What happens in Vegas magazine stays in Vegas magazine... and across the pages of The Hollywood Gossip.

Millions of American Idol fans know that Katharine McPhee can sing, but now those unfamiliar with that show are aware that this former contestant can also pose for pictures.

Very sexy pictures.

While Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks have been receiving the bulk of Idol attention these days, it's about time McPhee made her beautiful presence felt again. We'll never understand why anyone voted for Taylor Hicks over Kat in the first place.

A recent FHM poll in which McPhee - and Tricia Helfer, Jenna Jameson and others - was voted one of the sexiest women in the world made far more sense to this celebrity gossip blog.

So, with all due respect to Antonella Barba nude photos, we're glad to see Katharine receiving some mainstream attention for her looks these days.

Anything to get our focus away from a shriveled up Sharon Stone topless.
