The staff at tmz.com is reporting that Joe Francis, the magic behind the Girls Gone Wild series, has offered Antonella Barba $250,000 to be a celebrity host in a future Girls Gone Wild video. Yup, you heard that right – celebrity host! Antonella Barba has officially reached celebrity status. Of course when she was more searched than Britney Spears she was already there but now someone with some authority in the entertainment industry has officially declared that Antonella Barba is a celebrity.
Francis told the TMZ staff “We have reached out to Antonella Barba through her family and are trying to reach her directly in order to offer her a hosting job for one of our upcoming video projects. Just like the American Idol judges, we at Girls Gone Wild are looking for a girl next door, with sexiness, attitude, a carefree spirit and a presence that will command the attention of the Nation.” Well he’s definitely hit the nail on the head with regards to his description of Barba – she is a girl next door (Catholic girl), she’s shown she can be sexy, she definitely has attitude (think back to the hair flip eye roll geared towards Randy Jackson), and she’s obviously carefree if she’s willing to repeatedly get on stage and make a fool of herself with her crackling, off-key and pitchy voice.
So do you think Barba will host the GGW video or do you think she’ll hold out for an offer from Playboy Magazine? My vote goes to the Playboy Magazine deal.
