Sanjaya Malakar's mom, 41 year old Jillain Blyth, could be in trouble after this photo of her was taken at a Hollywood party in March. In this photo, obtained by the National Enquirer, she appears to be holding a "hookah pipe" and a lighter.
In the shot, obtained by the National Enquirer, the 41-year-old Blyth could be in more trouble if this picture suggests that "she's continuing to break the law," especially because, says the paper, she was sentenced under 12 months of "community supervision" as part of her felony conviction on drug charges in 2005 that required her to be drug-free.
In related news, Sanjaya and his mother have returned to their hometown of Federal Way, Washington, but did not exactly receive a warm welcome:
City officials in Federal Way, Wash. - a suburb of Seattle - won't give the "American Idol" phenomenon his own day or a parade - or even a cardboard key to the city.
"Federal Way has more important things to deal with, and unless a council member tried to push through a proclamation, then that 'Idol' wannabe should not expect a similar honor," town manager Neal Beets told a local TV station just before Malakar, 17, was voted off "Idol."
