"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 as 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 Phoenix. 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. FOX tells TMZ, "We don't comment on the personal lives of the show participants."

61. I Find it Amazing that those of you Highly Moral People i'm sure have things that you've done and maybe not so proud of,. If not ,. How about a VERY Popular Saying Live and Let Live,. Not so hot on the Press either making such an Issue out of something that's really his own Business. Doesn't everyone need to earn a living? From what i hear,. he was doing a Fine job,. Chill out and relax,. leave the guy Alone!!

62. Someone above asked why "everyone on this show have a bad past????" It's not a "bad past", honey, it's called having a life. If his life involved nude stripping so what? That has nothing to do with his ability to sing. And if anyone decides not to vote for him *because* he was a stripper instead of a bad performance, then that says more about the voter than it does about David. These contestants aren't trying out for theological seminaries, why should their backgrounds be subject to such scrutiny? He's a good singer and I hope he goes far.

64. You know its sad when america starts getting more immoral people than moral people. I am tired of hearing "so What" or "get with the century"! Time has nothing to do with morals, with excuses like that, it is why gay, stupidity,sin,pregnant befoe marriage, and all those things are getting accepted now days, people are teaching the wrong things to others (including children) when you see EXCUSES everywhere. There is no excuse for immorality. I am glad I am trying to teach my kids morals by not excepting these excuses.
Someone with morals!!!!!!!!!!!

67. So David Hernandez picked up a bit of cash dancing for Mark Foley and Larry Craig, and probably at the Republican National Convention. Big woop. The guy is clearly talented and deserves to get further than most of the girls on the show this year.

69. GROW THE F*&^% UP AMERICA!!! This is a SINGING competition! Not, "who has the the cleanest past and least scandalous personality" competition!! For this to be the land of the free it is sure as hell hard to do anything here with "Freedom Shackles" on you!! American is so f-ed up...royally...and it saddens my heart and sickens my stomach to be associated with such closed-minded, stuck up people.
