American Idol Contestant Has Stripper Past

So -- who's coming with me to Dick's Cabaret?

Those of you who don't read this blog regularly may not be aware that I am currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona, staying with my parents like the loser that I am.

I lived in the Phoenix area for the first 20 years of my life, and I had NO IDEA that they had male strip clubs here.

But they do!

And David Hernandez, of American Idol fame, used to work at one. Well, several:

A former boss confirmed that the singer, who sailed through voting last week thanks to a raved-about rendition of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," once worked as a male stripper at a Phoenix nightclub.

Gordy Bryan, manager of the innuendo-laden Dick's Cabaret, told the Associated Press that Hernandez stripped down fully nude during his performances and also gave lap dances to the club's "mostly male" patrons.

"He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here," Gordy said, adding that Hernandez worked at the club for roughly three years, shimmying off the dance floor for good Sept. 30 in anticipation of his TV debut.

So whatever. The dude worked in a gay strip club. Big whoop. That's not a scandal.

Also: they may think it's a gay strip club, but it's about to get very straight, when I call up all my Phoenix girlfriends and crash the place tonight. Rebecca? Saranden? Tiffy? Kate? I know a bunch of you are in town for Ashley's wedding (congrats Ash!!!). If you're in Phoenix, and you have my phone number, call it: you're coming with me to Dick's Cabaret. How did we not know about this thing when we were in high school???
