"Star Search" Alumni
We never thought it was possible for someone to look older at 12 than at 18, but David Archuleta is like a real-life Benjamin Button. When he appeared on "Star Search" as a preteen in 2003, he looked like a little old man. Now he looks more like his youthful age. Archuleta won the show's coveted Junior Vocal Champion prize, with judge Naomi Judd calling him a "Wayne Newton Mini-Me" and Ben Stein offering, "I can't believe how much soul came out of this little teeny loaf of Wonder Bread." Four years later, he passed an audition for "American Idol's" seventh season and came in second behind David Cook, with 44 percent of the 97 million votes. His fans, lovingly called the Archies, have since bought more than 700,000 copies of his album "Crush" (which debuted at #2 on the "Billboard" 200 chart). Archuleta has toured the U.S., the U.K., and the Philippines (with David Cook) and has been nominated for three Teen Choice awards. He made his acting debut on Nickelodeon's "iCarly" and performed a duet with Miley Cyrus on "Hannah Montana." Watch for two new releases from him this fall: his sophomore pop CD and a Christmas record.

Get a life.. a job.. a something! See you dont wanna be you!"
fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"
Timo said "C'mon folks, the dude just a cool good actor. I don't care what kind of movie it is as long as Nicolas Cage or Denzel (my other obsession) are in it. His spending? I would buy all that shit especially the houses if I could afford it. Octopus and Cobra? NO. I laughed my ribs off from his admission ...."We come from a long lineage of robbers and highwaymen in Italy. Even killers." Go Nic just don't end up broke like Mike Tyson!"
majik said "eBay was made for people like this. Some of the things owned by Nicholas will go for huge money as long as it does not appear to be a firesale. I enjoy all of his movies and do hope that Mr. Cage can continue to provide the entertainment on and off screen for a very long time to come."
mickey_dees2009 said "It seems to me that some people are forgetting where we live. This is the United States of America! And as such we are entitled to freedoms. If we choose to spend our money on "weird" items, then so be it! Its our money and we can do with it as we wish. Put yourself in his shoes and you would more than likely buy what he is being criticized for. Would you like for the people or the government to tell you what you can and cannot buy or own? NO! Get off it! Nic Cage is a great actor. Period.And as far as 'helping charities , he does help by donating his time and money (money that he worked for) to charities and needy orginations. "Help the the children and people of Kenya"? For those of who still believe in God and doing what is morally right, Take care of what is in your own backyard. Clean up this country and then we will be in better shape to help others. Also, who was it that came up with the website godismichaeljackson, is a fool. Pure and simple.! That is blasphemy 100 % ! No human (dead or alive) can compare to God."
dwightmlee said "You failed to mention that he has one of the biggest egos on the planet! There’s the answer to all your questions. His financial problems – all attributable to his massive ego – but of course he blames them on others – like all the egotists always blame everything – on others!"
jeffreyw4 said "I've always been puzzled by this "brilliant actor" buzz. Nic Cage is a reasonably competent actor and has some emotional range. But he is a one character performer. That is, he ultimately only plays himself. And a lot of his delivery has a sort of monotone blandness to it. By contrast great actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Daniel Day Lewis not only can emote (much more convincingly, I would add) but can also take on truly diverse roles. "
BRUT said "Mr. Cage is a brilliant actor who has every right to spend his hard earned money any way he wants. Eccentric lifestyle adds to his box office appeal and I would feel honored to have met the man someday. You try making that much money and not being a little quirky with it. Carry on Nick - your fans will not think less of you no matter what weird things they say about you. You have provided hours of high quality entertainment for all of us and I thank you."
