American Idol champion, David Cook, is dating second season alum Kimberly Caldwell, according to People mag.

"She's great," Cookie shared with Regis & Kelly Tuesday morning. "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.

Cook admitted that while he knew Kimberly herself vied on Idol (during Season 2), "I can't remember a song that she sang. I'm probably in the dog house now." Dude, just because you can't remember what she sang? That's gotta be one crowded dog house.

"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."
