10/7: Paris Bennett has her baby
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Season five finalist and former Fayetteville resident Paris Bennett had her baby Egypt at 4:36 p.m. Monday. The baby weighed 5 pounds 15 ounces, according to a press release. Paris and Egypt are both doing fine.
Paris, 20, said in the release: “I’m so excited to finally see my little angel and man does she have lungs on her I guess she’s gearing up to be the next American Idol.”
Her Christmas album “A Royal Christmas” is due out October 14.
When she came in June for a divas concert at Philips Arena, the baby “bump’ was so noticeable, she had no choice but to announce what was going on (this is taken by Robb Cohen):
I’ll add more “Idol’ news on Tuesday.

10/7: LaKisha Jones married, “Idol Rewind” is back
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Since ajc.com decided to make **LaKisha Jones’s marriage a lead “buzz” item this afternoon, I decided I better post this now. Personally, I don’t get a sense that many people care about Jones compared to even Melinda or Jordin or even Blake. But alas, here’s the news right here..
She’s married some financial advisor in Beverly Hills. And she has an album coming out next year. That’s pretty much it!
-Misty May-Treanor is out of “Dancing With the Stars” with an Achilles tendon break. They’ve never had anybody drop out due to injury mid competition before. At least I can’t remember that happening. Anybody help me on that one? Will this mean they will bring back Kim Kardashian? Was this some nefarious plot from our blogger JTesla to get her back? We shall see…
-I watched the first episode of ‘American Idol Rewind,” finally. I still need to catch the Atlanta auditions featuring Fantasia and Jennfier Hudson, the two most prominent contestants from that season. That aired this past weekend on WATL-TV in the evening. TV Guide Channel airs the Atlanta episode this Friday and in repeats over the weekend. (Watching it on TV Guide Channel is irritating because you have the TV grid eating up 20% of the screen.)
MJ found the schedule for “Idol Rewind,” which airs just 22 episodes and meshes seasons three and four, rather than just one season. Apparently, the editors figured nobody cares about season three that much (the least popular in many people’s minds) so it’s covered in just seven episodes. The top 12 episodes are covered in two hours. The semifinal and Hollywood rounds aren’t even included.
I may speak to season three crooner John Stevens later today and will post something if that happens.
