Remember Antonella Barba the American Idol hottie that had a scandal with various photos on the web? Well, the rumor is that she may be dating Blake Lewis.

According to people magazine's behind the scenes look at the show - ousted contestant Antonella Barba returned to the Idol arena – and proved to be an unusually reserved audience member, staying put in her seat (right behind Simon Cowell's mother) for most of the show.

Still, Blake Lewis managed to catch her eye at the end of the night and blew her a kiss. She promptly returned the favor and he "caught" the airborne smooch and held it close to his chest. Is it an American idol love connection?

I guess we'll find out as time goes on, but score another one for Blake.

Last night, American Idol viewers voted out Antonella Barba mainly because, well...it's a singing competition.

Still though, she got plenty of offers so what's she going to do next? Some of the offers include:

1) Spokesperson for a porn company.

SugarDVD, the largest renter of adult DVDs online, tells TMZ they've offered Antonella Barba a whopping $500,000 to become their new spokesperson. If Barba signs, her first gig would be hosting a launch party for their new video-on-demand service. (The Sugar CEO) said he welcomed a bidding war, "You saw her photos online, she's smokin'. We will not lose because of money."

2) Girls Gone Wild Host. CEO Joe Francis promised $250,000 if she wanted it.

"We have reached out to Antonella Barba through her family and are trying to reach her directly in order to offer her a hosting job for one of our upcoming video projects. Just like the American Idol judges, we at Girls Gone Wild are looking for a girl next door, with sexiness, attitude, a carefree spirit and a presence that will command the attention of the Nation."

3) Playboy. Hugh Hefner said:

After showing Hugh Hefner the photos, he remarked, "She really looks sexy here." Asked if he would consider making Antonella an offer to pose for Playboy should she be voted off 'Idol' early, Hef answered, "Very real possibility. Yes, absolutely."

I guess now is time to start placing bets.

I'm guessing even with her average singing, Antonella Barba will still be famous after she is voted off of American Idol.

Oh yes...she'll be voted off because she doesn't have the singing talent that some of the other contestants do. She will however get a Maxim or Playboy type of offer or even some singing deal like William Hung did after she is gone from the show. We won't have heard the last of her I'm sure.

That's my prediction anyway. Tonight we'll see who stays and who goes.

UPDATE: And before I move on...check this out.

What's up for Antonella once she gets the "Idol" boot? TMZ has found one offer already on the table: Girls Gone Wild!

Joe Francis, the guy behind the GGW empire, has already offered the saucy Idolette a $250,000 contract to appear in a video as a celebrity host!

Some activist dude is organizing a rallyoutside the Kodak Theater in Hollywood to protest what is claimed as a double standard. It's all because of this girl...Antonella Barba, who had even more scandal photos leaked to the internet today and now has a website trying to profit from them.

With the recent headlines regarding explicit photos of "Idol"'s season six contestant Antonella Barba being brought to focus via news outlets and on talk programs nationwide, a celebrity rally on Tuesday will examine the issue of a double standard as it relates to the Fox-TV program's treatment of Frenchie Davis.

Tuesday's planned rally/press conference is scheduled to be held at 11 am in front of the Kodak Theater in Hollywood where the "American Idol" program is broadcast from.

Four years ago Davis was dismissed from the show for purported racy photos. But those photos, which Davis told EUR in an exclusive interview, were never seen either by the "Idol" powers that be, nor the public. On top of that she maintains her photos were of her modeling lingerie. Barbas' are of the hardcore porn type and have actually been published and seen by the public.

Project Islamic Hope's Ali, who is known for his no nonsense, take no prisoners style of speaking out on current issues, will be joined at the rally by season one "Idol" Producer Tarvenia Jones, Frenchie Davis (by phone), and Belinda Foster, manager of Frenchie Davis.

First of all the "hardcore porn type" photos have been proven to be fakes. Antonella has plenty of suggestive ones, but as of yet...no openly nude photos of any kind. The most wild thing she's done seems to be of her posing in the fountain of the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. supposedly while she was drunk.

I say let her compete in the games. She really doesn't sing that well anyway.

Seems this American Idol contestant Antonella Barba is really steaming things up on the net. It actually proves she must not be as popular as she claimed to be since a LOT of photos have shown up with her in pretty bad situations.

Take this photo of her flipping "the bird" for example. This is one of the most tame of all the photos. Others included her being topless at some party, showing her panties dressed as a cheerleader, showing some bra dressed as schoolteacher (complete with blackboard), and more then a few of her...ummm, performing with different microphone. I'm thinking you might catch my drift.

I'm wondering if her friend that got tossed off is now upset and has been leaking things or having other people leak things. And here I thought they were supposed to be Best Friends Forever.

Here's another tame one. I'm thinking she won't win Idol this yeary. Just a hunch.
