Uh-Oh...No More Daddy Archuleta!

I knew something was fishy.

I've been hearing little bits and pieces here and there about freaky stage-dad Mr. Archuleta, David's dad. He's the cutie young one from Idol.  Not my favorite but he'll likely win.

Wake up this morning..and find this:

"David Archuleta's dad, Jeff, has been officially banned from "American Idol."
Here's how it went down. "Idol" sources tell TMZ Jeff has been a complete pain in the azz, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants. The final straw came this week, when Jeff wanted to change the lyrics to David's first song, "Stand By Me." Jeff insisted on adding a verse from Sean Kingston's hit, "Beautiful Girls." Producers sent him an e-mail telling him the lyrics could not be changed. They were beyond pissed when David sang the song with Kingston's lyrics during the live show.

We're told by changing the lyrics, it created problems with the song's publisher and cost "A.I." a lot of money.

Jeff was ordered to sit with "A.I." lawyers on Wednesday, who told him he was "banned from being in the rooms where David was learning or rehearsing his songs." It's "Idol's" position, since David is 17, he does not need a guardian -- just a teacher. Jeff will be allowed to sit in the audience during the live show but nothing backstage.

All in all, sources say Jeff is the stage dad from hell. BTW, he was banned on the set when David did "Star Search" a few years back."

Poor kid!

He'll win now for sure, with a story like that going around.

Thanks to the fab staff at Barking Fish last night!  Went out with some friends and clutzy me, I dumped an entire red drink all over my table, the table next to us, the floor and soaked the menu. I'm such a knob sometimes.
