Yes, there’s a little sorrow that goes along with the American Idol exit videos, but it’s also fun to pick out the song lyrics that accompany the exit video. Tonight, we were introduced to the exit song for the final 12 contestants — Ruben Studdard singing “Celebrate Me Home.”

Former “American Idol” champ Ruben Studdard sings “Celebrate Me Home,” a cover of a Kenny Loggins song, with lyrics that are, in part:

Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I’ll always remember,
And I can recall,
Whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home

“Celebrate Me Home” was sung for the first time during David Hernandez’s exit video — no doubt we’ll be hearing even more of the song as the season goes on.

American Idol Finalist David Hernandez Gay Stripper Scandal

Wendy — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:14:56 +0000

Well there’s no shortage of “American Idol” dirt this season, huh? The latest Idol scandal is that finalist David Hernandez was once a stripper.

A Phoenix male strip club manager spilled the beans to The Associated Press — looks like David Hernandez was once a stripper at gay strip club Dick’s Cabaret. And I’m totally not making up that club’s name, either.

David Hernandez appeared fully nude and even gave lap dances at the gay strip club. Talented!

According to Dick’s Cabaret manager Gordy Bryan, David Hernandez “had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here.”

And this wasn’t a one-time deal for the “American Idol” hopeful — David Hernandez was a stripper at Dick’s Cabaret for three years. His last appearance was in September 2007.

How will “American Idol” handle this stripper scandal? Or will David Hernandez not be around long enough for it to be an issue?
