context_page_description: Kimberly Cole is an American pop singer, songwriter, music correspondent, and host. She is signed with the William Morris Endeavor agency.
context_section_description: Her performances have led her to write two songs for the movie Fame (2009), her song "I Know" was featured on the television film Mean Girls 2, and her song "U Make Me Wanna" (with Eddie Amador and featuring GT Garza) was featured in Basketball Wives LA.
  Her song "Nitty Gritty" was featured on the Season Finale of Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars, Duck Dynasty teen Sadie Robertson and pro partner Mark Ballas performed their samba/quickstep to the track.
  Cole's album Bad Girls Club was released on iTunes in 2010, promoting Oxygen Network's The Bad Girls Club show. Her single and video "Smack You," in which she teamed up with famed choreographer Tricia Miranda to produce, saw success and lead to the song being featured throughout season 5 of the show. Cole and Miranda were touted as "artistic soulmates," and worked together for a number of years after that.
  The song "Smack You" charted at number nineteen of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart before peaking at number four, spending thirteen weeks on the chart, and as a result the album continued to serve as the soundtrack for Season 6 of The Bad Girls Club. "Smack You" was also featured in the "Whats Hot" and "New and Noteworthy" sections on the iTunes Store.
  The multiplatform release was the first co-branded album for Oxygen Media, promoted with an extensive social media campaign hashtagged #UpToNoGood.
  Vertigo Shtick is quoted saying, "Cole's debut full-length is, in short, a triumphant affair that far outshines even the brightest of expectations"
  Cole participated in a viral campaign for Alicia Keys' Keep a Child Alive charity to raise $1 million and awareness for the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa and India, a campaign that attracted celebs such as Katie Holmes, Usher, Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson, Serena Williams, and Jaden and Willow Smith.
  At MTV's VMA Radio Forum, Cole told Celebuzz she would shave her head in support of their Annual Stand up to Cancer event, Cole is quoted saying, "I would absolutely do that. I’m so passionate about my family, my friends. It’s all love. That’s what we’re here for. That’s why we make music," showing her support alongside celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Justin Timberlake, and Taylor Swift, who were in attendance at the annual Stand up to Cancer televised event.
  Cole has graced the covers of magazines such as Ouch, Nouveau, and Fault, and was one of a long list of stars seen on the cover of Fault Magazine's "Millions" issue including those such as Demi Lovato, Usher, Kevin Spacey, and Uma Thurman, just to name a few.
