Reuben Studdard Suffers The Idol Cur$e

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!
