Caleb Johnson attended Jena Irene's prom a few days ago fulfilling a promise he made during the show.
Sure, he's 23 years old and way too old for a prom but they say they are just good friends.
You can see photos of Jena Irene in a prom dress here. Caleb did not wear a tux.
Asciutto, 17, looked stylish and sweet in a strapless cream-colored gown, while rocker Johnson, 23 – who declared himself "probably the antithesis" of previous American Idol winners – eschewed the traditional tuxedo in favor of a button-down shirt, black pants and a leather jacket.
Caleb already has to put together an album in record time. It's set for release August 12. I'm not sure any winner has gotten a record out that fast. Jena Irene is going to graduation, then both join the "Idols Live" tour later this month.

Season 7's David Archuletta is back from a two-year mission for the Church of Latter-Day Saints and working on new music. Check out his new video explaining that he is not dead and not being lazy. "I'm working. I am writing. I'm getting to know me, figuring out who I am," he said, his voice sounding deeper than I recall from 2008 when he came in second behind David Cook.
