It’s all over the news: Antonella Barba remains a contestant on American Idol (well, for the next 48 hours anyway) despite some racy photos even though Frenchie Davis got the boot for the same thing a few years ago. Now people are crying out that it’s racism because Davis is black and Barba is white. Are these people for real? They actually think it’s about race???

It’s totally unfair the way the matters have been handled, but it’s pretty clear that race was not the issue.

The thing about this story and the terrible way that Rosie O keeps throwing it in our faces is precisely what Good Day LA (number 1 in their time slot, beating all national shows 7-9 am) has been saying for DAYS. Frenchie did it on a website for cash. A friend of Antonella’s posted it on the web without her consent. TWO way different situations.
