Born in Katy, TX, in 1982, Caldwell started singing at age five, performing in pageants and working her way up to the Grand Ole Opry and Star Search (where she was a five-time junior vocalist winner) while still a young teen. After taking a break for a few years, Caldwell resumed singing, starting with local venues and eventually appearing on the WB Television Network's Popstars: USA talent program in 2001. She was dismissed from the show's group because the judges believed she would do better as a solo artist. In 2003, she appeared on Idol, showcasing her raspy, powerful vocals with performances of Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window" and Martha & the Vandellas' "Nowhere to Run."
TV Guide Network hired Kimberly as a correspondent for American Idol’s third season and quickly became a staple on the network. She hosted various specials and covered a wide variety of awards shows including Red Carpet specials before the Grammy® Awards, Academy Awards®, People's Choice Awards, Primetime Emmy® Awards, Golden Globe® Awards.
Kimberly is a singer, actress, and television personality who gained national recognition during her time on American Idol. She is currently serving as the host of a new CBS series Jingles, as well as a new MTV series entitled P. Diddy's StarMaker. Both series are produced by Mark Burnett and are slated to begin airing in 2009.
In addition to hosting for TV Guide Network, Kimberly has also frequently appeared on a variety of other news programs as a special Idol correspondent, including Larry King Live, Glenn Beck, MSNBC News Live, Showbiz Tonight, Rita Cosby, and Fox News Live.
