Governor of New York votes for Sanjaya Malakar · 2007-04-24 11:55
On Saturday, Sanjaya Malakar attended a White House correspondents’ dinner in Washington as a guest of People magazine.
“It was really weird because the governor of New York came up to me and said, `I’m a fan, I vote,’” Malakar said.
He wants to be a triple threat: singer, actor and model, AP news agency reported.
“Like, I really — what I want to do is experience the whole entertainment business because, I mean, I’m not just a musician, I’m an entertainer,” Malakar said.
The new star is surprised by attention. “It’s really weird. I mean, I’m just Sanjaya from Seattle,” the 17-year-old “American Idol” cast-off said Monday on “Live With Regis and Kelly.”
“It’s paparazzi (who) get at you,” he said, “and fans come up and try to give you hugs and get autographs. I would love to just be able to hug everyone and give autographs and take pictures, but you can’t.”
