By WHATEVIA SANTIAGO, AP Awards Show Correpondent – Thurs Jun 16, 11:51 pm ET

Newly engaged Paul McDonald has more than just his fiancee Nikki Reed to celebrate; he's also the winner of 4 Whatevia Awards. The Whatevia Awards take place every year on the Vote for the Worst website to honor and award the entertaining moments that the site's viewers loved but America hated. 

McDonald took home the award for Favorite VFTW Performer, as well as an award for his rose suits in the Favorite VFTW Wardobe Choice category. He was also part of the group that won Best Karaoke Performance by a Duo or Group for "So What" and won his fourth award for outlasting Pia Toscano and causing outrage among American Idol fans. When asked what winning 4 Whatevia Awards meant to him, Paul gave an inspiring acceptance speech that started with, "How y'all doin' this evening?" and then transitioned into incoherent rambling.

Casey Abrams nearly deficated on himself after winning the Favorite Performance by a Lead Karaoke Singer for "Smells Like Teen Spirit," not because he was excited, but because he has ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflamatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine and rectum. The disease affects 50 of every 10,000 people. To celebrate, Abrams and recent girlfriend Haley Reinhart spent 10 minutes growling into a microphone on the stage, causing host Dave Della Terza to give them a standing ovation. "I loved that shit," Della Terza said in a post-show press conference

Other winners included Fantasia's "Collard Greens and Cornbread" in the Favorite American Idol Alumni Train Wreck Song Release category and Taylor Hicks's performance with Steven Colbert in the Favorite American Idol Alumni Moment of the Year.

The return of the Constantine Maroulis Lifetime Acheievement Award of Suck went to overall failure Carly Smithson for losing yet another record deal and making almost no money while perfoming at Idol events. When asked for comment, Smithson rasied her middle finger and started to cry. Smithson's biggest fan, Richard Rushfield, was seen rocking back and forth and muttering to himself shortly after the awards ceremony eneded.

After finding out that she did not win any awards, Haley Reinhart smoked a bowl and said, "Well, that's the breaks, kid. At least I can go back to my job at Hooters. Anyone got any Cheetos?" Two-time nominee Rachel Zevita was spotted at the Naima Adedapo after party asking how she could've lost after she wore a cape on stage. Adedapo lamented, saying. "I know, girl. I screamed 'Boom fire!' and danced like I was having a seizure. I guess American Idol really is biased toward guys."

I think the Constantine Maroulis Lifetime Acheievement Award of Suck should've gone to Fantasia. Collard Greens and Cornbread? Why don't we start singing about broke pick-up trucks and dead dogs? Oh, that's right, that what our new American Idol is for.drevil

Eh, I never got the appeal of Paul as the pick. I was torn up about Brett Lowenstein not making it in though. He was just...gold.

That awards show recap just wrote itself, didn't it?! Nicely done Whatevia Santiago! Shows how truly VFTW this season was. I can't wait for more fun with X Factor in the fall.

Perusing the columns, I thought ( Under #8 VFTW Alumni Moment)- is there something about the surname Lambert that causes one to be a MASSIVE attention whore?Laugh And, ALEX is a nauseating media darling. His last PR stunt in January was covered by EVERY major media bureau from Reuters on down:(
