Is David Hernandez A Gay Strip Club Dancer?
A manager at a male strip club in Phoenix told The Associated Press that American Idol contestant, David Hernandez, once worked as a stripper at his club. Gordy Bryan, the manager of Dick’s Cabaret in Glendale, Arizona, told the AP on Monday that the 24 year old David Hernandez appeared fully nude while working at the club 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,” Bryan said.
According to Bryan, Hernandez steadily worked at the club for three years until September 30, 2007.
“He never renewed his licensing with the state, so he hasn’t been on my roster since then,” Bryan said.
The manager went on to say that he was aware that Hernandez was a vocalist but that Hernandez never sang at the club. Bryan said he believes Hernandez stopped working at the club because of his participation in “American Idol.” David Hernandez has never, of course, been referred to as a stripper, former stripper, or even a dancer during the “American Idol” competition.
How It Came To Light
The whole thing came to light last week when photos of a scantily clad Hernandez were first posted on VoteForTheWorst.com, a site that encourages people to vote for the worst contestants instead of the best ones on Idol.
“It was like moths to a flame,” said VoteForTheWorst.com founder Dave Della Terza. “As soon as I posted that, we started getting 10, 20 letters every single day from people saying, ‘Yeah, he’s a stripper in Phoenix.’”
Like any good website owner, Terza (with help from other members of the VoteForTheWorst.com community), scoured the internet for information and photos of Hernandez doing his thing. Terza said he contacted the club to confirm David Hernandez had worked there, but they never got back to him.
Will David Hernandez Be Disqualified From American Idol?
It’s not clear at this time whether or not a stripper past would disqualify Hernandez from “American Idol” should the rumors prove to be true. In 2003, finalist Frenchie Davis was dismissed because of her appearance on an adult Web site; but last year, Antonella Barba remained in the competition after racy photos of her surfaced on the Internet.
Fox has not yet responded to the rumors. As of right now David Hernandez is still scheduled to participate in the American Idol Top 8 Men performance show tonight.
Heh, he didn’t renew his gay strip club license.
I wonder how this is going to affect him being on the show.

I thought he looked familiar!
Ugh – what a joke…just one more reason why Reality TV is crap…

@ Mike – Hmm… That’s too easy.
It was too obvious of a joke to not say it…I just manned up!
I’m not sure if “manned” up is the appropriate term.
In the now immortal words of Jack Burns (Meet the Parents) ‘keep the snake in the cage Focker’.

Sweet! Is that a Gay David Hernandez stripper photo in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
If you’re talking to Mike it’s probably a gay David Hernandez stripper photo in his pocket.
Although Jason is the one who picked out the pic of him spread-eagle on the couch with a bit of armpit hair showing…not me!
I figured you’d like it.
Good, because I’m not sure how I’d truly feel if he was happy to see me.
Should we exchange numbers or MySpace page addresses? Yeah, it might get complicated.
It might make you rethink some of those Thinkbox PI pictures of you sitting on the toilet…
Regardless…he is HOT as an Idol singer and from the pictures I have seen, he is hotter without his clothes on. I’d do him for a few hours no doubt.
Thanks Larry

Don’t group us all with Larry. We don’t even know that guy.
After having watched it last night (we’re a day behind, here
) I’m going to make the prediction that while I don’t know what will happen with David Hernandez, in 2-3 years Danny Noriega will have gotten a boob job and be living a different kind of life, if you know what I mean.

Well, I agree about the boob job, but I’m not sure he’ll be living his life much differently.
Hey, good news. This article is #1 in Google Search for “David Hernandez Armpit“!
Thanks to me! I had no idea comments helped stuff like that, omg!
Ha! Yeah, Google sees comments as updates to the pages and ads them to the index – at least that’s my understanding of it.
Maybe he needs some cute and sexy underwear from my website to make him feel sexier when he sings. We all have skeletons in our closets, and I am no judge of any man’s character. I say, good for you David!
It’s too bad that this news get published at important moment of his life…I hope it doesn’t bring much effect.
