slutbags on tv

since i'm such a huge american idol fan - and i stayed up after getting home from DC late last night just to watch this weeks episodes - i can't help but bring up antonella barba. first of all, if you haven't checked out the pictures of her online, you have to. they are actually kind of funny. she is obviously taking pictures to give to a boyfriend or something, and is in all of these poses with a white sheet as a makeshift backdrop...quite hilarious. the best one is of her imitating the jessica simpson-rolling stone cover, red high heels and all. she looks like a little girl (a little slutty girl, mind you) playing dress up. i just can't stop thinking about who she got to take the pictures. if i asked one of my friends to take pictures of my in my underwear so i could make a calendar for my boyfriend, i'm pretty sure that all of them would laugh in my face.

so anyways, the other thing you have to note is that she is 20 years old. i realize that i am only 24, but i still feel like 20 is pretty young to be stripping and documenting it. and the best part is that they interviewed her friend who auditioned with her...and she said "antonella is the least slutty person i know." does that mean that her other friends are super-mega-sluts? because last time i checked, putting on lingerie and posing for a camera is pretty slutty.

hopefully she goes home tonight...she sucks at singing on top of everything. but she has a $250,000 contract with girls gone wild waiting for her, so her career is just beginning.

so then, i was watching a few minutes of the new pussy cat dolls show. it's pretty dumb, which is to be expected. however, one of the girls who made it through, she's 18 and was talking about how she will be able to tell her daughter about this. um...what? i know that 18-year-olds can get pregnant, and they can have kids and they can be mothers...but on national television? i think that might be sending the wrong message.

sluts will be sluts...i guess that will never change, whether it's on tv or not.
