Celebrity Feuds
"Idol" Reject Is Trying to Screw the Show

Paris Bennett votes for Sanjaya Malakar -- and she hopes it'll take down "American Idol."

Last season's petite powerhouse phoned into the "Tone E Fly Morning Show" in Minneapolis today, and called "Idol" "a joke," and said she and a few other contestants are using the Web site VotefortheWorst.com to screw with the results.

"We want to see him [Sanjaya] win because it'll kind of prove that 'American Idol' is kind of losing its taste," says Bennett, "it kinda isn't going for talent anymore and more for popularity."

At least she isn't bitter.

46. this is why the show should have you vote for you who want to GO, not who you want to stay. it would make things easier, as you won't have to split your vote between 6 or 7 people who are good, just make one phone call to who was bad. it would hinder sites like vote for the worst who artificially inflate the poor-performing contestant's results.

48. People are just realizing NOW that idol is a joke? lol, it's pretty much been down hill since Kelly Clarkson won. She's the only winner who has made a massive impact on the Top 40 charts all over the world, selling a whopping 14 million CDs. Carrie Underwood is a close second with her Country Music success. The runners up seem to fair better than the winners in the rest of the seasons. People like Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson, and Chris Daughtry have nothing to complain about after losing. Where's Taylor Hicks right now? Idol IS a joke... vote for Sanjaya. Idol kicked off incredibly talented people because they wanted Sanjaya's cute little face to be in the top 24. Why the hell wasn't Rachael Zevita there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thjy5plN5xY Could it be that she doesn't look like Katharine McTaTa's or what? Vote for Sanjaya everyone... it might get Idol to reform their habit of picking people for looks rather than talent. Perhaps if Rachael hadn't had braces.... ??? Oh well, at least they saved room from the talentless Sanjaya. : o |

49. Paris - Not playing nice after they treated her so well and gave her the chance of a lifetime....sour grapes....not gracious or nice and adds up to bad KARMA, She should try being gareful and appreciative instead of mean and spiteful.

51. Can't they just "FIX" the result of the winner for this dumb show ? It's not like they need to release the official vote to the public.

53. If they change the show to voting for the worst, it would make it much easier to keep the good ones on.

55. Paris is trying to regain her 15 minutes of fame off of Sanjaya because she can't get a major record deal. Sour Grapes.

56. That's really funny because last year she was the contestant that stayed WAY too long. Every week we thought she was going to be voted off because she SUCKED. It's rather ironic that she's bemoaning the popularity angle because that's the only reason she stayed so long; everybody thought she was cute.

I thought she was a little wannabe whiny bitch and last yeay my greastest wish was that instead of calling to vote for who to keep on, we could vote for who to kick off!!

57. This is ALL the 3 judges FAULT. They should never have allowed Sanjaya to go to Hollywood to being with. I wouldn't doubt if they planned this outcome themselves.

58. i'm probably one of five people in the world who has never watched an AI season from beginning to end. i usually watch the beginning because it's so hilarious!...and keep up w/entertainment news on the judges. i have no idea who paris bennett is...BUT i do like sanjaya! he's such a cutie and has charisma! he seems like a sweet innocent kid. truly, how can people knock him?? like someone else said, MADONNA has been selling cd for years!! if britney, JLO, and God help us, ASHLEE SIMPSON AND HER SISTER can sell cd's and not actually sing, why can't sanjaya??? they can't all be mariah careys or christina aguileras!!

60. What an ungrateful little witch. She would never have been as popular had it not been for this show. SHe better think about what she is doing to the people that are up there WITH talent. That is so unfair.

Ungrateful little maggot.........................
