Debut a record-breaking 11 songs in one week on the Billboard Hot 100 — easy.

Embark on a 50-plus date, cross-country tour — done.

Work on a debut disc with heralded rock producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day) and collaborate on tunes with Our Lady Peace's Raine Maida and Collective Soul's Ed Roland — check.

This weekend, Cook reaches another milestone — visiting Houston, where he was born. He'll perform alongside David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, Kristy Lee Cook and the rest of the gang Sunday at Toyota Center.

"That's definitely right up there — to see where I was born and really get a firm memory is something that is really important for me," Cook says, calling from a tour stop in Charlotte, NC.

"I've got a couple family members buried in Houston that I'm hoping to get to see. We moved when I was really little, so I don't really have a lot of memories.

"To be able to get out and kind of see if there are any mental images buried that might resurface as a result of being out there, that's all the stuff I'm excited about getting into."

Earlier this month, Cook donated a white stage jacket to the local Snowdrop Foundation auction, benefiting patients and families at Texas Children's Cancer Center. It sold for $5,000.

David Cook ain't a first timer when it comes to tats—the Idol winner's already got a splattering of body doodlings, including a gray cancer ribbon on his chest for his sick bro, Adam.

I actually think it's hot, as this guy just reeks of what you're not supposed to do, like put your girl's pupils on your veins. Could this also be a drag-queen distortion of an evil eye, all makeup'd up? Or maybe it's additionally Davey-babe's own cornea, eyelined to death while rockin' out onstage?

Dude surely coulda found a random Chinese character or some other cliché hanging on the walls of the tattoo shop to slap on his skin, so bonus points for originality, right? Then again, beauty is in the eye of the very painful

Kansas City area native David Cook has been pulled in endless directions since he was announced as the American Idol in May. He's recording a record, touring and doing lots of interviews. All the while, he's started a new relationship with former Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell.

On Wednesday, Cook wrote a note to fans on his web site. He said he was able to get a day off in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and he was able to rest and relax a little. That rest and relaxation turned into some serious reflection and a 'Thank you' to his fans.
