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.

91. Why are people so concerned about him being gay? Don't worry, he's out of your league anyway you homophobes. Relax, forget your fears of getting a chance to tap that ass because I'm sure he has better offers. He's not into fat ugly geeks who live in their mother's basements and have nothing better to do than make fun of gay pretty boys on gossip sites.

93. It's amazing to me how people trash someone they don't know. It's a sport, I can see that. But as human beings do we have the right to speak ill of someone who we don't even know? Should we speak ill of anyone, really?

Sanjaya is such a wonderful young man. He's quite gifted, intelligent and big hearted, If he asked for $20 for a picture I'm sure it was in jest. He's got a wicked sense of humor. Messing with photographer seems appropriate to me. I think it is incredible how Sanjaya is still comfortable being himself. I still don't see him compromising. He had some solid values and I don't see any sign of him drifting away from them.

I know he is doing quite well and he deserves it. As long as he continues to be genuine he'll be fine.

For all of the people who posted racist and demoralizing comments, all I can say is, it's your karma!

94. Wow. TMZ you have got to be kidding me.
I have ever heard anything bad about Sanjaya like this from anyone, and you who don't even know him. Stop making up lies. Sanjaya is an amazing person. He would never do something like that. Shymalli wouldn't either! They are both great people, and they have amazing talent, and will get extremely far in their career. This is because the only people who are going to believe any of the lies you say about him, are going to be the people who didn't like him already. All of his millions of awesome dedicated Fanjayas, are never going to listen to a word you say.
Sanjaya is not gay!!!! So everyone get over it okay!!!
And just so everyone is clear, that picture was taken in october at the Really Awards, where he did an amazing job. NOT at the super bowl, where I am 100% positive he also did an amazing job!
This is all just lies, and I don't believe everything I hear. And I will NEVER believe anything this horrible about Sanjaya or his sister Shymalli. Because, well, its not true. He would never do anything like that and neither would she!

Stay strong Sanjaya and Shymalli!!!!
Stay strong Fanjayas and recognize how stupid this whole lie is!!!

FANJAYA FOREVER BABY!!!!!!
Sanjaya is on FIY AH!!!!!
