Her famously restricting ties to the world of bondage won't get "American Idol" reject Frenchie Davis booted off of her latest gig -- in fact, it probably got her the job!
Like many a wannabeen before her, the Season 2 loser performed at a Toronto street fair over the weekend, but this was no local balloon festival -- it was a leather and fetish fair! The safe word is "desperate."
Frenchie's kinky gig actually makes perfect sense, since going on "Idol" requires being a masochist.

The "American Idol" graveyard -- aka Broadway -- has just inherited its latest crypt keeper -- Season 2 winner Ruben Studdard. Sorry!
Although abysmal record sales forced the plus-size 29-year-old schvitzing velvet teddybear to be dropped last month by his label, J Records, Ruben isn't performing at local balloon festivals or housing developments just yet. Studdard will hit the road this fall as part of the 30th anniversary of the national tour of Tony-award winning musical "Ain't Misbehavin'." The joint is jumpin'!
Joining Rube will be fellow "Idol" castoff Frenchie Davis, who previously spent over four years on the Great White Way in "Rent." At least for now, these two wannabeens will still be able to pay their rent!

"Real World: Hawaii's" Ruthie got some action over the weekend -- grinding all over and making out with a lady friend as TMZ cameras rolled. Real hot!
TMZ spotted Ruthie, aka the rehabber from the eighth season, at the Reality Cares charity event benefiting Operation Smile at Joseph's on Saturday. There's no better place for an impromptu lap dance than fundraiser for the repair of facial deformities of children in poverty-stricken places around the world! Classy!
Other "stars" extending their 15 minutes of fame to the cause were "The Amazing Race" hottie Reichen Lehmkuhl -- with equally hot trainer/boyfriend Ryan Berry -- Holly and Bridget from "The Girls Next Door," "Queer Eye" culture cutie Jai Rodriguez, who compared cup sizes with TMZ's cameraman, and "American Idol" castoff Frenchie Davis, who belted out the "Dreamgirls" show stopper, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But she went.
All this and more in today's sapphic edition of Star Catcher.

The Great White Way is riddled with the discarded musical corpses of former "American Idol" wannabeens of yore.
As of May 29, Season One finalist Tamyra Gray will join the cast of "Rent" (she previously starred in "Bombay Dreams"), and simultaneously, rejoins the club of former "A.I." contestants who have been making ends meet on Broadway. It's not a J.Hud Oscar but it beats the late shift at Applebees!
Other contest losers trading Hollywood dollar bills for Playbills include: Season Two's impeached diva Frenchie Davis, who has been performing in "Rent" off and on for four years, Season Four's creepy crooner Constantine Maroulis, who hammed it up in "The Wedding Singer" last year, and Anthony Federov (memba him?), who just this month joined the revival of long-time hit, "The Fantasticks." While Diana Degarmo, who came in second on Season Three, took a break from her soccer-mom 'do and non-existent record sales to don a beehive in "Hairspray."
Even Fanatasia Barrino, who actually won "Idol" and at one time sold millions of records, has hit the NYC stage. To her defense, Miss B. has been getting rave reviews and selling out the house as Miss Celie in Oprah's production of "The Color Purple."
So while America may have become immune to the McPheever ("Over It," anyone?), you never know, she may just turn up on Broadway -- in "Kats."
