We suggested yesterday that Audrina Patridge and Mario Lopez would make a hot couple … but what about Audrina and David Cook instead?

The American Idol winner and The Hills star met up at a bash honoring a Glamour magazine editor in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

We know Audrina’s dating Tal Cooperman and David has a thing for Kimberly Caldwell… but we think they’d make a cute couple. Do you?

What do you think? Should Audrina Patridge and David Cook date?

Jennifer Hudson is an Academy Award winner and an American Idol finalist. So, why won’t Barack Obama call her?!? “I sang for Obama after I did Idol,” Hudson said in an interview with E!. “I’m so proud and excited for him. I haven’t gotten a call from them yet, but he does have my support.” Seriously, Mr. Obama, […]

Jennifer Hudson is an Academy Award winner and an American Idol finalist.

So, why won’t Barack Obama call her?!?

“I sang for Obama after I did Idol,” Hudson stated in an interview with E!. “I’m so proud and excited for him. I haven’t gotten a call from them yet, but he does have my support.”

Seriously, Mr. Obama, can you take time away from fighting the war against terror, racism, gas prices, subprime mortgage loans and conservative nut jobs to dial up Hudson? Just for a few minutes?

Jennifer Hudson is an American Idol and an American proud to help Barack Obama win the presidency… if he’d only call her to ask for assistance.

Now that he’s dating Kimberly Caldwell, it may not matter very much. But David Cook says he was never really a ladies man, lacking the confidence necessary to sweep a potential mate off her feet. “Looking a pretty woman in the eye and convincing her I’m worth taking a chance on is different,” Cook said recently, when […]

Now that he’s dating Kimberly Caldwell, it may not matter very much.

But David Cook says he was never really a ladies man, lacking the confidence necessary to sweep a potential mate off her feet.

“Looking a pretty woman in the eye and convincing her I’m worth taking a chance on is different,” Cook said recently, when asked to compare his stage bravado with his personal life. “It takes a specific brand of guts, and it’s not the kind I have.”

David Cook may not be smooth, but the American Idol champion wouldn’t have to say much to win over most women.

Kimberly Caldwell may have sung the national anthem at Dodger Stadium Wednesday night - but she received national attention for the man she sat next to afterwards during the game:

American Idol champion David Cook.

Witnesses told E! News this pair, who has been on at least one other date, “were all cute and cuddly… They definitely looked like a couple. But they were acting like they wanted to keep it low-key.”

Kimberly Caldwell sang the national anthem, and then watched the Dodgers fall to the Colorado Rockies.

Cook and Caldwell stayed for the game, cheering on the Dodgers, as they fell 2-1 to the Colorado Rockies in a classic pitcher’s duel.

“Apparently Cook is a big Dodgers fan,” a source said. “He just wanted to enjoy the game with his girl.”

That’s sweet. But if baseball is Cook’s game, perhaps he should date Carrie Underwood.

No shocker here: David Archuleta has signed a record contract.

“Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true,” Archuleta said in a statement. “I’m really excited to start working on everything.”

The 17-year-old fan favorite - who finished second on American Idol this season to David Cook - already has three songs on the Hot 100 chart, including his rendition of “Imagine” and “In This Moment.”

Look for Archuleta’s debut album in the fall. In the meantime, catch the cutie on stage as part of The Idols Live Tour, which kicks off July 1 in Arizona.

Last Thursday, we reported that Clay Aiken and Jaymes Foster are expecting - through artificial insemination. It’s a little bit strange.

Well, we can now report two new pieces of news:

1. Jaymes Foster is having a boy!
2. Clay Aiken is far from pleased when you ask him about it!

The former American Idol runner-up demonstrated a rare masculine streak last night, getting all up in the grill of a celebrity gossip photographer from TMZ who just wanted some more information on the unborn child.

Photos of Clay Aiken normally (left) and raging mad (right) last night.

Check out the video of Aiken’s rage here. Then follow this link to see what Clay’s legions of fans are saying about him and Jaymes Foster.

As previously reported, American Idol producers are receiving a bit of flak this season for allowing so many singers with professional backgrounds to audition for the show.

One early favorite, Kristy Lee Cook, and another who has been rumored to advance to Hollywood (Carly Hennessy) were each signed to recording contracts a few years ago.

Now, we’ve received word that Kady Malloy - our favorite singer so far - actually released an album awhile back. Unfortunately, songs from the CD have been whitewashed from the Internet, likely by American Idol higher-ups.

But a post on the MySpace blog of indie music store Amie Street reads: “Kady Malloy’s powerful voice and Hip Hop-influenced pop songs bring to mind a cross between Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and The Pussycat Dolls.

Kady’s been working with Nick Trevisick, a producer and writer for artists like Mandy Moore and Natalie Imbruglia, so remember: you heard her on Amie Street first!”

Does this bother you, folks? Are you okay with the fact that Kady Malloy and so many others are not the type of undiscovered talent that American Idol has claimed to promote?

David Cook is riding high. Not only has the rocker captured this season’s American Idol title, but he’s secured himself a cute date: former contestant Kimberly Caldwell. He actually asked her out on live TV before the show’s final broadcast last week. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrmdHU-eR8w

From new husbands of Mariah Carey to new fiancees of Matt Grant, here’s a look at who said what in the world of entertainment this week. Remember to visit our section of celebrity quotes for every utterance…

Nick Cannon [on marriage]: It’s a beautiful thing. It’s a beautiful situation … carrying on and on each day.

Syesha Mercado [following her American Idol elimination]: I don’t know what to say. I just want to say thank you.

Angelina Jolie: I’m very happy. Unlike most women, I love being pregnant… You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby.

DeAnna Pappas: I cannot date someone who smokes. That’s a definite no-no. If he’s wishy-washy and doesn’t know what he wants, that’s another no-no. Anything else, I’m pretty open to.

Lauren Bosworth: It’s disheartening to see me turn into such a bad guy on the show.

Brody Jenner: I love Spencer and I have always said that. It’s not about any animosity towards each other.

Jessica Alba: I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they’re having sex. I don’t think sex is a big deal. I hated the hypocrisy of it. Men can do whatever, and it’s acceptable.

Shayne Lamas: There’s still a lot of growing to do in our relationship. We will not tie the knot until I am mentally and physically prepared as well as Matt.

The Hollywood Gossip staff is proud to bring you Tale of the Tape, a feature in which we break down prospective matchups within the celebrity world. The following is an obvious one.

Next week, David Cook will take on David Archuleta in what may be the most anticipated American Idol finals match-up of all-time. Forget Tuesday night, though.

Who will emerge victorious in the following 10 rounds? Let’s find out. Ding, ding!

1. PAST IDOL HE MOST REMINDS US OF

David Cook: Chris Daughtry
David Archuleta: Clay Aiken
Edge: Cook

2. FAMILY TIES

David Cook: Cancer-stricken brother, Adam
David Archuleta: Insanely controlling father, Jeff
Edge: Cook

3. FIRST NAMES

David Cook: David

Edge: Even

4. BEST PERFORMANCE

David Cook: “Always Be My Baby”
David Archuleta: “Imagine”
Edge: Archuleta

5. PAST EXPERIENCE

David Cook: Lead singer for Axium, whose song “Hold” was picked up by AMC Theatres Movie Tunes and played before previews on over 20,000 screens nationwide.
David Archuleta: Won Star Search at age of 12
Edge: Archuleta

6. WRAPPED AROUND FINGER OF …

David Cook: Simon Cowell
David Archuleta: Every 12-year-old girl in America
Edge: Cook

7. U.S. STATE OF ORIGIN

Edge: Archuleta

** Julianne Hough is also from Utah.

8. AMAZING FACT

10. IS ACTUALLY NOT RELATED TO …

THE VERDICT: Cooks squeaks out a 5-3-2 victory over Archuleta. If only the younger David were related to Adam Archuleta, he could have introduced us to his wife, Jennifer Walcott, and have tied up this contest. Instead, he goes down like former Idol finalist Antonella Barba. Close battle, though.
