American Idol Alum Paris Bennett Pregnant & Engaged!

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."

Congratulations to Paris and the anonymous baby daddy. Let's just hope she knows what she's doing!
