You Might Want to Rethink
Sanjaya: Super Bowl Diva

Sanjaya"American Idol" wannabeen Sanjaya Malakar may not have learned how to sing like a diva -- but he sure can act like one!

TMZ spies spotted Sanji and his similarly coiffed sis, Shyamali, getting their free swag on -- and their attitudes -- this weekend at the Hanes Style Villa in Arizona.

After picking up thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and spa treatments, we're told Sanjaya wanted a photog to give him $20 for taking his pic.

Not to be upstaged by her brother, Shyamali got in on the prima donna act by telling another style suite photog, "We're not taking a picture unless we know what we're getting." Along with swag, the dynamic duo appear to have picked up a bad rep.

31. If he told me I had to pay 20 dollars to take his picture, I'd pull out 100 bill and burn it with my Bic lighter.

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS???

he's a nobody.

32. God, the z-list is filled with losers. I wouldn't pay anything for his picture, he's ugly and overrated. Can he go away now?

33. Somebody needs to tell this little twerp that no one is gonna pay 20 CENTS for his photo, nevermind 20 dollars. Who does he think he is??? "We're not taking a picture unless we know what we're getting." Hahahaha. Thats classic.

36. I wonder if he knows that he has to pay tax on that swag now. If he got $20,000 worth of swag, he probably has to pay the IRS $10,000 in cash. He'll be paying $10,000 on stuff that he might not have even wanted. Ebay!

37. Is that a margarita or martini glass in Sanjaya's hand?? Was he drinking underage? Also if he and his sister were does this affect her Probation for her Marijuana arrest? If you forgot her and Sanjaya's Mother were arreasted for Pot!!

40. This is so stupid. Sanjaya would NEVER ask for money to get his picture taken. If he did, I know for a fact he was kidding. He has a good sense of humor. He probably said it as a joke. When I met him, he joked around too. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM! WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE HIM? I've met him before and he's one of the sweetest guys ever. The world would be a better place with more people like him.

Have you guys become so pathetic that you have to result to printing false information? Wow. Just wow. That's incredibly lame.

42. He is such a joke. Anyone can see from a mile away that this kid is GAY!!!! His sister has more facial hair than he does. Well I hope he gets his money now, because in a few years he will just be a big queen, strung out on meth, dancing shirtless in a gay club.....I will keep you updated when I see him there. lol

43. #43 Are you kidding me! You met someone, (how long did you spend with him?) Someone can act like the sweetest person and you can think that this person is the way they acted.

Wake UP! Don't be so naive. Besides way would you joke like that? Not only did Sanjaya, but his stupid did too. GO HOME!

44. no shame

45. WHY does the public make idiot no-talents creeps like this into some kind of celebrity? What on earth was Hanes thinking by even letting him in their villa, let along giving him a goodie bag filled with expensive jewelry, etc. Along THAT line, what is wrong with these stupid companies that they feel like they have to GIVE stufrf to all the greedy "celebs". How about just saying NO. I'm ready to start boycotting companies that give thousands-$$ of freebies to these no talent hacks.
