Taking this with a grain of salt: According to TMZ, recent American Idol contestant who showed up to her audition dressed in a pair of barely-there jean shorts and a bikini top is pretty mad that she didn't get through to the next round because, as she says, judge Steven Tyler told her that she "already won the damn thing!"

Considering she is claiming this happened before she sang, we're not sure why she's surprised, but OK...

Additionally, the contestant, Jennifer Diley, claims that Idol producers blindsided her when they forced her to choose from a list of "flirty" songs, and she hadn't rehearsed either song she sang during her audition - "With You" by Jessica Simpson, and "Hero" by Mariah Carey.

Fox had no comment about the claim that producers had influenced her song choice, but Tyler's manager Eric Sherman told TMZ, "You are telling me some provocatively dressed woman is claiming Steven Tyler flirted with her? I am shocked. Next thing you will tell me is Harvey Levin isn't 6' 2"."

You can check out Diley's audition above. Do you think she should have gotten through to Hollywood?
