If it weren’t for her Myspace Profile I’d have completely forgotten about Antonella Barba. Back when “American Idol” was a reasonable show we were blessed with this cute Italian teen who could somewhat sing. But once those pictures leaked, singing was pretty damned secondary…as it should have been and should be now. Don’t get me wrong here. I completely support someone for sticking to their guns and pursuing a dream, but I’m telling you right now that Antonella is going to regret not cashing in when she had the chance. And now? How much later are we? Has it been 2 years? 3? If she winds up doing a Playboy shoot or something it might end up being short lived. Too bad.

Seriously though, how fucking awesome was this chick? She is the perfect, thin girl, Italian background, dad is VERY scared to let her leave the house, seductive Eva Mendesish looking type one would get obsessed with in high school, getting away with anything and teachers not caring, semi talented vixen. Plus she was always the hottest girl in her group. Were there any hot girls in her group? No. That tells me that at least she is a real girl, who drinks for real, parties for real, and probably gets down for real. We must not forget about our Antonella Barba’s out there. They are the ones who should be on that Red Carpet.

I mean you just can’t teach looks like that. She’s purely uncoached and it’s incredible. While I can see she’s being intentional here, I guarantee there have been so many unbelievably unintentional hot moments in her teen career. My pimply skinny ass wouldn’t have been able to contain myself back in the day if a girl like this were strutting around. That’s why I dig Antonella. There’s a very real quality about her. And once you know that, and once they show an erotic side? It’s like kryptonite for even the strongest willed “I don’t care about these bitches” type of guy.

There are two ways of looking at this picture. One, the good way. That is the way of “damn, this chick is in underwear and a tarheels jersey not to mention the potential cameltoe action.” The bad way? It looks like she just shat a basketball.

No Antonella. This is actually what your potential career is saying to you. Sorry honey, you missed the boat.
