Hernandez: From "Idol" Lockdown to Chow Down

Now that he's been booted from "Idol," David Hernandez can finally get some freedom -- and get his Mr. Chow on!


Record execs are trying to get a single written for the former stripper and fast, as TMZ first reported, which was news to David when our cameras got him last night.

Great, now that the guy is off that show, we get to hear about it for the next two weeks. Meanwhile TMZ cameras follow him around everywhere he goes and print everything he says and does and call it an "exclusive". Apparently the clock over the TMZ desk stopped, because this guy's 15 minutes are up.

He should plan to steer clear of gay basher Amy Sedaris, that's all I can say.

While they're hurrying to write him that song to cash in, at least he has something to fall back on. ;P

I think his singing sucks

i would NEVER pay for anything from him...a cd or a lap dance

maybe it's because im a girl though. I think his voice is terrible, im glad he's off the show.

i don't think i will continue watching this year. they say it's the best season, and i think it's AWFUL

um, lets keep comments semi-related to the post...

but spodeeodee....

I look at the cancer deal like this...you know, if you are already dying, and IF they had told him he has no chance, then why bother quitting now? the damage is done. BUT if they could guarantee him that he could recover from this if he quit....im sure he would.

anyways

david hernandez still is stink a rooney in my book.

hope he cashes in on his ai stuff though
