"Idol" Stripper?

Reader Comments

• 181. Why does the media waste their time on stories like these? Gay and straight people strip and bartend all over the country when did this become news? So what if he is gay, to me the media hasn't shown anything bad in any of these photos. The guy is making a living and if he's using his looks to make that money more power to him. He has a great voice and deserves to be in the American Idol contest regardless of his current and/or former employment history.

• 182. Why is the world like this? Why can't people leave other people alone. He is a good singer, leave it at that. He was only trying to make a living.......the guy is human....why don't we check into everyones personal life and see what you come up with. Our personal life, is ours...why do people want to hurt other people. He knew he worked there, he wasn't ashamed of it...he needed to make a living. Leave him alone and leave other people alone. Look what it has done to Brittany Spears...I will never understand, why other people have to dig up such dirt on people, just to hurt them. Life is so short...we need to have peace in this world and to get along. I've learned to be kind to people no matter what their past is, or whatever. We are Americans and we live in the best world ever, USA. Lets act like Americans and be kind...

• 184. Why wold tmz (run by harvy levin) want to out someone. Im sure harvy didnt like it when he was outed by baldwin. After having someone spill his little dirty secret over the airwaves about levin living with his chiropractor boufriend in California , you would think he would think twice about things of this nature. But then again I guess Once a sleezy paparazi allways a sleezy paparizi.

• 185. Who cares where he works and so what he does not have a shirt on. Just because he has a great voice and talent, someone has to be jealous and make noise for him. No problem, the fans will not let him down. Good Luck to you and shame on the person who thinks they are doing him harm........

• 186. So maybe he has overcome the gay filth and tried to better himself. Why dredge up these photos other than to ruin his new life?

• 187. Who cares all of us has a past. Maybe not as a stripper but who cares he had a steady job for three years gee what a bad guy lets lynch him for not living on the goverment. Come on who really gives a crap. And don't say this is a kids show and they need standards look at little miss Jamie Spears she was on Disney and now she is going down the same path as her sister.

• 188. The Unfortunate thing is that, right or wrong America loves gossip. although he is an amazing talent, the show is trying to promote roll models. David himself should have realized that this was bound to come out period!!!!!!

• 190. I'm sorry, but why does anyone care about this one bit? Whether he's gay, straight, bi - a transvestite perhaps - who cares? I'm sick and tired of stupid media digging in every little corner of every potentially famous person and attempting to ruin their lives. Let's investigate your past and put details out on your website TMZ. The fact is, his private life is his business. As long as he's not a registered sex offender I really don't care what he did before American Idol found him. So, there!

• 191. Excuse me -- but -- if you're going to build a glass house of gossip and you're going to throw stones -- or pasties -- or jock straps... take a look at recent history. TMZ! Didn't a certain Diable Cody - a former stripper / exotic dancer just win an Academy Award for writing the film "Juno?" Who cares if he shook his bon-bon's at a bar outside Phoenix in Glendale, Arizona? If a female stripper can win an Academy Award - maybe this stripper can win American Idol. You might take a peek at the shots you posted -- at least he's better looking (a lot better looking) than Taylor Hicks, Clay Aiken or Ruben Stoddard... Sing away and shake them bon-bon's David... who knows what good things will happen to you next! PS: To the bar owner seeking publicity? As Betty Davis said years ago, "WHAT A DUMP."
