{alltv} American Idol's Chris Sligh Welcomes Daughter Keira Lennon

 

It's a girl for American Idol finalist Chris Sligh and wife Sarah!

The couple welcomed their first child on Sunday, Oct. 31 at a Nashville-area hospital, his rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. Two weeks past her due date, Keira Lennon Sligh was born at 6:06 a.m., weighing 7 lbs., 12 oz. and is 21.5 inches long.

"She's well worth the wait," says Sligh, who moved with Sarah, 29, to Nashville after placing in Idol's top 10 in 2007.

"Keira is the most beautiful thing we have ever seen and we are just thrilled that she arrived happy and healthy."

Sligh, 32, says Keira was the only girl's name he and his wife could agree on, while Lennon was a nod to the Beatles. "I'm a Beatles fan," he says. "Luckily I managed to negotiate a Beatle into my child's name."

Sligh, who charmed Idol fans with his wit — he once joked of his physique, "I'm bringing chubby back" — as well as his voice, released his second Christian album, The Anatomy of Broken, in September and co-wrote the Rascal Flatts hit "Here Comes Goodbye," which went to No. 1 in 2009.

Is LeAnn Rimes engaged?

Judging from her Twitter feed, the singer wants people to think she is.

In a picture Tweeted by live-in boyfriend Eddie Cibrian – then re-Tweeted by Rimes – the actor kneels in front of a sign that reads White Chapel Lunatic Asylum. Add to that, the fact that Cibrian is holding Rimes's right hand in his as she covers her mouth in excited shock.

Turns out, the stunt was more "trick" than treat.

"They are not engaged," says a source close to Rimes. "It was just part of the Halloween fun."

{alltv} 'I Was Raped With My Clothes On,' Says Woman Suing KISS Rocker Gene Simmons For Dry Hump

 

The ESPN makeup artist who claims rocker Gene Simmons ground his groin into her has testified that she feels "like I was raped with my clothes on."

Read Deposition Here

Simmons filed a preemptive lawsuit against Victoria Jackson in May, insisting he couldn't have sexually assaulted her at ESPN's Los Angeles studios after appearing on "Sportscenter" because he was wearing his KISS costume - "the equivalent of a suit of armor" - at the time.

But Jackson has herself sued Simmons.

And asked in an August 10 deposition to describe the emotional injuries she's alleging, the woman replied: "Emotionally, an overwhelming sense of sadness, nervousness, anxiety, a lot of shame and - just I feel like - I feel like I was raped with my clothes on."

Under questioning by Simmons's lawyer, Jackson also said the alleged November 24, 2009 assault  affected her sleep.

"I had a sense of somebody just taking something from me," she continued.

"Just a violation, a complete and utter violation, a disrespect for me and my body, myself as a  - as a human being."

Excerpts from the deposition were attached as an exhibit to a motion in which Simmons has asked a judge to compel Jackson to be examined by a psychologist.

His lawyer argues that she has made her mental health a relevant issue by claiming damages for emotional distress.

In court papers, Jackson says nothing in her allegations requires a mental health examination by an expert and that Simmons's request is a "cynical tactic" and "simply one more attempt to be [as] intrusive as possible in order to harass and intimidate [her]."

She testified in her deposition that she saw a psychotherapist in 2007 but "It wasn't anything that serious."

Simmons has accused Jackson of "shakedown tactics" but Jackson alleged in her assault suit that he approached her, said "I like you" in "a lecherous and inappropriate manner," and then "humped Plaintiff to the extent that she could feel his groin grinding into her. When he was done, Klein said[,] 'Aw, that's better! Now you can go.'"

According to a recent court filing by Jackson, another ESPN employee has confirmed her allegations, testifying in a deposition that Simmons "entered the room in which Jackson was working, made a bee line straight for her and then started humping her."

Simmons said in his deposition, the court document states, that he does not recall "hugging or even meeting Ms. Jackson ... Simmons['] only defense is that 'I would never do such a thing.'"

A hearing on the motion to compel the mental health exam is set for Nov. 3 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
