David Archuleta

From American Idol to iCarly.

David Archuleta is set to make his actint debut on the Nickelodeon sitcom, as the season seven runner-up will portray himself in an episode that will air in the spring.

The show itself focuses on a high school student, played by Miranda Cosgrove, who runs a video blog with her friends. This is where Archuleta will come in.

In the episode titled "iRocked the Vote," Archuleta apears on a show called America Sings. He enjoys an increase in votes after winning support in an iCarly webcast.

The guest-starring stint is part of the singer's promotional plans for his debut album, which comes out on November 11.

The main American Idol talk this week has centered around Kara DioGuardi as the fourth judge on the show. Look for her in season eight.

But while decisions such as this were being made behind the scenes, the two most popular contestants from season seven were entertaining fans as part of the American Idols Live Tour.

Here's a look at David Archuleta and David Cook from a show in Los Angeles earlier in the week:

Both David Archuleta and David Cook have albums coming out in November.

Attentions, teenage female readers of The Hollywood Gossip:

Get up close to the computer screen. Come on... a bit closer... okay, now focus on the following quote from David Archuleta, as he describes his dream girlfriend:

"She has to be fun, have respect for herself and be adventurous," the American Idol runner-up said last night at the Teen Choice Awards.

Got that, ladies? Go learn how to rock climb and Archie could be yours!

David Archuleta is single... and looking!

A trio of new songs from young singers have hit the airwaves.

Here's your chance to compare and contrast the singles, beginning with the following vomitous creation from Ali Lohan, "All the Way Around."

American Idol runner-up, David Archuleta, is far more appealing to the senses. Here's his debut song, "Crush."

Lastly, rising Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove has released "Stay My Baby." Listen to it below and send us your thoughts on all three singles.

Weeks ago, we caused quite an uproar by implying that David Archuleta had a girlfriend.

Whether or not that was valid, the American Idol finalist has made one thing clear: he never got to first base with that random girl.

According to an interview with Seventeen, Archuleta has never locked lips with anyone. Here are a few highlights from the cutie's conversation with that magazine:

When was your first kiss?
I haven't had a first kiss.

What's a girl fashion trend that confuses you?
I don't get those really short skirts.

What's the girly movie you secretly love?
I only know of one, and it was good: A Walk to Remember. I hear so much about The Notebook, but I've never seen it. That's the one all the girls were like, "Aww!"

Netflix orders for The Notebook just increased significantly, as teenage girls across the country hope to watch it with David Archuleta and be his first kiss.

Over the weekend, David Archuleta was pressured into praising his father, Jeff Archuleta, for the world to read. So we assume, at least.

After summarizing his Father's Day plans, David wrote the following on his MySpace page:

"Thanks everyone for wishing my dad a happy Father's Day. I really appreciate that and I know he does as well. He's been great so I'm glad you guys took time to send him your messages. Hope everyone else's dads had a great time, too!"

Did Jeff Archuleta force his son to write a positive blog about him? It wouldn't shock us if so.

The elder Archuleta was banned from appearing backstage on American Idol earlier this year, following an incident in which he screamed at show producers for not allowing his son to change lyrics on a song; he's been referred to many times as a controlling stage dad.

The 17-year-old David has always stood by Jeff's side, however.

Meanwhile, fans will get a chance to see the singer do what he does best during the upcoming American Idol Idol tour, while David will also release a debut album in the fall.

No shocker here: David Archuleta has signed a record contract.

"Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true," Archuleta said in a statement. "I'm really excited to start working on everything."

The 17-year-old fan favorite - who finished second on American Idol this season to David Cook - already has three songs on the Hot 100 chart, including his rendition of "Imagine" and "In This Moment."

Look for Archuleta's debut album in the fall. In the meantime, catch the cutie on stage as part of The Idols Live Tour, which kicks off July 1 in Arizona.

The actual American Idol winner won't be announced until tomorrow night.

Following their latest performances, though, we wanna know which finalist our readers think will take home the crown.

David Cook or David Archuleta?

David Archuleta sang Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me; In This Moment; and Imagine.

David Cook sang I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For; Dream Big; and The World I Know.

Who did a better job?

The big night is here. The favorite from the onset, David Archuleta has dispatched all but one singer as he closes in on the American Idol crown. But does Archuleta deserve it - or should David Cook win? That's the subject of today's Face-Off ...

SHOULD DAVID ARCHULETA BE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL?

YES by Free Britney

To paraphrase a line from the great MC Paul Barman, David Archuleta's voice makes even the most anti-choice granny's panties moist.

That may be a crude way of putting it, but there's no denying that young Archuleta has massive appeal - and is a star in the making.

The American Idol world has seen some amazing talent and some real cuties, but David Archuleta may take the cake on both fronts.

This kid is no novelty act, but a true prodigy.

His formidable fellow finalist, David Cook, has been lauded for his guitar playing, but don't forget that David Archuleta accompanied himself on piano during his renditions of "Another Day in Paradise" and "Angels." He's got game!

Oh, and what an inspirational story! Archuleta once suffered partial vocal paralysis (from which he is still recovering)! He's controlled by his insane father! He couldn't even go to his prom! What more can he do to win our hearts?

He's the only guy not named Jack Daniel to bring Paula Abdul to tears. Just "imagine" what he could do with an entire CD!

What's the best part of the following David Archuleta photo montage?

It's actually not the fact that teenage girls across the country can drool over the cuteness of this American Idol finalist.

It's that you can easily save this image on your desktop and - presto! - you've got David Archuleta wallpaper. Therefore, no matter who wins Archuleta's showdown with David Cook tomorrow night, you'll never be too far away from this adorable crooner.

You're welcome.
