She is a good actress. She is certainly know for her role on the Tv show "Nip/Tuck" but that's not the only work she has done. In everyone of her project, she is able to give the character a really great style and to give her best.

She has been highly overused as the, let's say immoral model/actress/adult video star Kimber. They seem to be just grasping at story lines for her, especially these last two seasons. It seems like they are just looking for a place to put her because she happens to be there and throwing in some drama because that is what the show in known for. No quips around the drama at all, not even the drama surrounding her character but she's just so overused on the show I find myself getting really tired of her.

I think she did better in the early seasons of nip tuck. ...Continue »
Kelly Carlson was my favorite when she first appeared on nip tuck. But I think they gave her a kind of bad part. She is trying to do well but the part they gave her really changed here attitude from the first season. But she s doing pretty good. I hope they start giving her better parts. I think they shouod put her in another TV show cause she is going to get arested here in the next episode. I heared she is suposed to be staring in a movie. She will more than likely be good. Cause she is way to hot to be playing a scientology buff.

KELLY KARLSON.. AMAZING ...Continue »
KELLY KARLSON is an amazing actress who if was given a chance to become the star of her own show would just be a success in ratings and would make any network a hit. This girl deserves a lot more attention I think that she is just planning this huge comeback with her own show. I think that a talk show will suit her well like Oprah or something.. but she will be better and richer, she could also comeback as the next Katie Couric or whoever else they have out on day time tv. Well i'm pretty sure that this girl will be a hit for many more years to come and get ready for her to take your televisions by storm.

While the dance-pop and adult contemporary ballads on that record were fresher than the music on AmIdol, Clarkson still hadn't escaped the show's shadow entirely,since it was a,More hit so close to her time on TV, it was easy to pigeonhole her as simply a creation of television, not a popular singer in her own right. So, her second album, Breakaway, released late in 2004, was a pivotal moment for her, a chance to prove that she was not a one-hit wonder, a chance to prove that she could have a real, vibrant career. Happily, Breakaway delivers on that promise.
