As we dry our tears, lick our wounds, and fashion as much of a ponyhawk as we can from our limited hair growth, we present to you a farewell to Sanjaya round-up:
· 28.2 million tuned in to watch Sanjaya tumble like an overturned bag of scrunchies into LaKisha's comforting bosom, unaware of the bright future that lies ahead as the world's most recognizable cosmetics and haircare endorser. [THR]
· 2007's all-new, non-slurring, tell-it-like-it-is model of Paula Abdul shows little signs of waterworks when she's asked about Sanjaya's future signing autographs last night outside Mr. Chow's. [TMZ]
· Exclusive! Sanjaya's (fake) Netflix queue offers a fascinating glimpse inside his rainbows-n'-unicorns-filled imagination. [DVD Dossier]

· What you didn't see at home: After first being told he was in the bottom three, Sanjaya (who had been in that group many times before) started sobbing, and was virtually inconsolable despite the efforts of his fellow contestants during the break. Also, during the montage, Debbie the stage manager had to physically extract him from LaKisha's comforting embrace. [LAT]
· "Sayonara, Sanjaya" is the overwhelming headline phrasing of choice. [BusinessWeek] [AP]
· VoteForTheWorst.com, the forerunners of all things Sanjaya, bid a fond farewell to their "VFTW king," and open the discussion boards to suggestions for who should be their next nominee. (We choose upper-lip-deficient beatboxing tool Blake, whose priceless look of desperation after learning he was on the chopping block definitely made up for sitting through that interminable Shrek ad.)

· Rupert Murdoch may be taking the news hardest of all, but is still considering signing on the fallen Idol for a TV special timed to coincide with his debut CD release, "If I Won It, Here's What My Album Would Have Sounded Like." [BloggingStocks]
