She clears up a lot of the questions about the "porn" website and she sings amazingly. I just saw it on 3/10 at 11 AM EST but check your local listings for when it comes on.

Twinkie, what did she say about the porn website? Was she upset about being dropped from the show? I think she will do better in the long run by not being on the show. I hear the contracts they have to sign for AI, basically gives AI complete ownership of them.

I thought she looked horrible with her orange hair and a very very low cleavage dress. Half of her boobs were sticking out.

she said she modeled lingerie for the website four years ago and at that time, the website WAS NOT courting men who were interested int underage girls. She said what it does now might be different, she doesn't know. She told the producers about it ahead of time. She says she has her own theories about why they kicked her off the show. She didn't share what they were. She said she was NEVER topless, she was in lingerie. She said she NEVER passed for under 18 even when she was.

Star pointed out that last year, one of the AI contestants had been a stripper before, so she doesn't understand why they were worried about this.

Frenchie said she's taking it step by step, finding a good lawyer, then management, etc. She said there are some offers on the table. She said she doesn't regret anything in her past as it all adds up to make her the person she is today. SHe said she has evolved a lot in the last four years and she is proud of that and of who she is.

I don't like the orange hair, either, but it is considered stylish in some circles. :) The woman has cleavage you could get lost in for weeks! She was much less exposed than most of the starlets you see on the SAG awards or other shows, it's just that she's probably a KK cup! LOL

She's definitely got pipes. I hope she gets an opportunity to sing more. I'm sorta glad she won't be pegged in the pop star category, though. :)

i think frenchie handled herself well on the view
i agree that she chose the wrong clothing but i think shes is a real cutie and she has a great personality..too bad things didnt work out with AI
but im sure she'll be a happy person anyway..but i dont think their reasonings for booting her out had anything to do with the fact that she modeled for a porn website..just my opinion.

I think it's truly sad that AI could have really developed a true star and someone, somewhere made a very poor decision.

Thank you, Hotlantan for the streamline's to the interview and the song.

Didn't want to start another thread.... (For Jen..LOL)
Ok Frenchie on Caroline Rhea 3/19.

She has on a VERY low cut black sweater with major cleavage. Caroline said the "girls" we're staring at her.

Her real name is Frenchel. Pretty much the same stuff we've seen. Caroline asked her if she regretted working at the website and she said no, it's part of who she is.

She said it really warmed her heart about the number of people who have supported her with the petition, etc.

She said it was really neat to go to the Grammies and have people she was a fan of say they were a fan of hers.

She interviewed Robin Williams and laughed the whole time.

She got to meet Aretha Franklin, and told her she is the reason she sings.

She said that it has been a blessing for her in many ways.

Now she's singing I Have Nothing (Whitney)....
She did a nice job. Lots of applause, cheers..
Caroline teasing her about the cleavage again. It is pretty distracting.
Now she's singing in German. She sang Jesus Christ Superstar in Germany. Wow.

Plans for the future: Finishing college, offers on table..Meetings with record labels. She has a lawyer.

That's it.. :)
