'American Idol' | with a twist | crowns winner

Caleb Lee Hutchinson and Maddie Poppe were the top two finalist for this season's "American Idol."

'American Idol' | with a twist | crowns winner 


(CNN)There was love in the air during the "American Idol" finale Monday night.
And not just from fans rooting for their favorites.
    It was revealed that the final pair of contestants, Caleb Lee Hutchinson and Maddie Poppe, are dating.
    Poppe, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from Iowa, claimed the Idol title over her 19-year-old beau, who is a musician from Dallas, Georgia.
    Hutchinson congratulated his girlfriend in a tweet that excitedly proclaimed, "MY GIRLFRIEND WON AMERICAN IDOL!!!"
    "No one deserved it more than you, babe," he wrote. "I am honored to know you and even more honored to call you mine. Don't forget about me. I love you."
    It was a first finale for the show since ABC revived the former Fox franchise.
    Jimmy Kimmel even got into the excitement, doing a "Where Are They Now" segment with on his late night show with former Idol contestants.

    The contestants performed duets with several stars, including Patti LaBelle, LeAnn Rimes, Darius Rucker, Joe Jonas and even Kermit the Frog.
    But it was Hutchinson's declaration that he and Poppe were in a relationship -- after host Ryan Seacrest teasingly asked if the singer would be able to duet with Poppe -- that had the audience screaming.
    "I've known her since the beginning of Hollywood Week, and you know, she...she actually happens to be my girlfriend," Hutchinson said.
    The couple then performed a medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World."
    Their duet was like a Disney movie ending, which makes sense given that Disney is ABC's parent company.

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United | Chelsea Beat Man United To Win The FA Cu...

    Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0 RECAP as Eden Hazard wins FA Cup for Blues at Wembley The Belgian was hauled down by Phil Jones and picked himself up to convert the penalty in what could be Antonio Conte's final match in charge Eden Hazard fired  Chelsea  to FA Cup glory against  Manchester United  as Antonio Conte's expected farewell ended with a memorable triumph against old foe Jose Mourinho. The 137th FA Cup final - and first utilising a video assistant referee - was not as cagey as some had feared but was hardly a rip-roaring affair as the Blues looked to atone for last season's shock finale defeat and a tepid Premier League title defence. Mourinho came into the match looking to frustrate his former club and write his name into the record books, but Conte - subject of so much speculation regarding his future - emerged triumphant as Hazard's first-half penalty secured a 1-0 win at Wembley. Many had fancied United to win a record-equalling 1...

    Disney World Is Now Serving Alcohol at Every Sit-Down Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World  guests have been drinking their way through the  World Showcase pavilions at Epcot  for years, and now they have more opportunities to sip on adult beverages at the Magic Kingdom, too. According to a  Disney press release , three new restaurants inside the resort’s original park have added alcohol to their menus, meaning that those over the age of 21 can now drink at  all  table-service establishments on the premises. This announcement comes six years after the first Magic Kingdom eatery to serve beer and wine, Be Our Guest, opened in 2012. Prior to that, the park had a strict no-alcohol policy since its opening in 1971 as part of Walt Disney’s original vision to create a family-friendly experience. The rule remains in place at the original Disneyland park in Anaheim, though its sister park Disney California Adventure does serve alcohol (as d...
