David Archuleta Leaving Music for Mormon Mission (Video)

Wendy — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:11:08 +0000

American Idol runner-up David Archuleta is leaving his music career behind for a couple of years to focus on a mission with the Mormon church.

Archuleta made the tearful announcement during his Christmas concert in Utah on Monday night, telling the audience, “It’s not because somebody told me that I was supposed to do it, not because that I no longer want to do music anymore, but it’s because it’s the feeling that I felt that I need to do next in my life.”

You can’t fault Archuleta for doing something other than music, especially considering that he was dropped by Jive Records after his “The Other Side of Down” album bombed.

Overpowering David Archuleta stage dad, Jeff Archuleta, was arrested in a prostitution sting at a massage parlor! News of the Jeff Archuleta charges broke overnight – he admitted to receiving sexual services with his back massage.

The raid of the Queens of Reiki massage parlor happened on January 14 in Midvale, Utah. Jeff Archuleta pleaded no contest and paid a $582 fine. Archuleta was the only client receiving services at the time of the raid.

Midvale Police Sgt. John Salazar reported, “Two of our detectives went back to that room to stop the activity. Inside they found a female masseuse and male client. At that time an interview ensued and the male client admitted to receiving sexual gratification from the masseuse.”

Salazar also commented, “We read him his Miranda rights twice. The second time because he said he didn’t understand them the first. During the questioning, he said he’d found the place on Craig’s List. He was asked if he’d received any sexual services and he said he had.”

Ew.
