Katharine McPhee on the Mend

The recovering Katharine McPhee is getting the royal treatment from boyfriend Nick Cokas in preparation for joining her fellow American Idol contestants on tour.

On the shelf with bronchitis and laryngitis, but looking to meet up with the tour group once it reaches Rochester, N.Y., on July 21, McPhee is resting in her native SoCal and being doted upon by the 41-year old actor. He's been taking her out for ice cream and even holding the door for her.

What a gent. Sounds like a decent fellow. Here's hoping Katharine makes a speedy recovery and is able to showcase those singing chops again by the end of the week!
