Sanjaya Malakar, the Indian-American contestant on 'American Idol', had an obsessed MySpace blogger 'J' who has finally quit her hunger strike after 16 days.

The blogger, who had gone without food for so long as a protest against Sanjaya's continuing appearance on 'American Idol', finally began eating again only because a doctor told her to do so, reports www.hollywood.tv.

She wrote in her blog that she will continue to fight to get Sanjaya booted off the show, but from now on she will do it the same way as everyone else by casting her vote for any contestant other than him.

She also asked those who have gone on hunger strike to stop and to stay tuned for a 'voting strategy' for the coming weeks.
