An Idiot Never Learns- Jeff Archuleta, David's Annoying Stage Dad, Is Now Banned from Idol

Well that didn't take long. Terrible stage dad Jeff Archuleta has been banned from Idol, says TMZ. They say "Jeff has been a complete pain in the ass, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants." Too funny! That's the same stuff he pulled when David was on Star Search. The straw that broke the camel's back was his insistance that David add lyrics from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" to Tuesday's show. Since the song was not cleared, it cost the show tons of money and pissed everyone off. Hey, this banning is great news for us! 1) David won't have to sleep in the cage tonight. 2) Without his dad's help, David is much more likely to forget the words and give us a VFTW performance. 3) The awkward gasping will be at an all time high this week. Bravo, Idol staff. Bravo.

Edited To Add: The Associated Press is confirming the story. Here at VFTW, we really know how to pick our train wrecks.

crstlbal - Thanks for sharing that link! Excellent article. And I'd have to say he's not a closet worster, but an out-and-out one!

I was just coming in here to post that same article, noting especially the picture with David's father gooning behind him.

Did you happen to see that they writer works for The Advocate, those guys are some of the best writers in the country because they cowtow to no one(they don't have to being an independant news org). Their stuff is always honest and right on the money. I think I might write him a fan mail.
