Looks like Gaspy got a record deal. David Archuleta has just signed with Jive Records to produce his debut album. Jive is also the home of Jorbacca. Being that Jive had to saddle Jorbacca with Chris Brown to produce a hit record, which Jive artist will Gaspy be dueting with to try for a hit single? Miley Cyrus? The Jonas Brothers? We're personally hoping for T-Pain or R. Kelly. Though R. Kelly might not do it because Gaspy is a) a male and b) too old for him.
In other Gaspy news, a planned charity concert for Gaspy's fans was canceled after Idol said no. Why? None of the top 10 can do their own thing until after the tour. And guess who knew this and planned the concert anyway? Oh Jeff Archuleta, you're just the thorn in America's side that we'd hoped you'd be. Keep up the antics for years to come and we'll grab the popcorn.
OK, this video is hilarious. Of course we wanted our little Gasper the Wheezy Ghost to win, but seeing the looks of shock and streams of tears from the kiddies is pretty funny. To all the kids from Utah, rememeber, Gaspy was the same kid you were beating up for lunch money a year ago.
Well it looks like for the first time ever, America didn't listen to the judges and did what they wanted. Good job, America. While we would have preferred a Gaspy win so that Jeff Archuleta would have to be unleashed on society, this is still funny. And to all of you Archtards out there, we must have cursed David Archuleta. Oops! VFTW strikes again. Or it's because you didn't vote enough. It's all your fault, Archtards, because VFTW voted a lot. So blame yourselves. FAILURES!!!!! HOW COULD YOU????? Or did we just curse him on purpose? You'll never know.
Well, we're glad this season is over. And congrats to David Cook for being the only non-plant in the top 8, and the winner. Not too shabby. But please, let's never talk about this season again. Glad to have you all along for the ride to make fun of this stupid show. We've loved you all. See you next year!
Vote for Gaspy! 1-866-IDOLS-02, 04, and 06, or text 'VOTE' to 5702. We have 4 hours to vote, so hopefully this favors Gaspy, as his tweenies will vote longer. We are THIS close to unleashing Jeff Archuleta on the entertainment industry. THIS close. If David can pull this off, the resulting trainwreck will be hilarious. It must happen. Even the judges seem to favor David's shlock tonight, meaning braindead America will vote for him since they do whatever the judges say. Yay! David winning would be hilariously awesome, as he would probably sell less records than Jordin or Taylor, and once that happens, people will wonder how he won again. So please. Let David win. The tabloids could use stories about Jeff Archuleta pissing off every record producer. And the world needs another Clay Aiken. Vote vote vote!

If David Archuleta's voice coach can be believed, he wants everyone to know that the fix is in. Voice coach Dean Kaelin said in a Fox Utah interview that the producers really rigged things last week to help David Cook. Dean says that the producers asked David to sing his best song first, while David Cook was told to sing his best song last so that the audience would remember it better. Gaspy also practiced singing "Longer" with an uptempo beat but was then told by producers that he had to sing it slower. Why? Probably because it might have sounded better that way. Lastly, Gaspy was going to sing "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing", which had been cleared for him for a few weeks, but the song was taken away afrom him and given to David Cook. Dean also says that Syesha wanted to use strings (probably the full orchestra that David Cook used) in one of her songs and was told she couldn't. Who got to use the strings? David Cook of course. We believe Dean, because Idol is a shady show that does whatever it can to get the reults it wants. But what can Gaspy do (see picture for his options)? If the fix is in, the producers will stop at nothing to crown Cook. All we can do is expose the madness and try to help our gasping friend.
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.
The Bo Bice t-shirt with autographed CD and catalog are back up for bid in the VFTW 2008 Charity Auction. The high bidder did not pay for the items, so we put them back up for a new bid.
We also have a brand new sign from the Today Show concert series signed by David Cook and David Archuleta. This is a great collector's item, so tell everyone about it who loves one of the Davids.
All proceeds after eBay fees for both auctions will be going to Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. The event is next Friday, so both items will only be up for 3 days on auction. So bid high for this great cause. Thanks!
Edited To Add: If you want to donate to this great cause but are not interested in these items, you can also do so here at Vote for the Worst's Relay for Life page. Thanks!
