Titillating American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee isn't the only Season 5 also-ran who's got a new album coming out. Remember little Paris Bennett? The squeaky-voiced teen with the big grown-up pipes? She's back... with hardcore hip hop news that could shake up your very Idol beliefs.

Boobalicious Katharine has gotten a lot of exposure this week with cleavage-baring appearances at the Golden Globes photo ops (above), the first radio play of her new single and a guest spot on the Lonelygirl15 webisode series.

While the stacked Kat distances herself from her Idol days, 18-year-old Paris is embracing them on her new album-- even including a duet with another baby Idol wannabe, Lisa Tucker. But the bigger news is that the little girl who made such an impression with her jazz and R&B stylings is also including a song that features a guest rapper.

The East Coast rapper is another American Idol favorite from last season:

It's Chicken Little!

"What people don't know is that he can rap," Paris said of the spunky Kevin Covais, pride of Levittown, Long Island. She told MTV: "He loves Kanye West. He'd rap whole songs. He used to freestyle backstage. I was like, 'I have to do that on my album.' "

Paris says the disc's sounds will include "everything you saw me do on American Idol, from the rock to the jazz to the R&B. I am a versatile child."

And large-lunged Katharine is showing off her versatility, too. Her new album hits the racks on January 30th. And though she's sought and received attention to the upper half of her body, the album cover focuses on an area more recently associated with Britney Spears. Check it out here.

Horrible horrible album concept.

and I'm starting to warm up to Tabloid Baby because of his blatant McPhee boob posts and how it will annoy all the whiners...
