Lets Get This Party Started
Jeff Archuleta -- Stage Dad? Who, Me?

TMZ has been telling you how Jeff Archuleta – David's dad -- is the worst kind of stage dad. But even when he denies it, he sounds pretty much ... like a stage dad.

Jeff fires back at what we've reported in an interview with Us, saying that there's "absolutely no truth in any of the stories" about him yelling at David or withholding water. The funny thing – he doesn't deny being totally involved in his son's life, whether it's song choice on "Idol," or realizing his talent at "age 4 or 5" and giving him the video of "Les Miz" to watch at age 6 and basically shoving Broadway musicals down his throat.

Jeff also takes the chance to nail the "Idol" judges, saying that "they overreact." Now that doesn't sound like a stage dad at all.

Spencer to Prez: You're Too B-List for Me


Now Spencer Pratt has gone too far: He and Heidi have bailed out of the big black-tie affair in D.C. because, according to him, it isn't "A-listy" enough.

The New York Post reports that Speidi bailed out of the White House Correspondents Dinner because, says a source, Pratt thought it was beneath them, even though MSNBC had invited Montag to the bash. (They wouldn't pay for Pratt's ticket.)

Guess who's coming to dinner? Pam Anderson, Ben Affleck, Jen Garner, Kerry Washington, John Cusack, and Rob Lowe. If they're not A-list, what's Spencer?

J. Lo Trots Out Twins for New Reality


Jennifer Lopez already splashed her two little tots all over the pages of People magazine, and now it looks like she'll be doing the same on TV.

People reports that she's signed up to do a reality show for TLC – the cable net best known for "Trading Spaces" – which will focus on how Lopez juggles her career, her babies, and a 90-pound skeleton-being also known as Marc Anthony. No airdate has been revealed, but the series is already in production.

31. Jennifer Has Been Lopez....I smell an air of desperation. Obviously your music and movie career is languishing.
Did you see that pimped out nursery in People Magazine? And her feeding one of the twins in a full on evening gown?
I bet that she and Marc will try to act like they are royalty on their show ...when all they are is nouveau riche trash.

PS I bet Ben Affleck thanks his lucky stars every day that he dumped her and is now married to Jennifer, someone much more down to earth and successful.

32. Little David A. looks like one of those scared ladies from the Mormon compound. Naomi Judd says David A's Dad was the same when David was on Star Search.

33. You know, I wouldn't even know who this Spencer guy is, if you didn't keep putting his picture on this website. I have an idea; QUIT PUTTING HIS PICTURE ON THIS WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

34. I think that the sweet, adorable David Archuletta seems very humble and shy. I am not sure if the rumors of his father being harsh are true but he surely does have the appearance of someone that is used to being treated badly! He reminds me of the way Janet and Michael Jackson act in person, while not performing, and we all know what a "tard" their father was to them! Shame on the father if it is true! If David wins or loses he is a star and deserves a career in music!

35. Actually, I WOULD like to watch her reality show. I think she and Marc are cute and their babies will also be adorable!!! Yeah, she's rich, but who would want to watch what the rest of us do everyday? Too depressing...I want escapism!!!

36. yeah..like JO...has it SOOO HARD being the mom of twins....that's not reality...she disgusts me...some one get her off her high horse and make her realize she has it EASY.....what about moms whose husbands (and dadd's w/ moms) over in Iraq trying to juggle family and the worry of getting that phone call saying your spouse is dead......she rediculous!

37. C'mon, David Archuletta's dad is obviously a stage dad but it doesn't mean he was abusive. Look at Britney Spears' mom...she let her daughter get breast implants at what, 16 or 17 years old for her career? David A. is obviously a very sweet, sensitive and loveable young man and does not appear to be abused. His father may be tough on him as far as his performance and striving to be the best he can be but what parent isn't with a successful child prodigy. Every olympic athelete is pushed to extremes by their parents and coaches far worse than this kid's dad may be. Give me a break. His dad is a professional musician who is mentoring and grooming his son to be something phenomenal and he is. The kid travels the world and has been singing forever as he LOVES what he does...he's not being forced by his dad. PULEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Carly smithson's parents were also stage parents who actually moved her to LA at 17 to shop a deal for her.

38. J lo didn't even admit that she was pregnant until she was literally about to give birth with her twins. She said it was because she wanted things to be private for her and Marc.....OK...fine...so..why not take the 6 million dollars for the photos of the babies and give it to charity like Brad and Angelina? I fail to see the privacy in a reality show....To each his own but I am not buying it!!! It wasn't about privacy but rather, just maybe, to keep us interested and wondering....Beautiful family, though!!! Always loved her but come on!!!!!

39. Don't married couples that do these ridiculous reality shows always end up divorcing one another? JLo and her husband, what's his name, SUCKED in their movie and JLo sucked in all her other movies she did. This show is going to be as crappy as the movies she and he made......................You never know, maybe they DO need the money. Why else would someone subject their babies to being on a reality show if not for the money? For fame? I don't think they need to worry about that, with TMZ around.

Makes you wonder...........

40. ok so it pisses me off that jlo says she is "struggling"! im a single mom w an 11 month old and i only make $9.50/hr. i have a house that i pay rent in and i have so many bills...its so hard for me at the beginning of every month to balance everything out to make sure my son has a roof over his head....plus then i have to figure out how to pay for food and formula and diapers. dont get me wrong i have tried to get a better job. but i work from 6 am to 6 pm mon-sat. and i cant afford to take off a couple of days to find a better paying job. and its not like my son isnt taken care of....i get for him before i even think of getting for me. i have lived on ramen noodles and pb & j sandwiches & salads for the past year because i always make sure is belly is full before mine, and that he has clothes on his back at all times. i would just love for only one day of her life....jus one day where i can spend the day w my son and not have to worry about how im going to take care of him. maybe she should live a day in the life of us "normal" non-celebrity parents and see what the true definition of "struggling" and trying to balance everything out really is.

41. umm..she has two full time nannies...personal trainer. chef..housekeeper.....how is she "juggling" anything?

let's see her get up at 5am..get breakfast ready..throw in a load of laundry clean the house and have dinner on the table by 5....

or better yet..show the real reality show..how Skeletor left his first wife and children for J-ho and how she used to call his house and hang up when his wife answered....His ex went on spanish tv and confirmed all this

she married a man no one cares about...if she was still with Ben there would be no People magazine or reality tv.

43. WHO??? Thinks Spencer and Horseface are attractive? Really I'd like to know. He looks like a newsman from the 70's.
Horseface is just so homely.
...
Really who thinks these people are attractive?

45. Thanks for posting the names of the trash that would break bread with our MURDERING president so we know what films and programs not to watch or support.
