Idol's Paris Welcomes Daughter

Paris Bennett, American Idol FOX

Hollywood's other Paris has just birthed un bébé.

Former American Idol contestant Paris Bennett welcomed a daughter Monday afternoon, apparently consulting her family's Rand McNally guide to baby names and dubbing her firstborn Egypt.

The 20-year-old was in labor for five hours in a Minnesota hospital before delivering the child, who tipped the scales at 5 pounds, 15 ounces.
