Ex Idols Dish on Kara—and Chris Brown?

Some behind-the-scenes deets on the Chris Brown-Rihanna sitch from a singer in the know. But first, Paula Abdul had better watch out, 'cause new girl in town Kara DioGuardi's getting rave reviews from former Idol contestants who so wish the songstress had been around when they were on the show.
"I think having a songwriter there is a huge addition," sassed season seven's terrifically tattooed Carly Smithson to us at a recent H'wood do. "She seems really nice as well. Her music is ridiculous! She's got hits everywhere! I would have liked that last year." Guess "Opposite's Attract" wasn't a big enough hit for Carly back in the '90s?
Season one contestant (and ex-sweetie of last year's winner, David Cook) Kimberly Caldwell also exclaimed her amour for the new babe on the block: "I love Kara! I love that she tells Simon to shut up!"
OK, ya love the DioGuardi gal, but who shoulda really been added as judge numero quatro? You'll be surprised at the girl's way-honest answer:
"Me!" suggested Kimmy. "I need a paycheck!"
Me-babe's already got her schedule filled up as the host on P. Diddy's MTV Starmaker show. We tried to get Kim yakkin' about her boss hosting the Chris Brown-Rihanna reunion at his Miami pad, but she wasn't having any of it. Nada. But get this, was her no-no-no approach dumbass, or what?
"I didn't hear anything about that, so I can't comment on it," K.C. yelped, most oddly, as if she actually wants us to believe she's not following all this Chris-Rihanna tragic soap stuff (if you can call criminal behavior a soap opera, which is sure seems to be in this town) like the rest of us.
She did divulge that Did's got the ego, "he's really, really nice" and a good friend. Yeah, if he were a better friend to Rihanna, he woulda kept those two as far apart from one another as possible.
