There is more than one way to make it big. When the nearly nude and faked porno pics of American Idol never-gonna-be Antonella Barba first appeared we knew it was only a matter of time before the offers started coming in.
As we reported last week, Hugh Hefner has expressed interest in having the Jersey Girl pose for Playboy. Online betting sites are now taking odds on whether it will be Playboy or Penthouse or something even more explicit.
Today we have learned from TMZ.com that she has got a quarter million dollar offer from Girls Gone Wild. GGW honcho Joe Francis wants her to be the celebrity host for at least one video.
He told TMZ, "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."
The girl is going to be a star - of some sort. But I think that is only the first offer to come in. They'll get bigger. We she except one or more? I'm betting she will. But she has still got several weeks to go on Idol before America finally kicks her off and her real career begins.
OK, I'll be the first to say it: If Antonella accepts these kinds of offers, someday she will probably end up like Anna Nichole.
Surely this is not what her Italian Catholic parents would want for her.
Her momma must be real proud....
