"American Idol" is debuting its 14th season in five days. I have already previewed the show here. Here are some more gossipy items to tide you over:
Georgia's season 11 "American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips gave his long-time girlfriend an engagement ring over Christmas.
He met Hannah Blackwell six years ago and they have stuck together since his win in 2012.
The two met while volunteering at a women and children's shelter in 2009. That's the way he rolls, y'all!

Kimberly Caldwell, who finished seventh season two and hosted a TV Guide channel show about "Idol" for several years, married soccer player Jordan Harvey, according to People.
