Thanks for posting those links.

Sources also tell us Daddy Dearest sometimes screamed at his son and has even withheld water during rehearsals, even bringing his son to tears.

As far as "Idol" goes, we hear papa's wrath is still in full blossom. That might explain why Jeff, who normally sits in the audience, was replaced by other family members last week.

Hm.

This comment from the TMZ site made me LOL:

"I hate that kid. I would probably withold water from him too"

Now we know why the poor kid was licking his lips all the time.

I noticed he isn’t doing it now. Somebody gave him water.
