American Idol

The crappiest Idol performer since forever may think his fame is a lot bigger than his crazazy Mohawk.

After seeing our recent story, organizers of the Plymouth Rox Summer Fest are scrambling to contact Sanjaya to join their show. There's one problem. The obviously tone deaf organizers are having a hard time getting Sanjaya to return their calls! Divatude!

Sanjaya must be too busy washing those 15 minutes out of his hair.

Nigel Lythgoe, the guy who produces "American Idol" and judges on "So You Think You Can Dance," was out enjoying his birthday, planning on a festive night at Crown. His boy Ryan Seacrest even arranged a table for him. Unfortunately the Josh-Hartnett-look-alike doorman apparently didn't get the memo, and Nigel was denied. The nerve!

And in the insult-to-injury department, Alli Sims made it through.

Kat McPhee and Jordin Sparks are performing at the big Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular.

Taylor Hicks is doing "A Capital Fourth" on PBS.

And Ace Young is doing the 18th Annual Pigeon Forge Patriot Festival in Tennessee -- where he is the fourth billed act behind Boys Like Girls, Good Charlotte and Metro Station.

And you thought Taylor Hicks' career was in the crapper!

Shaun Barrowes, a top 48 contestant on this season's "American Idol," is begging for a loan online. He's asking for $10,000 "to market a product I've already spent $70,000 on." Where do we sign?

Barrowes feels he's a good candidate for a loan and says, "The only reason why I need this money is because I was on American Idol for FIVE months without any income at all, and that set me back a little."

While the unborn is due next month, if you were carrying Aiken's artificially inseminated, illegitimate, platonic love child -- would you want it to show?

Judging by his melisma-plagued rendition of "I Believe I Can Fly," it's clear he has a future back in stripping.

Hollywood's biggest tipper may also be Hollywood's best dinner date -- because he had to pay up after Randy Jackson left him with the bill!

The Aussie wannabeen was pulled out of the crowd and onto the stage at a Dan Band concert (the foulmouthed wedding singers from "Old School"), and finally gave a performance worth watching.

At least he's not in a balloon festival yet ...

Guess David Archuleta won't have to worry too much about that prom next year -- because he won't be going to Murray High!

David withdrew from school during his run through "American Idol." School officials tell TMZ David hasn't re-signed up for his senior year, which starts on August 25.

He'll be out on the road on the "AI" tour until September. Our sources tell us he is ditching Murray to do the home school thing (as in home with Daddy Dearest Jeff ) so he can work on his new album.

Vonzell Solomon has released a ridiculous statement about airport security finding a gun in her bag at a Florida Airport.

"I in no way intended to enter the plane with a firearm. I was rushing to make a scheduled flight and simply did not realize it was in my handbag until I went through security." Dontcha hate when that happens?

While most of us are struggling to pack 3 oz. of liquid, Baby V has a Glock in her clutch.

The hits just keep on coming for "American Idol" finalist Baby V.

Now the Bank of New York is foreclosing on Vonzell Solomon's Florida home. The house is toast -- i.e., on the auction block -- on June 16. This is the same "AI" wannabe that was busted Tuesday in a Florida airport for trying to board a plane carrying a gun. Rough coupla days!

Of course, she could be playing the local Wild Wings.
