'American Idol' Castoff Antonella Barba Is Working With Dr. Dre Producer
Barba dismissed a year ago this week during racy-photo scandal.
There are two things most people remember about "American Idol" season-six contestant Antonella Barba (and they might not be what the more juvenile-minded among you are thinking) ...
Number one was the scandal over the racy pictures of the New Jersey singer that were leaked during her bid to make the top 12, which, for a minute, made Barba one of the most Googled celebrities on the Internet, beating such perennial search queens as Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith. Number two was that the media firestorm that followed actually punched a tiny hole in the steely, seemingly impenetrable heart of judge Simon Cowell, who told Barba that he felt bad for her when she was eliminated a little more a year ago during the last week of semifinals.
Unlike many other "Idol" contestants with a whiff of scandal (Where'd you go, Frenchie Davis? What's up, Corey Clark?), instead of rushing to capitalize on her cyber-lebrity, Barba made the shockingly mature decision to put off her music career and go back to Catholic University in Washington, D.C., last fall to finish work on her architecture degree.
