American Idol

As previously reported, Antonella Barba was arrested in October on drug charges.

Upon inital intel gathering, this crime seemed serious enough, as the former American Idol sensation was charged with a felony due to allegedly carrying over 100 grams of heroin.

Evelyn Cormier didn't endear herself to 90 Day Fiance fans, but she married David despite their age gap and made a name for herself.

Well, brace yourself for the reality crossover that no one ever expected.

Antonella Barba was maybe the most controversial contestant in American Idol history.

And not much has changed for the former singer many years later.

ABC's rebooted American Idol crowned its first winner on Monday night in an episode that was so bloated with guest appearances, and other pointless things to keep viewers on tenterhooks before getting to the good stuff. 

Seriously, there was so much filler that it could have passed as a whole nother show entirely. 

Katy Perry kissed a boy on the American Idol premiere this past Sunday night...

... and he didn't like it.

Taylor Swift must be cackling somewhere -- if she's even bothering to pay attention to Katy anymore.

American Idol's returned on Sunday, to mixed reactions.

Considering how much American Idol is paying Katy Perry to be a judge on their new iteration of the series, you'd think that they'd have an easier time filling out the judges' table.

Now it sounds like Luke Bryan is being considered to judge the talent competition.

Producers may have actually figured out a way to make people watch the American Idol revival that nobody asked for or needed.

Their reported solution? To hire on Selena Gomez to sit at the judges' table.

American Idol is coming back, but producers doubtless want to make certain that it doesn't seem like the same-old show that ended just a few years ago.

As it turns out, they may have part of that solution lined up. And it's bound to be controversial.
