Kim actually looks decent in the video, but the whole husky voice thing gets old really fast. Maybe laying off the cigarettes might be a good idea? It's not completely awful, but it's not catchy either. (Via MJ's Big Blog)

Kimberly Caldwell, season 2 American Idol finalist, has an announcement up on website about her upcoming album that is finally being released. Well, apparently overthinking things over the past 6 years hasn't helped, as her single "Mess of You" makes her sound like a chain-smoking dude. Hear the clip on her site, or watch the live performance above. Thoughts?

So while we still haven't brought you a single update about Carly Smithson's career post-Idol (because there hasn't been one since no one wants her to make music), we do have an update from TMZ that is pretty funny. So what does Carly do nowadays? Well she's now moonlighting as Kimberly Caldwell's personal butt cleaner. Oh, Carly. The saddest part is that you're now at the level of desperation of Kim Caldwell since you elect to hang out with her. That's even worse than you were before. Another epic failure moment, brought to you by Carly Smithson.

Star Magazine reports that Kimberly Caldwell was all over a tall bald guy named Ryan on December 29 at LA hotspot ONE Sunset. Apparently they were "grinding on the dance floor. They started playfully kissing, but that quickly led to long lip locks until they were full-on making out." This leads us to believe our report that she and Water Head broke up just before Christmas is true. The real question though is why any news outlet is reporting about her (our apologies for carrying it further). Do people even recognize her?
