This is your (love) life, Simon Cowell! The acerbic American Idol judge got the surprise of his career during the show's Q&A session Wednesday, when a British woman – identified only as Tara, 46, from Petaluma, Calif. – called in and announced to the nationwide audience that she had been Cowell's first kiss. Uncharacteristically flustered, Cowell quickly recognized the voice – asking if she was really Tara Miller, whom he smooched at age 9. It was, indeed. And, later that night, she chatted with People about the fateful pucker. "He'd taken me to the bottom of his garden," said Tara, whose last name is now McDonald-Smith.
