Email: ketchlives@yahoo.com Keywords: o'donohue, becky, jessie, maxim, american idol, simon cowell, twin, brittenum Update Date: 2/23/2006 2:03:22 PM Hits: 413 Descrption:  Move over Brittenum Twins, meet the O’Donohue’s . . . well, at least the one that’s on American Idol. Becky O’Donohue brought some of the “twin” magic to this year's competition, one of three talented “twin” sets to make it to Hollywood (though her twin, Jesse, couldn’t participate due to throat problems), leading this season to be dubbed by at least one of the judges as the “Year of the Twins.” Things haven’t turned out so well for any of them. Joshua and Jarrett Simmons didn’t make it past Hell Week, and the infamous Brittenum twins nearly deconstructed before being hauled off to jail on an identity theft crime. So, perhaps it was only a matter of time. The day the semi-finals started, Extra revealed that Becky O’Donohue, the last surviving twin on the show, had done a provocative layout in Maxim magazine with her sister, Jessie. Blogs, such as IdolsRising.com, who were fortunate enough to have her name in our tags and keywords, have received unprecedented hits as people tried to discover more information about the O’Donohue’s and their photo shoot. Rumors of that shoot were old news to O’Donohue fans, and considered scandalous – especially since the pictures contain no nudity, and since former semi-finalist from season two Ashley Hartman had also posed for that same publication in the past. So, what’s made the story so titillating? Probably the hype from Extra, who dubbed their coverage of this non-event as the “Dirty Little Secret Exposed” – an obvious effort on their part to find anything on any semifinalist to create a ratings boost for their show. Interestingly, some are wondering if insider information may have been responsible for the leak. Extra correspondent Terri Seymour is seen showing the Maxim video to Idol judge, Simon Cowell. Connection? The two are dating. In related news, Becky is the odds favorite to be evicted in tonight’s elimination show, according to the sports betting site, Gambling911.com.
