Despite rumors to the contrary, Holly Montag and Sanjaya Malakar are not dating.  I know that when I watched them on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here they seemed awfully touchy-feely but that was in the jungle.  Sometimes things don’t feel the same in a real-life setting and maybe that’s the case for these two. 
Holly was at the Sports Dream Celebrity Poker pool party this weekend and she told Us magazine the following:  "We are not dating but just very close…
It was funny. I was shocked because we were such close friends, and I had …read more

Did you watch I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here last night?  I won’t even deny that I obviously watched it because I’m a sucker for lame reality TV shows and I have to say that it really held some surprises for me. 
The first thing that shocked me was how down-to-earth, willing to work and knowledgeable former supermodel, Janice Dickinson is.  I had no idea she was as tough as she is and I really gained some respect for her.  She also looks a LOT better without all that makeup on even though her plastic surgery is …read more

If you love Sanjaya Malakar (or just enjoy watching “celebrities” get mildly tortured), you might want to tune in to the two-hour premiere of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here tonight. The show (which takes place in Costa Rica) will run from Monday through Thursday until the week of the finale (Wednesday, June 24).
If you don’t have the time to watch the shows and also don’t have a DVR, don’t worry!  MTV will be airing a marathon of the week’s episodes each Sunday, starting June 7, 2009.
Along with Sanjaya the following celebs have signed on: …read more

Former American Idol finalist, Sanjaya Malakar, has joined the cast of the upcoming season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!  Have you ever watched this show before? I saw the season with Melissa Rivers and Stuttering John and I won’t lie – I secretly loved it. 
It’s an absolutely ridiculous show and, honestly, the celebrities are barely current or noteworthy.  It’s not like they secured Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts for it but I digress…
This season Sanjaya will join newlyweds, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (MTV’s "The Hills"), NBA star and TV personality John Salley ("Best …read more

I just came back from the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios and I had a blast.  I’m thoroughly exhausted but it really was a lot of fun.  Disney really knows how to put on a show and I am extremely grateful to them for the fabulous trip!
I will cover the event in three parts (motorcade, American Idol Experience show and the after-party) over the next three days.  Today, I’ll kick things off by telling you all about the American Idol motorcade. 
The blue carpet was rolled out for …read more

American Idol season 6 finalist, Sanjaya Malakar, was on Good Morning America last Friday.  Did you guys get a chance to see him?  I’m no Sanjaya hater but, I’m sorry, he looks like he could use a makeover.  What do you think? 

He was on the daytime talk show to talk about his new book, “Dancing to the Music in My Head.”  If you’re interested, you can read an excerpt on the Good Morning America website.  I’m not sure if I’m a big enough fan of Sanjaya’s to read (or buy) his book.  Are you going to get it?
Anyway, …read more

The sixth season of American Idol brought us a fantastic Top 12.  It also brought me to this site.  I started blogging on Idol Stalker right around the time the Top 12 was announced that year so, it always brings back fond memories.

What do you remember about that year?  Was it Jordin Sparks’ winning moment?  Blake Lewis’ killer performance of “Shot Through the Heart (You Give Love a Bad Name)”?  Sanjaya’s ponyhawk? 
To help jog your memory, here’s the Top 12 list from the sixth season of American Idol (dates indicate when the contestant was eliminated, year was 2007):

Jordin …read more

A little while ago, I posted a behind-the-scenes look at Sanjaya Malakar’s Nationwide Insurance commercial.  Now we’ve got the finished product (see below).  Do you think it’s a good or a bad thing for Sanjaya’s career to be doing stuff like this?  I like the commercial, I think it’s funny, but do you think it will just lead to people considering him a joke?

Nationwide Insurance actually took American Idol finalist, Sanjaya Malakar, to India to shoot the commercial for their newest “Life Comes at You Fast” ads.  Of course, he’s got crazy hair and must sing.  Sanjaya haters -don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Q. What made you want to star in the new ad for Nationwide?
