Thanks so very much to everyone who's written to me over the past couple of months! Your continued support is appreciated more than you could ever know.

Whew! American Idol Season 5 is over and I'm exhausted! HA! I'm so fortunate that I LOVE my job and that I get paid to have fun! Our Idol Tonight show was such a blast to shoot every week. I hope that all of you got to catch some of the fun we had this season. Besides Idol Tonight on the TV Guide Channel, I was super busy with weekly interviews for the Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC News Live, the Rita Cosby show, and the Glen Beck show along with many, many radio interviews throughout the season. The bad thing about living on the West Coast is that when you're live on the air in New York at 7 am, that means I have to be up at 3 am and shooting at 4 am! I'm going to continue doing weekly interviews for the Glenn Beck show on CNN and for the Rita Cosby show on MSNBC covering some other things beside American Idol. We're also continuing with Reality Chat which airs every week on the TV Guide Channel on Sunday at 7 pm, 6 central.

I recently was in the Girls Rock Fashion Show for Virgin Megastores and that was a blast! Just this past weekend, I performed at Summerfest in Brea, California, with Ace Young and Ruben Studdard. What an awesome event! There were literally THOUSANDS of people there and the crowd was just unbelievable!! We all had a fabulous time!

Here's some news that I'm super excited about! I landed a role in the movie, Wrong Turn 2, that's filming this summer! I can't reveal any details about my character, but I think it's going to be great fun and I can't wait to get started! I'll definitely keep you all posted about it!

I have a new music manager that’s working with us on the album and he's really helping to get the ball rolling! It's taken us awhile now, but after some serious soul searching, we decided to take a change in directions and I'm going back to my country music roots. My music is definitely going to be Country Rock and I'm really excited about the progress we're making. My first single, which is, of course, a Diane Warren song, is going to be released this summer! I can't wait and I hope you all love it as much as I do!

For news about the single and the movie, check out, http://www.kimberly-caldwell.com, which is now my Official Web Site. It's always up to the minute with news about everything I'm doing and I can't thank Kristin enough for the fabulous job she's done with it for the past THREE YEARS! Pretty much anything you'd ever want to know about me is on that site.

Thank you so much for believing in me. 2006 is shaping up to be the best year ever!

Much love,
Kimberly
