Carmen Rasmusen and husband expecting

After the hoopla of the past two weeks surrounding the 17 pregnant girls at Gloucester (Mass.) High School, is it comprehensible that a pact among Idol alums was made to get pregnant together? In an article published merely two days before Season 5's Paris Bennett admitted to being pregnant and engaged, Season 2's sixth-place finalist Carmen Rasmusen tells ReserveBranson.com that she and husband Brad Herbert are expecting a child due around Christmas Eve.

Carmen is currently starring in the "America's Favorite Finalists" show at The Grand Palace in Branson, Mo., with other alums Brandon Rogers (Season 6), Haley Scarnato (Season 6), RJ Helton (Season 1), Scott Savol (Season 4) and Vonzell Solomon.

Carmen told ReserveBranson.com that the most memorable aspect of being on Idol was the fact that she was a role model to many young girls:

“That has meant more to me than any amount of money or fame — to know that maybe I’ve influenced someone in the way that I’ve lived my life. Some people might say they don’t want to be in an example, but like it or not, we are in the spotlight. To me that’s the neatest thing,”

So which Idol alum will be the next to announce that she is with child? For the record, IDOL LIVE's money is on Juanita Barber.
