Antoria Gillan really, really wants to be on American Idol. At nine months pregnant, she was auditioning for the show in Dallas earlier this week. Maybe it was all that standing around that contestants have to do... but Antoria went into labor just before it was her turn to sing for the judges. Amazingly, she ignored the contractions and sang her heart out. Then she went directly to the hospital and gave birth to a baby boy she named Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan. He weighed in at 6 pounds, 7 ounces.

First of all: good for her for incorporating her unique labor experience into his name in a tasteful way. Second of all: you go girl! Apparently it was worth the pain and suffering, because Antoria got the go-ahead to Hollywood! I'm sure Fox got it all on camera, so expect to see Antoria and baby Jamil next January during auditions highlights.

:lol: :lol: "Oh, my nose!" (Or as Paula would probably say, "Ooohh, yeah you just popped out that pwetty widdel baby yeah and it just, it just flew out and like it bumped into like my nose, yeah, but it was beautiful, you did a beautiful job and you're like so talented and I know this baby will be so talented because it came from you, yeah girl...")

I wonder if they show that one on TV.
