So another American Idol contestant has gained notoriety not for her singing ability (which had yet to be confirmed) but for scandalous pictures. First Antonella Barba’s future on the show was questioned when semi-nude photos of her surfaced. Now a second contestant, Alaina Alexander, has re-gained notoriety (long after her dismissal) for pictures of a questionable nature on her MySpace page.

Maybe we should just cut out the singing nonsense and hold a pagent-type show where contestants win if their wet T-shirt pics and Jello wresting video on YouTube is the most pornographic.

Just count your blessings this was not the direction of the show when Ruben Studdard won.
