Katharine McPhee

She's dating an older man (41-year old Nick Cokas) and pretending to be pregnant on screen - but that doesn't mean Katharine McPhee is ready have a bun in her actual oven just yet.

"I [do] definitely want to have a baby, and it's fun to just pretend and look in the mirror," McPhee told Entertainment Tonight this week about wearing a fake bump to shoot House Bunny. "I think it'll probably hold me off a bit on having a baby.

"Today is the first day I'm wearing the prosthetic belly, which wraps all the way around [to] my back, and it's actually really comfortable," the American Idol runner-up added.

The hopeful actress, who told People that she's wearing Nicole Kidman's hand-me-down bump to film the Adam Sandler comedy, also said: "I'm really enjoying it. It's hot and sweaty though, but it's like Method acting."

We're guessing Nicole Richie is wishing she could say the same thing. And so does the unborn child that will soon have this celebrity and Joel Madden as her parents.

Meanwhile, McPhee's costar in the film, Rumer Willis, is having her own troubles with cumbersome costumes. An almost nude picture of the actress wearing just a dunce cap and silver back brace was leaked last week.

"I keep bumping into people and having to apologize to everyone," Willis said. "It's fun though ... I'm just really grateful for the opportunity."

Katharine McPhee blows.

No, we don't mean she sucks.

Nor are we referring to any sort of oral sex moments along the lines of another former American Idol contestant, Antonella Barba.

We mean this literally: Katharine McPhee is blowing in the photos below. Or, to be more specific, her dress is. Unlike Britney Spears and a host of other young Hollywood women desperate for attention, however, this beauty knows how to rock a pair of underpants.

Amazing, isn't it? 

The singer who never should have finished second to Taylor Hicks is seen here in a flesh colored bodysuit on the L.A. set of the upcoming Untitled Anna Faris Project. Yes, that's the same movie that depicts a half-nude Rumer Willis in a dunce cap.

We can't wait to see it!

As much as we wish to see Katharine McPhee naked, we're proud of this classy lady for not giving us a glimpse of her romantic region.

Unlike Gemma Atkinson nude - who has to shed her clothes just to remain in celebrity news headlines - McPhee can allow talent to carry her.

After a stunning pictorial in Stuff magazine, readers have been clamoring for Katharine McPhee nude photos.

We're sorry to say we haven't come across any yet, but the pics below prove that Britney Spears isn't the only celebrity who can flash her goodies from time to time.

Of course, with Britney Spears crotch shots, there's rarely any underwear involved.

Fortunately for kids watching Jay Leno last week, though, this American Idol runner-up did remember her undergarments. But we doubt she had planned on showing them off to viewers at home.

During a performance of her new song "Love Story," the woman who should have knocked off Taylor Hicks got a bit carried away during the rendition. There were no Paris Hilton pussy-like mishaps, but there was this revealing still shot:

Katharine McPhee bounces away during a recent performance.

No doubt about it, McPhee is hot. Next to the recent Heidi Klum nude pics in Arena magazine, these are some of our favorite celebrity photos from the week.

Here's a pairing almost as strange as Brandon Davis and, well, any attractive female:

Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis will be co-starring in an upcoming film, courtesy of Adam Sandler's Happy Madison productions.

In the as-yet-untitled comedy, the American Idol runner-up from a year ago and Willis will have to muster all their acting skills in order to play "sisters" in the "lamest sorority on campus," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Their distinctive characteristics?

McPhee will be a pregnant hippie and Willis a woman unwilling to remove an unnecessary back brace. Seems odd to us. But so did Ashton Kutcher ogling his step-daughter.

In addition to the Happy Madison project, both McPhee and Willis have other acting gigs lined up. Katharine has committed to indie dark-romantic-comedy The Last Caller, and Willis will join Mischa Barton and her Die Hard dad Bruce in dark comedy The Sophomore.

Of course, after her recent sexy photo shoot in Stuff magazine, fans don't care about future movies; they just wanna see Katharine McPhee nude. Sorry, folks, we don't have those pics right now.

Katharine McPhee is gorgeous.

A recent poll placed McPhee above beauties such as Tricia Helfer, so this isn't exactly groundbreaking news. But it's nice to be reminded with the pictures below, isn't it?

The second-place finisher on last year's American Idol has one thing in common with this year's runner-up, Blake Lewis: neither are hard on the eyes.

And perhaps Blake should turn his attention away from Jordin Sparks or Antonella Barba and onto this talented singer. Here are excerpts from an interview McPhee recently gave Stuff magazine:

On being McNaughty and McNice:
"There are different sides of me. On American Idol, people saw the side that is very professional and put together. But there's this other side of me that's outgoing, energetic, and wildâ€"and did really stupid things in college."

On dating older men (her boyfriend, Broadway actor Nick Cokas, is 42):
"When I turned 21, I thought it was a good age to explore. You're no longer a teenager, so it's OK [to date older guys]. I gravitated toward them, and I love them. They're just wiser, and they're less about themselves and more about you."

On her new album cover:
"People made a big deal out of that. They said, ‘She's a slut, blah, blah, blah.' But I'm really not showing that much skin. It's all suggested."

* The Hollywood Gossip note: it's okay, Katharine. Those people were probably just referring to Lindsay Lohan.

On what younger men need to know about women:
"Women sometimes act out, and men get frustrated. They don't get that all we want is, for a few seconds, for you to be all about the girl - to snuggle her and give her kisses and tell her ‘Your lips are so pretty today. I love your lips.'"

On being popular with the fellas:
"I was prematurely developed. As a freshman I looked like a junior; I had boobs. Some of the older kids saw me in the yearbook and said I was cute."

On settling down:
"Oh yeah. I want to have, like, 15 babies. I've always wanted to be pregnant. One year for Halloween, I decided to be pregnant, so I got this nun costume, and I put a big belly under it. I showed my parents and said I want to go to school as a pregnant nun. My dad sat me down and said, "Katharine, you can't!"

Oh, but Nicole Richie can!

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.

As the world shows love to this year's second place finisher on American Idol, Blake Lewis, the runner-up from last season is feeling awfully lonely.

We don't know why. Katharine McPhee is quite gorgeous and talented.

While scores of American Idol alums turned out to partake in this year's season finale, McPhee was as absent from the festivities as Britney Spears is from any semblance of normalcy.

Although fellow Season 5 competitors Elliot Yamin, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry all returned for guest spots this season, McPhee was missing from the rundown â€" and it was not by choice.

"Katharine called them herself, trying to get on the [finale]," a source close to the singer tells Us Magazine. "She's really hurt."

Not as hurt as Aubrey O'Day probably is that we compared her to an Oompa Loompa. But still.

Of course, Kat wasn't the only former Idol who got dissed. When Sony/BMG president Clive Davis addressed the TV audience, he made sure to plug Hicks' new single, but failed to mention Kelly Clarkson's latest single or her forthcoming CD, My December, over which the two have reportedly butted heads.

McPhee's rep could not be reached and Fox had no comment, but we want McPhee to know that she's welcome to perform on any concert sponsored by The Hollywood Gossip.

The next one scheduled is the Lindsay Lohan Rehab Rock 'n Roll Fest.

This just in: Tricia Helfer is sexy.

Fans of Battlestar Gallactica - and hot women in general - are shocked by that, we know.

But it's now official: the actress has been listed at #63 on FHM magazine's ranking of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World.

Who joined this blonde goddess?

Model Marisa Miller was considered the tenth hottest babe. Here are a few more from the poll:

88. Rachel Bilson. She's moved beyond Summer Roberts and The OC by now. And while she may be in the arms of Hayden Christensen, she's also in the hearts of men everywhere.

65. Megan Fox. Will star in this summer's blockbuster, Transformers. May also star in the fantasy of many men after this quote: "I have the libido of a 15-year-old boy. My sex drive is so high. I'd rather have sex all the time than leave the house."

37. Jenna Jameson. Yes, a porn star can still be sexy.

Even when the mystery of Jenna Jameson nude is pretty much gone at this point. Helping this hottie's cause? She has been rumored to have had a sexual tryst with Jenny McCarthy.

21. Christina Aguilera. Remember when there was a debate between her and Britney Spears?

Seriously, we weren't sure who was sexier a couple years ago. Now, though? Let's just say we're very jealous that Jordan Bratman gets to see Christina Aguilera nude every Sunday.

2. Katharine McPhee. With apologies to Haley Scarnato and Antonella Barba, this is the true American Idol beauty.

While Taylor Hicks may have somehow beat her out as last year's champion, few top Katharine McPhee in the looks department.

1. Jessica Alba. We agree. Damn that Cash Warren.

Paris Hilton likes to go doggy style. That we know.

But for some other stars, canine love doesn't necessarily translate into being a dirty slut. Which is good to see. Check out the cute pictures of stars and dogs below!

TOP ROW: Former American Idol finalist Katharine McPhee (left) cradles her chihuahua, Nina, at The Grove in L.A., while Zodiac star and certified hottie Jake Gyllenhaal takes a wander with his pups - Atticus and Boo Radley - on the beach. Jake may not be a fan of boxers or briefs, but apparently, he is a fan of To Kill a Mockingbird!

BOTTOM ROW: Her workouts in West Hollywood are strenuous, but that doesn't mean Fergie (left) can't paws (eh?) to play with a furry friend. Meanwhile, Jessica Simpson goes for an afternoon ride with her bitch in L.A. No, not John Mayer. At least he's not in the picture. We're talking about adorable little Daisy! Aww.

Katharine McPhee has big boobs.

The Hollywood Gossip staff could tell this simply by looking at a picture of the singer in a low-cut dress. Apparently, though, Tyra Banks needed to actually feel for herself.

The talk show host recently welcomed last year's American Idol runner-up to the program with your basic squeeze of the breasts. McPhee looks a tad caught off guard, doesn't she? Perhaps she expected a handshake...

We're afraid to think about what CariDee English received from Tyra for winning America's Top Model.

Anyway, McPhee can at least take comfort in the fact that this is far from the most humilating picture of a former or current American Idol contestant to hit the Internet today.

Antonella Barba probably wishes she were caught having her chest investigated by Banks. As opposed to, you know, going down on some random dude.
