Deciding whether, and WHEN, to "leak" photos or videos of quasi-celebrities or fresh-off-the-bus celebs, like this particular chick, has got to be akin to deciding whether to launch nuclear weapons or not...it is a "Use it or Lose it" type situation.
Whoever had these photos of this cute chick must have calculated that she is going to LOSE fairly soon in the American Idol competition, and that he would get the most bang for his buck, or similarly the most "bucks for this particular BANG", if he LAUNCHED his missles now. After this chick loses and is relegated to either doing Surreal Life Skits or ACTUAL PORN, the photos would not be the bombshell(s) they once were, but rather a actual piece of her RESUME/Portfolio.
Who's dick is that in those pictures? It is obviously NOT Simon's...or Paula's
