For reasons I’m not sure of, American Idol loser Sanjaya Malakar attended the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday. Sanjaya rubbed shoulders with celebs Sheryl Crow, Teri Hatcher, and Petra Nemcova, as well as various politicians, who were undoubtedly unimpressed by the reality tv star.
Malakar, 17, was a guest of People, joining fellow celebs Valerie Bertinelli, High School Musical star Zac Efron, Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, comedian Eddie Izzard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Other stars at the event included Sheryl Crow and Laurie David (who had a run-in with Karl Rove), Kerry Washington, and Desperate Housewives stars Hatcher, James Denton and creator Marc Cherry.
The mild-mannered Malakar said he’s just trying to take it all in. “It’s been really a whirlwind. I’ve just been trying to ride the wave and go one day at a time,” said Malakar, wearing a dark pinstriped suit and highlighted, loose curls.
The swooning fans made him “a little uncomfortable,” he admitted. But it’s attention he may have to get used to as he sets his sights on a future beyond music. “I want to go into acting or modeling, maybe Broadway,” said the former Idol, who thinks doing a hair commercial “Would be awesome!”
Perhaps homeboy should just concentrate on not singing like shit before he decides to conquer the acting world.

What does he have to offer the world? Why on EARTH would he be at a Washington event? I have no idea what the hell this idiot has to do with anything.
oh and this quote:
