“American Idol” has had it with the father of contestant David Archuleta. The top-rated show has banned Jeff Archuleta from backstage access and inclusion in any part of the rehearsal process.

David Archuleta, the 17-year-old singing phenomenon who is favored to take this year’s “American Idol” title, found out Friday that his dad is no longer welcomed in the show’s inner circle. The Utah native has shot to the top three of the show that has launched the careers of over a dozen contestants.

When David broke into Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” during his performance of “Stand By Me” the producers decided to cease the father’s influence on the son who could be crowned the king of “American Idol.” A song out of the approved list requires extra money from Fox in terms of royalties. Adding “Beautiful Girls” cost Fox tons of cash and the Svengali behind David Archuleta was finished.

Canadian “fashion” model Jayde Nicole has been named the 2008 Playboy Playmate of the Year by fabulously dirty old man Hugh Hefner. (Can one be considered a fashion model when your major modeling claim to fame involves no clothes at all?)

Wearing what appears to be a slutty Halloween costume of Strawberry Shortcake’s friend Plum Puddin’ (original 80’s version, natch) the poor man’s Jennifer Tilly posed in front of her brand new Cadillac CTS at the Playboy mansion during a lunch thrown in her honor. Jayde will also enjoy $100,00 prize money and an 11-page nude spread in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

On the Playboy website, Jayde lists her turn-ons as “Intelligence, honesty, politeness, hopeless romantics and someone who is really into music. And nice eyes help,” and her turn-offs as “Liars, rude people, arrogance, people who are fake, bad hygiene and anyone who is mean to animals.”

Mariah Carey and new hubby Nick Cannon made their first public appearance as an old married couple last night in New York. Although the pair has remained mum to all but People magazine about their nuptials, we’ll take this major bling as confirmation!

Mariah’s gonna need that ring — she’ll have to hock it to pay her shoe bills when Cannon takes her 400,000 square foot New York apartment in the divorce next month.

Actress Mischa Barton is so mad about topless pap pics showing her old lady legs on the balcony of a beach house last week that she’s set her PR guy on the case!

Lisa Perkins told Rush & Malloy, “Those photos are doctored. I’m not saying she’s perfect, nobody is. But they’ve given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old. Look at the shots that were taken shortly before on a beach in L.A. Did she develop all that cellulite in a couple of weeks? There’s a lot you can do with Photoshopping.”

Britain’s Daily Mail blames the lumps on Barton’s smoking habit. “The nasty habit is one of the reasons [for] the premature emergence of her cellulite,” they wrote.

Aussie photographer Jamie Fawcett snapped the pics, which are certainly not the first of Mischa’s — ahem — problem areas (see above taken outside of an LA restaurant). He says Mischa is simply upset that she was photographed despite the fact that she was on a public beach.

“We spoke to each other, and that’s when I showed her my camera,” he said. “I did warn her it was a public place, and if she wanted privacy she shouldn’t be there.”

Of course, this is the same man against whom Nicole Kidman won a restraining order for his aggressive photo tactics, so who to believe? Either way, Mischa needs to drop the smokes and do some squats. My legs don’t even look like that and I’m, um, older than 22.

Though the girl’s certainly not above screwing with the public just for kicks, Paris Hilton showed up yesterday at a press conference in NYC wearing what looks like an engagement ring. As one would expect of an heiress, we’re talking rocks, not a rock.

Here’s how her left hand looked yesterday as she was introducing her new line of hair extensions, her latest little business partnership — this one with Sally Beauty Supply.

Paris Hilton - Engaged?

And here’s a close-up of the (engagement?) ring:

Is this Paris Hilton’s engagement ring… or just a CZ fake?

So is Paris engaged to Benji Madden now? We’d have to wonder how Nicole Richie, babymama to fiance Joel Madden — Benji’s twin brother — feels about that.

“The Simple Life” girls meet the Good Charlotte boys. Sounds like a bad sitcom.

That’s our theory, anyway. Perhaps she stole some of John Cusack and Matt Damon’s spermies and had them spliced together to form Super Actor Baby. Maybe it was her craft service guy. Pool boy?

Minnie told The Independent, “I want to shield the baby’s dad as much as I can because it wasn’t his choice to get roped into all this stuff.”

Have these people never taken high school sex ed? According to my health teacher, if you choose to have sex you are choosing all of the consequences that come along with it, therefore it was his choice and she needs to tell us who it is!

The pressure builds as reality television singing contest American Idol rapidly approaches its final showdown on May 20. But contestant Jason Castro of Rockwall, Texas will no longer need to worry after being voted off of American Idol during tonight’s Results Show.

Moments before the dismissal announcement, an impish Castro had resolved himself to a fourth-place exit, confessed the growing show workload had gotten the best of him.

“It’s three songs next week,” Castro said with a wide-eyed blank look that broke into a trademark impish grin. “I don’t know what I would’ve done.”

The ever-candid Castro who continued to nervously flipped a stack of shoulder-length dreadlocks over his shoulder had known for awhile that “my inexperience is starting to show this late in the competition.” But after stumbling Tuesday night over Bob Marley and Bob Dylan classics followed by - someone told him last night that he shot the tambourine man,” Castro realized the jig was up.

Syesha Mercado, 21, who had narrowly escaped banishment in six of the previous eight rounds, joined Castro on death’s doorstep after a screechy “Proud Mary” and mixed reviews after “A Change Is Gonna Come” on Tuesday.

David Cook (”Hungry like the Wolf”, “Baba O’Reilly”) and David Archuleta (”Stand By Me,” “Love Me Tender”) were put straight through to the May 13 semifinal round. Mercado will accompany the pair of Davids.

Castro’s quarterfinal effort during Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame Week included the singer’s most experimental tune of the season. A spliced-down 90 second version of reggae-rooted “I Shot the Sheriff” needed for airing and a questionable arrangement was deemed a misfire by panelists Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell, while wiping out three measures of lyrics in “Mr. Tambourine Man” was a self-inflicted wound that Castro would not overcome.
