The controversial side of 'American Idol'

Is anyone shocked anymore that an 'Idol' contestant has had a questionable past?

Just this week, season seven contestant David Hernandez was said to have been performing as a stripper for a mostly male clientele in Phoenix, according to the claims of a club where he may have worked.

Coincidentally, MySpace videos have surfaced of Danny Noriega who, clad in lipstick-and-eye shadow, makes a salty remark about Santa and Christmas celebrations. Noriega is also seen in another video engaging in another unrepeatable-on-this-site freestyle after belting out a solid a cappella version of "Chain of Fools."

But wait, there's more! Pint-sized Ramiele Malubay can be seen in some compromising photos with her friends on Myspace, and the National Enquirer alleges they have full nude photos of Amanda Overmyer.

While producers have said that Hernandez's past won't have any effect on his standing on the show, those same producers are probably scrambling to get Noriega's clips off the internet as fast as possible.
