Sanjaya is Gay? Stuff.co.nz

"American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar is, by all accounts, not the most talented performer on the show.
But research firm Nielsen BuzzMetrics says the blogosphere has played a large part in making him the most visible.
According to a BuzzMetrics report, Sanjaya - now referred to by only his first name on many sites - has seen blog references increase 338 per cent from February 18, when he first reached critical mass, to April 8.
Reality TV Magazine is the top blog in Sanjaya traffic, with 40 other blogs linking to its posts on the subject from January 1-April 8.
Many blog conversations about Sanjaya in late March center on the fact that he 'lacks talent' and doesn't deserve to win. Conversations also focus on Howard Stern and VoteForTheWorst.com, two sources that encourage people to skew the votes, suggesting that both have played a large part in keeping him on the air. "
