Mar 4 2008David Hernandez of 'American Idol' danced for dudes
David Hernandez, a Top 24 contest on American Idol, has a secret nude past. Turns out he was a male stripper which may put his Idol future in jeopardy, according to the AP:
The 24-year-old finalist from Glendale, Ariz., once worked as a stripper at Dick's Cabaret, appearing fully nude and performing lap dances for the club's "mostly male" clientele, club manager Gordy Bryan said Monday.
"He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here," Bryan said.
Dick's Cabaret? Wow, what an amazingly subtle name. You might as well call it Penis Bar. Wait, that's perfect. Jesus, it's practically fool-proof. Somebody front me a ton of cash to open a male strip club. I can't promise I won't embezzle the funds, drink all the liquor profits and "accidentally" stock it with female strippers. So, really, you can't lose.

I'm shocked.

He's a dog. Why would anyone, male or female, want him to strip for them. He is even going to be uglier when he grows up.

My theory that all male contestants on this show are gay seems to be pretty right on. I win! WOOHOO!

I saw his profile on millionaire&celeb site millionairefriends.com last week. Is he single now? Just curious.

His face looks too sweet and boyish for a stripper, the visuals alone make me feel like a sex offender.

There's a local joint where I live called "Home Erectus". Talk about subtle!

11. RichPort - March 4, 2008 11:20 AM
I'd call him a pussy, but that would be a misnomer at best.
12. FRIST!!! - March 4, 2008 11:20 AM
I for one am OUTRAGED that your PAST can put your American Idol FUTURE in jeopardy!!!!!!!
I'm also outraged that for a full minute I couldn't remember how to spell jeopardy, and had to scroll back up to the post..
13. The Veggi Whore - March 4, 2008 11:22 AM
there is NO such thing as a sexy male stripper. I wish to hellfire that there were...... but they are ALL gay and wear those intolerable florescent or animal print thongs..
Not that I've been to one ;)
14. absolute2 - March 4, 2008 11:24 AM
He is a cuttie. I saw him on "W e a l t h y R o m a n c e. c o m" last week. Is he single now? Just curious.

# 15 - It's called leaving out an "A" you sshole.
17. Auntie Kryst - March 4, 2008 11:40 AM
I thought all fuck ups on American Idol eventually wind up working at strip clubs after their careers fail, not start at one.
18. Spell Checker - March 4, 2008 11:42 AM
"scewer"?
19. mike - March 4, 2008 11:44 AM
Hey VeggiWhore, I am straight and a sexy male stripper.. My thong is just blue. Do you want me to come dance for you??
20. RichPort - March 4, 2008 11:57 AM
Hey mimi, I pologize for h ving insulted your intelligence. Ple se don't "scewer" me. M ny th nks.

The 'finishing' move in david's act involved a lucky male patron, a quart of petroleum lubricant, and one large hen's egg.
22. Jimbo - March 4, 2008 12:01 PM
For once I can't write anything harsh. I stripped once, mostly for guys, because I needed money for school. So it'd be the pot calling the kettle black. Granted, it was for lunch money and I was in the 4th grade and the audience was mostly relatives, but still, I think I know how David feels.

see? It's funny because it's true.
25. Elexis - March 4, 2008 12:29 PM
His name was Caiden. And he wasn't gay, he slept with a lot of chicks that he met there. I'm surprised no one said anything sooner.
26. havoc - March 4, 2008 12:30 PM
Yeah, he does look like a pillow biter......

Never thought I'd see the day. #32's comment shills for a disguised-purpose site just like all the other spammers.
34. RichPort - March 4, 2008 1:19 PM
#33 - Hi p0nk! It was a take on the comment above it. J-O-K-E. Nice to see you're doing well and remain unbitter. Have a great day.

@ 33 Disguised porpoise? Why do you always have to bring up Wally????

why so bitter, He-Man?
37. iHATEDemo-Commies - March 4, 2008 2:09 PM
Hehhe, never saw that coming. Total FAG.
38. RichPort - March 4, 2008 2:10 PM
Let's name the myriad things that are bitter... coffee grains... chinese melon... drink mix aditives... brocolli rabe... I'm drawing a blank on the rest... anyone?
39. jrz - March 4, 2008 2:10 PM
FAEG!

other things that are bitter? When I worked on a farm we used to pick cranberries and cranberries are awful. They add a ton of sugar to them to make juice, and even the juice is bitter. Well, they're more sour. Okay, then I guess I don't know anything else that is bitter. Except for narcissists...they can be bitter. Or maybe embittered.

You'd think he'd taste like marshmallows, not bitters.
44. TWLSOBFTCS - March 4, 2008 2:16 PM
chagrin! double post.
45. bongo the smiling stoned dog - March 4, 2008 2:18 PM
You guys better stop or else he'll think it's all about him again.
46. Happy_Possum_Smith - March 4, 2008 2:20 PM
This thread now reeks of the emotional rantings of human hubris, hauntingly helped by hapless hoardes of haughty hotheads. pZEROnk, I miss pooping in your breakfast cereal. I also miss playing "find that neck" while you sleep.
Don't judge me.
47. ponk is a fucking moron - March 4, 2008 2:23 PM
stop! you'll make He-Man mad.
48. LadyJane - March 4, 2008 2:26 PM

49. jrz - March 4, 2008 2:27 PM
Jeeze Louise, #47, don't be coy, tell us how you really feel about p0nk? Good lord..........

Did you ever see a snake swallow a baby pig?
51. TWLSOBFTCS - March 4, 2008 2:33 PM
50--Once......while I was living out of my Toyota Tercel somewhere in the Texas panhandle. It gave me nightmares.
52. Happy_Possum_Smith - March 4, 2008 2:41 PM
Possums are unswallowable. We enjoy foiling the best efforts of legless reptilians whilst teasing the same mercilessly. From ecumenical to proselytizing pZEROnk angers himself purposefully, though this situation with pZEROnk is even funnier considering he is attempting to cannibalize that other moronic mudhead REACHport. I just urinated on myself in glee.
Don't judge me.

#22 You are easily the funniest poster, consistently. Rodney Daingerfield fan?

Did you attend Vanderbuilt?

So sorry Possum; I was actually referring to the monkey.
57. SlowMonkey - March 4, 2008 4:08 PM
#56 No - I was too quick to enroll in "get an online degree in weeks" and then I didn't have any money left.
58. jrz - March 4, 2008 4:29 PM
AHAHAHAHAHA Commish.....that was priceless. Ah........yeah.....good times........*moves rocking chair closer to TV tray*
59. spindoc - March 4, 2008 4:31 PM
Gee, a guy who wants to have a career as a SINGER is GAY?!?!?!?! I for one am SHOCKED!
60. Paulo R. - March 4, 2008 6:16 PM
So what? What is the big deal? David is a talented entertainer. He didn't do anything illegal; in fact, the club where he danced did NOT even serve alcohol.
I wish for once America could get past its vouyeristic, immature view of the human body. David's a beautiful guy with a beautiful body and a great singing voice. Let him do his thing. And I will vote for him tonight!
61. Wayne B - March 4, 2008 6:21 PM
I remember a lap dance you gave me one night David and the following morning waking up next to you as well. Give me a shout some time and we can see if you still like your eggs over easy. W.B.
62. herpeslove - March 4, 2008 6:31 PM
He is an attractive man. Many users are his fans on a STD dating site for he helped many positive users on it
63. Skippy - March 4, 2008 6:52 PM
Interesting that American Idol would kick off a fat black chick for posing nude, but keep a gay male dancer. What do they have against boobies???
64. Nobody - March 4, 2008 7:30 PM
So what? It's American Idol, not the CIA. What's with all the background checks?
He looks EXACTLY like Jessica Alba. No wonder he made so much money. Half the pervs were probably visualizing him with a blond wig on his head.
Dick's Cabaret... Too perfect.
65. Davidsfan - March 4, 2008 7:33 PM
U guys like to comment on people you dont know. Why don't u go focus on stopping all this sex offenders that keep hurting the children instead of worring about what other people choose as a job. Just because he use to strip for a living doesn't mean he is a bad person. David is a great singer, talented and he is a great person.
66. TJ - March 4, 2008 7:35 PM
Just imagine in your mind....the semen dripping from his mouth and anus after a fling with some dudes at the club, then he goes to the bathroom to wash his neck and face before the next music set...
GO AMERICAN IDOL!!!!
67. Davidsfan - March 4, 2008 7:40 PM
yall probably upset that he took all your money at the club making you think you had a chance and when the club closed he ignored your stupid ass. Loserrrrssss!
68. tina - March 4, 2008 8:20 PM
It's said he is a playboy, still hunting young sexy girls on BillionaireFriends.c om.
69. moses - March 5, 2008 2:04 AM
He is cute. Just saw his photos on a celebrity and millionaire dating site
called myrichmatch.com. Don't know if it is him.
70. angelo - March 5, 2008 11:36 AM
hey , let's give david a chance to make his future better. let us not be judgemental. everybody has his/her dark past anyways. the guy is very talented. it's his voice now that he is offering. he's no angel and the contest is not solely for the morally upright. he desreves a chance to prove his worth.
71. Tania - March 10, 2008 5:22 AM
So what? He probably made some damn good money working in a joint like that! More power to him! As long as he wasn't a make gigolo or something like that, then it shouldn't matter. No one has a perfectly spotless background. The kid can sing his ass off! Give him a break! He DOES look like he's gay, so if he isn't I'd be surprised. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay ... American Idol is about talent, not sexual preference or orientation.
72. Tania - March 10, 2008 5:32 AM
Oops! I meant, MALE gigolo! LOL!
