She also had three #1 Christmas singles which led to a holiday tour with Dave Koz, whom she dueted with on the classic, "Please Come Home for Christmas." She gained fame with her participation in the 2003 American Idol television series where she was second runner up to Ruben Studdard, and in 2007 she garnered media attention for her participation in VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club."

In November 2007, Locke was presented with the Red Ribbon Award in recognition for her extensive charitable efforts as an HIV/AIDS activist.

Disco Diva Bash & One Heartland Updates
Hey All, I know that you know the new single "Strobelight" is out and available on iTunes so I am just here to give you an update. First, thank you so much for your support! I love all the tweets and messages I get throughout the day about how much you love it! Thanks to all of you who have already downloaded it and are jamming to it in the gym or in your car or wherever!!!! Some of you may have already heard it on satellite radio. I know DMX is spinning it a lot. Thanks DMX!!!! June 1st is the official radio impact day and that's when you will be able to request it on your station. On June 8th, the brand new remixes will be available on iTunes for download... I think there are 6 more! I couldn't be more excited!!!! This takes me back to the release of '8th World Wonder' when I heard it for the first time on the radio, I almost ran off the road!!! LOL! I couldn't be more pleased with your response to this record. Thank you for your support!
As most of you know I will be hosting a party in Nashville, TN at the War Memorial Auditorium on June 19th called the "Disco Diva Bash... You Bring The Diva!" (Presented by Issima Skin Care) Things are moving along in a beautiful way. We just announced that vitaminwater will be sponsoring and pimping out our VIP Lounge. Each VIP ticket comes with a gift bag full of goodies that will include a SPECIAL AND EXCLUSIVE gift from me. I know that Nashville may be far for some of you but if you can make it we would love to see you at the party... with your Diva!!!!!! I also want to let you know that we have 10 Super VIP tickets. These tickets include 2 gift bags, a gift basket of wine and goodies from Bonefish Grill, entry to the party and the vitaminwater zero VIP lounge, as well as an intimate dinner party with me. These tickets are going for $1000 each and there are only a few left. I want to offer them to my fans who can raise $1000 for the event. You can get one of these tickets!!!!! You just need ten people to donate $100 or 20 people to donate $50 to the cause and you can have dinner with me! If you are up for the challenge it will be 2 nights to remember.
Since Nashville is my home town I want everyone to know that when you make a donation to Camp Heartland, a portion will be donated to the flood victims to help them get back on their feet. Every little bit helps. I know they appreciate your help and so do I. For those of you who have already made your donation please know that it is so appreciated and you will receive a thank you letter in mail. :-)
Don't forget if anyone wants to volunteer for camp, you can!!! I am going to Malibu Camp (August) and the Minneapolis Camp (June) this year. If you have nothing to do this summer break I would love to see you at camp. Go to www.oneheartland.org for more information.
For those of you following me on Twitter, let's be friends on Facebook too! I would like to keep you as up to date as possible. I hope you all had a great weekend and are gearing up to have a fab holiday weekend! I am going home to be with my friends and family. I can't wait! Oh yeah and one more thing.... send me your questions and comments! I will do my best to get you a response!
Lots of Love,
Kimberley Locke

Hey Everyone,
I was watching the Janet Jackson interview last night with Robin Roberts and I was so moved and inspired by Janet that I wanted to blog about it. Ladies, if you haven't seen it go watch it online. It is so worth it.
Janet was real, vulnerable and absolutely beautiful. At times I felt as if she were talking to me as my best friend and then there were times that I related to her so much it was scary, as if she were in my head. She did something for me last night that she may never know, she inspired me and let me know that we all share the same issues.
What I want my female fans to know is that we ALL have insecurities, even Janet Jackson. Myself included. To see Janet Jackson sit there in her interview and talk about her weight issues, how she didn't like her smile, and her butt... It was mind blowing!!! Because I was sitting on the couch looking at her as my idol and how amazing she is and to hear her say she's a "Normal" woman just made me love her so much more. Everything that she said I have heard myself say those same things. But Miss Jackson told me last night "that I'm fine".
As for Jermaine Dupree, the way she spoke of his love for her made me melt. Harvey and I rewinded it twice just to hear and see the love they have for one another. I'm blessed because I have someone in my life who let's me know that "I'm fine just the way I am" as well. I'm telling you she moved me!!!!
Through it all, Janet Jackson is still in control!!! I have a new found love for her as a woman. I can't wait to read her book.
One Love

Hello Everyone,
I first want to thank all of you for posting on all my fansites and know that read your messages. I appreciate them so much.
I wanted to let you all know that I'm working on a few things that I can't wait to tell you about. Yes, one of those things has to do with a new record. I know you are ready and so am I!!!!!!
I just got back from NY as well as TN where I got to visit my mom, friends and kitties!!!!! I posted a pic of me and my motorcycle, I thought you'd enjoy that.... I did!
As you know the holidays are approaching and I wish you all a happy holiday season! And that you are safe and happy!!!!! I know most of you already have it but if you don't, download the Christmas album and blast it around the house. That's what my mom and I do. She loves the Chipmunks and Charlie Brown Christmas records. Go figure. We are big cartoon people.
I have a few appearances coming up that you may want to know about. I have a date coming up in San Diego (Nov 7th) that I will post on the site once I have the information. Another one is for Camp Heartland in LA on Nov 28th at Hollywood and Highland. I will be there for the Christmas Tree lighting. Also, I will be the Grand Marshall this year for the Reno Christmas Parade on Dec 5th. Hope to see some of you out and about! Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
One Love
Kimberley Locke
