David Archuleta's Parents File for Divorce
Looks like frequenting massage parlors to find prostitutes finally caught up with Jeff, eh? RadarOnline.com has the divorce papers that Jeff Archuleta filed in February of 2009. The couple wasn't exactly a typical, loving family... Lupe and Jeff filed for divorce in 2002 but then stayed together when their cash cow Gaspy won Star Search. How convenient. But now after the prostitution sting, maybe Lupe finally had enough? Jeff is also requesting that Lupe pay him $349 in child support each month. So Jeff's keeping the kids? Seems like a bad idea to us after the reports about his temper and Gaspy's strange behavior. Either way, the Archuleta family's misery will probably make RadarOnline.com and TMZ happy for months to come.

The Jeff Archuleta Story on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Jeff Archuleta Arrested for Soliciting a Prostitute
Hilarious! David Archuleta's father, Jeff Archuleta, was arrested for soliciting a prostitute in a massage parlor. Jeff is cited as admitting to police that he was receiving sexual favors from a prostitute, but his attorney later took back that claim and said Jeff was treating a back problem. We all know Jeff is an unattractive man who probably can't get women. But can't he at least get a frau that he doesn't have to pay for due to the fact that he's Gaspy's dad? At least Gaspy won't run into the same problem unless the massage parlor is run by dudes. The Archuleta family never fails to entertain VFTW. What will they do next?
P.S. If anyone finds the mug shot, send it to us ASAP. We will love you forever.
Was Jeff Archuleta Banned from Idol for Trying to Make a Side Deal?
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.
Nigel Lythgoe Confirms that Jeff Archuleta Is a Bad Stage Dad
Nigel Lythgoe spoke to Entertainment Weekly today about Jeff Archuleta's banning, and basically, he confirmed that Jeff was kicked out for being a douche. When asked why Jeff was banned, Nigel said, "[Jeff] has been asked not to participate in the choice of music with David or be in the room when David is working out his routines that he wants to sing." When asked if David's lying vocal coach was telling the truth when he said that Jeff was asked to leave due to fairness, Nigel said, "No, no, no. It has nothing to do with fairness. We just want everyone to have an equal opportunity, and if that's fairness, fine. But this is more of just the fact of let's take some pressure away here, you know? It's like anybody appearing in front of their mom and dad. Let's just open up the pressure cooker, release the pressure, and you just get on and do what you gotta do." So basically Jeff is pressuring David. Oops, exposed again. So vote for David Archuleta tonight. Because the more votes we put through, the more we can guarantee that Jeff Archuleta gets to cause more trouble backstage next week and potentially for a record label. Unleash Jeff Archuleta on the entertainment industry. Yay! VFTW!
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.
Stage Dad Jeff Archuleta Says He's Not a Stage Dad
Jeff Archuleta talked to US Weekly to defend himself against Naomi Judd's assertions that he's "the worst stage dad." The interview is incredibly lame... Jeff is basically saying, "What? I have no idea what a stage dad is so I couldn't be one. I am a great parent." Of course you'll say that. We believe none of this. Partially because Jeff is creepy looking and partially because Naomi Judd has no reason to make this up. She has nothing to gain. Let's get more behind the scenes stories from people about Dadzilla please. VFTW is the voice of truth, so if you know anything about this and would like us to post about it, e-mail us at mail@votefortheworst.com. Free the Lizard Boy from his cage!
Naomi Judd Talks about David Archuleta's Awful Stage Dad
Skip to 3:35. Naomi Judd talks about how horrible David Archuleta's stage dad was when she was a judge on Star Search. Poor kid, he was probably locked in his cage after he wasn't sure what to do when Seacrest asked him to pick a side. We'll send food soon, David!
