And... we were right! Check out the story in the Associated Press today that confirms what we've been saying for a while now. David Hernandez stripped at a gay club called Dick's Cabaret up until September of last year, meaning he was still stripping when he tried out for American Idol. We have no problem with David stripping of course, we just think he shouldn't lie about it and pretend that he's straight. If you're a gay stripper, embrace it! Will this affect his time on the show? Who knows. He won't be kicked off, but he might lose votes. And as always, remember that VFTW is the best news source that tells you these things first.

VFTW is still trying to find hard evidence that David Hernandez was a stripper at Dick's Cabaret in Phoenix. We've gotten nothing but supportive e-mails from half the population of Phoenix telling us that we're right. Here are some more pictures we found of David because he decided not to make his own personal Photobucket private. The first is apparently Halloween (David went as a stripper... clever), and the rest are with some buddies, including supposedly a friend he stripped with named Cliff. He seems very comfortable with the guys and likes to take his shirt off a lot if you catch our drift. David, stop hiding your sexuality on the show. Just come out already. Be proud like Danny.

We posted a rumor this week that David Hernandez used to be a stripper at a club named Dick's Cabaret. But now he's trying to play it straight on Idol and pretend that he likes women (in an interview with the Washington DC Fox affiliate, David asked if there were any single ladies around). Come on, David. Learn something from Danny Noriega and just be out and proud. Since we posted the article, we've gotten nothing but confirmation posts from people coming out of the woodwork, and we learned his stripper name was Caden:

tk_az- "He most definitely was a stripper at Dick's Cabaret. And he is a prick too. Gave me a lap dance one night that I didn't even ask for, then demanded $40 for it."

AZBornAndRaised- "These "rumors" are 100% TRUE! I personally saw him at Dick's Caberet where his boyfriend actually stripped, too. Both of them are totally hot!"

PhoenixBoi- "I will 100% confirm this rumor is true too! I met him at Burn about a year ago when he worked there. I also encountered him at Dick's Cabaret about 6 months ago. “Caden” gave me one of the best lap dances ever and I will never forget it. He said he was bi, but I could care less."

admdavid- "Yes, he is/was a stripper at Dick's. He has a very hot boyfriend. He's sung karaoke at BS West with his very hot boyfriend looking on. I've run into him at Amsterdam and Charlie's before, too."

So although we don't have any hard proof yet (no pun intended), the rumors get more and more credence every day. If you have any proof for us or any leads to follow, send us an e-mail at and let us know!

An interesting rumor has just surfaced that David Hernandez was a stripper in Phoenix before his time on American Idol. Obviously we're not 100% sure, but here's what we've found so far. After rumors were posted around the internet that David has a steady boyfriend of 2-3 years and that he stripped at Dick's Cabaret, we found pictures of David working at Burn, a gay nightclub that just recently closed in Phoenix. Obviously you don't wear the club's logo if you don't work there. So although we haven't found any pictures of him stripping just yet, we're still on the hunt, and the pictures we found are leading us in the right direction. We'll keep you updated.
