KFC Supersizes Offer to Sanjaya

Sanjaya and Col. SandersKentucky Fried Chicken has upped the ante on their tasty offer to Sanjaya to see if the extra-crispy Idol will bite!

On top of a lifetime supply of their Famous Bowls, and a charitable donation in his name to Colonel's Scholars -- if Sanjy dons a bowl hairdo during one of his upcoming televised performances, KFC will pay "Idol's" breakout star $5000 in cash -- and give him a starring role in their next Famous Bowl ad! Now that's music to our ears!

In another open letter to Sanjaya, KFC President Gregg Dedrick writes, "The judges and critics may think you're a long shot for a recording contract, but at KFC, we think you're a real 'original.'" Ain't that a bucketful?!

Hopefully, the vocally-challenged showman will take KFC up on their deal, and not chicken out.

I love this kid also. I'm sick of the "cool" guys and the women who sound the same every week. Idol should be thankful they have Sanjaya this year or they would have no media coverage to speak of.

This is an erroneous offer from KFC, they know he is under contract with American idol for the next 12 months.

Hey Dude:

Sanjaya,if you are reading this. KFC has MEGA Bucks. Tell them you want $100,000.00 with half applied against usage. They can afford it.They also know that if you become UNION (SAG) that they will have to pay a whole lot more. Dude, get an Agent.

I love Sanjaya. He's the big reason for watching American Idol this year, aside from Melinda, who is terrific. He's a good singer, just doesn't have a big voice. He's sweet, handsome and talented. There is such a pack dog mentality out there. I don't know how he keeps singing and keeps smiling, week after week, with the abuse he's been getting. I wish him nothing but the best. I knew he was special the first time I saw him.
Simon keeps saying you've got to stand out from the crowd - well, Sanjaya does that, in spades.
Good luck,Sanjaya! You will be a star.
