It’s been a few days since Katharine McPhee’s video for her new single “Had it All” hit the internet and I’d love to know what you think of it. 
I know that she wants to set herself apart so she chopped off those gorgeous brown locks of hers and has opted for a short, blonde hairdo and I’ve got to say that I don’t really love it.  It feels like she’s trying too hard but, then again, maybe I just need to get used to it.
As for the song, it’s not bad but I feel like her voice could …read more

First of all, what do you think of Katharine McPhee’s new look?  Is she rockin’ the blonde hair or not?  You tell me!  I kinda like it but I also don’t want her to go too far reinventing herself, you know?  I have to say that it reminds me a little bit of what Geena Davis looked like in The Long Kiss Goodnight.  Anyone else seeing that?
Anyway, I spotted this video and thought I’d share.  She talked a bit about how her upcoming album Unbroken is different from her first one (Katharine McPhee).  Let me just say really quickly that …read more

The 2009 Teen Choice Awards nominations have been revealed and not only is American Idol (and their former contestants) well represented, but last year’s and this year’s winners and runner-ups will be squaring off yet again.
Check out the nominations.  Who would you like to see win?  I would love to see Adam Lambert take home the prize for “Choice Red Carpet Icon.”  His style stands out way more than his fellow nominees in the categories.

American Idol season 5 runner-up, Katharine McPhee, was seen at the screening of Home which was held at Stella McCartney’s Store last night in West Hollywood, California.
If you haven’t heard of the documentary, don’t worry – neither had I – but it does look like a great film to see.  It is made up of only aerial shots of various places around the world and, apparently, it’s pretty amazing because it shows our planet’s diversity but, also, the negative effect we’ve had on the ecological balance.
Yesterday, the movie was broadcast in 50 different countries simultaneously (a world record!) and it …read more

I saw this video a couple days ago and I seriously cracked up.  American Idol season 5 runner-up, Katharine McPhee, ran into some paparazzi trouble recently and was unexpectedly saved by a homeless woman named Quween.  The video of this rescue is, in itself, pretty amusing.
As if that wasn’t funny enough, the two paired up to create a “Funny or Die” video advertising Quween’s celebrity protection services and, at first, I was mildly amused but I quickly found myself laughing out loud. 
I really hope that Quween gets some money out of all this so that she can get …read more

American Idol winner, Kris Allen, and this year’s runner-up, Adam Lambert, appeared on the Today show with Idol’s musical director, Rickey Minor.  It was a great interview because I really enjoy the camaraderie  between the two artists and I think that their solidarity has done a lot to show how silly it is to get all wrapped up in the “conspiracy theories” that are plaguing this season’s finale.
Kris was asked about how his wife of eight months, Katy, was taking all of the attention he’s now getting and brought up the comment judge, Simon Cowell, made about keeping his …read more

American Idol season 5 runner-up, Katharine McPhee, performed “Somewhere” (which you might recognize best from the West Side Story soundtrack) at the 20th Annual National Memorial Day Concert on the steps of The Capitol in Washington DC. 

It was very emotional as images of a soldier were displayed on a screen behind her and then (I presume) the camera panned to him, as he is today, in the crowd with loved ones. 

SEE MORE PICTURES AFTER THE JUMP!

American Idol season 5 runner-up, Katharine McPhee, will be making a guest appearance on CSI:NY tonight.  You won’t be surprised to learn that she plays a stalker victim (so many end up being stalked in these guest roles).  I’m sure it will be a lot of fun to see her acting on TV instead of singing (no, I did not see The House Bunny).

American Idol season 5 runner-up, Katharine McPhee, was spotted on the set of her upcoming movie Wedlocked, which is also sometimes called You May Not Kiss the Bride.
The film is set to be released sometime this year but, since it is still in production, details (including the title) continue to change.  On the IMDb site, the plot is as follows: “A mobster tries to arrange his daughter to obtain U.S. citizenship by setting her up with a American photographer.”
Hmmm… It does have the potential to be funny.  The cast is rounded out by Mena Suvari, Vinnie Jones, Tia Carrere …read more

Katharine McPhee has signed with jazz label, Verve Records where she joins some great artists like the late Billie Holliday, Queen Latifah, Diana Krall and Blues Traveler (among many, many others).
McPhee is expected to release a new album by the end of 2009 and Verve president/CEO Bruce Resnikoff said: "The album she is working on will show many new sides to her talents as an interpreter and a songwriter, and show everyone just how special she is."
I know Kat’s first (self-titled) album didn’t do as well as she would have hoped but I actually liked some of the songs …read more
