Gia Allemand is vying for Jake Pavelka’s heart on The Bachelor, but she vied for men’s attention in a different way when she posed for these racy Maxim pics!

It turns out Gia, one of Jake’s final four remaining women this season on the reality show, wasn’t kidding when she lists her profession as “swimsuit model.”

Apparently, Gia Allemand stripped down for Maxim a few years ago after breaking up with her previous boyfriend, injury-proned MLB pitcher Carl Pavano.

Here’s Pavano’s previous “catcher” as you’ve never seen her …

Gia Allemand: Bachelor hopeful and major heart-stopper.

It’s hard to say if Jake Pavelka is a lateral, downward or upward move from Carl Pavano, who probably went on the disabled list after seeing these photos.

Three things are beyond dispute here, however:

1. This needs to come up during Gia’s hometown date … or else.
2. Carl Pavano is a freaking idiot for (supposedly) cheating on Gia.
3. Jake is a freaking idiot for (supposedly) choosing Vienna Girardi.

Lee DeWyze : American Idol Hopeful

We’re one week away from American Idol taking its show to Hollywood.

Next Tuesday, Ellen DeGeneres debuts as a permanent judge and we already know of at least one singer she’ll be critiquing: Lee DeWyze.

This soulful singer auditioned in Chicago and hauls from Mount Prospect, Illinois. DeWyze has enjoyed a moderately successful career so far, fronting The Lee DeWyze Band and specializing in acousting guitar.

He released a rock album titled “Slumberland” last year.

The smooth crooner once said his goal is to relate to fans:

“I want a connection with my audience in the sense that any song I do reminds them of a specific moment in their lives – not mine.”

How selfless! So far, DeWyze and Andrew Garcia represent our favorite male semifinlists on the show. Below, you can listen to a single by the former and judge his chances on American Idol.
