The war in Iraq and Sanjaya Malakar.

These are pretty much the two most debated topics in the country right now. With that in mind, let’s hear what certain celebrities have to say about this American Idol hopeful:

Mary J. Blige: I don’t think he’s horrible, but everybody’s making it where he’s just horrible. I’ve heard worse.

Diana DeGarmo: I believe more power to him. If he can do it, go for it.

Joel Madden: I’m hoping he wins because Howard Stern has been trying to get him votes, and I love Howard.

Kevin Nealon: I’m not a ‘Fanjaya,’ but I like that he’s still in there. It’s fun seeing how long Sanjaya will stay.

Haylie Duff: I’ve only seen his hairdos. I’ve never heard him sing.

Kevin Bacon: Young kids like him because he’s so fresh-faced and open. That’s the appeal, I think. American Idol is for people to have fun, to be entertained. You can’t take it too seriously.

Adam Goldberg: Just because it’s a train wreck, I’d like to see Sanjaya win to see if there’s some crazy revolution that takes place. I think it’s the same reason I watch that show and other shows like it for that matter. I think I — and America in general — just like to hate things. I wish I was above that, but I’m not. So I enjoy things that piss me off.

Rex Lee (Entourage): He’s incredibly entertaining! I love that his hair is different every week. It’s ingenious.
