Tampa Strip Clubs: Source: ‘American Idol’ contestant Chris Golightly dropped over contract …

February 20, 2010

The curly haired Golightly joins a string of “Idol” contestants who emerged from the thousands who audition nationwide, only to be disappointed when the show decides their work or personal history is a problem.
Last season, Joanna Pacitti was shown advancing to the top 36 after “Hollywood Week” but was later replaced by Felicia Barton. Pacitti released an album in 2006 and had ties to 19 Entertainment, which produces “Idol” with FremantleMedia North America. She was also deemed “ineligible to continue” in a Fox news release.
In contrast, the singing competition allowed past contestants David Hernandez and Antonella Barba to stay on after it surfaced that he once worked as a nightclub stripper, and racy photos that appeared to be her leaked online. And Nikki McKibbin says she was upfront with “Idol” producers about her stripping past before she became a finalist during the show’s first season.
