The yentas at "The View" -- on a road trip to Vegas -- muzzled David Archuleta when he started defending his stage-dad from hell -- so they could question Jeff himself from the audience.

Michael Johns "F**ks" Up His Career
All it took was a couple of F-bombs to make American Idol reject Michael Johns totally likable.
The Aussie wannabeen was pulled out of the crowd and onto the stage at a Dan Band concert (the foulmouthed wedding singers from "Old School"), and finally gave a performance worth watching.
At least he's not in a balloon festival yet ...

Archuleta's Daddy Day Care
Guess David Archuleta won't have to worry too much about that prom next year -- because he won't be going to Murray High!
David withdrew from school during his run through "American Idol." School officials tell TMZ David hasn't re-signed up for his senior year, which starts on August 25.
He'll be out on the road on the "AI" tour until September. Our sources tell us he is ditching Murray to do the home school thing (as in home with Daddy Dearest Jeff ) so he can work on his new album.
We haven't heard from David's reps as yet.
"Idol" Reject to Police: Oopsies!
Vonzell Solomon has released a ridiculous statement about airport security finding a gun in her bag at a Florida Airport.
"I in no way intended to enter the plane with a firearm. I was rushing to make a scheduled flight and simply did not realize it was in my handbag until I went through security." Dontcha hate when that happens?
While most of us are struggling to pack 3 oz. of liquid, Baby V has a Glock in her clutch.

The hits just keep on coming for "American Idol" finalist Baby V.
Now the Bank of New York is foreclosing on Vonzell Solomon's Florida home. The house is toast -- i.e., on the auction block -- on June 16. This is the same "AI" wannabe that was busted Tuesday in a Florida airport for trying to board a plane carrying a gun. Rough coupla days!
Of course, she could be playing the local Wild Wings.

"Idol" Never-Was Popped With Gun at Airport
Times really do get rough after "American Idol!"
Security officials nabbed season four finalist Vonzell "Baby V" Solomon yesterday at Southwest Florida International Airport when they found an unloaded gun in her luggage.
Get this -- turns out Solomon actually has a permit to pack heat, but she still can't have one in an airport. Cops took her gun away and sent her packing with a court date.
Apparently the less successful "Idol" contestants are forced to be their own security!
Seacrest: Tight End, Big Tipper
A stunned Ryan Seacrest refused to believe us when we told him about the Claby -- so imagine how we felt when he told us he played high school football. Huh?! Surprisingly, both are true.
The metrosexual marvel revisited the glory days outside STK -- where we're told he always takes care of the little people and drops serious tips to the staff.

Sanjaya Doesn't Play Fair
Sanjaya is trying to gouge poor, unsuspecting country fair folk.
The scene of the crime: The Richmond County Fair. They asked the hair-brained reject to sing. He demanded $8,000.
We're told at the same fair last year, Kimberly Caldwell and Paris Bennett raked in less than $5,000 -- and that's for the package.
So how do we know this? Fair officials called TMZ to ask if eight grand for Sanjaya was fair. We declined to comment on the phone.
Eight - grand is insane!
Clay Aiken E-smack-ulates
Clay Aiken showed a flair of masculinity last night as he went after our D.C. photog who wanted some info on the Claby.

Clay Aiken Impregnates Someone!
TMZ has learned Clay Aiken is going to be a daddy. In case you didn't process that, Clay Aiken is going to be a daddy.
Here's what we know. Multiple sources tell us the mother is Jaymes Foster, a record producer and Clay's best friend. He lives at her home when he's in L.A.
We're told 50-year-old Foster, who produced several Aiken CDs, is due in August. She's the sister of record mogul David Foster. She divorced a few years back and has no kids. Aiken is 29.
We're told Foster was artificially inseminated. But Clay is a lot more than sperm -- we're told he will have an active role in raising the child.
No immediate word from Aiken's rep.
David Archuleta's Shrill Sergeant
The rules for getting a picture with David Archuleta are stricter than Nazi Germany.
Before the "Idol" loser could leave "Regis & Kelly" yesterday, a high-pitched handler had to lay down the law. Why so militant? It's not like he's David Cook.

Sanjaya Prepares for Retirement
Hold on to your scrunchie! Despite being on his 16th minute of fame, pony-hawked "Idol" wannabeen Sanjaya Malakar is going Nationwide.
Instead of performing at the opening of an outlet mall or local balloon festival like his fellow "Idol" losers, Sanji followed in the bankrupt footsteps of MC Hammer and Kevin Federline and filmed the latest ad for Nationwide insurance in India today.
The theme of the commercial is about planning for your retirement -- something that happened to Sanjaya the minute he was voted off "A.I."
