Sanjaya Doesn't Play Fair

Posted Jun 2nd 2008 12:48PM by TMZ Staff

Sanjaya is trying to gouge poor, unsuspecting country fair folk.

The scene of the crime: The Richmond County Fair. They asked the hair-brained reject to sing. He demanded $8,000.

We're told at the same fair last year, Kimberly Caldwell and Paris Bennett raked in less than $5,000 -- and that's for the package.

So how do we know this? Fair officials called TMZ to ask if eight grand for Sanjaya was fair. We declined to comment on the phone.

Eight - grand is insane!

46. You people are mean. I love Sanjaya. He is sweet and sincere. So what if he cant sing? Neither can a LOT of people who are supposed singers today but have great chorus and computerized music. He tried as best he could and took a lot of crap from rude and insensitive people. I respect that in him. Before you accuse others, take a look at yourself.
