'Idol': The porn connection
When you try to make the most wholesome show on TV - as the folks at "American Idol" do, as they try to satisfy teeny-boppers and their grandmas at the same time - even the most tangential link to pornography is going to get some attention.
In past years, contestants Frenchie Davis and David Hernandez got the boot after word of their extracurricular activities - respectively, topless photos on the Internet and stripping in a gay bar - came to light.
Expanding the Top 12 to a Top 13 this season presented a dilemma for "Idol" producers, because they had only secured 12 phone numbers for voting - and the numbers above and below the 12 secured numbers were owned by phone-sex companies. The show found an extra phone number to use, just in time for the first week of voting.
Now, contestant Megan Joy Corkrey - the tattooed divorced mom from Sandy, Utah - has stumbled into another small problem. The singer last week dropped her married name, Corkrey, and is now billed as Megan Joy.
Alas, there's already a Megan Joy out there: A porn star whose credits (according to E! Online) include "Sorority Sex Kittens: Kappa Kappa Sex" and "Cheerleader Auditions 6" (for those who thought the stories of "Cheerleader Auditions" 1 through 5 weren't thoroughly explored).
