So Long, Once-Promising Career!
June 29th, 2008 by Evil Beet
Remember Paris Bennett, the little belter who could from the fifth season of AmIdol? She was only sixteen when she first appeared on the show.
She’s nineteen now, and she’s pregnant.
No, not the married kind of pregnant. Just the pregnant kind of pregnant. She’s due in October, and she plans to name the little girl Egypt. Which is a stupid name but at least little Egypt won’t have to share her name with a trolloppy socialite. So that’s something.
She’s reportedly engaged, but no one will talk about who the guy is or what he does and the whole thing leads me to believe that she met him on Craigslist and the condom broke.
“I’m proud of how she did it. I was 16 when I got pregnant,” says her mother, Jamecia Bennett.
This statement makes my head explode.
What part of it, exactly, makes you proud? The fact that — even though she got knocked up out of wedlock and as a teenager — she held out for three years longer than you did? Are you proud because she was almost not a teen pregnancy statistic? Proud because your teenage daughter is fertile? Proud because she was doing it doggy-style? Proud because she could have had an education and a career and will now have to give up all these things — much like you did — to be a single mother? This is the stupidest statement in the world.
Congrats, Paris.

Oh yes, I’m a sad, sad Ivy-league educated 28 year old blonde with primo dick at home. Boo hoo, poor me.
of course MW of course!
Beet it’s absolutely presumptious for you to assume that she will never get an education or a meaningful career because she got pregnant at 19. You really started some bullshit this time.
