Letterman asked his guest what her ex does for a living, to which Anne replied: “Can you say lazy ass on TV? No no no, that’s terrible.”

The actress added, “He goes out to the mailbox and he opens up the little mailbox door and goes, ‘Oh! I got a check from Anne! Oh my gosh I got a check from Anne!’”

Anne’s divorce from Coley was finalized in March. He was awarded sole custody of the couple’s son Homer. Anne and her boyfriend/former Men in Trees co-star James Tupper welcomed son Atlas Heche Tupper just a few days later.

Gay David Hernandez Stripper To Stay, “American Idol” Producers Say

Castina — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:40:26 +0000

Holding fast to it’s reputation for promoting double standards, American Idol producers have announced that David Hernandez, a twenty-four year old male stripper from Glendale, Arizona, will not be booted from the FOX talent search following the exposure of his pole-dancing past on Tuesday.

TVGuide.com spoke with Idol executive producer Ken Warwick about Season Seven’s first big scandal on Tuesday:

TVGuide.com: Will the revelations about David’s stripper past have any impact on whether he stays on the show?

Ken Warwick: No, it won’t make any difference. The truth is, we’re never judgmental about what people do to earn a living. They’ve got to put food in people’s mouths. We’ve had strippers on the show before. Nikki McKibbon was one in [Season] 1. We’re never judgmental about people who do things like that. If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we’d have to take action. But certainly not on this.

TVGuide.com: Were you aware of his past before it was reported?

Warwick: No, I wasn’t. [Laughs] But the truth of the matter is, it wouldn’t have made any difference. There are a lot of people I know who’d love to have the opportunity just to make a better living by taking their clothes off.

TVGuide.com: Do you feel for these kids who are suddenly thrust into the public eye and then have everything in their pasts dug up?

Warwick: Very often, I do, yeah. I mean, David Hernandez, whatever you say, is a nice guy. And he can sing. He’s got a great voice. He deserves to be there, as far as I’m concerned.

TVGuide.com: Have you seen him since the news broke?

Warwick: I haven’t actually seen him today but I’m not worried about it. The thing is, at the end, the public will make the decision anyway. If there’s a stretch of the public that thinks, “Oh, dear, he was a male stripper, so I’m not going to vote for him,” then that’s the luck of the draw. If the public doesn’t like him, then they’ll get rid of him.

Gay “American Idol” David Hernandez Stripper Won’t Be Disqualified

Castina — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:14:56 +0000

David Hernandez, the American Idol 7 contestant who was exposed as a gay stripper on Monday, will appear on tonight’s performance show, a spy close to the FOX series tells the Associated Press.

News leaked late Monday that the twenty-four year old aspiring singer from Glendale, Arizona appeared completely nude and performed lap dances for gay men at Dick’s Cabaret’s, a strip club outside Phoenix.

As you may recall Season 2 A.I contestant Frenchie Davis was disqualified after nude photos from her days as a porn-posing college student made their way to the Internet. Do you think David Hernandez should be disqualified?

“American Idol” David Hernandez Stripper: David Hernandez Gay Stripper Dick’s Cabaret

New Idol scandal! American Idol Seven contestant David Hernandez used to strip for other men! David, a twenty-four year old Idol finalist from Glendale, Arizona, shook his Laffy Taffy for dollars at Dick’s Cabaret over a three year period that ended in Septemeber 2007, according to a new report.

David was a big money maker at Dick’s (pun intended), where he appeared fully nude and performed lap dances for a “mostly male” clientele, club manager Gordy Bryan told the Associated Press late Monday.

Rumors of David’s past as an exotic dancer first surfaced last week on VoteForTheWorst.com.

“It was like moths to a flame,” said VoteForTheWorst.com founder Dave Della Terza. “As soon as I posted that, we started getting 10, 20 letters every single day from people saying, ‘Yeah, he’s a stripper in Phoenix.’”

“He never renewed his licensing with the state, so he hasn’t been on my roster since then,” Gordy explained.

No word on whether or not David’s previous “line of work” will end up getting him ousted as a contestant on American Idol. However, Rent star and A.I Season 2 hopeful Frenchie Davis was disqualified after nude photos from her college student/part-time porn star days leaked to the Internet.
