We told you last week that Jeff Archuleta had been banned from backstage at Idol for various reasons, including TMZ's story that he cost the show lots of money when he changed some lyrics to son David Archuleta's song. The National Ledger now reports that the last straw that got Stage Dad from Hell banned was the fact that he tried to make a side deal with one of Idol's sponsors while they were on a video shoot. Apparently, Jeff may have tried to get an endorsement deal for David and harassed the sponsors. Sounds like Ford to us, as that's the only video shoot the contestants do each week. Could David be a Ford spokesperson? It'd be nothing like Syesha, the Ford ringer this year. Besides, David probably can't reach the pedals yet. Also, in the commercials, they might not like the awkward gasping.
