David Hernandez will be sent home BEFORE tonight's competition even begins.

Why?

Well are you ready for the first American Idol SCANDAL of the season???

Hernandez is a male stripper at a gay strip joint called Dick's Caberet in Glendale, AZ. He performs fully nude lap dances for the mostly male clientèle there.

Here's the "Dancing with Dudes" A.P. article:

And you can view these internet photos of a scantily-clad David Hernandez bar tending at a separate gay bar here:

I'm not into "American Idol" but my spys tell me that Archuletta is the person to beat

David Hernandez may lose support now that his past has been "exposed"...

Yup, here it is: the biggest primary in Ohio in years. Does anyone care about American Idol today? Really?

I would hope no one cares about AI, but knowing the dumding down effect that reality TV has on people. it would not surprise me that losers out there are more worried about that than the reality of the world.

Hey, 5:53 - thanks for your brilliant observation.. But you see, this IS a TV (ok, MEDIA) blog.. And Idol IS on TV.. So, um, you might want to go check out a "political-type" blog. There are plenty of them, trust me.

You, like many others here, like to waste time posting irrelevant comments that make you feel better about yourself.

Are you a disgruntled Idol reject, perhaps? Lost a local karaoke competition, maybe? An out-of-office has-been drunkard politician or TV personality? Or wait - BOTH? Charlie Luken, is that you?
