Dating Kimberly Caldwell for nearly seven months, David Cook reportedly is planning to propose to her during the holidays. The “American Idol” winner is claimed to have been looking for the perfect ring to be given to his leading lady.

Per Star magazine, David is keen to present Kimberly with an extravagant 2-carat diamond and platinum ring from Tiffany’s when he pops the question. The gem, still according to Star, costs $54,000.

“He’s not used to spending that kind of money on jewelry, so he needs to give it some thought,” so read a quote in this week’s issue of Star. At press time, there hasn’t any comment from David, Kimberly, or their people concerning the engagement report.

David Cook is recognized as the winner of the 7th season of hit singing competition “American Idol.” Before dating Kimberly Caldwell in May this year, he had no hesitation to make public his love for the former “Idol” contestant, asking her to go out on a date on the TV Guide Network.

“I’m just excited because I finally get to talk to you,” he told her during an interview on the Idol Tonight show in late May. “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.”

Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of “Saturday Night Live,” predicts that the presidential and vice presidential candidates will stop by the comedy show before the election. He also said in a phone interview Tuesday that Tina Fey will return to play Gov. Sarah Palin.

“I think sooner or later, everyone will come through,” Michaels said of the candidates. He declined to give dates as to when “Saturday Night Live” viewers might see Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama, as well as their running mates, Sen. Joseph Biden and Gov. Palin (…) “In 2000, both Bush and Gore came on,” Michaels noted. As for when this crop of candidates would appear, he said, “I don’t know when. We’re always talking to everyone.”

As for Fey coming back to reprise her role as Gov. Palin before the election, Michaels said, “I think that’s likely.”

Even though Fey’s depiction of Palin has helped drive the show to a 50 percent increase in ratings over last year, Michaels confirmed what Fey said in a recent interview with TV Guide – that she’s done playing Palin after the election. “She’s gone” after the election, said Michaels. “She has a full-time job” as the creator and star of the NBC comedy “30 Rock,” which returns Oct. 30. Michaels added that “SNL” cast member Kristin Wiig would likely play the Alaska governor should the need arise past Nov. 4.

Michaels also told the Tribune exclusively that Ben Affleck would be the host of the show’s Nov. 1 broadcast. David Cook of “American Idol” fame will be the musical guest.

“Saturday Night Live’s” final pre-election broadcast will air Monday, Nov. 3. That “Election Bash” will not be live but will be a mix of new material taped for the program and older political skits from the past year. There are a total of six “SNL” broadcasts before the end of the election season: Two additional Thursday broadcasts on Oct. 16 and 23, three Saturday broadcasts Oct. 18 and 25 and Nov. 1, and the “Election Bash” Nov. 3. The hosts and musical guests are as follows: Josh Brolin and Adele on Oct. 16, Jon Hamm and Coldplay on Oct. 25 and Affleck and Cook on Nov. 1.

I will have much more from Michaels soon. I’ll be posting a long piece on the resurgent “Saturday Night Live” in the next few days.

19/RCA/RMG American Idol winner David Cook’s debut album, produced by Grammy winner Rob Cavallo, hits Nov. 18, but there’s already action on the single, “Light On,” with major spin increases at Top 40, including adds at KRBE, WBZW, WWWQ, WQAL, WQAI, KMXV and CKEY. After one day on iTunes, the single is Top 10. Look for multiple TV appearances and a video, now filming, to impact by the end of the month.
