American Idol castoff Sanjaya Malakar has no shortage of media attention. His 15 minutes of fame are blazing bright and that's not the only thing. TMZ reports via the National Enquirer that Sanjaya's mom, Jillian Blith, was arrested in 2005 after a Washington Sheriff's department found 310 marijuana plants in the Malakar garage. His now infamous big boobed sister Shyamali got some action too.

Shyamali, who was arrested for possession, directed the cops to another green-growing facility nearby, where they arrested Blith and her husband, Charles Quist - TMZ

And then there's Sanjaya on women (stop laughing):

I got teased in school because people figured I must be gay because I understand women - People

Quite a day for the pony-hawked castoff. Better cash in while the sun shines before that 15 minutes goes up in, ah, smoke.

You kind of figured this would eventually happen. A former contestant on American Idol has a sex tape. Olivia Mojica, an Idol singer from season two has a sex video with her boyfriend set to release on May 3. Sources have reported to TMZ.com that it is the 'nastiest tape' they've ever seen. The 40 minute sex tape is being distrubted by Vivid Entertainment, the same people reponsible for selling the recent Kim Kardashian sex tape with Ray J. The DVD will be sold at hardcoreidol.com. Vivid says the foortage was obtained by an 'unidentified third party'.

I've never heard of Olivia Mojica, but didn't watch season 2 of American Idol. She made the top 24, so I guess she might have some notoriety. I question whether this really qualifies as a 'celebrity sex tape'. I think it's just the sex that makes you a celebrity. Which is why I always tell me people how famous I am.

If you follow American Idol you'd catch a rather obvious trend with contestant Haley Scarnato's clothing. Each week she seems to wear less and less of it. It's so blatant that even Simon Cowell makes weekly comments. Last night Haley sported the short shorts with those long legs. This clip from a couple weeks ago features Haley Scarnato's cleavage more than her singing. At this rate if she continues to survive the vote off she's going wind up singing naked. In which case we have our winner. I'm still holding out for Britney Spears to be the mentor so she can show Haley how to sing with no panties on and perform the Spears crotch slip maneuver.

This video clip of Sanjaya Malakar, pre-American Idol, comes from MySpace somewhere. I don't have the details, but watch it and then consider that the American public is voting for this clown. The only thing really interesting about Sanjaya are his sister 'shuge boobs - and she a Hooter girl too. It's come to the point that people are voting for Sanjaya only because he sucks, but I don't think he's actually realized that yet which is the funniest part. He's already become a horrible parody of himself. Even BustedTees.com whipped out a shirt for him - Good Byea Sanjaya

The Antonella train wreck rumbles on as TMZ reports gossip that Idol contestants are unhappy with Antonella's non-Idol worthy past. And everyone seems to be yelling double-standard over the fact that former contestant Fenchie Davis was ousted for her racy photos, yet Antonella has not been kicked out. And Rosie has thrown her weight into the mix crying racist because Frenchie is black and Barba isn't (also on TMZ).

Antonella escaped being voted off last week. If you're wondering why she's still on the show let me introduce you to her cleavage. Oh and Antonella's wet t-shirt pictures don't hurt either.

Kellie Pickler sang on American Idol last night and showed up with what looked like some fake breasts. Implants or not, Kellie seemed rather proud of her cleavage. The Burning Bra posted a photo comparison of Kellie Pickler's new boobs vs. old boobs. Not sure if you can really tell, but hey, they're boobs, it doesn't hurt to look. Ryan Seacrest does a great impression of a straight guy in the video acting like he's interested in Kellie's boobies.

Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar for best supporting Actress. I guess this provides inspiration for other American Idol hopefuls who are voted off early. You can still star in feature films, make records and win awards. Even if Idol contentant Antonella Barba is disqualified for nude photos of her all over the internet she can take solace in the fact that next year she could win big at the AVN awards.

The plot thickens. We posted yesterday on semi nude topless photos of Antonella Barba. Well, the American Idol scandal grows by the minute. Photos of Antonella Barba performing a blowjob have also surfaced on the net. The previous photos of Antonella topless on the beach and partying with friends weren't the most flattering, but we thought hey, at least she isn't giving some dude a BJ. Well, turns out she might be. I suppose Antonella might get lucky if the blowjob pictures turn out to be fake, but I think she used up her luck getting past the vote in the first week. Now the question - is there a video?

Updates: Definitely some speculation whether the blow job photos are fake or real, but there are also additional pictures emerging. Including Antonella wet t-shirt pictures taken in front of some war memorial fountain or some such thing. The Atonella controvery continues.

MORE UDPATES: (2/27/07) The Antonella Barba blow job photos are fake. Pal Amanda Coluccio tells People.com that they are Antonella is definitely not the one doing the BJ. As for all the other topless and wet t-shirt photos, that's all real. But the blowjob photos are a hoax. Pretty good lookalike for Antonella though. Wonder if she can sing any better?

A potential scandal is brewing over American Idol Antonella Barba's topless photos. The boards are buzzin with the Idol gossip after the top 24 started crooning this week. The topless pictures of Antonella were apparently taken on a beach with some friends. There are party picts too that aren't the most flattering (neither is the one of her sitting on the toilet). Might not be much of a scandal if she's voted off tonight though. You Better Watch It has picked Antonella as one of the bottom two tonight in their weekly Idol Predictions. I don't think there's ever been a nude American Idol scandal before. Antonella Barba may be the first.

You'd have had to be a drunken hobbit not to have noticed that Paula Abdul's behavior was seriously odd on tonight's American Idol. I've seen three year-olds that haven't peed in a week sit still better than Paula. She even oozed right out of her seat onto the floor and ended up on her knees one point. And then poof, she's mysteriously gone for the second day of the Burmingham auditions. Hum, I wonder why.

By now I'm sure you've seen this video of Paula Abdul acting like she was drunk. If you haven't then you're just not as cool as the rest of us. Paula Abdul appeared on the Jay Leno show last night and tried to explain the behavior. Which translates into - she rambled like a lunatic. Paula's explanation was retarded at best and frankly made almost less sense than the video itself. I defy any sober individual to watch Paula on Jay Leno, or that video of her on the morning show and tell me they think she's acting like a person with an IQ of 50. No make that 30. Yeah, 30.
