Poor guy. I had heard about it, but now it's on CNN. Wonder if he'll show tonight....

I saw that on dlisted a couple weeks ago (with pictures), so you would think he'd already taken all the heat for it. Strippers are pretty good about brazening it out anyway, right?

I think he's the one that reminds me of Alvarado from Oz (must have been the hoodie).

His people probably brought it up specifically to CNN so he'd get some more juice from it, since people have moved on to Amanda "thinks she's Janis Joplin but looks like a middle aged Grace Slick" Whoever's mug shots.

The subject header had me thinking something finally came out about Brooke. Never seen a Rated R movie? I'm still not buying the goody goody act.

As long as he disclosed it on his applications, he can stay. The show knew about stuff in Bo Bice's past, and other people. The ones they kicked out have been people who did not disclose stuff, like Frenchie Davis and Corey what'shisname.

More tidbits gleaned from here and there:

Amy, who butchered "Where the Boys Are" in the first week of the round of 24, said in an Entertainment Weekly interview she was so bad because she had become accustomed to performing with an in-ear unit, because she cannot hear the band otherwise. It was in print so I don't know if she sounded whiny.

When Alexandrea was voted off last week, and jumped offstage to hug David Archuleta after her going-away song, it's because they'd known each other a long time in Star Search competitions (he won when he was 12, but I don't know her track record).

I say:

So what!

The guy was great last week.

This is a contest for a singer.

The public votes.

If the public thinks this makes him a bad singer, they won't buy his albums and he shouldn't win. If the public thinks it doesn't affect his singing, they will buy his albums and he should win.

welll......... he won't win, but you know what I mean.

I don't watch Idol, but they should let him stay in. What's wrong with nude dancing (or nude anything for that matter)?

There is nothing wrong with it.

But they kicked out Frenchie because she worked for an adult website.

I didn't follow the Frenchie story at all, but having sex for money is different than just taking your clothes off for money. And I heard that they are letting this guy stay in.

I never watch Idol because I'm usually off modeling nude for some art class (like I will be tonight)...

I think the nude lap dances could be a bit off-putting for the Clay Aiken fans.

Insert nitrah's signature line here....

This was before I was watching, but I think the reason was that the site that she modeled for was also a teenie site that purported to have underage girls on it.

So, she was on an illegal site whereas stripping, gay or otherwise, is a legal profession.

It's at times like these the great heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries

We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh

When it gets so hot the end of the day
You may find your clothes getting in the way
If a pretty dress hides your true desire
Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire

We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh

We don't need to see what the butler saw
Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor
All those sneaky looks gazing down on you
Are no substitute for our rendezvous

We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh

If you think it's cheap or a bit risque
Please don't say a word I'll just slip away
I am not a man who believes in lies
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes

We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh

Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight
Be generous, I want it all tonight

She didn't have sex for money. There were naked pictures of her.

There were also pictures of Antonella Barba, but she was allowed to stay on the show.

From what I have heard, he did nude lap dances for money.

It shouldn't matter anyway.

I thought she wasn't even naked (although there were other people naked on the site), she just modeled lingerie.

I personally think that they have learned from that mistake (the mistake not being kicking her off, but not predicting the amount of pr and interest they'd get from la scandale) and now intentionally get at least one or two people a year with something on them just to stir the pot and make sure there's watercooler material. Because you know that people who don't even watch tuned in last night just to check out the 'gay stripper'.

She disclosed this information to the producers before she cast on the show.
