francis in the head yet. Plus isn't he supposed to be in the slammer for underage antics? Anyway, Joe Blow is trying to seduce American Idol's Antonella Barba to be a GGW co-host. I can hear her Dad cocking his shotgun as I type.

New York, N.Y. -- Joe Francis and Girls Gone Wild (GGW) have made a public offer to controversial American Idol star, Antonella Barba, to become the newest member of the Girls Gone Wild family. In the deal, Barba is being offered $250,000 to be the newest celebrity host following in the footsteps of Snoop Dogg and former REAL World celebrities, Syrus, Tonya, Cameran and Ace.

Barba became an instant sensation this season when racy photos of her appeared on the web. This is happening on a regular basis with Katie Rees being disqualified from the recent Miss USA pageant and the recent Newsweek cover story featuring Paris Hilton and Britney Spears "behaving badly".

"Girls gone wild has become part of pop culture, capturing real carefree college age students cutting loose. There’s a little Girls Gone Wild in every woman," says GGW founder Joe Francis, "and this should be embraced as a positive, not a negative."

Thanks to Barba’s overnight popularity, GGW and Joe Francis want to reward the young lady from New Jersey with a $250,000 hosting contract to join the GGW brand and lifestyle.

"Antonella Barba is an unbelievably sexy girl who obviously knows how to have a good time," said Joe Francis, CEO and founder of Girls Gone Wild. "Why are people being ridiculed and punished for being sexual? It’s ridiculous."

Comments

It's funny how when you are young you don't think about how the things you do and the decisions you make will bite you in the butt later in life.


Despite Simon's withering (but dead-on) commentary, Antonella might get thru tonight.

Hayley Scarnato is dead in the water -- and Stephanie Edwards, despite being a good singer, might get dumped, too.

As for guys, Jared Cotter and Brandon Rogers are my outs. Sanjaya could sneak in.

Those were my picks for the girls too, or at least what I told Mrs. Sparky. She said about booting Antonells and I told her that wasn't happening, now at least. There are a few more weeks to go in this story.

As for the guys, don't have a pick since I decided watching a mariachi band and hoisting a few cervezas was more important.
