Frenchie Davis, the plus-size, neon-haired, full-voiced ''American Idol'' semifinalist, has been removed from competition, USA Today reports, because she has acknowledged to the producers that she worked for a porn website four years ago. Fox says she'll be replaced during the Feb. 25 episode.

There was no official word from Fox as to the nature of the 23-year-old singer's work for the unnamed website, or why it was grounds for dismissal when Nikki McKibbin, who acknowledged having worked in strip clubs, was allowed to remain in last year's contest and ended up in the top three. A Fox spokesperson told EW.com that the 23-year-old singer had not violated the show's eligibility requirements, but noted that the rules allow the producers to remove contestants at their discretion. Meanwhile, all traces of her have already been expunged from the ''Idol'' website.

Oh. I had wondered the same thing. She did have an amazing voice alright. I'll bet she gets a contract somewhere anyway. It seems like nowadays the more like a porn star you look/act the more they want you anyway! Maybe just having that in her resume' will be enough to get her in with a big label. I don't blame em for eliminating her though, considering it's s'possed to be family entertainment.

Thanks for the article, that is really hilarious! Some recording label will scoff her up, American Idol's loss because I'm willing to bet she would have won hands down.
