KARA DIOGUARDI SAYS SIMON COWELL IS NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY — LIKE A SCHOOLKID!
Posted by Adam
KARA DioGuardi insists she isn’t scared of her fellow American Idol judge Simon Cowell – because she’s “feisty” and more than happy to give as good as she gets.
Speaking to Women’s Health magazine, Kara likened Simon to a naughty schoolboy.
“Oh, he’s naughty, naughty, naughty!” she said of Cowell. “He’s that guy who was a year in front of you in school, who had that smile that was so captivating, but if you went there, he would eat you alive.
“He’s funny and quick-witted. At times, we disagree, but I dish it right back at him, because I’m from New York and I’m feisty.”
“I can be tough,” she added, “but I can also be nurturing. It’s hard to be critical with young people. You don’t want to disappoint them, but you also don’t want to send them down a path when you know they won’t be successful.
Kara, 39, then dismissed rumors of rivalry between herself and former Idol judge Paula Abdul.
“Paula and I are friends, and she’s been a huge help to me,” she said. “I like strong women, and Paula is a fighter. It’s great that there are times on the show now where you see girl power.”
Kara recently insisted she doesn’t regret showing off her bikini body on the previous season of Idol.
“It probably saved my job,” she said. “It was a defining moment. Like: ‘She’s serious and industry, but also as kooky as everyone else on this panel.’”
DioGuardi added that she was never keen on stripping off to her bikini in the first place.
“I kept saying no,” she confessed. “I mean, what crazy nut is gonna go out there in a bikini at almost 40 years of age against a girl who is 20 and probably cosmetically enhanced? I looked a little pasty. But hey, at least I didn’t wet myself!”
