Dear Nigel Lythgoe: I am fat and I have sex and get naked. A lot. Thank you.

I'm a little late to the party with this, but I've been really bothered by the fact that Frenchie Davis was unceremoniously kicked off the second season of American Idol for topless photos on the internet, while X-rated photos of Antonella Barba emerged that show her topless while actually engaged in the act of sex (Granted, not according to the Clintonian definition, but we'll go with the definition of the current White House administration, shall we?) and yet we were still subjected to weeks of her tone deaf warbling until America collectively spat her out.

One argument is that Davis was paid for modeling while Barba is just a cheap date. But what is also interesting is that Davis claims that she disclosed the existence of the photos to AI producers from the start, while I somehow doubt that Barba disclosed her night of too many Flirtinis with her date and his camera phone.

Davis is black, plus-sized, and immensely talented. Barba is white, looks like a Bratz doll, and has marginal vocal ability. While there have been black idols and overweight idols that have gone quite far, do the producers prefer their Idols lumped into one of two categories: either you're a sex symbol or you are nontraditionally attractive yet powerfully talented. And while it is possible to be sexy and talented (see Clarkson, Kelly), please don't remind the nation that fat people have sex.

Is it justified that Frenchie got shown the door while Antonella continued to perform each week? Am I just being over-sensitive to fatism and continuing to show my bias toward plus-sized Idol contestants? Would Mandisa have been kicked out if candid photos had surfaced of her giving her man some oral pleasure?

You're Gonna Love Me

In honor of tonight's Oscars, here is a delightful article about Jennifer Hudson's style transformation since the days of American Idol. (I don't remember that pink outfit, but holy god.)

"No rail herself, [Hudson's stylist Jessica] Paster said that 'working with a girl that’s curvy has been a dream for me. She likes herself, so she’s not one of those freaks who is like "Oh, my God, I’m fat. Oh, my God, I can’t wear that"... she knows when she looks good in a hot dress.'"

I can't wait to see what she ends up wearing tonight; I'm sure she'll look amazing. I also love that instead of a pre-Oscar party, she had a "praise party" at her church. We're rooting for you, Jennifer!

Thou shalt have no fat idols before me

As anyone who reads Weetapidol could already tell you, I have an automatic fat bias toward talented plus size girls. So when I automatically fell in love with Jordin Sparks, I thought maybe it was because she was not the standard product of the Hollywood machine. And then I even wondered if she was plus sized at all, because maybe she was just a size 8 standing next to a bunch of size 0s, like Allison's model during the recycling challenge on last season's Project Runway. However, then I learned that Jordin's a Torrid Model Search winner, so she is wearing their clothes, which start at size 12. And then I worried that it was my fat bias making me think she was more talented than she is, since I am completely and utterly in love with Lakisha too.

But then I remembered that the only way to get onto the stage next to Ryan Seacrest is if you have enough real talent to overcompensate for a Rubenesque figure (ha! Oh! I am funny). Instead of worrying that I am undeservedly cheering for fat girls, I should probably be irritated that talentless goat singers like Antonella "Adult Content" Barba are being taken seriously just because they look like Bratz dolls.

It probably makes me shallow, but now that I've sorted that out, I'm really more interested in finding out where Lakisha and Jordin are getting their outfits for the show. SO CUTE!
