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.

27. Is Sanjaya vegetarian? If so, I doubt he'll work for KFC.
Plus, while he seems to have a sense of humor about the show, I think he still takes it seriously enough to resist wearing a KFC bowl on his head! :)

28. Who in the HECK is sanjaya, what in the HECK is he doing on every other news piece you write, and is he the HECK possibly related to someone at TMZ or something? I have never seen one person so badly overly exposed and crammed down the throats of the public in my life, I have nothing against this guy on a personal basis becasue I dont know him but enough is enough. You are driving us nuts with the coverage of this guy. Britney , Lindsay lohan and Paris Hilton have been bad enough for overexposure. Now Sanjay. Change the subject.
