Sanjaya's Out of American Idol. Oh, Happy Day! Filed under ( American Idol, Paula Abdul, Sanjaya Malakar )

By now you must have heard that Sanjaya got kicked off American Idol last night (sorry if you TiVo'd it). One would think that he could at least rely on Paula for some sympathy as the nation rejoices that American Idol is now Sanjaya-free. No such luck.

TMZ talked to Paula after she dined at LA's Mr. Chow last night, where they asked her how she felt about losing Sanjaya. Instead the spouting the usual sugary sweet stuff, Paula just said: "Oh he'll be fine." She also said that now that Sanjaya is gone: "The competition's gonna start getting heavy." I just hope there will be less ponyhawks. Is that too much to ask?
