An Interview With LA-eX’s Antonella Barba, Former ‘American Idol’ Contestant

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 4th, 2011

Antonella Barba has had the most interesting post ‘American Idol’ career I’ve ever heard of.

Ever since making it to the Top 24 in ‘Idol’s’ sixth season, where she made it as the 16th contestant, Barba has done everything from going back to school to dabbling in politics and rapping.

“When I did ‘American Idol,’ I took a semester off my junior year. All I had left was my senior year and I was so close to being done… so [after 'Idol'] I just crammed that semester into summer classes and I ended up still being able to graduate with all of my class,” says Barba during a phone interview.

After graduating, the New Jersey native then began working in politics. Yes, politics. My respect level for her rises again.

While she did continue to perform and work on music after her ‘Idol’ days, Barba spent about a year encouraging youth to vote in the 2008 elections.

Deadmau5 Asks Fans To Design New Head

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 1st, 2011

Deadmau5 is asking his fans to design him a new head, reports CTV.

The Canadian electronic producer, who has a major underground following, has started a contest online to see who can design the best mouse head, which he so famously trademarked.

The contest, which can be viewed here, has some guidelines though. The designs must be original, may be created physically or by using Photoshop, and be 100 per cent creatively controlled by the designer.

The winner and a guest will win 2 VIP passes to a Deadmau5 concert in Los Angeles, with travel and two nights’ accommodation included. The next 10 top submissions will either receive VIP passes as well or official signed merchandise. Either way, pretty sweet deal.

Submissions are accepted until July 12, and fans will be able to vote online to pick a winner, who will be announced August 3.

If you’re creative, love Deadmau5, and love free things, I strongly recommend that you do this. If I could draw or build things, I would totally do it, but I’m limited to stickmen drawings. Good luck to all those who enter.
