Reuben Studdard Suffers The Idol Cur$e

wenn-ruben.jpg

It's the American Idol curse!

Like a few of his fellow AI alums, Ruben Studdard is facing financial woes after being dropped from his record label.

The "Velvet Teddy Bear" owes $254,119 in state and federal taxes.

Yikes!

Maybe Simon Cowell can sweep in and save him?

Oh no, wait, don't let Simon know that we know he is so secretly sensitive. It's on the downlow.

Nobody's got to know!

      you know what you never see here? exciting stories about Merle Haggard, or Carol Channing, you know, REAL stars…

      Major Dude would like to sincerely apologize for his recent posts.

      It seems the Major is suffering from the syndrome Doctors refer to as:

      vonteeseitis. This debilitating disease is a recent phenonom that the medical journals are just now reporting on. Some of the symptoms are, putting whit pancake on your face for absolutely NO REASON at all, not shaving your legs,
      being oddly attracted to fancy lad bloggers dogs and a general case of constant erection…

      I think I speak for us all when we wish Major Dude a speedy recovery, because, after all, he is no….

      DITA VON TEESE - LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

      Taylor Hicks, Clay Aiken and now Ruben Studdard dropped from label? This proves that American Idol is a great show but not a great career seeker.



    12. 12

      I'm already suffering fatigue. The A.I. curse may just be stupidity.

      Then too, these singers have been targeted for exploitation by vultures. It is a shame. Let's see if the wife stands by Mr. Studdard through these difficult times.

      The ONLY thing this silver back SUFFERS from is total LACK OF TALENT.



    21. 21

      People Feel Sorry for him because he is a poor, downtrodden black, that's the only reason they win. Poor Abused colored folks, they just needs a little HEP.



    22. 22

      SAVE THE WHALE!!!



    25. 25

      If I had a penny for every calorie he consumed while watching TV last night, I'd be able to pay that bill for him.



    26. 26

      The fat pig spent what little money he earned from CD sales on food.



    27. 27

      Are we suppose to feel sorry for these people? They get a little fame and they start to live their lives like they've been raking in millions for years. They're stupid. What they should have done was SAVE most of their money.

    31. 31

      American Idol is just for entertainment… history of the show proves that runner up's can be more successful then the winners. WTF!? I only watch the auditions, then I stop watching altogether cuz it's pointless…



    32. 32

      I don't know if people will ever forgive him? Isn't he the one who attacked that poor lady biting off her face??



    33. 33

      Why is it that all of the Idols experiencing financial troubles are of the black persuasion? He was so overrated. May he go flip burgers from now on.



    34. 34

      He and his crew recently stayed at my hotel and they smoked pot in almost every room they were in. Perhaps he spent all his money on the pot.



    35. 35

      PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN YOU ALL NEED TO GO FUCK YOURSELF. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM AND HE IS THE MOST SWEETEST DOWN TO EARTH PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET! HE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS GOD BLESSES PEOPLE LIKE THAT STAY STRONG REUBEN! LOVE YOU!



    36. 36

      These dummies shouldn't have gone out spending the money they got like there was no tomorrow and now look at them. Why is it the one's who're in trouble are the black winners?



    37. 37

      Yeah, you have to sing to make money on a record label you can't just sit in front of the TV eating pudding.



    38. 38

      Wow - and I was just complaining last week since my husband and I owe $800 combined on our taxes this year! I'll take $800 over a quarter million$ any day!!
