To celebrate the fact that Nigel Lythgoe has quit his job on American Idol, we put together a tribute video that features many awesome moments in the first four years of Vote for the Worst. See if you recognize everyone in the video, and if not, read up on some VFTW history. It's good stuff. Enjoy, and here's to many more years of VFTW victories (that just happen to now be Nigel-free)!

Danny Noriega stops by Idol Tonight and gives us the sass we love. This season would have been way better with him in the top 12. Danny does disappoint us by saying that his two favorite contestants were David Cook and David Archuleta (for real?), but he makes up for it by looking at Kim Caldwell like she's a dumb ho and by saying he wouldn't tone down his sass even though the producers wanted him to. Also, Danny apparently is on the outs with Ramiele. Hey, that's no problem with us. She was one of the most boring contestants ever and never brought out the pots and pans, blitches.

Vote for the Worst has raised $2500 for Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society this year, but we'd like to do one more thing to help out. We're starting a charity auction with 6 great items that you can bid on where 100% of the proceeds will go to help the fight against cancer. To bid on the items, simply follow these links over to eBay, and bid generously to help an oustanding cause.

Danny Noriega did a webchat where he let his fans know that he was not invited to the American Idol finale this year. You know, the show he was on. Not only that, he had to track down people to get tickets, only to be told the show was full. Fellow semifinalists Colton Berry and Kady Malloy were also dissed as well. Idol, seriously. What the fuck? Give Danny a ticket to the show. Pulling crap like this just makes people hate you even more. To deny him a ticket is pretty low, but then again, we should expect this from Idol by now. Video highlight: Danny says Idol is full of shit. We know, Danny. We know.

Edited to Add: TMZ has stolen another story from us without crediting us. Come on, TMZ. We always credit you. Reciprocity, friends. Learn it, live it, love it.

The Soup = Love.

Apparently Danny keeps doing some web chats and people keep recording them. Well, he mentioned VFTW and he said he likes us, but that he cried when we were mean to him. Danny, we love you, we're not mean to you! Besides, we focus all of our negative energy on Carly for the most part. By the way, please tell Ramiele to do SOMETHING interesting this week. She's turning into Syesha Borecado part 2.

Even though this video is kind of obnoxious with the constant spinning, we're proud of Danny! He already has a spot on a cruise ship (insert Simon Cowell joke here). But we haven't seen any other semifinalists with jobs already. It's the power of VFTW. Good things come to all Worsters. Congrats on already being the most successful AI7 top 24 contestant so far! He's just TMTH and we love him for it.

The always hilarious folks at The Soup parodied our site this week and showed us just how much Danny "wasn't likin" being voted of Idol. Oh yeah, that stripper guy and the asthmatic kid is in it too. Check it out!
