Simon Cowell received a surprise phone call from an old flame this past week on
American Idol. When he was a young player many moons ago, 9-year-old Simon locked lips with a gal named Tara Miller. Girlfriend phoned into the show this week to see if our formidable judge found her performance that day "forgettable" or not.
If you haven't heard, Paula Abdul was part of
the Superbowl festivities this past Sunday. The ex-princess of pop gave a pre-game comeback show and debuted her new single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." The whole shebang was typical Paula — nothing new — but the real question is: what did Simon Scowl think?
