Danny Gokey Wants His Own Line Of Glasses

Danny Gokey was, and will always be, a flaming media whore.

While he was on the show, we had our suspicions that he had a secret eyeglasses deal with Lenscrafters. But since getting kicked off the show, he’s been doing interviews telling the media that he WANTS HIS OWN LINE OF GLASSES, and will donate some of the profits to his dead wife’s charity. If that’s not the most ridiculous, disingenuous, delusional thing I’ve ever heard in my life, I don’t know what is.

He also said he wants to MODEL. Try to contain your laughter. If he thinks anyone will pay to photograph his flabby white ass, he’s even more deluded than we thought.

Gokey-branded eyeglasses? That’s about as moronic as it gets. It’s even more despicable that he’s once again shilling off of his dead wife’s memory.  He has no reason bringing her into his business dealings. Only the biggest douchebag in the world would try to profit off of the memory of a deceased spouse like this little prick is trying to do. Gokey makes us sick.

Here are a few Danny Gokey quotes from E!, just in case you’re not feeling physically ill enough:

“I want to come out with a line of glasses,” says Gokey, known for his fashionable array of eyewear. “And hopefully somehow tie into the foundation [his deceased wife Sophia's Heart Foundation]. Maybe some of the proceeds can help whatever we try to do for the foundation. I would really like to start a Danny line or a Gokey line.”

Danny says he started out the season of Idol with only 15 pairs of glasses, but since appearing on the show, “glasses have been raining out of the sky,” and he’s up to more than 50 pairs.

He also says he’d like to model.

Hopefully James Montgomery, the lame MTV reporter who recently wrote last week’s article asking “What Do People Have Against Danny Gokey”, will read this blog and finally get clued in as to why people hate this self centered little asshole.

    This guy is the biggest shit stain I’ve seen in a week.

    Well, if creating his own line of eyewear keeps him off the radio, I say go for it, Danny. (I actually have nothing against this guy. I wish it would have been him and Kris in the finale)

    Simmer down, Nikki, simmer down. He’s gone now. I hated Taylor Hicks WITH A PASSION, and once he won (still can’t believe that) AI, that was the very last I saw of him. So, I doubt you’ll be seeing too much of Danny, unless you go looking for him. Hopefully, it will be the same with Adam, once AI is over I hope I never have to see him again. At least you’re an ok Adam fan, these other “fans” that comment on this site are freaking idiots that can’t handle that there’s actually people out there that hate Adam.

    Well gosh I wear contacts. I want my own line too. I will also include diamond dusted saline solution, designer red-eye drops, and a leopard print contact lens case.

    There you again… can’t stop talking about Adam!

    Only for Nikki, Iheartadam (what an awesome name), because she’s a big Adam fan. Gee, and she and I actually get along, go figure That’s because she’s not an idiot and she realizes that her thoughts and opinions aren’t the only ones that matter!! Buh-bye. Seriously, say what you want, because I said all I’ll ever say to you tools on another comment.

    If that’s “all you’ll every say” then my work is done :)

    Uggg, idiot Adam fans can’t even quote somebody right.

    You just can’t keep quiet, can you?

    It’s amazing how Adam finds the time to troll wehateidol. He must have run out of discreet encounters on craigslist.

    May 15th, 2009

    Iheartadam, please you’re REALLY REALLY REALLY not helping our case at all. Stop talking. Immediatley. Dafeedil is the only adam ‘disliker’ that I can stand. But please Iheartadam, you’re the reason they hate adam fans.

    GOD. Will everyone just try to stare at that tard Glambert for a sec? COME ON! What do you fuckin love about that guy?

    He’s effin gay. His voice is for gays, his stupid high notes are as idiotic as he is and he’s just self centered.

    Stupid fucktard Adam. Die a painful death.

    HAHA. Danny’s still in LaLaland. He wants to MODEL? God, how degradingly ambitious Gokey.

    Nikki & Dafeedil: Let’s see, I’m on a site that people state their opinions, people that I will never know, nor do I want to know. You are both delusional, you are sticking up for each other as if you are truly friends. This concerns me, as you need to realize that you are on the Internet, not sipping coffee at Starbucks (perhaps I should say McDonald’s so that you both will understand). Adam fan, or not, this is absolutely weird and creepy, please seek professional help immediately.

    Well, if Danny gets a job promoting eye glasses, at least that will keep him away from the studio, right? I was kind of sad to see Danny go, I thought he was a pretty good guy. Wish Adam would have left, can’t stand that ummm, dude?

    To Iheartadam, why are you here on this site if it bothers you so much? You think the people that post here are creepy? I think someone like you who oviously hates more than just AI is the creepy one. From what I’ve read, these commentors just hate American Idol and it’s contestants, you seem to hate everything. What’s up with you? Am I going to get some of your venom now, too? Seriously, if you don’t like this website and the people that comment on it, why even bother to waste so much of your time here, or are you just a troll that has nothing better to do? It is true from what I’ve read about all you Adam fans, what an ignorant bunch. Count me out.

    iheartadam,
    People like you creep me out that seem to press the refresh button over and over again to see if someone has posted a reply yet so you can shoot off yet another “witty” one-liner. Ugh, so boring.

  18. Nikki
    May 16th, 2009

    Okay well first I’m going to adress Jean. You can hate Adam ALL you want, but people need to stop wishing he were dead. Now, that is just mental and wrong. I don’t care if you hate him but quit it with the wishing violence or death upon him! That’s just stupid and immature, and frankly, rather psychotic. Iheartadam, I agree with Cory, do you hover anoxiously over the refresh button or something? I am I completely devoted Adam fan, I plan to vote the whole four hours for him, but I can ATLEAST understand that people hate him. You on the other hand, appear to be in LaLaLand with that mental Danny Gokey, with thinking that everyone MUST love Adam, and that only your opinion matters. Iheartadam, really, I also very much ‘heart’ Adam. But I’m afraid that, you are the delusional one.

    Maybe you people should consider getting a life instead of bashing Danny. He’s been through a lot this past year and he was not trying to gain publicity from the loss of his wife. He was explaining what a struggle it was to even be able to come to the try-outs after just losing his wife 2 months prior. He started a fund in her honor, not to put himself in the public eye, but to help other people who are in this situation. He is a good guy with a great talent. Maybe you folks should find your talents and get off this bashing kick!

    To Jean/ May 15, 2009 I would personally like to answer your question: 1. “Stare at Glambert for a sec” and 2. “what the f— do you love about the guy.” First, I could never stare at Glambert for a second, I’d more likely stare at him day and night 24/7 if I didn’t have other responsibilites. This is the weekend so I can stay up all night looking again at his sexiness and listening to his adorable voice.” And part 2: I love his sexy presence, his body, his face, his hair, his leather pants, his so sexy stares and unmatched vocals, his personality, his fashion sense, his ability to put his personal spin on every song and turn it into pure Adam, his integrity as a person, his charisma, his politeness, his courtesy and professionalism to thank everyone who participates in his performances, his gratefulness, his ability to never say anything bad about another contestant and show genuine acknowledgment of their talents, his confidence to know who he is as an individual and be proud. Godspeed, Glamey.

    I wonder how many outfits and jewlry Adam has? Danny was a performer before AI and that is why he had those glasses. So what? He has absolutely nothing to do with DannyGokeyGear or DirectFrames – those companies are false advertising using Danny’s name so you think the company is his and so people will buy. Wake up and stop being so hateful.

  23. July 6th, 2009

    Danny Gokey has a life unlike all of you who sit on you fat asses and rag on him… look where he is you call him a MEDIA FLAMING WHORE and hate on him, but look where he is now?? On tour, singing at sold out concerts to people (like me!!)

    oh soo sad look where you are!!!

  24. August 6th, 2009

    See. People like you make me SICK! You have to to be a really jealous person to be saying all this! He is the sweetest person in the world and i honestly think you are mad because you ARE NOT HIM! And about the whole modeling thing, how do you get “flabby white ass” i met him LAST NIGHT (8-5-09) and he is really skinny. and cute. and so what if he wants to have his own glasses line. I’m happy for him and all his success. I think its plan rude of you to be saying he is using his wife’s death as a way to get sympathy votes. If that was the case the blind guy (Scott) would have made it way farther then he did. SO I’m going to end my statement on this note! WHOEVER MAKES THIS STUFF UP HAS NO LIFE! LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. DANNY IS A VERY KIND HEARTED PERSON. DON’T TALK BAD ABOUT SOMEONE YOU HAVE NEVER MET. if you want to say something back. please feel free to email me. because i am willing to defend him. YOU ARE MISERABLE. GET A LIFE!
