On a lighter note, Huffington Post is reporting (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/04/idol-contestant-danced-_n_89743.html) that American Idol contestant, David Hernandez (pictured abaove) , once worked as a dancer at a gay strip club. Apparently this past employment will not prevent Hernandez from remaining as a show contestant. I suspect this news will boost viewership - which is probably why American Idol wants Hernandez to remain a contestant. Here are highlights from HP:LOS ANGELES — The Associated Press has learned that David Hernandez will remain on "American Idol," despite his past as a male stripper. Hernandez will perform Tuesday night as planned, said a person close to the show who is not authorized to comment publicly and asked not to be identified.
A strip club manager confirmed to The AP on Monday that the 24-year-old from Glendale, Ariz., was a stripper at Dick's Cabaret in Phoenix for three years before joining the Fox singing competition. Fox has declined to comment on Hernandez or his status.
