Forget Britney, Save Sanjaya from New York!

If you visit VH1's 'I Love New York' reality dating show website (where we found the lovely photo to the left) you will see Sanjaya as a contestant. "He" is vying for one of five voter selected contestant slots who will appear on the second season.

For the uninitiated, Tiffany 'New York' Pollard (no relation to Richard Tiffany Gere) is bombastic, ghetto in stilettos. New York's show is her attempt to find love after being rejected twice by Flavor Flav. She was such a hit, VH1 gave her a show.

In the 'I Love New York' season finale, New York picked Patrick 'Tango' Hunter to be her man. He responded by asking for her hand in marriage. She accepted, but he kicked her to the curb on the reunion show, because he found out that she broke bad on his moms.

Imagine what she'd do to Momjaya.

What would Sanjaya do in a house with thugs, ugly pretty boys, and cretins?

New York once had the contestants box one another. 'Mr. Boston', the resident punk-ass, got his nose broken by 'Chance', a street tough...who loves horses so much he named his rap group 'Stallionaires' .

The question remains, is it really Sanjaya? The video looks authentic. So does the quote. TMZ weighs in on it, but is uncertain.

The only problem with believing it's the real Sanjaya?

The casting call for the show requires applicants to be 21+.

His age on the website: 21.

The real Sanjaya is 17.

Is this an attempt by VH1 to lure Sanjaya faithful to a new season of celebreality or, as queerty suggests, folks can't tell Indians apart? Or is Sanjaya committing the equivalent of underage drinking? Maybe VH1 made a 'Sanjaya age exemption'?

I guess we'll find out.

One could dream, though. And if we can't dream? Why bother living?
