"Idol" Wannabe Goes Topless -- And Strips, Too?


Every "American Idol" seems to have a skin scandal, and this year's involves pretty guy David Hernandez, a gay strip club, and a big trove of half-nude pics of David tending bar.
David Hernandez
Hernandez worked a bartender at a gay club and the saucy snaps of that gig have landed on VoteForTheWorst.com. And today, the manager of a strip club called Dick's Cabaret in Glendale, Ariz. tells the AP that Hernandez performed fully nude and did lap dances for the mostly male clientele at Dick's -- and "made good money" to boot.

No word if he'll face the fate of Season Three's Frenchie Davis -- or last year's Antonella Barba. FOX tells TMZ, "We don't comment on the personal lives of the show participants."

Paris' Guru EXPOSED!


Paris GuruSo you didn't think Paris Hilton was phony enough? Her "Guru" that has supposedly changed her life is actually a Hollywood actor.

His name is Maxie Santillan. He's starred in tons of films and TV shows including "My Name is Earl" and "Pirates of the Caribbean." According to IMDB, Maxie's latest projects are all in "post production" so clearly he has enough free time to whore it up for Paris.

BTW, Maxie's MySpace profile quote makes it clear -- he's the perfect spiritual guide for Paris. It reads, "Burbank can kiss my a**." Paris & the Guru: Click to launch

The Hulk's Sexy Body Slam?


Check out Hulk Hogan's reported mistress, Christiane Plante, doing her best MySpace/Facebook pose. Plante is a former close friend of Brooke Hogan ... but then she went all, 'ooh, I'm totally gonna hook up with your hot old dad.' And, as you may have guessed, the friendship went downhill from there.

Brooke lashed out against Plante in a rant on her MySpace blog (which has since been removed) stating, "When your best friend and one of your closest family members that you have loved unconditionally since your first day on this earth, betrays you together, you could MAYBE find it in yourself to forgive one day...but you will NEVER forget the hurt they caused you and how it hurt the people who mean the most to you."

And then she probably removed Plante from her top friends.

Ashlee Simpson, Drunk or Dingbat?


Ashlee Simpson was on DC's Hot 99.5 this morning and came off sounding a bit dazed and confused.

The Other Simpson Girl giggled about getting a new tattoo and how her favorite lyric to one of her songs goes something like this, "grbbll bllahhh drrrr uhhhhh."

61. Pretty stupid. It's kind of obvious that Noriega was probably sending that to some other teenagers... lover scorned kind of thing. It was a bad excuse for a cut-down, completely unintelligent-- and as a Christian myself, I don't find it deliberately offensive to MY faith. Just a case of the media trying to make more out of something than is there.

62. I think this video is appauling and this boy needs to go. This is the type of person America should idol? Please. Tasteless, adolecent, vulgar and rude. There is nothing amusing about this at all and I feel that American Idol needs to raise the bar and raise its exectations and institute an elimination policy for these types of things, and then provide for alternates. Providing the benefit of doubt, certain American Idol could not have known about this behavior when they moved this creep through, but once discovered, they need to show him the door. Get some standards, American Idol .. step up and take a dang stand!!

63. I don't see what the big deal is. He is a normal teenager, who did something probably as a joke and now it is being blown out of proportion, People need to stop reading to far into things. Leave him be. Just let him sing and go through the competition like everyone else.

64. Just an angry confused punk. His mother did'nt teach him not to use his mouth for farting. Some troglodytes learn how to communicate. Lets hope they don't learn how to vote.

65. This kid is a FREAK and Fox needs to get rid of him. I too believed that American Idoll had high standards for their ppl. If they let this slide.......I may be done and I am a loyal fan. This kid is promoting violent cime and looks like he's a step and a half away from being a shooter in a mass murder. He's a punk alright.....he needs taken behind the woodshed till he has had it successfully had it explained to him that this is not cool and NOT acceptable. Do your duty fox........boot him!

66. I watched last night, watched both boys the other being the Hernandaz young man, and seems they both have been into things that are not becoming of the others on American Idol the word American says it all. They both have good voices but I for one do not believe they should continue........
