The woman behind the Cowell blush

Okay, so I loved, loved, loved the fact that Simon was taken off guard last night on American Idol and actually blushed, it was pretty sweet. The woman who was his first crush and first kiss as a 9-year-old boy lived next door to him when he was growing up and often played spin the bottle with Simon and a group of friends. Awww, sweet. Sounds like some good pre-teen lovin' or a night at Miley's house.

The lady's name is Tara McDonald-Smith and is a 46-year-old married mother of three living in California. Wanna see her and read more of the story, check it out here.
