Sanjaya Prepares for Retirement

5/27/2008 6:10 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Sanjaya Prepares for Retirement

Hold on to your scrunchie! Despite being on his 16th minute of fame, pony-hawked "Idol" wannabeen Sanjaya Malakar is going Nationwide.

Instead of performing at the opening of an outlet mall or local balloon festival like his fellow "Idol" losers, Sanji followed in the bankrupt footsteps of MC Hammer and Kevin Federline and filmed the latest ad for Nationwide insurance in India today.

The theme of the commercial is about planning for your retirement -- something that happened to Sanjaya the minute he was voted off "A.I."

Sanjaya is entertaining to say the least, more so than the skanks you want to throw in our faces day in and day out and I would much rather watch him lip-synch than anyone else out there doing it now, I'm sure he will do just as good but more likely he will be better, much better.

The kid is cute and seems to be doing fine. I'm kinda wondering how many of your "staff" tried out for AI and got rejected judging from the "loser" comments you make about former Idol contestants. Sour grapes, perhaps?
