David Archuleta, the American Idol runner-up, spoke with the ladies of The View about his life after the show. He says he’s been too busy with music to pursue a romantic relationship; the only rumors that persist are those about his cloying father, Jeff, who was banned from the American Idol backstage area for assuming too much control over the show.
Archuleta cites Eva Cassidy as one of his greatest musical influences; he also performed “Stand By Me” on the show.
He will join winner David Cook and the other 8 finalists on the American Idols Live tour, which begins on July 1.

Imus In Trouble

Radio personality Don Imus doesn’t seem to be able to stay out of trouble when discussing race.
After a 2007 faux pas, in which he insulted members of the Rutgers University basketball team, Imus’ media credibility plummeted; Imus has refueled that particular fire and re-established himself as a commentator who cannot see past race when discussing the legal troubles of Adam “Pacman” Jones.
Jones, a professional football player, was suspended for the entire 2007 NFL season for his involvement in an altercation in Las Vegas, which left one man paralyzed. Imus seemed unable to resist ascribing Jones’ difficulties to the fact that he is black; the host later referred to the incident a misunderstanding.
