Surprise! Surprise!

Sanjaya Malakar was finally voted off American Idol last night.

The teen with the cute face, the-not-so-great singing voice, and fabulous hair hung in there for weeks with support from shock jock Howard Stern, and the website VotefortheWorst.com, which was driving voters to keep Sanjaya singing on Idol to keep the show interesting.

Then there were the teenyboppers around the country and world who had the hots for the lanky, very sweet, but not so-great-a-singer, Sanjaya.

He kept millions of viewers -- and tons of women, one of them me -- riveted to American Idol for weeks, getting far more attention that the folks with truly fabulous singing voices.

Could it be Las Vegas is next? This town is filled with talented stars, but there is always room for a guy with great hair and smile who has a following. Watch out Wayne Newton!
