Former American Idol Paris Bennett: Engaged and Pregnant
19-year-old American Idol alum Paris Bennett is engaged —and pregnant.
The season five finalist — who made it to the top five in 2006 and earned the nickname "Princess P" from fans — announced the news on her MySpace page.
"Yes, I'm engaged and with child; a girl and her name will be Egypt," Bennett wrote. "She will be here in October just before the holiday album."
Bennett's mother, Jamecia, also confirmed the news to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
"She has a ring," said Jamecia, who said the father "chooses not to be in the public eye.
"I'm proud of how she did it," Jamecia added. "I was 16 when I got pregnant."
Jamecia told the paper that Queen Latifah has already sent her well-wishes and may attend the August baby shower.
"You're the princess, but I'm the Queen," Bennett says Latifah told her daughter.

Nice how the father doesn't want to be in the public eye - I haven't seen Paris in that same public eye for ages.

Neither do I. I guess she thinks 19 is so old to be having a baby.

Its guss she's saying she is proud paris waited until 19, unlike herself who got pregnant at 16.
The family likes to seem to name its kids after places.
