Watch below and check out the infomercial that features Kimberley at YouTube.
Kimberley Locke updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (May 18), talking about what she’s been up to. The ‘American Idol’ season two finalist writes:
I know you’ve been wondering what I’m up to and what I’m working on. As I mentioned in a previous blog I’ve been doing some writing for both my project and other people’s projects. I haven’t written a lot for me as I am still thinking about direction for my next project.
I’ve also been working on some hosting things. Some of which I can’t talk about just yet. ;-). You may have heard already that I will be doing some hosting on a show called Gospel Dream. So as soon as I know the air dates I will let you know. Or if you find out before me, then you can let me know! As you know this is Idol Finale week and I will be hosting the red carpet for Radar Online. So you can check that out too.

Kimberley Locke updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (April 13), revealing her new management and what she’s been up to in the studio. The ‘American Idol’ season two finalist writes:
First of all I have new management! I am very excited to be working with Jay Schwartz. He works with one of my favorite artists, Gladys Knight. We are both extremely excited about our new partnership. We are already working on new and exciting things in regards to my career. I think you all will be happy to hear that these things are in music and television. So I’ll keep you posted.
As some of you know I’ve been writing with my friend Josh Skinner. We’ve been having fun in the studio writing and singing. We are mostly writing for other people’s projects, which is a lot of fun because I’ve never done that and it makes me feel like a REAL writer. (I know that sounds crazy). Some of the stuff could be used for my next album but it’s too early to tell.

Kimberley Locke updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (March 10), talking about her participation in the launch of the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World Resort last month. Locke tells readers:
The day was amazingly organized and well put together from beginning to end. I was fortunate enough to host the “blue” carpet for ET and talk to every Idol present. It was a long day but well worth it. I had a blast meeting everyone! I think most people assume we all know one another but a lot of them I met for the first time. Not too mention it was a blast catching up with some of the producers who were there for season 2. I could not have had a better experience.

‘American Idol’ season two finalist Kimberley Locke answered several fan questions on her blog at MySpace on Saturday (January 24). Among them:
When do we get the next Kimberley Locke album? I think you should just record a dance album since your dance mixes do so well on the charts and all us gays love you!!!!!!
I have definitely thought of recording a dance album. It makes total sense! I have had so much success on the dance charts. This is not out of the question. A dance album will be in the top three options for the next album.Why aren’t you as popular in the African American community as you are in the gay community?
That’s a very good question….I don’t have an answer to that. Maybe I will be one day.

Kimberley Locke checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (January 20) after attending the presidential inauguration. The ‘American Idol’ season two finalist tells readers:
I wanted to let you all know that I went to the festivities today in D.C. and might I say that it was a great experience. I was excited, like a kid going a on a field trip! For those of you who weren’t there I hope you got to enjoy some of it on television. It was truly a great experience. I was so happy that I could actually be there for such a historic moment.
I’m sure that you all have heard by now that the cruise is being postponed due to the issues that we are having with the economy. We could not foresee this situation but we look forward to having it in the near future once the economy picks up. Of course, you will be the first to know!

Kimberley Locke answered a few fan questions on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (December 7). The singer was asked by one if she kept in regular touch with any other contestants from her season of ‘American Idol’, or if she’s become close with any other season’s ‘Idol’ alums. “Unfortunately, no I don’t,” the season two finalist said. “In the beginning I did. Now I only really talk to Ruben and sometime we go a month or so without touching base. He did a concert with me at my Charity event for Camp Heartland, it was a BLAST!”
It’s notable that Locke did not mention her former roommate, Clay Aiken, who she had a falling out with in 2007 after Aiken took offense to Locke discussing a tour that would have brought Locke, Aiken and Studdard together. “I told Billboard I was ‘hopeful’ that the tour would come together,” Locke said in a MySpace blog. “(That didn’t get printed.) In no way did I imply that we were all committed to this tour idea. So contrary to Clay feeling ‘unfortunate’, that the story ‘found it’s way to the press unauthorized’, it was not ‘unauthorized’. It was put out there my me, who conceived the touring idea and called my friends for their involvement. If Clay had chosen to return my phone calls over the last two months, he would perhaps not feel as ‘unfortunate’, and he would have been made aware that I mentioned it to Billboard.”
Just last month, Locke talked about the fallout of the 2007 incident, telling AccessHollywood.com correspondent Laura Saltman at a rehearsal for the 2008 ‘American Idol Holiday Tour’: “Clay and I aren’t really friends anymore. We lived together, but some things transpired and, you know, we’re just — I don’t really talk to Clay anymore. It’s hard to live with someone. Roommates, boyfriends, girlfriends.”

I am currently at home visiting with my mom for a few days. I did a show in Memphis this weekend with Justin Guarini. We had a blast!!! A couple of my friends had birthdays this weekend and we celebrated on Beale Street at B.B. Kings. We were there last night and they have an amazing band. If you have never been to Beale street you should definitely go!
Election time is upon us and I encourage everyone to exercise their right no matter who you’re voting for… JUST VOTE!!! I will be voting tomorrow. Getting in on the early action. How exciting!
