Previews for Sanjaya's upcoming EP "Dancing to the Music in my Head" are up on Amazon.com. A book with the same title will be released with the album on January 20. There seem to be a lot of new age and world music influences in his album. We were kind of hoping for something a little more fun though too to go with it. Good for Sanjaya for getting something out there, but we'd also like to see one song called "Ponyhawk" or something. You know everyone wants to hear that one.

Last night on CSI, there was a parody of American Idol. And in one scene, a character whose names rhymes with Sanjaya is talked about and no one knows why this person is still in the competition. And of course, it's alluded that a Vote for the Worst presence is at work. Thanks for the parody, CSI. Very funny!

Sanjaya was on the Ed Lover radio show to promote his new Nationwide commercial. Fast forward to 5:14 to see what Sanjaya thinks of VFTW (it's no shock, we're awesome and all that). Keep up the good work, Sanjaya!

Sanjaya's Nationwide ad is here! Check it out on Nationwide's website. They also have this thing at Sanjaya-ize.com where you can upload a photo and give yourself some of Sanjaya's most infamous haircuts. Pretty damn cool. At least one insurance, banking, and investment website cares about the most awesome celebrity in the last 10 years. The other companies just have... a gecco. Maybe they should be lamer and have Katharine McPhee sing their theme song. Either way, Sanjaya is back and we couldn't be happier for him.

People.com has an exclusive sneak peak at Sanjaya's new Nationwide commercial, debuting tomorrow. And of course, we'll have it here for you so we can applaud our favorite Papaya in his new gig.

Here is a video of Sanjaya's new song performed at the Mohegan Sun, we think it's called "You Will Never Find a Guy Like Me". It's a stark contrast from Gaspy's asexual tendencies, as Sanjaya is a mere year older and is talking about bedding some chick. Good for Sanjaya! Here's a link to another original, "What Happens When We Wake Up". Go on with your bad self, Sanjaya.
P.S. Expect this on Perez Hilton's website soon without any credit to us. You're welcome, fatty.

To celebrate the fact that Nigel Lythgoe has quit his job on American Idol, we put together a tribute video that features many awesome moments in the first four years of Vote for the Worst. See if you recognize everyone in the video, and if not, read up on some VFTW history. It's good stuff. Enjoy, and here's to many more years of VFTW victories (that just happen to now be Nigel-free)!

Sanjaya joined Stevie Wonder on stage at Stevie's Auburn, WA concert. Yay for Sanjaya! And he sounds good (from what we can tell, the video and audio quality are really low on this video). This must have been huge for Sanjaya, so hopefully he had a great time. In other news, jealous Sanjaya hater Blake Lewis is serving Big Macs at McDonalds.
