American Idol’s Kara DioGuardi speaks to the April 2010 issue of Women’s Health magazine. The 38-year-old talent show judge stars on the cover and explains how her stunt on last season’s finale, when she stripped down to a bikini and sang with Bikini Girl (real name Katrina Darrell), changed her life.
“It probably saved my job. It was a defining moment. Like, ‘She’s serious and industry, but also as kooky as everyone else on this panel.’ 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!” [People]
So, she’s saying that flashing her well-aged goodies changed her career. After the stunt the women’s lifestyle/ men’s magazine offers started to come in. Indecent exposure in front of large crowds of people, on TV, can change your life for the better. How could I exploit this new knowledge to my own ends… hmm…
American Idol 2008 season finale: Bikini Girl Katrina Darrell and Kara Dioguardi.
She didnt’ wet herself.
But half of us watching did…from laughter.
I think the look on bikini girl’s face, as she’s being sung off the stage, is the funniest thing from that video.
