American Idol's Antonella Barba Really Sucks. Really.

We weren't planning on (un)covering the pics of American Idol contestant Antonella Barba in various states of semi-dress/with a hog in her maw, but you know what? Our high school years were spent covered in spitballs, "kick me" signs, and suicidal ideation, so when super-tanned and highlighted kids whose teenage years you know played out like a real life Mean Girls get their comeuppance, we must take note. And post the embarrassing pictures. And laugh. And point. And feel pretty good about ourselves. And then go home. And cry. And write poetry about having an empty soul. And saw at our wrists with rubber-handled safety scissors.

On Wednesday night, Antonella Barba took the Idol stage and rendered Aerosmith's odious "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" even more smelly. She made it through, however, and if there's anything friends, enemies, and frenemies love, it's an opportunity to stick it to a demi-celeb via leaking of half-nudes. Yay MySpace! NJ.com reports:

[Antonella Barba's] best friend and fellow "Idol" auditioner, Amanda Coluccio, said the tamer shots are of Barba, including a full-length shot of Barba naked, covered with rose petals, taken for a calendar she made for her boyfriend of several years. But the lewdest of the bunch, she is certain, are not Barba, a Red Bank Catholic High School graduate who had been studying architecture until she got her break on "Idol."

"They were meant to be seen by one person and one person only," Coluccio said at her Holmdel home. "The really bad ones aren't her. I've studied them. It's not her nose. She's never had (acrylic nail) tips in her life. She's the least slutty person I know."

"Idol" producers won't make Barba, or any of the semifinalists, available for interviews until after they are ousted. But Coluccio, who speaks with Barba daily, says they believe someone from Catholic University broke into her computer and posted the pictures.

"She's been crying. She's horrified," Coluccio says. "She's most upset about what her parents think."

Thanks to the duo's introduction on "Idol," Coluccio has been on the receiving end of Internet infamy as well. The show's producers aired scenes that pitted Barba and Coluccio against each other, and Coluccio thought they made her look like a flirtatious, jealous, spoiled brat. Coluccio said she gets more than 3,000 MySpace messages a week, many calling her nasty names.

No matter how tough it's been, Coluccio doesn't regret the experience. "'We both went to fulfill a dream but were made into characters," she said. "'American Idol' is the fakest show on TV. We're so real and down-to-earth, and I wish people could see that."

Ah, yes, the old "We are so nice and everyone's just jealous" excuse. But on to the pics! IDontLikeYouInThatWay harbors the brunt of the Barba onslaught, with snaps of the maligned Idol hopeful rubbing her choca on a basketball, all flower petaled out a la American Beauty, grinding on girls, and, most importantly, fellating a pixillated ding dong. And Oh No They Didn't takes it one step beyond with unpixillation, ass crack, and wet T-shirt shots taken in front of a beloved American landmark honoring those who gave their lives for this country. What next, Clay Aiken giving a reacharound in front of the Grant's Tomb? On top of Anna Nicole's fresh grave? Oh, the humanity.

Antonella isn't at MrSkin.com--yet--so take a peek at Paula Abdul.
