Well, the latest news is that the desi with the wild hairstyles around has gotten himself in Mad magazine's list of the '20 Dumbest People, Events & Things of 2007'!

Also on the list is US president George W Bush.

Here's what they have to say of the singer, 'We're generally jealous of no-talents who make millions of dollars. But not so with the king of no-talents, Simon Cowell. Cowell reportedly made over $45 million last year as a judge on American Idol. But we think he was underpaid. After all, the poor b****** had to sit through every second of every excruciating, soul-crushing performance of Sanjaya Malakar, the tone-deaf song-smith who suffered perennial bad hair days and, by comparison, made William Hung sound like Josh Groban. We can only pray that we've heard the last of this Michael Jackson wannabe.'

Well, Simon must be feeling vindicated right around now.
