Exclusive: David Archuleta On Celebrity Crushes, Birthdays And More

What are your plans for your 20th birthday come 28 December?
I don’t know, I guess it’s not like a huge birthday. You are leaving your teen years but not like 21 yet or anything. Every birthday and probably for the rest of my birthdays, I usually will just go and eat dinner with my family or whomever I’m with.

No huge party to usher in your 20s?
No, not really. For the last two or three years I had Thai food for dinner.

Reba, Blake Shelton + More Reveal Favorite Holiday Viewing

“Charlie Brown Christmas is one of them, and I remember even ‘Ernest P. Worrell Saves Christmas’ — that’s a good one,” says Danny Gokey. “The one where the kid says ‘fudge,’ but he said the mother of all cuss words … ‘The Christmas Story’ or something like that. ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ … I don’t think you could ever wear out the movies. Even National Lampoon’s ‘Christmas Vacation.’ That’s a favorite.”

Sun, sea and sniping: How Simon Cowell’s warring women are coming to blows on holiday in Barbados

Simon Cowell may have thought he had lived through dramas and tantrums enough on this year’s X Factor.

But when his fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy arrived on his holiday, she brought with her fireworks so explosive that they put the hissy fits of Cher Lloyd in the shade.

To say there is trouble in paradise would be putting it mildly. And Simon’s ex-girlfriend, Sinitta Malone, is at the centre of the row.

For Sinitta has been with Simon since the holiday in Barbados began five days ago.

She’s brought her children and is staying on Cowell’s tab at the Sandy Lane Hotel but spending much time on his yacht, The Slipstream.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Woman Suing J-Lo For $10M: ‘It Isn’t Fair She Has All The Money In The World’

Claudia Vazquez is suing superstar Jennifer Lopez for $10 million, and told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive video interview that she’s doing it in defense of her career and her life.

“I’m just me and I’m defending my career, my life,” Vazquez said about her lawsuit against Lopez, which claims the Jenny On The Block singer is interfering with production on a movie about her ex-husband, Ojani Noa.

Vasquez has been Noa’s girlfriend for 10 years.

“It isn’t fair that Jennifer Lopez has all the money in the world. Why would she stop somebody that is so small for her?” Vazquez told RadarOnline.com.

    ww. I have Adam and Danny, lol. And also David C. and (recently) David A., haha. And yeah, very harmonious nonetheless on the iPod…

    It’s nice to be well rounded! :) I’m with you on that! :)

  • Studio57

    Okay sorry if this has been discussed already, but come on people! If you are an idol fan, a REAL idol fan, you will never, ever forget the unforgettable performance of one Camille Velasco singing Yellow Brick Road. Enjoy!

  • smeggingnuts

    Well I have Adam (shocker), Blake and Allison

  • abbysee

    Well, late to this game but I’ve gotta play. I have Kelly, Justin, Tamyra, Ruben, Fantasia, Taylor, Archie, Jordin, Blake, Melinda, Bo, Anoop, Kris, Allison, Carly, Michael, Adam, Kelly, Josiah, and now Crystal.

  • goboywonder

    And I have David A, Elliot, Kelly, Jordin, Ruben, Fantasia, Taylor, Danny, Kris, Lee, Brandon, and Chris R. Still waiting for Chikezie and way past due getting Melinda.

    Tinawina – loved your pre-emptive Cook excuses from last night :lol

    And yes – I think we were all having a bit of fun and poking a stick at ourselves for our own fannish tendencies.

    But I have no doubt we’ll all be here, angsting to our full capacities.

    Actually, that conversation last night was quite an amusing illustration of the conversation with Tess earlier.

    It is not possible for someone who is a fan of one person (in this case Cook) to mention another (in this case Archie) without someone else assuming there is a negative connotation – and this is when the context is long, long past…human discourse indeed.

    But at least we’re now all wishing everyone well and singing in harmony…

    Loved the delve into terrible contestants from the past too. That has to be why AI has lasted as long as it has – the food it provides for group discussion and (now) nostalgia: it’s a strong selling point.

  • renataamelo

    I have Adam, Cookie and Kris!

  • LCT

    As an Archie fan myself I cannot wait for Cookie’s album! David loves his Cookie and we do too! Best of luck to Cook!

  • karenc

    I have Cookie, Adam, Kris, Lee, Carly, Michael J, Daughtry, and Casey. And more David Cook. And they all coexist on my ipod:)

    So, I guess the next person I will like will be Ti :) I’ll watch for him or her in auditions.

    Seriously, though, I think the thing with fanwars is to realize that everyone has their favorites. And that my favorite isn’t necessarily someone elses favorite. It really comes down to people liking different kinds of music, and that’s why there are so many different kinds.

  • wordnerdarchie

    I’ve cherry-picked a song here or there from some idols, but the ones that I’ve invested in the complete albums are: Allison, Iraheta, Anoop Desai, Bo Bice, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro, Kris Allen, Michael Sarver and We Are the Fallen (Carly Smithson).

    I do have random singles from: Adam Lambert, Alex Lambert, Brooke White, Casey James, Clay Aiken, Crystal Bowersox, Kelly Clarkson, Katelyn Epperly, Kristy Lee Cook, Lee Dewyze, Michael Johns, Siobhan Magnus and Tim Urban.

    If I really like the artist for their style of music and persona (it’s a package deal), I’ll buy the whole album. However, if I’m not totally into their style and/or haven’t connected with them personally but am impressed by a track or two, I’ll buy just the songs that appeal to me. I’m sure there are lots of people out there that do the same as I do.

  • tierbee

    Oh, man, it would take me a long time to list all the Idols on my iPod. I like so much of their music :) Melinda and Elliott are two of my favorites, have some Michael Johns, Brooke, Carly… well, it goes on and on. I love voices. Idol has brought me some really, really terrific voices!

  • Mieps

    Thank you Allison, Happy New Year to you too!

    I have everything of Adam, album and some Idol performances of both Kris and Allison, bought Permanent by Cook because it touched me tremendously, still does and it is one of my most played songs. This year I got Painted Black, Siobhan, and Me and Bobby McGee, Crystal.

    Merry Christmas everyone and I wish the best for 2011, for you, your family and your idols!

  • karenc

    Just wanted to say, about the Season 8 fanwars still going on, I think the reason they are still going on is not just because of Adam fans still being upset that he lost, but also more recently from fans of other idols even from other seasons because of a perception that he is getting more from RCA than others got for their first cd. And I understand there may be some truth to this but also think there may be other reasons for the differences in promotion of certain artists.

    Anyway, I think the difference is that a contestant is being compared to a contestant from other seasons, so that is why it continues where other fanwars have not.
