Sanjaya Malakar and his family are relocating to Hollywood from Seattle, according to People.com.

Sixth-season American Idol star Sanjaya Malakar, 17, who made as much noise with his hair styles and he did with his vocal pipes, is leaving the five-bedroom, one-bathroom split-level that he grew up in with his singing sister Shyamali and his parents, Vasudeva and Jillian, who are asking $360,000 for the residence, reports the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

It’s about time we  heard from Sanjaya. He has been on the American Idol tour all summer long. I am surprised we haven’t been bombarded with You Tube clips of his performances or at least his hair.

As reported last week, Sanjaya Malakar’s mom was arrested for growing over 300 marijuana plants in her home.  Now TMZ and The National Enquirer have this photo of Sannie’s mom, Jillian Blith, at a Hollywood party taking a hit from a bong.

In the shot, obtained by the National Enquirer, the Momjaya appears to be holding what is euphemistically called a hookah pipe and a lighter. According to a source cited by the 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.

On the other hand, says the Enquirer, her legal case was officially closed last year, and as a result, everything might be totally mellow for Blyth.

It looks like the Momjaya is quickly working on joining the All-Star Weed team that includes Willie Nelson, Bob Marley, Ricky Williams, Whitney Houston, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.

Don’t forget that it was Sanjaya’s sister Shymalia (remember her naked with the guitar?) who ratted their mom out that led to her arrest.

Sanjaya Malakar, of American Idol, fame has reason to often be happy if he tokes as often as his momma.  TMZ has learned that Sanjaya’s mom, Jillian Blith, was arrested in 2005 for growing over 300 marijuana plants.  Can you guess who ratted her out? Well that would be Sanjaya’s sister, Shyamali (you know the Hooters girl).

The Momjaya was pinched by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department in February 2005 in Pierce County, Wash. after they found 310 marijuana plants — and the Sis-jaya keeping watch with a bag of weed and “smoking devices” — in the Malakar family garage, as the National Enquirer first smoked out today.

But — buzzkill — Shyamali, who was arrested for possession, directed the cops to another green-growing facility nearby, where they arrested Blith and her husband, Charles Quist (Sanjaya’s stepdad). Quist’s mugshot, obtained by TMZ, bears a striking resemblance to Gary Sinise, a very blitzed Gary Sinise. (We’re told there’s a mugshot of Shyamali, but it can’t be made public because she was only 17 at the time of the bust.)

Poor Sanjaya’s life or that of his family will never be the same.  Sanjaya has looked very mature and intelligent in his 3,452 interviews during the past week.

Sanjaya Malakar has been making more rounds on the talk shows than a NASCAR driver on Sunday afternoon. Last night Mr. Malakar was on The Tonight Show with David Letterman. He gave Dave his top ten list of ‘The 10 Things I Learned on American Idol‘.
