Too bad Smash was cancelled but it wasn't doing as much for her career as I'd hoped. Hopefully she focuses on the new album now.

Smash put her back on the map, but she's gotta do something with this regained relevance before I'd say it actually helped her career. Hopefully a new album can remedy that.

So many of the songs Katherine recorded on Smash sound like they could be CHR smashes. I hope she releases something really soon.

This album sounds legendary. I'm interested in what she cooks up with Linda Perry & Salaam Remi.

I'm nervous about her working with Calvin Harris and creating an album based off a sound that's making its way OUT of pop radio. I'm hoping for some more R&B-ish/Pop ("Neglected") or pop-rock ("Keep Drivin").

Singing superstar Katharine McPhee headlines Symphony at Salk on August 24Recording artist and actress to take the stage at Institute's premier celebration June 14, 2013 LA JOLLA, CA—On Aug. 24, 2013, multi-talented singer Katharine McPhee will step into the spotlight as the featured headliner for the 18th annual "Symphony at Salk-a concert under the stars" to perform with the San Diego Symphony and acclaimed guest conductor Maestro Thomas Wilkins. Symphony at Salk is one of the cultural highlights of the summer in San Diego and an annual sell out. The Institute's signature gala, held in the iconic Theodore Gildred Court, offers a one-of-a-kind concert experience, where the audience takes in spectacular sunset views overlooking the Pacific Ocean as they enjoy a gourmet dinner and watch the evening's musical performance. Individual tickets for Symphony at Salk go on sale July 8, 2013 for $250 and can be purchased on the Symphony at Salk website or by calling 858-597-0657. Sponsorship packages range from $2,500 to $75,000. For additional ticket or sponsorship information, please visit the website at www.salk.edu/symphony or e-mail: symphony@salk.edu. Funds raised from the event directly support the Institute's leading edge scientific research and award-winning community education programs. This year, Salk introduced the new high-level Zenith sponsorship opportunity that invited donors to either underwrite the featured artist or Symphony orchestra with a $100,000 gift. Salk trustees Conrad Prebys and Frederik Paulsen-both well-known philanthropists and patrons of art and music-generously responded. Prebys, owner of Progress Construction Company and a developer of real estate enterprises in California and Texas, is the exclusive underwriter of the Symphony. Paulsen, Chairman of Ferring International, is the sole title sponsor to underwrite McPhee. Guest artist Katharine McPhee, an award winning singer and popular actress from the television series SMASH, gained fame as a standout contestant on the fifth season of the Fox reality show American Idol, where she impressed audiences and judges alike with her stunning voice. McPhee was quickly signed to RCA Records, where her first single, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/My Destiny," debuted at number two on Billboard's Hot Singles Sales chart. She followed that success with her self-titled debut album, which exploded onto the Billboard 200 chart in 2007, and was ranked the best chart debut for a female artist in two years. The album went gold in 2008. In 2009, McPhee garnered a Young Hollywood Award for Best Female Vocalist. She spent 2010 touring the country with her album Unbroken, which included the hit single "Had It All." McPhee is currently signed with Columbia Records and later this year will release her first album for the studio, featuring her collaborations with some of the industry's top songwriters. In addition to her musical accomplishments, McPhee has embarked on a successful acting career that began when she nabbed a part on the popular web series, lonelygirl15 and then went on to star in episodes of CSI: NY, CommunityThe Family Guy and several movies, including The House Bunny and You May Not Kiss the Bride before landing a lead role on the NBC series SMASH. She was also featured in two hit PBS specials, Foster and Friends and Chris Botti in Boston, alongside Sting, Andrea Bocelli and John Mayer. McPhee is a passionate philanthropist and serves as the celebrity ambassador for Malaria No More (www.mcpheeoutreach.org).

That poor writer for that press release- having to fill two paragraphs with McPhee's "accomplishments". Here's hoping for some smash hit records in the near future.

I think they meant that her single off of the album went Gold (which it did) -- "Over It".

Caught making out with the married-with-three-kids director of Smash. Stay classy, Kat. KStew did it better.

I like Kat, but I'm extremely disappointed she would do something as classless as kiss a married man, let alone in plain sight. Her career isn't doing much as it it; she might as well kiss what little hope she MIGHT have left goodbye.
Still like her, but I've lost a lot of respect for her over this.
Sigh.

I skim read the TMZ article, not condoning it, but didn't it say Kat and homeboy were both separated? Surely that would explain why they were smooching in such plain sight?

According to media reports, Kat has been separated from Nick for over six months, but Micheal Morris has been married for ten years, and his wife was blindsided. Something still seems fishy here, though. Why would they kiss in full view of any passerby, when they're both public figures and anybody could catch them sneaking around? And if they were having an affair, why would they (presumably), manage to keep it well hidden, until it just so happens they're stupid enough to makeout in a parking lot? Something doesn't add up here. Plus, consider when LeAnn Rimes affair came out; those photos were, grainy and of awful quality. But these photos are very high-quality, and they were obviously not snatched smooching by some random person with a cellphone camera. I'm not saying this was setup, but something seems off here. I don't think they'd be so careful as to not be caught, and then suddenly they just start making out in public and high quality photos would surface days later.

^I felt this was staged from the jump. There's nothing "accidental" about any of those photos.

Way too fishy, it looks like a couple in public showing each other affection. I don't see them trying to hide.

Katharine McPhee Is No Longer Seeing Michael Morris: SourceBy AILI NAHAS 11/14/2013 at 07:20 AM EST It's been a rough fall for Katharine McPhee. On Oct. 22, the former American Idol finalist was caught in a lip-lock with Michael Morris, who directed her in the now-canceled NBC musical series Smash – even though both were married to other people. Now, a McPhee source tells PEOPLE, "Katharine is no longer seeing Michael – at least for now." In fact, the actress' marriage to Nick Cokas, her husband since 2009, is still in a state of limbo. Despite the fact that McPhee, 29, and Cokas have been separated for months, "Katharine still has no plans to move forward with divorce at the moment, though they are not living together," adds the source. Meanwhile Morris's wife, former In Plain Sight star Mary McCormack, prefers to keep her focus on her daughters – Lillian, 2, Rose, 6½, and Margaret, 9. "Mary is a strong woman," a second source tells PEOPLE. "Her dedication to her children will remain her focus and gift.” Amid all the uncertainty, one thing is true, says the McPhee source: "This is an incredibly hard time for Katharine."
