cracjgead idol winner

"Former "American Idol" contender Paris Bennett has given birth to her first child.

The 19-year-old -- who competed in the fifth season of the TV singing competition -- gave birth to a girl, named Egypt, on Monday.

Bennett tells People.com, "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.'"

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - David Archuleta, the cutie-pie runner-up from last season's "American Idol" has signed with Azoff Management. That could be good news for the singer's career, as Azoff has launched several careers including The Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Neil Diamond and Morrissey.

Celebrity News Service was pleased to learn that Archuleta's career will be in capable hands. Azoff's Jared Paul will be managing Archuleta, and he also steers the careers of Nick Lachey and New Kids on the Block.

Archuleta's dad, Jeff, has reportedly been a difficult stage dad but will now co-manage his son's career. Hopefully with the new management Archuleta's career will take off, just like his first song "Crush" has.

19 Entertainment gets first dibs on "Idol" finalists for management, but the company apparently passed on Archuleta -- no word on why that happened. They did sign last year's "Idol" winner David Cook.

Archuleta does remain on the 19 Recordings roster, and the company is reportedly intimately involved in overseeing his first album, which is due out November 11. (Cook's debut drops a week later.)

Celebrity News Service is hoping for good things for young David, because as "Idol" judge Paula Abdul said, he is so cute we just want to pinch his head off and hang it from our rearview mirror. Well, let's not go that far -- but we do think the kid can sing.
