The Justin Files, 5/12/08

An Idol mini-scandal
Stories have been floating around for weeks about the alleged actions of David Archuleta's father. Some publications have called him a stereotypical "stage dad" who intimidates show staff, other contestants, and his own kid. It turns out that there may be some truth to the rumors, Idol officials have revoked Jeff Archuleta's back stage access, banning him from rehearsals. It should be interesting to see how the decrees affect David's performances. We'll get our first chance to find out tomorrow night.


Life imitates art
Not only is Britney Spears making her second appearance on How I Met Your Mother tonight, but the episode's storyline of a charity auction will be reflected in real life. You can check out and bid on goodies from the show at www.charityfolks.com. The money raised will go to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.


Quick Hits
* More photos are surfacing of Jennifer Aniston and Point troubadour John Mayer getting cozy in Miami last weekend.

* The rumors that I reported on a while ago have been confirmed. NBC has announced that former Saturday Night Live cast member Jimmy Fallon will take over for Conan O'Brien on Late Nite when Conan moves into Jay Leno's chair next year.

* Iron Man kept an iron grip on the box office this past weekend, more than doubling the take of the nearest competitor. The Robert Downey, Jr. flick took in $50 million while Speed Racer only brought in $20 million at number 2.
