" Yes, it&amp;#039;s true \u2014 raspy-voiced American Idol heartthrob Paul McDonald was voted off the competition last night. (Cue the tears!) But don&amp;#039;t worry, he&amp;#039;s sure his fans will see him again, now that he has time to focus on his other talents, including his band, Grand Magnolias, and the piano. Whichever direction Paul chooses to go, he won&amp;#039;t be alone. After all the gossip about him and Twilight&amp;#039;s Nikki Reed, they both openly admitted... they&amp;#039;re dating! &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s officially true,&amp;quot; says Paul. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve been hanging out, here and there... [W]e&amp;#039;re both pretty busy, but it&amp;#039;s been fun so far.&amp;quot;  What did Nikki have to say about his departure from the show? &amp;quot;She is actually pumped,&amp;quot; Paul said. &amp;quot;She said, &amp;#039;Dude, you finally get to do your thing and be yourself and be the artist you are.&amp;#039; She is happy about the whole situation.&amp;quot; Not too sure fans agree just yet, but maybe they will \u2014 after a solo album! Who do you think should have been kicked off AI? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
