Lets Get This Party Started
"Idol" Honcho -- Free David from Dad!

TMZ first told you how David Archuleta's dad was banished from backstage on "American Idol" for being a total nightmare. Now, "AI" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is selling his side of the story, and it sounds a lot like what we said.

Lythgoe tells EW.com that while "'banished' is a terrible word," he and the other "Idol" bigs wants David "to be able to be free like everybody else" to do his thing. As for the whole "Stand by Me" lyric-gate, Nigel says it was "a total misunderstanding" that led producer to say, "Okay, this is what we want to happen from now on."

Last night, our spies noted that Jeff Archuleta was "shooting daggers" at Lythgoe and co.

Castro – Stoner? I Don't Even Know Mary Jane!


Dreadlocks, heavily lidded eyes, the whole short-term memory lapse problem: Wasn't Jason Castro just blazed the whole time?

Hell no, dude, he tells OK! magazine. And here's the shocker: He says he's never been stoned in his life. "I think that, especially with things like ["AI"], people like to stereotype so easily," says Castro. "People have always said that. I don't worry about what people say."

Of course, when TMZ caught up with him yesterday, he didn't have very much to say at all, despite a barrage of qs.




"Work Out's" Warner Worked Over Boob Barb


Fitness guru and reality cult-heroine Jackie Warner is getting thrown on the rack after remarks about a client's enhanced bosom –- that Jackie says wasn't her doing –- rubbed viewers and a big sponsor the wrong way.

Propel Water told TMZ in a statement that it's pulling its sponsorship of Bravo's "Work Out" after Warner and her office manager's remarks about Jamie Eason, a breast cancer survivor, aired. Warner's camp says the offending remarks didn't come from her, but from her staff.

Eason tells TMZ, "It saddens me that Jackie continues to blame the others around her."

46. Being in the fitness industy how do you not know who Jamie Eason is?? That's like being in the tv industry and not knowing who HBO is. Just Google Jamie Eason and look at all the results. I agree that Jackie has become way too self-centered and gotten a HUGE ego this season. I do understand that it is her company but she seems to have some self-esteem issues. I still like the show.

47. I guess that Peabody doesn't understand that it's not really important if Jackie and Lisa knew if Jamie had breast cancer or not. She is still a guest in Jackie's business. You don't sit and gossip about your customers. That is very unprofessional. She didn't sit and talk about Greg Plitt's first client. I don't know if it was the "editing" because there is such a long standing fued between her and Peeler but your customers are what keeps you driving that BMW and living in that fancy house in L.A.

48. I'm so over this show, Jackie is such a joke, typical mid west small town girl who hit it big and it went to her head. She is not a roll model for anyone, she clearly doesn't give a crap about anyone except herself. She really is just a drunk who cheats on all of her girlfriends and then puts everyone else down because she has the deep seaded need to feel superior. In my opinion her true self came out during the episode in question and really who would now go into that gym and pay to be snickered at behind their back. I think Jackie has showed us all that she is not really the sharpest tool in the shed and I for one will be glad to see this show off the air. It's already one step closer with the sponser pulling out and in LA it doesn't even air in a prime time slot.

49. and i guess eric thinks he lives in a world where a little inconsequential and private gossip is so horrible that viewers need to feel great offense and sponsorships must be yanked. not on this planet. go cry somewhere else, sissy

Oh Sweetie, thank you for proving my point. You don't have an answer so you go right to the insult. As anybody who has worked in a real world situation would know. In ANY company commenting on a womans breasts etc.. can get you fired for sexual harrassment, or at least in trouble. Not only does Jackie sleep with her employees and put herself in dubious situations with them, she also not only fails to protect her clients from sexual harrassment but joins in with the attacks. You can try to play it any way you want but the fact remains that in any business that follows legal norms Jackie's assistant would have been bounced and Jackie would be worrying that the client was going to file a complaint with the state. She is an insecure little child who has gotten a small taste of power. I hope she enjoys it because this won't end well, it never does for people like her.

51. Peabody's a tough-guy!! Always easy to sound like a tough-guy when your online. It's not private gossip when you are on a tv show. It's television when you have camera's around you recording everything that you do. When you don't have the camera's around you, then it's private gossip. Look at Micheal Vick with his sponserships being pulled. That was private too huh?? Multi-million dollar companies don't want their name associated with someone who is going to give them bad publicity. That's just not smart. I know that your online and knowbody knows you and you can sit and be a tough-guy all day long and piss people off but the fact is that the comment was aired on the show and she got in trouble for it. I'm still a fan of the show but Jackie should make it a point to apoligize for judging someone on the show. Does that work for ya tough-guy??

52. tough? its about mental strength, and eric and cambel are totally lacking. if you dont like jackie or the show, fine and whatever, but if you start whining about their gossipping and, WTF? sexual harrassment??... LOL!!!!! ......then the two of you need to wake up and understand that theres nothing fashionable about being stupid. america already has enough dopes like you

53. Clearly Bravo wants to sever ties with Jackie and her show, why else would they have aired this episode. Certainly not to highlight Jackies managerial skills and or to show the world what a sensitive and caring person she is.

Posted at 4:09PM on May 14th 2008 by so over it

54. Small gossip or not, the damage is done and on tape. Anyway, its bad Karma, Jackie will get hers in the end!

55. I hope Archuleta loses. What a nightmare his father is and will be if he wins. Give it to either of the other two and sent Archuleta packing. Frankly he is an annoying singer. He looks constipated when he sings. We don't need a whimpy little singer winning, Archuleta needs to grow some balls and then ditch his father.

56. peabody3000, or should I say "Jackie" go ahead, call me a stupid dope. The fact that you can't seem to figure out that making fun of a woman's breasts at work, in a place where your comments can be overheard does indeed fall under the laws governing sexual harassment is amazing to me. You must either work in a strip club or an adult bookstore, because in any other business that kind of behavior would get you bounced or at least reprimanded. Oh wait, thats right, we already know where you work, you run Sky Gym. Because other than Jackie herself I can't think of too many people who would be defending her ridiculous behavior.

57. I actually watched this show last night and i was shocked at the behavio Jackie presented. She was like she said she was sorry its done now move on. WHAT are you serious i am so glad Brian called her out her name that was funny. He was so in the right to be upset and Jackie attitude was embarrassing. She is so not likable this season. I hope she gets cancelled that will be the only way for her to get her head out of her own ass.

58. I have seen the error of my ways. I just watched the episode again, I now clearly see that Jackie crossed the line. Employer or not, human decency must prevail at some point.
I need to stop pointing the finger at all of you and start pulling the thumb at myself!

Posted at 5:31PM on May 14th 2008 by peabody3000

59. Wow, it's pretty clear Miss Jackie's lost integrity and support from her callous big-headed ways by reading these replies. Keep trying to back peddle, Jacks. It ain't working, and no one's buying it. GO PEELER.

60. Wow, now Soyjoy is pulling sponsorship too! Hope Jackie gets cancelled so she learns you can't treat people like that and except everoyne to worship you. She needs a lesson on treating others with respect and kindness.
