“The truth is we’re never judgmental about what people do to earn a living. They’ve gotta put food in people’s mouths. If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we’d have to take action. But certainly not on this.”

American Idol producer Ken Warwick
, on the news that Idol contestant David Warwick used to dance all naked-like at a gay strip club in Phoenix.

Oh, God, they’re actually doing this.

E! is set to begin filming on Living Lohan, a reality series which will follow Mother of the Year Dina Lohan and daughter Ali as Ali tries to follow in Lindsay Lohan’s footsteps. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want a life like Lindsay Lohan? Doesn’t she just seem so happy all the time? Yes, I’d want to do whatever it takes to get to the point where I’m back on cocaine after my third stint in rehab. Guide me, Dina Lohan. Help me to live a life as joyous as Lindsay’s.

Anyway, filming’s beginning by following Clan Lohan to Las Vegas, where Ali’s going to begin work on her already-doomed solo album for Interscope Records.

Dina’s sons, Cody and Michael, will also make appearances in the series, but Lindsay has no plans to participate. As least she’s making some good decisions.

Eva Longoria at Hillary Clinton Town Hall Meeting in Texas, Pictures, Photos

Celebs are coming out en masse to make it clear that Barack Obama is not the only Hollywood candidate.

Eva Longoria spoke on Monday at a Town Hall meeting in Texas to support Hillary Clinton.

“As a native of Texas, I know our state and our nation face big challenges ahead of us,” she said. “Hillary has proven she has the strength and experience to deliver the change we need.”

The Texas primary is taking place today. I tried really hard (well, for at least five minutes) to find exit polling data to report to you guys, but I got really confused really fast. Does anyone know who’s ahead right now in Texas?

David Hernandez Being a Male Gay Stripper at Burn and Dick’s Cabaret, Pictures, Photos

Those of you who don’t read this blog regularly may not be aware that I am currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I have been taken to my parents’ house for safekeeping.

I lived in the Phoenix area for the first 20 years of my life, and I had NO IDEA that they had male strip clubs here.

But they do!

And David Hernandez, of American Idol fame, used to work at one. Well, several.

A former boss confirmed that the singer, who sailed through voting last week thanks to a raved-about rendition of “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” once worked as a male stripper at a Phoenix nightclub.

Gordy Bryan, manager of the innuendo-laden Dick’s Cabaret, told the Associated Press that Hernandez stripped down fully nude during his performances and also gave lap dances to the club’s “mostly male” patrons.

“He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here,” Gordy said, adding that Hernandez worked at the club for roughly three years, shimmying off the dance floor for good Sept. 30 in anticipation of his TV debut.

So whatever. The dude worked in a gay strip club. Big whoop. That’s not a scandal.

Also: they may think it’s a gay strip club, but it’s about to get very straight, when I call up all my Phoenix girlfriends and crash the place tonight. Rebecca? Saranden? Tiffy? Kate? I know a bunch of you are in town for Ashley’s wedding (congrats Ash!!!). If you’re in Phoenix, and you have my phone number, call it: you’re coming with me to Dick’s Cabaret. How did we not know about this shit when we were in high school???

David Beckham is in Shanghai to play a soccer game against selected players from Hong Kong and China as a part of the LA Galaxy’s three-match Asian tour.

Becks took time out of his schedule to visit sick children at Xinhua Hospital.

I have nothing snarky to say about this. It’s absolutely precious.
