American Idol’s Didi Benami Admits She'd Date Host Date Ryan Seacrest!

EXCLUSIVE! We Called It — ‘American Idol’ Singer Didi Benami Admits ‘I’d Date Ryan Seacrest’!
Wonder what Ryan’s rumored new GF, Julianne Hough, has to say about this?

Uh-oh! Looks like Julianne Hough has some competition for Ryan Seacrest’s affections! We called it during this season of American Idol, and it appears that season 10 contestant Didi Benami WAS as into Ryan as we thought!

“Ryan is really cute,” the 23-year-old singer told HollywoodLife.com exclusively during the American Idol summer tour kickoff in Burbank, Calif. June 17. “I mean, after my contract is over, I would totally date him.”

She continued, “I’d go on a date and see…I think Ryan is really sweet. During the show, nothing was going on. He’s just a real nice guy. I appreciated it.”

Here, Didi’s pal, season 10 runner-up Crystal Bowersox, interjected, “He wasn’t as touchy-feely with me as he was with you. I gotta say that.”

“He knows that I am sensitive and he’s always trying to comfort me, I think,” Didi responded, adding, “He’s really a great person. Great energy, everything. Great smile, cute…I don’t have a crush on him or anything, I’m just saying if he asked me out, I’d probably say yes! In six months when our contracts are over, we’ll see.”

We smell trouble for former Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne, 21, whom the Idol host just took on a romantic stroll on the beach June 13. You’ve got serious competition, lady!

Didi Benami Visits Alex Lambert at the "If I Can Dream" House

After being eliminated from American Idol Season 9, Didi Benami stopped by the "If I Can Dream " house to visit Alex Lambert, have dinner with the cast and answer Twitter questions from her fans.

When asked by a housemate what her favorite part of being on American Idol was, Didi answered, "Getting to perform on that big stage." To which Alex responded "don't mention it." It must have been a touchy subject, as Alex unfortunately never made it that far in the competition.

Didi told the housemates she can't wait to record an album. She "just wants to get her music out there."

Didi received a Tweet asking what was her favorite moment on Idol. Her response? "I really enjoyed meeting Siobhan (Magnus) and Crystal (Bowersox). Those were some of my favorite moments." It's a wonderful thing to hear. All the bright lights and hype of Hollywood won't be able to change what a sweet girl Didi is. Even after spending the last few months in front of the camera, being chased by fans and paparazzi, friendship is the most important thing to Didi Benami.
