“American Idol’s” Kara DioGuardi goes nude for Allure Magazine

Kara DioGuardi has come on the music and tv scene since starting her role as a judge on the hit show “American Idol.” She is often found flirting with Simon Cowell, but she always comes across as a genuinely warm and heartfelt person who is always there to pick up the contestants after they often get slammed by Cowell. While she looks like the typical type who has everything, her own songs, records, and a gig on America’s popular show, there was a time in her life when things didn’t look so bright, and in fact very bleak.

In the new Allure magazine issue she appears naked from top to bottom. While this seems very surprising from the always cheery judge, she is aiming at an attempt to show the world the darker side of her. When she was in her 20’s she suffered from an eating disorder and now she is willing to bare it all to overcome it.

The Hollywood Gossip reports that the article says DioGuardi states, “This shoot was less about beauty than about taking a risk and showing people a side of me they never have seen. Back then I was a size 6 or 8; now I’m more like a size 2. Food is not what I use to anesthetize myself anymore.”

We think she looks amazing!
