Sanjaya Hunger Striker Powers On

Posted Mar 26th 2007 1:14PM by TMZ Staff

Sanjaya Malaker "J," the MySpacer who wants Sanjaya Malakar off "American Idol," is nine days into her hunger strike and feeling the effects.

She had planned to post a video entry to update fans on her condition, but instead wrote a blog Sunday night that read, "I know I promised you guys a YouTube video, but I am just feeling too tired and weak to do it tonight. I don't even know how I'm typing this right now."

The night before, she cautioned readers not to attempt a hunger strike of their own: "I got a few messages from people that say that [sic] want to join in the strike, I must reiterate over again that I do not recommend this. It's really not fun."

Perhaps it's time that "J" admits defeat and has a cheeseburger.

46. This shot of Sanjaya should be labeled "A powerful rodent killer"---even rats would be scared of it....it is a face only a mother could love! Yike---how ugly! TMZ is wasting precious space by putting this obnoxious wannabe!

48. #24acg...Don't hold back so much. It isn't healthy. Please tell us what you really feel...*bahaaha*

To take American Idol so seriously to consider a hunger strike is just disturbing.
The only time I watched the show was Season 3 when William Hung sang his version of "She Bangs". There was something just charming about his performance, I imagine it was his belief in himself that he had what it took to be the next American Idol. Otherwise, I think the show is overrated, it bugs me that it is on so many times a week, and wonder when it will be canceled and a better show put in its time slot.

50. I'd rather starve to death than hear Sanjaya's caterwauling. Everything about his is offensive to the senses.

57. Sanjaya is the only singer on the show that has personality and charisma....He may not be the best singer granted but some of the most wealthy and famous singers in the business werent so hot , Bret Micheals, Alice Cooper, Vince Neil, they had what it took till their voices got better ....Sanjaya needs to find a good rock band ..American Idol is to limited for him.....Face it Know it all American Idol fans Sanjaya is here to stay and has a chance to stay in this for a long time ...Sanjaya rocks !!!!!

That bitch is so stupid, get a life! Go eat a pizza and quit being so hateful. I mean really, I can understand you must hate your life and you try and bring others down to your level but Sanjaya WILL continue on and you will starve! Stupid Ass!

59. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This woman needs to get a life. Oh my gosh what a STUPID thing to do. If this stupid woman really wants to get involved in something meaningful, go down to the Gulf Coast and help the hurricane Katrina victims.

I am always amazed at the stupid things people will do for attention.

60. This is a 17-year old kid and he appeals to lots of young girls. They have every right to vote the way they want. What a sad commentary on this world that so many HORRIFIC things are going on in the world and someone is able to create news out of a starvation diet because a cute kid is still on IDOL. Honestly, it makes me WANT to vote for him!!
