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.

61. I dont dam blame him. TMZ has little right, if any to complain about someone being pissy with them.

62. #61, the friend was a female of an Asian decent, dark curly hair, thin, very pretty. She had on a hooded shirt with a print on it. I was not knocking the guy. I was merely stating that he was normal, nothing special as this website is portraying him to be. I know the picture posted is old since Sanjaya had facial hair yesterday and I doubt anyone can grow it over night!

63. Sanjaya would never do that stuff. His pics are FREE and wouldnt charge someone for it. This is all just a bunch off crap you jealous jerks are trying to make us not like him. Well guess what? ITS NOT WORKING!!!

64. # 45. - No, actually I'm not kidding. Hmm, I was there for about an hour, but spent about a half hour with him. It's not just me. A lot of my friends have met him. Many people from his fansite did. I have not heard ONE negative experience besides this one. So who am I going to believe, this stupid tabloid, or hundreds of people who's opinions I trust?

You're calling me naive? At least I can think for myself and don't believe everything I hear.

Your grammar confuses me. "Besides way would you joke like that?" I guess you mean, "Besides, would you joke like that?" Actually, yeah. It's kinda funny.

"Not only did Sanjaya, but his stupid did too." Are you talking about his sister? She has a name - Shyamali, and she's also very nice. She would never in a million years say that, she's REALLY shy. Have you seen her in interviews? She's really quiet.

"GO HOME!" Uhh, I already am home...

65. #58. - Someone who believes every word as gospel that this trash tabloid publishes would be the more naive one. That's exactly why I don't believe this crap.

SANJAYA ROCKS! xD

66. Thanks #64. You know, I'm the biz and get around. You would be quite suprised who you run into in very normal places and and they act like normal people, doing day to day things. Hey, Brit Brit even pumps her own gas! I also suspect that TMZ guy was acting like a jerk, if this story is even true.

To the little girls up above. Please stop posting. You sound like idiots and make Sanjaya look bad.

68. I've met Sanjaya and spent time with him on several occasions. He's a down to earth and real guy. No attitude. Everyone I know who has actually MET him or knows him has nothing but good things to say.

69. i love how you make this stuff up. i see no picture, and that picture you have posted is from the really awards, before you go spreding a bunch of FAKE rumors, atleast have a few decent lies to back it up. you have no proof that this actually happened. i sense nothing but a bunch of bull and jelousy, dont worry i would be jelous of sanjaya to if i was a nobody, we all cant be as good as him =]

70. #70. - As Sanjaya would say, "ROCK ON!"

71. Sanjaya is a woman. A woman I tell you. At least he wants to be a woman. He is definitely not a man.

72. Sophie [loves Sanjaya] and others, what part of "you sound like idiots" did you not understand? Poor guy should get a restraining order and send out cease and desist letters.

73. Not sure why this article was written because none of that is true about Sanjaya and Shyamali. Those are all outright lies. Sorry to see so many of you so quick to believe that these decent young people would be so crass . . . most especially sorry to see the author of this piece obviously did not check the facts before printing such inflammatory statements.

74. Just another girly man trying to get attention. Can't sing, can't dance, but can con people into believing he's still something, hell, anything. Go away bug or someone going swat you!!
