Sanjaya Wants to Be LonelyGirl15 Really, Really Badly

Worse than watching the fall of a child star is watching the fall of a dirt clod that tried really, really hard to be a star but failed to make it past orbit.

In a video leaked to Defamer Sanjaya smugly divulges his true identity: that of Bill Vendall, an RISD student who adopted the Lamest Persona Ever for a thesis project.

Reality Blurred highlights one of the better quotes from his grand confession: “How you could look at this … and not see it as a symbol for the self-referencing nature of progressive evolution?”

Well, at least we know Sanjaya’s all-consuming power to embarrass wasn’t just the result of the stage lighting.
