Sanjaya Malakar is a Party Hopper

American Idol superstar Sanjaya Malakar is already working the publicity machine like a pro!

The 17-year-old Seattle native attended not only the the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night but also rubbed shoulders at an after-party with supermodel Petra Nemcova at the Bloomberg News Gala of the Year.

Mr. Malakar played it cool in a brand new look wearing a conservative suit and new highlights in his oh-so-luscious locks.

Work it, Sanjaya! We love your highlights and peach fuzz!
