Katharine McPhee Gears Up To Re-Boot Her Career
Some of you might remember Katharine McPhee as the girl that sang a stirring rendition of “Over The Rainbow” and lost to Taylor Hicks on American Idol in 2006. Some of might remember her as the girl that sang a cheesy mid-tempo pop tune called “Over It” and tried to channel Beyonce in her “Love Story” video. And others might simply know her as the cute pregnant girl from that Anna Faris movie House Bunny. But unilke many other American Idol contestants (some who’ve actually won) whose careers have fallen by the wayside, McPhee seems determined to be a star.
She and legendary songwriter/producer David Foster are working on a new album to follow up her barely successful debut album (which I moderately enjoyed), she’s guest-starring on an episode of CSI: New York that airs tonight, she’s slated to star in a film called Storyteller with Jesse Spencer from House and right now she’s filming a romantic comedy with Dave Annable of Brothers & Sisters.
In the movie, Katharine plays the daughter of a Croatian mobster (‘Borat’ star Ken Davitian) who tries to obtain U.S. citizenship by setting her up with an American photographer (Dave Annable of ‘Brothers & Sisters’). Of course, the pair begin to fall in love, much to the chagrin of her father. Mena Suvari and Vinnie Jones also star in the comedy, written and directed by Rob Hedden. The film is produced by Hawaii Film Partners.
While promoting her first album, she took a stab at trying to embrace her gay fans, but unfortunately was unable to make it to the Campus Thursdays event at New York’s Splash Bar. She sent the guys a video message apologizing for not being able to show up.
The movie comes out sometime next year. But considering how quickly people forget stars these days, I hope she manages to be able to keep the public’s attention until then.
Here’s an Entertainment Tonight feature about the movie. I’m a sucker for a good romantic comedy (though I can’t remember the last one that was actually good.).
When are you going to get real and see that Katharine McPhee with her FAKE hairdo’s, her FAKE boobs,and her FAKE personality will never amount to anything than a American Idol has been.

Barbara, really, fake this and fake that. Sounds like jealousy to me. If you hate McPhee so much, why are you taking the time to comment about her on blog you’ve probably never visited before? You are a typical hater who spends too much time and energy on the focus of your hate.

To the blogger Chris Evans, thanks for blogging about Kat. She was very fortunate to get signed by Universal’s Verve label. Hopefully, she’ll continue to put out good music and enjoyable movies.

Thanks for writing about Kat, Chris! It’s always nice to see people take an interest in her. She did perform at TigerHeat (although it’s in LA)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ0fFFv79MQ
