Think American Idol is a family-friendly program? Think again. Yesterday — less than one week after Cowell & Co., crowned a top 13 for the first time in Idol history — the show’s producers scrambled to find a new call-in number after discovering that 1-866-IDOLS-13, the intended number for the 13th contestant, was actually…(wait for it) a sex line. Sure, this would be perfect if Bikini Girl (real name: Katrina Darrell, pictured) was still in the competition, but will the special, one-time-only, inconsistent number bode well for the contestant awarded the coveted pimp spot? Or will dialing confusion hurt their chances (if we see Danny, Adam or Lil in any other slot tonight, I think we can assume that the producers are worried about the latter)? Either way, you’ve got to give it up to a phone sex company with the brains to choose a number that takes advantage of clumsy Idol fans, no?
'American Idol' sex-line snafu: And you thought Bikini Girl was racy!

this just show that this season is an epic fail!!!! everything just sucks
bikini girl’s body is gross.
IS NO ONE ELSE DISGUSTED BY PAULA’S “SEXY” COMMENTS ON LAST NIGHT’S SHOW?? IF RANDY OR SIMON HAD DONE THE SAME TO A FEMALE, FOX WOULD BE SUED. SHE ACTED LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL IN HEAT
this chick sucks, and she isn’t even very hot, and by showing up in a bikini she looks desperate, i hate her
bikini girl is just giving “society” (or a large segment) what it expects or wants. Fox chose to let her audition that way in advance. It wasn’t a surprise. Stop hating her for it — FOX could have made the decision for you.
You don’t have to vote for her.
Katrina is SO HOT!!! Have you seen the hundreds of pictures of her in more bikinis, outfits…from every angle at http://www.mykatrinadarrell.com
American Idol should bring back Katrina bikini girl on the finale!! She deserves another chance to be seen and we deserve another chance to see her!!!
