We had to laugh at this article we found on Hollywood Life… They’re suggesting that Didi’s got the “hots” for American Idol host Ryan Seacrest based on Didi’s body language. They even call in an expert to validate their claim.
The article reads:
“Wow, Didi – from the looks of your body language, you’ve got a thing for Idol’s host with the most. And guess what? An expert agrees with us!
Before Didi Benami got roasted by Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi, Randy Jackson and Ellen DeGeneres on American Idol March 3, she seemed downright giddy. Why, you may ask? Well, we have our suspicion – and his name is Ryan Seacrest!
Watch this video footage of Didi, 23, flirting hard with the 35-year-old Idol host and tell us you don’t think she’s majorly crushing!
And if you don’t agree with us, well, take it from an expert: Didi has got the major hots for Mr. Seacrest. “I definitely think she’s into Ryan!” body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass tells HollywoodLife.com. “There are a ton of flirtatious tells here: her shoulder shrug, leaning in towards him, hair-tossing, looking him right in the eyes, giggling a lot, and her shoulders are even a little rounded.”
But is Ryan interested in Didi? Sorry Charlie, but Dr. Glass says no! “He did not respond,” she tells us. “He was totally professional.” “
Ok. We watched the live show on TV and we watched it again on replay. We didn’t see anything ‘extraordinary,’ if anything it was Ryan whom we noticed who was overly touchy with Didi (around 6:29 and towards the end :29 in the video). We thought Didi was just being a bit self-conscious and nervous because of the whole pre-interview thing prior to her performance.

When the expert says: “her shoulder shrug, leaning in towards him, hair-tossing, looking him right in the eyes, giggling a lot…” as signs of flirting, couldn’t that also show that Didi is merely adjusting and balancing her actions so she could appear charming, interested in the moment, while hiding the fact that she is set to perform within minutes and she’s got butterflies in her stomach?
The post is also using two totally different terms here: crushing and flirting. Teenagers along with the writer of the article, use the term as though they mean the same. Informally it could be, technically it isn’t. Given that, we’d go toward Didi ‘flirting’ with Ryan- BUT not flirting “hard” as the article suggests.
We absolutely do not think Didi has a crush or is ‘crushing’ on Ryan Seacrest. Crushing is what teenage girls do, flirting is more fitting behavior for young adults. And what’s wrong with flirting? Flirting is healthy. It releases endorphins that gives us an instant feel-good, happy moment. It makes us feel alive inside! Everyone should try flirting now and then.
