David Cook & Kimberly Caldwell: Still Going Strong!

David Cook & Kimberly Caldwell: Still Going Strong!

American Idol couple David Cook and Kimberly Caldwell hold hands after sharing a romantic lunch together on Thursday afternoon in Santa Monica, Calif.

David, 25, recently sat down with EW.com to talk about his self-titled debut CD that hits stores on Tuesday, November 18th.

On his ‘rivalry’ with Idol runner-up David Archuleta: “Hopefully, because that means Archie and I are hopefully still doing well! In a sense, it’s fun that that whole rivalry thing got created. If you put me in the same sentence with David Archuleta, I’ll be fine.

On his single “Light On”: “”Light On” is an interesting song. It encompasses almost all of my range. It’s all over the place. That’s Chris Cornell at his finest. It’s got some Zeppelin influence in it; it’s got some ’80s hair-metal influence; it’s got some grunge influence. To me it’s like a rock history lesson put into about a four-minute lecture. It’s fun to play, but it is definitely an intimidating song.”

On his comparison to Daughtry: “I didn’t let it get to me on the show, and I see no reason to let it get to me afterward. I just think this record is me, and if people want to compare it to Daughtry, awesome.”

you guys SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! cant you see that david is happy!!!!!!! when i first saw these picks yea i was sad and jealous but i think its because im still a teen(i thought i outgrew that) but really people get over it david is NEVER going to date you!!!!!!! at first i was iffy about her but david is happy and i read that davids family likes her….just be happy for david that he found someone that he likes to be with

RIGHT, NUMBERS # 9…# 10 …# 11…AND ” CARLY “…..AGREE….His career will nose-dive if so many of his fans can’t stand Kimberly….I forgot also, that she even existed……..David CAN and DOES need to look around a little…..He MUST do better in his choice of women,..someone like Carrie would be nice….or a nice fuzzy dog..ANYTHING but Kimberly !!….UGH !!!

But can’t that go both ways? Just because you met someone once and talked to them for five minutes doesn’t mean that they’re nice and sweet either.

I think David rushed into the relationship. I just don’t think a woman ever pursued him as aggressively as Kim probably did, so he’s enjoying that aspect of it. I’ve come to realize that the boy just can’t be alone. He’s a serial monogamist.

If he’s happy, then good for him! We don’t have to like it, but won’t stop him from dating her. They’re going on six months already and a lot of people have been very vocal about their dislike of her.

come on over and join this fab board where free speech about Cook and his sl ut girlfriend is allowed. Its a cool board.

All you Kim fans are so immature. Just like loud mouth. You sound like a bunch of ten year olds defending you don’t even know.

Maybe the people who dislike Kim have good reason, and no one wants Cook as their boyfriend. Read you idiots. It’s his choice that is in bad taste.

And Nicole is 100% on the money.

Kim is a S L U T. And a *********. She is leading David around like a puppy dog, and he needs the B A L L S to dump her trashy ass. First a mommys boy, and now this! David, grow up. You don’t need a T R A M P to make your life worthwhile.

She is so cute with him. Both have a great sense of humor and a beautiful smile. They are both talented and really nice people. Thank you for the pictures. It has to be so hard to maintain a relationship with all of the time apart that their careers required. I really wish them the very best. I think they are perfect for each other. David Cook is a smart guy. If he has picked Kimberly, there is undoubtedly a reason and she is a very lucky girl.

I am from Indonesia (south east asia), I really don’t know anything about Kim, but I have to say that David deserve a better woman than this Kimberly. Sorry for my English

i just want to say if you like davids music it shouldnt matter who he is dating read his lyrics to permanent(which he wrote about his bro who has cancer)
“Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you’ll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won’t go away today
Will you think that you’re all alone
When no one’s there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head
I’m permanent
I know he’s living in hell every single day
And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say it’s all touch and go I wish I could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you’re all alone when no one’s there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head
I’m permanent
I’m permanent
Is the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you’ll never see me cry”
now seriously does it really matter who he dates or is it more immportant and follow david and try to help cancer research so possibly people will be able to get better from this awful disease like davids brother and like my older brothers friend who should be at college but now is stuck at home because of cancer

I think it’s hilarious that the people who are actually defending the girl are being called immature. “You sound like a bunch of idiots defending someone you don’t even know.” Do YOU know her? Uh, pot meet kettle? You’re devoting your time to trashing a girl who you don’t know because of your perception of the kind of person she is based on… seeing her on TV a few times?

Naturally, she’ll be unfairly attacked, as if you look at the fanbase of any male celebrity, his female fans attack who he is dating. Some Justin Timberlake fans hate Jessica Biel. Some John Mayer fans hate Jennifer Aniston, etc. Do these people know Jessica or Jennifer? No.

Forgive me, as I’m in my 20s and may be past some of this high school catty behavior that some are still displaying, but I don’t see why people post these truly hateful remarks about the girl. Unless she personally boned a bunch of guys you know, I don’t think commenting on anything related to her being a s l u t or a t r a m p makes any sense. If you think she can’t sing or she’s loud or whatever, that’s one thing. Those are things you might actually have enough of a clue about to form an opinion… but the rest? The maturity train left the station and you obviously missed it. Maybe try to catch the next one?

I don’t know the girl personally so I have no opinion here but sweet jesus, some of you girls are ridiculous.

awh, little miss immature, or should I call you Terri.

How do you if people don’t know her on this board. There are quite a few who have met her and know her history. Apparently, you do not no her history. Let me give you a brief list.

Caldwell during American Idol said her goal in life is to be rich and famous. Go check out you tube where she talks about in a 7 part video series about her life. She will do anything to keep her name in the spotlight.

She dumps a guy during American Idol because she went on tour with Idol and he didn’t make the top 24….

Every season she has been with an idol. These were articles posted on the internet.

She had a publicized DUI in I think 2007… she has been trashed various times at bars, she is a rock groupie, and she smokes.

She lost her virginity at 15, she was a troubled teen, and she has no college degree.

She is nothing more than a former pageant contestant, who loves the attention and wants to be on the other side of the microphone.

She admitted on Howard Stern that she slept with at least 10 guys.

Howard Stern’s co host said he wanted to put a dildo in her mouth to shut her up. She talks about masturbating all the time. She is a complete loser with no class.

And that is just starters….

I know Kim and she is NOT a good person. I hope David wakes up from this little dream VERY soon.

Sandra you are right. My sister went to Highschool with her in Katy. She cussed teachers out and slept with half the football team.

These girls or cougars who are hating on kim its because they are ugly and fat.just been jealous. Get your facts straight before you post.What ever happen with Kim was a long time ago . David look over that why cant you.

Learn how to spell, pam

Nikki you cannot comprehend . Now I see that most of the people that post here are kids.

Excuse you, Shirley???

i know her @ 11/08/2008 at 11:21 pm

I’m a really good friend of hers & was sent this link from someone a work who ran across the article. Most of what’s said here is pretty offensive and inaccurate.. at least applying to the person I’ve come to know. She’s very, very, very sweet and one of those people who will always be there for you. I didn’t know her when she was in high school but she’s admitted she was a troubled teen but turned her life around and has spoken out about wanting to mentor troubled teens. I’m not a big believer in writing people off due to past mistakes. As long as you learn from them, more power to you. She is also closely involved with two charities. She’s got a really good heart. And s l u t or ********* are two of the last words in the book I’d ever choose to describe her. Thought maybe it might be worth something to contribute some insight from a person who actually knows her as opposed to someone who has seen her on tv or heard an interview or who knows someone who knew her more than 8 years ago etc. etc. She’s really not the trashy devil woman some of you make her out to be. Or really anywhere close. Enjoy the fabulous karma that you’ve earned!

he can do so much better.
i don’t really like her, but if he’s
happy with her then i’m happy for him :]

..i dont like that girl for david cook!

..i dont like kimberly!

They look annoyed with each other in all these pics. The body language is downright hostile in the pics where they’re facing each other.

He’s “a goober from the Midwest” (his own description) who’s never dated a hot girl in his life. She’s a fizzled out reality failure who’s desperately trying to get some more fame. The goober becomes the new American Idol. She shows up with him everywhere and anywhere there’s a reporter or a camera. What a cliche.

Once his fame starts going away (or if his album tanks, whichever comes first) Kimberly Caldwell will run from him so fast, she’ll pull a hamstring. And she’ll hook up with a new reality star who can help her get some more publicity.

I’m laughing at a few of the rabid pro-Kimberly posts on here. They have got to be from Kimberly herself.

Actually, the video of this incident on the tubey tells an interesting story. The body language between those two is not good. Notice how he pulls away from Skankwell as soon as he spots the pappers. And I think she subsequently gets pissed at him.
#68, I think you are actually Kim defending yourself. However, giving you the benefit of the doubt, if she’s your friend, she will need you soon. This guy’s body language tells a clear story …and it’s not looking good for her. Honestly, every time I see those two together, he looks unhappy … stone-faced.
Light On is tanking, and so is the video. Why? Well married men aren’t sexy to many (not all) young fan girls … most of my friends are totally turned off the guy since he started dated that *****. And this translates into LOWER SALES of the goods he’s selling!!

Oh, and another thing … this is not a restaurant where the pappers hang out that much. Maybe Kimberskank tipped them off??? That would be her style. I feel sorry for David Cook. He seems unhappy … barely smiles.

Most famous people tip off the paps where they’ll be. That’s a given. If they didn’t tip them off themselves, then somebody did. Forgive me for thinking that, but almost a week prior to David’s album being released, he gets “caught” out on a lunch date with his “girlfriend”? Okay! The body languages is quite hostile. In the video, I think she’s explaining how to do valet parking. She’s kind of talking to him like he’s stupid.

Keep in mind that they really haven’t been seen out in public since after he won. Interesting.
