Obviously, most of the Antonella Barba pictures floating around the Internet are real. The American Idol contestant is posing for a majority of them.

However, there are especially lewd photos of Barba that our website has not printed out of concern for public decency. You may view them at TheHollywoodGossip.com by clicking here if you'd like.

New evidence now suggests that these pictures are phony, though. We have no idea who's behind the American Idol: CSI team mentioned below, but it appears to have conducted some research into this affair. Judge for yourself.

Once this blows over, we hope fans can return to the heart of the show and focus on the vocal talents of hopefuls such as Barba, Lakisha Jones and Phil Stacey.
