The night has finally arrived. The evening all American Idol fans have been longing for all season. It’s the night… Idol Gives Crap Back.

Yes, folks, get ready to be mildly entertained by the likes of Teri Hatcher and Forest Whitaker. OMG THEY’RE BOTH GOING TO BE ON THE SAME SHOW.

Personally, I don’t know how this guy (see video) didn’t make it to the Top Ten. Diamond Dave FTW!

… it was only a matter of time. Umm, less than 2 days.

PhillyBurbs.com has the David Hernandez male stripper pics.

He actually sounded pretty good, by the bye. Especially for doing a Celine Dion song, for crissake. Still, it’s David Cook — my pick from the beginning — FTW. They could release his(?) version of Hello on iTunes next week and it’d be a hit.

UPDATE: And here it is (iTunes link).

Every year, there’s gotta be a back story about an Idol contestant…

This year, it’s about David Hernandez.  He was allegedly a former stripper at Dick’s Cabaret in Glendale, Arizona. Dick’s Cabaret, as you might infer, has a “mostly male” clientele.  The club’s manager was quoted as saying:

“He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here.”

And judging by the photo of Hernandez accompanying my source article… yeah, I could see that.

We’ve had Katherine McPhee on Season 5, then Antonella Barba last year. This year on American Idol there is no clear standout babe, but there are a handful of ladies to keep male viewers interested. One of those is Amy Davis. And PhillyBurbs.com has posted a shrine gallery of photos of Ms. Davis. Not a handful. Not a dozen. But 175 photos on 30 pages — everything from backstage candids to show screencaps to sultry model poses.

Remember, it’s someone’s job there to collect and organize all this… and to write the captions. Poetry in motion:

• “What’s this crap? Let’s see more SKIN!!!!!!“
• “I see belly button lint.“
• “Old dude goes BOOOOOOIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!“
• and the oh-so-eloquent: “Hooray for boobies!“

Maybe they should hold some sort of… I dunno… caption contest for this? ; )

Who do you think is the AI babe this year? 

Well, thankfully the American Idol auditions are over. Once again, there were no Daughtry-esque standouts this season. But we were treated to one truly memorable hometown performance from James Lewis…

Not one to be left out of the American Idol critics’ chairs, Ryan Seacrest gets in on the judging act and analyses this contestant’s “talents.”
