"Idol" to Archuleta: Lose the Dad, Carry the 1

Posted May 13th 2008 7:06PM by TMZ Staff

David ArchuletaHe's just hours away from performing live in front of millions of people, but 17-year-old "American Idol" wonderboy David Archuleta still has a few problems to work out -- problems of the high school math kind.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that David has been with his tutor on the set, gettin' his state-mandated learnin' on.

Looks like a passion for math runs in the Archuleta family. As TMZ first reported, his dad Jeff just got a lesson in subtraction late last week.

46. David Cook? He seemed awfully, awfully pleased with himself, didn't he?
•Doesn't the fact that David Cook had to wish his mom a BELATED happy Mothers' Day mean he didn't call her on actual Mothers' Day? That only appealed to the millions of rock-loving moms who'd also forgotten that Mothers' Day was on Sunday.

TMZ and Haters out there are un-educated and low class people.

47. Why does no one comment about David Cook's mother? She sits in the audience looking just as smug as her monotone son.
TMZ step up to the plate and give us the lowdown on Mamma Cook. Does this woman not work? THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW.
