Sexy shots of 'American Idol' singer stall MaximOnline
Cnet ^ | 02/23/2006 | Greg Sandoval

The steamy, belly-baring photographs of "American Idol" contestant Becky O'Donohue, which have ignited a miniscandal, have also hobbled MaximOnline.com.

The Web home of men's magazine Maxim was overwhelmed at times Thursday after several news sources ballyhooed the existence of the photos, in which O'Donohue poses with twin sister Jessie, according to a marketing executive with the magazine's publisher.

The executive added that engineers were working to correct the problem. The site never crashed, but pages were slow to load. Sometimes a note would appear for would-be visitors, saying the site was overloaded.

In the afternoon, MaximOnline changed the presentation of the photos, presumably to make downloading easier. Instead of posting all the photos on a single Web page, which is the company's favored method, MaximOnline moved each image to its own page.

As if they were exposing a closely guarded secret, several news reports presented the photos and a minute-long accompanying video of the sisters. But Becky and Jessie, 25, posed for Maxim almost two years ago, and none of the images include nudity.

Becky is a vocalist who's competing with 23 other semifinalists to be dubbed "American Idol"'s most talented performer of 2006. Throat surgery prevented Jessie, who like her sister is an aspiring singer and part-time model, from trying out for the show.

I clicked on them with the right mouse button -- selected "Properties" & copied the URL. Worth it.

Beck is white and professes to be conservative but someimes he's clueless. Of course, he is after just an entertainer and is now going for the big bucks. I don't easily get my hackles up but this show rubbed me the wrong way.

"that malcolm x had changed after going to mecca and dropped his racist ways."

That's what got him killed. IMO, Farrakhan and that ilk couldn't have a black man touting racial equality, due to spiritual equality.

malcolm x would only accept whitey if he converted to islam, the rest were blue eyed devils. Sounds sorta like what you're saying.
Beck didn't make that distiction. Just said that malcolm x dropped his racist views.

As long as she can breathe deeply, she doesn't have to sing.

Katherine McPhee is the hottest girl on the show by far.

This is so silly. I've only seen the show once intermittently and it's because I had to. What a piece of manure.

I'm more surprised she doesn't have some infantile anti-Bush slogan tattooed on her puppies.

Did I hear Janis Joplin mentioned in the same breath as Ashley Simpson? No Way Man!

Joplin belongs in the same breath as Aretha.

Those aren't puppies. They're dumplings.
