Move over (again) bikini girl: American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi shows off a flawless figure in a new spread for Allure magazine

, and gossip has the pic for you.
DioGuardi told the magazine "this shoot was less about beauty than about taking a risk, and showing people a side of me they never have seen."

OK THAT'S WHAT FAME DOES TO A PERSON BACK TO THE STORY!!!

DioGuardi, who battled with binge eating and depression in her early 20s, said proper dieting techniques have her looking in her best shape ever.

"Back then I was a size 6 or 8; now, I'm more like a size 2," she said. "Food is not what I use to anesthetize myself anymore."

DioGuardi, who appeared in a bikini on the 2009 season finale of American Idol (alongside “Bikini girl” Katrina Darrell), said there was no crash dieting or manic workouts for the shoot -- but she did cut out the salt.
"I can really retain water," she said.
