'American Idol:' Paul McDonald OK With Elimination, Officially Dating Nikki Reed

Filed under: American IdolMany of us were sad to see Paul McDonald, one of the more dynamic contestants this season, go last night, but don't worry about Paul -- he's just fine.

In a conference call with the press this afternoon, Paul expressed his gratitude for making it to the Top 8 in a competition he tried out for on a whim.

"It was kinda one of those things that I fell into," McDonald told the press. "I happened to be in town and it was five minutes down the street and a friend talked me into it. I did it for fun. It had never been my dream to win 'American Idol' or anything like that." Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
