Simon Cowell’s First Boyhood Crush (Photos, Video)

Posted on: May 2nd, 2008 by: Meg

Simon Cowell was set up on Wednesday night’s elimination round of American Idol. Ryan Seacrest took a few live phone calls from television viewers who had questions for the judges. The third caller identified herself as Tara and her question was for Simon:

Simon, you say that some performances are really forgetable so which of these two performances is the most memorable - your kiss with Paula Abdul or your first kiss with Tara at the bottom of your garden when you were nine years old?”

It turns out that the caller, Tara McDonald-Smith, was Simon’s first girl crush when he was a young boy across the pond. Tara Miller then, she shared with Access Hollywood that a group of kids used to play spin the bottle and she frequently ended up kissing Cowell, who she acknowledged was smooth even as a boy.

It turns out McDonald-Smith is divorced and lives in Petaluma, California with her three children. When asked if she would consider kissing Cowell again, she responded that she would not because he already has a girlfriend. Check out photos of Simon and Terri Seymour in Barbados.
