Sanjaya wants to be an actor and a model too.

NEW YORK — Sanjaya Malakar is so famous, he can't walk anywhere without getting noticed. "It's really weird. I mean, I'm just Sanjaya from Seattle," the 17-year-old "American Idol" cast-off said Monday on "Live With Regis and Kelly."

"It's paparazzi (who) get at you," he said, "and fans come up and try to give you hugs and get autographs. I would love to just be able to hug everyone and give autographs and take pictures, but you can't."

Malakar was voted off the Fox talent competition last week after a long and unlikely run in which he outlasted better singers and captivated millions of TV viewers with his goofy charm and ever-changing hairdos.

He wants to be a triple threat: singer, actor and model.

"Like, I really, what I want to do is experience the whole entertainment business because, I mean, I'm not just a musician, I'm an entertainer," Malakar said.

Fresh off "American Idol," the lanky teen/media It Boy is in demand. Another stop on his post-show publicity tour was David Letterman's "Late Show" on CBS, where Malakar was to read the "Top Ten" list Monday night.

On Saturday, he attended a White House correspondents' dinner in Washington as a guest of People magazine.

"It was really weird because the governor of New York came up to me and said, `I'm a fan, I vote,'" Malakar said.

"That's fantastic," said Kelly Ripa, co-host of the syndicated daytime talk show.

"It was really weird," Malakar said.

"Bono Idol
The U2 front man joins Gwen Stefani, Jack Black and more for an American Idol fundraising special.
by IGN Staff



April 23, 2007 - From FOX: As part of his ongoing efforts to fight AIDS and poverty in Africa, U2's Bono will participate in the Idol Gives Back fundraising special airing Wednesday, April 25 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. The two-night special begins airing Tuesday April 24 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).

The Irish singer will meet with the six American Idol finalists to talk about the work of ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History (www.one.org) and how the Idol audience can help. The Idol contestants also will perform "American Prayer," a song written by Bono and Dave Stewart about the AIDS emergency in Africa.

Bono joins an illustrious group of celebrity participants on the special, including Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Earth, Wind & Fire, Il Divo, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Josh Groban with the African Children's Choir, Jack Black, Helen Mirren, Rascal Flatts, Quincy Jones, Carrie Underwood, Annie Lennox and many more.

Idol Gives Back will raise awareness and funds for Charity Projects Entertainment Fund (CPEF) and other organizations that provide relief programs to help children and young people in extreme poverty in America and Africa. Corporate sponsors of IDOL GIVES BACK are led by News Corporation, Ford, Coca-Cola and AT&T. Allstate and ExxonMobil will make matching contributions to Save the Children and Malaria No More, respectively, via CPEF.

On the performance show Tuesday, April 24 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), the Top 6 finalists will sing "life anthem" songs of compassion and hope, in keeping with the Idol Gives Back theme. After the show, viewers will vote for their favorite singers via toll-free numbers and text messages, as usual, and corporate sponsors will donate money to the charity.

The special two-hour results show Wednesday, April 25 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) will be a star-studded evening featuring live performances from the American Idol stage as well as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, where Ellen DeGeneres will serve as host. Viewers will be able to make their own donations via toll-free pledge lines and the Internet. Ford will contribute generously by producing a very special music video that will air on Wednesday night. This video, as well as other music segments from the night, will be available for download after the show. Proceeds from the money generated will be contributed to Idol Gives Back."
 
I have spoilers in regards to the song choices. I won't post, but you can PM me if you'd like :shh:


Also:

"The performance show was taped Monday evening due to time constraints with the results show performances."


Spoilers mention that Ryan said that Bono mentored the kids this week, but there were no clips during the show. We’ll probably see that stuff during the special on Wednesday. The show does feature clips from Africa and America interspersed with the kid’s performances.

Another rumor, this one is about the duet :shifty:

There is a rumor that the “special duet” between “two of the biggest stars in musical history” that Ryan mentioned on Wednesday’s results show will be Celine Dion duetting with Elvis Presley. An Elvis impersonator will play the on-stage part of Elvis. Eep. And the Idols will sing back up. The performance, has apparently already been taped


:whistle:

from mjsbigblog:
ETA: Kirsten just posted this blog from Access Hollywood in comments. It contains a very detailed account of tonight’s show. A couple of interesting tidbits not mentioned anywhere yet:

News Corp which owns the Fox Network will donate 10 cents per call up to 50 million votes tonight for a total of $5 million.
Carrie Underwood will perform “I’ll Stand By You” from Africa on tomorrow night’s special. A group of celebrities will sing “Stayin Alive” including Teri Hatcher, Gwyneth Paltrow and Hugh Grant.

Phil is still scary looking :reject:. At first I thought it was the baldness, but now I think it might be the eyebrows :hmm:.

I :heart: nice, man of the people Simon. I know I'm being manipulated, but :shrug:.

:reject:.


I didn't really go "wow" over anyone tonight :|

To paraphrase Randy, it was just "ai'ight" to me. Is that how you spell Randy's version "ai'ight". I'm not really up on the spelling of Randy's various lingo.

Good show tonight! Lot of great performances! I even liked Chris, surprise surprise. :wink: Jordin was absolutely stunning! Probably best of this season so far. :ohmy:
 
Kelly I think it's actually spelled "a'ight" or at least that's how I spell it when typing :)

Ya Chris was pretty good tonight, I don't like him but he was OK. I'm guessing a 2nd trip to the bottom 3 for LaKisha & Blake tomorrow...man what the hell happened to LaKisha anyway?
 
I don't think anybody was horrible tonight. I actually think that was a great song choice for Chris, and I like the way he sang it. I liked Lakisha least; I agree with the judges that that wasn't a good song choice for her.

Blake picked a hard song--Imagine is a very simple, beautiful song, but it's one that's hard to personalize. While Blake did the song justice, it wasn't really a memorable performance, and that could hurt him.

I don't usually vote, but I'm going to tonight since the votes are raising money for charity.
 
Who will get the votes from Sanjaya's fan base? They could be the swing factor in a close race. I'd guess Blake and Chris, based on looks more than singing ability. It'd be nice if they voted for Jordin, though, since she's a teenager (just like them!) but is also the one to beat right now, I think.

Click to expand...

Simon was correct when he said that Jordan's song was nearly 60 years old....

We sang it at my 8th grade graduation...1965...
