Knocked Up: American Idol Finalist Paris Bennett, 19, Will Have Her Own Princess
Princess P, aka Paris Bennett, is expecting a baby girl come October and is planning to name her Egypt. The season five 'American Idol' contestant is the 19-year-old granddaughter of R&B/Gospel singer Ann Nesby.
Paris' mother Jamecia, was mum on who the child's father is. "He chooses not to be in the public eye," she offered. "I respect that." She also wouldn't divulge was he does for a living. "I can't tell," she said.
Reports are that the diminutive singer with the big voice is also engaged to the unidentified baby's daddy. "She has a ring," said Jamecia, who's hopeful that she'll be planning a wedding for daughter. She herself was 16 when she got pregnant.
She's expecting a celebrity-filled soiree when the baby shower takes place in August.
Celebrities like Queen Latifah are supposed to show.
"Latifah has made it clear that she plans to spoil this baby with gifts and that she won't be stopped. You're the princess but I'm the queen," Jamecia said Latifah told Paris .
Paris was a fifth place finalist on 'American Idol' the year Taylor Hicks won. Neither seems to be taking the music industry by storm, although Paris was slated to release a new CD later this year.
Plans to unveil the record have been postponed, however, because of the pregnancy.
