‘American Idol’ vet tells all — show airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV! By James Montgomery Kimberly Caldwell Photo: MTV News Kimberly Caldwell has turned heads on “American Idol” and the TV Guide Channel, and things were pretty much the same when she was 17 … only, back then, she was turning heads for an entirely different reason: She was the girl positively covered in blood. It seems that, back in high school, Caldwell was the talk of her prom, although not for any of the reasons the bubbly Texas blonde would’ve preferred. And on the next episode of MTV’s ‘When I Was 17,” she spills the details about the prom-night mishap that haunts her to this day. “When I was 17, I got asked out by one of the really hot senior boys to prom and I was, like, so excited,” Caldwell said. “And so I’m with all these seniors, and we go to this really beautiful restaurant, and we’re walking, and I had gotten this really, really pretty dress, and all my friends, like, came over and helped me get ready and everything.” The incident that ensued was not something out of Stephen King’s “Carrie,” but the effect was not that different. “I was so excited, and of course I had put on my ‘I’m so cool, this is not too exciting’ face. So we went to this restaurant, and before we even ate dinner, I tripped and I fell,” she continued. “My dress got split all the way up to my belly button, and my knee got a gash and it started gushing blood. It was a really, really sexy moment for me.” Indeed! For more on Caldwell’s teenaged misadventures — plus equally harrowing tales from Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta and Olympic medalist Evan Lysacek — don’t miss the next episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
