joanna pacitti might be cheating

American Idol doesn’t exactly have the greatest reputation in the world when it comes to fairness and being as open as they claim, so it would be a bad idea if a personal friend of the producers and a music industry vet made it to the finals. Oh hey guess what…

Star reports that Joanna Pacitti is no newcomer to the business, having released a major label album in 2006, starred in a MTV documentary, opened for Sheryl Crow and having her songs featured in movies and TV shows, including The Hills. But that's nothing compared to her connection to two executives at the L.A. offices of 19 Entertainment — the company that produces Idol.Michelle Young and Roger Widynowski have very personal connections to the Joanna, who has referred to Michelle as her "manager" and "best friend," and credited Roger with "helping me get where I am today." Plus, the three of them even lived in the same L.A. apartment complex for several years.

Well whatever.  She’s hot so I think what’s she’s doing is fine.  It would be different if she were ugly.  If you have an advantage in life you should use it.  Like I used to work at Sears, so I knew the guy in the portrait studio, and so when I took my senior portrait with one foot on a ladder and holding my clarinet, I got all the copies I needed for family and friends.  Turns out I only needed one, but that’s beside the point.
