American Idol contestant David Hernandez can sing…and strip!

Hernandez's old boss at Dick's Cabaret in Arizona totes sold him out on Monday.

According to his former employer, the Idol finalist appeared fully nude and performed lap dances for the club's 'mostly male' clientele.

"He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here," said Mr. Boss Man of David.

It's not clear whether a history as a stripper could disqualify someone from the competition. BUT, just a few years ago, our beloved Frenchie was kicked off the show just for having some racy pictures.

THIS is a lot worse than that!

Fox, which airs Idol, has yet to comment.

Last week, Hernandez was praised by the judges after his performance of The Temptations' Papa Was a Rolling Stone.

Tisk tisk…what else can David roll?

Wonder what Hernandez plans to sing for tonight's 80's challenge… Pour Some Sugar On Me? Or, maybe Shook Me All Night Long?

      and who cares - has nothing to do with his singing ability.

      hahaha,
      Everyone has some screwed up past..
      But wy would he go on American idol, when he knew that this could come back to haunt him?
      Idiot!

      Ya'll know the strippers double as "escorts" right? I haven't met a "stripper" who hasn't turned tricks. He's hot, let's see pictures of THAT!

    28. Cerag says – reply to this


      28

      I doubt that AI's producers will kick him off of the show. He's too popular.

      Why didn't you report this when the rumors originally came up? (still, thank you for giving us the confirmation.)

    29. OJ in Vegas says – reply to this

      No wonder he has been seen all over town with Ryan Seacrest.

      And besides, Frenchie did full-on porn. David only took his clothes off.

    32. agreeone says – reply to this


      32

      I still love him. It seems he is dating online now. I saw his profile on "W e a l t h yR o m a n c e. c om" last week. iS he single now?

    33. Cassie says – reply to this


      33

      David HAD to know that this would come out. hopefully it won't affect his participation in the competition.

    34. MyTwoCents says – reply to this


      34

      If he was sleeping with the customers for money, then he's a ho and doesn't qualify to be anyone's idol.

      Hey, Perez, Vote the Worst.com broke that story. You need to give them some credit.

      Why in the hell do they mainly pick gay boys to be on this show?

    38. Katita says – reply to this


      38

      I hope they don't kick him off the show. It's not like he's breaking the law or anything! His career can't be over just because he stripped - besides, it didn't hurt Blu Cantrell!

    39. eyepoker says – reply to this

      Good job cropping Vote for the Worst's logo out of the picture and stealing the story from them. At least credit them! VFTW is my favorite site, and you look foolish stealing a story from them they posted last week.

    42. Tom says – reply to this

      Yeah, maybe you should give credit to where this story originally came from… VoteForTheWorst. This is old news to everybody on that site.

      Um. Diablo Cody has a fricking Oscar. So Hernandez's naughty past emerges right on the heels of her major win. Do you really think Idol producers would boot him given Ms. Cody's dirty Cinderella story?

      He's talented. Certainly one of the better ones. And he's ridiculously easy to look at. No wonder he made so much money.

    49. KMONEY says – reply to this


      49

      So what if he was a stripper. It has nothing to do with him being on American Idol. Lets face it that most creative people who want to be singers dancers and actors. They always have shitty or unimprotant jobs before they make it big. Its part of fighting for a career that only a select talented few are ever going to attain anyway. Good luck David! Dont listen to the people trying to bring you down. Your one of the top 3 on the show and deserve to be there. To the people who sold him out. They should be ashamed of themselves but karma will come back to them.

      51

      Why do people care that he used to strip? So what?! Vocal chords are not connected to the clothing are they?!! I swear every little detail is picked apart and analyzed. While on Idol, he should sing and take his shirt off..a first for A.I. ;)

    52. la nena says – reply to this


      52

      He can give me a lap dance whenever he wants…………we all have skeletons in the closet…give him a break!!

      Re: bgirl – The intelligent assumption would be that it was some sort of costume party…however, we shouldn't assume intelligence for you, should we?

    54. Eyewitness says – reply to this


      54

      I am from Phoenix and have been to a couple of strip shows. Most of the dancers claim to be "straight," but watching them do their lap dances really makes you wonder. They have to make the $ so that involves being convincing to the clients. That is part of their act. They usually grind on the guys (usually old ones), let them grope them, kiss and even let them lick their naked bodies, which is pretty gross especially when they have been drinking and some have cigarette breath. Eww.

    55. Theif says – reply to this


      55

      This is OLD news. And GIVE CREDIT to VoteForTheWorst for that picture! Didn't you get sued over something like this before?

    56. TRINA says – reply to this


      56

      IS'NT IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE I THOUGHT HE WAS SORT OF GAY,BUT NO MATTER WHAT HE IS KIND OF CUTE!!!!

    57. Maniac says – reply to this


      57

      America will not be happy about this, but the guy can sing. I wonder if he will go the way of Frenchie Davis.

    58. The Truth says – reply to this


      58

      The site that Frenchie's pictures appeared on promoted "underage" and "barely legal" girls. I doubt any of them WERE actually younger than 18, but that was the problem — that she had a business relationship with a website that advertised what would legally be child pornography (i.e. if the girls were underage). So, in that regard, Frenchie's offense was worse.

      Vote For The Worst broke this story you fat fuck! Give them some credit.

      you know what is funny. is if you look at his american idol profile, he says if he couldnt sing the talent wish he could have would be dancing! haha..
      what a douche.
      hot douche tho.

    61. EuropEll says – reply to this


      61

      Hey Perez, it was just last week that a former stripper won an oscar, so why would it be such a big deal? Everyone should be able to move up in life.

    62. Johnboy says – reply to this

      Hey! That's my best friend Spencer! You know, the "tranny in the wheelchair"! That tranny happens to be Cher! This is awesome!

      Screw David! Spencer - you are gonna be famous! =)

    64. Jaime says – reply to this


      64

      P.S. If anyone didn't get it, I was replying to a comment about my friend in the picture - not David. I'll go with the majority vote on that one.

    65. GGC says – reply to this


      65

      Of course David's boss in going to sell him out. It's great publicity for his business. I used to go to Dick's when he was working there. He had an amazing body but that damn bow tie that he would wear with his speedos and sandals was just plain annoying. I did get a dance from him once and his skin was silky smooth and a nice bubble butt.

      Who care is he is gay or was a stripper! He sing and look very good! :-)

    72. Sarah Kate says – reply to this


      72

      If they don't kick him off for this, that's a double standard. They can't kick off Frenchie for dirty pictures without doing the same for males on the show. However, I'm sure that American Idol, along with the rest of the world, will do its best to keep the double standard going.

      And I just gave myself away as an uber-feminist who loves celeb gossip.

      He was a stripper,big deal.Everybody have a past.Leave the guy alone.

      74

      I bet he had a very good experience "HOLDING" & "SINGING" to a different kind of MICROPHONE..He can do it standing or kneeling. Either way, a very talented one. GO AHEAD GURL, GO DOWN ON UR KNEES AND SING TO PAPA!

    75. cole says – reply to this


      75

      Get off his ASS. So what! He striped! WHO CARE!! Look at Vanessa Williams and look how far she got in live. Everyone understands that things like this happen, but this will make him a strong contestant if idol keeps him….

      When you have the talent of David Hernandez he should go for whatever makes him happy! What he chooses to do with his life is his business. Go David!

    78. Onelove says – reply to this


      78

      Who cares half of the contestants are gay! Its about what you bring to the table not what you do in your private time. We are all one people. Gay is only a lampshade. We all have a different lampshades that we wear and that is what makes us unique individuals. Genetically we are all 99.9% alike no matter what skin color is. The skin color is what makes up .1% difference. So who cares. Gay is beautiful.

    81. Richard says – reply to this


      81

      Why is it that the world is always looking for something bad or some way to hurt or get at people. so he stripped big deal, some people need to get a life.
      I say good luck to all the contestants!!!!! good luck to the biker nurse!!!!
      SOoooooooooooooooooooooooo Hot!!!!!!!!!

      Re: What a FUCKIN HOMO FAG!!! – You have issues. What are you so afraid of? Look at yourself. gay does not affect you so why do you hate? Focus on you and be happy and love a person for their heart and not who they love. You are not God and therefore you should not judge.

      Perez..You should be ashamed! As a gay man, you shouldn't be posting anything that is going to slam one of our own..besides, aren't YOU a big queen yourself.. at least David isn't…and typical of you to steal VFTW's thunder..since THEY posted it first…shame on you! We need to take your gay card away!

    86. Elinore says – reply to this


      86

      So is this trying to say that he's gay or just that he's had a risque past? I have to stick with the old adage, if you've got it, flaunt it. Also, I can't tell, are those trannys or drag queens?

      So what !!! Who cares? We are looking for singing talent. Geeezzzz can't the guy have a life before this??? Let him be. He's not picking on anyone else. Let it go !

      89

      There are strippers who are good mothers and honorable women.
      Why can't a man work as a stripper and continue to have a "normal" lefe. Surely that is not a crime, as long as hr did not steal the money! Let's not be hypocritical: which one of us has not done something a bit "marginal"?!?

    91. oh jeez says – reply to this


      91

      I went to high shool with David, he's a great guy regardless of his past. He has always been the nicest person and has never done or said anything to hurt anyone. He obviously has a lot of talent and should be judged based on that. I realize this is a singing competition to find a good role model for today's youth…but seriously!!!!

    92. tanya says – reply to this

      Who cares………….it doesnt change how hot he is…it just means that everyone can love him now!!!

      yummy!!!! he can give me a lap dance

    94. Tara says – reply to this


      94

      It's not like he was necessarily hiding it… I don't think the first thing someone says when they walk into the room of an audition is, "Hello, my name is David, and I have stripped for gay men before." Though, I agree, there have been plenty of previous contestants on Idol that have been removed from the competition because of similar issues, so it wouldn't really be fair to those prior contestants to now let this guy stay on the show.
