It wasn’t even a week ago that David Cook won American Idol Season 7 and he’s already in the news for his “latest” hook-up. She is Kimberly Caldwell, the rocker chic from American Idol Season 2 that finished in seventh place. From The Pop Crunch Show,

“David Cook is dating American Idol Season 2 alum Kimberly Caldwell.

The former bartender, who defeated seventeen year old fan favorite David Archuleta at the American Idol 7 Season Finale last Wednesday, has confirmed reports that he and Kimberly enjoyed a dinner date over the weekend.

“We’ll probably hang out again. So we’ll see,” David said on Live with Regis & Kelly on Tuesday morning.”

David Cook made an impression on the show that will not soon be forgotten, being one of the most sincere and geniunely nice contestants the show has ever seen combined with that powerhouse voice. Kimberly Caldwell you might sort of, maybe, kind of remember but I don’t see her sticking around in the news for too long. My prediction is this. David will just be adjusting to life in Hollywood and it will be too much of a strain on their relationship until he has gotten used to it. Once he has, he’ll have plenty of other women at his feet and David himself won’t even remember who she is.

American Idol has more news surrounding its contestants this year than ever before. There have already been talks of strippers and naked photos but this latest news is much sadder than any of those. The news concerns David Cook and his own health issues as well as those of his brother. David was hospitalized a little while ago after suffering from high blood pressure and heart palpitations. He’s doing much better now but now it has also come out that his brother is suffering from cancer. From People,

“His older brother Adam Cook is battling cancer, sources confirm. David hasn’t spoken about it, the sources add, out of respect for his brother – and because he didn’t want to seek sympathy votes. But he has performed with an electric guitar emblazoned with his brother’s initials “A.C.”

Cook has had me enamoured with him ever since he sang Lionel Richie’s song Hello. He has just gotten better with every passing week and it’s extremely sad that he needs to go through this while participating in what will probably be the biggest competition of his life.

Not only that, but People managed to take an awfully sad story and turn it into a story about Jordin Sparks. Apparantly, the girl that never should have won suffered her own tragedies while on the show. I will say no more about it because I’m quite horrified that People would go into it almost completely forgetting about David Cook. I love People as I know their facts are actual facts and they bring the people what they want. But this is poor judgement in my eyes.
