Joanna Pacitti Kicked Off American Idol
Although 'American Idol' hopeful Joanna Pacitti was chosen to advance in Wednesday night's competition, FOX released a statement Thursday saying she is "ineligible to continue" and will be replaced with 26-year-old Felicia Barton, Entertainment Weekly reports.
For several weeks, Pacitti's eligibility came into question, after it was revealed that she had a former record deal with A&M Records and 19 Entertainment, which is the production company behind 'Idol.'
Although Barton was seen being booted on Wednesday night's competition, she's getting a second chance and replacing Pacitti. Fox's officials have not specified why Pacitti has been disqualified, but insiders say her previous music career has deemed her ineligible.

too bad Paciitti got booted from Idol; at least she got a ton of publicity out of staying on this long, hopefully she still makes it in the entertainment biz
