This season's American Idol champ, David Cook, is dating second season alum Kimberly Caldwell.

"She's great," Cook tells Extra. "So far, I've had a really good time with her."

Cook hasn't been shy about his interest in Caldwell. He even asked her out on the TV Guide Network.

"I'm just excited because I finally get to talk to you," he told her during an interview Wednesday night on the Idol Tonight show. "I've been hearing you say all these nice things about me all season, So I'm actually going to ask you to dinner right now."

Caldwell accepted, with a hug, telling the camera after Cook left, "I just got asked out on a date."

And while he's interested in her romantically, Cook admits he's not entirely familiar with Caldwell's music. "I knew who she was, but I can't remember a song that she sang," he told Extra. "I'm probably in the dog house now."

That girl in Pennsylvania is sure pissed as hell now LOL

No, Cookie, you belong with me!!! <sobs> :(

all the IDF Cook fans are going insane over this : o FUNNAY

Am I the only one who doesn't get the big deal? I haven't seen anything beyond the date invitation on the TVGuide Network that implies that they're an item. I imagine they went out once, he realized that she's a cackling cow, and that was the end of that "fine" romance.

^ There's a pic of them holding hands, LOLz.

Whatever at this whole thing. I'm happy that he's happy ... but I bet their relationship lasts only till the AI tour starts.

Right on, Karen!!! :wave:

Although I will forever love Cookie!!!
