NBC has been hyping its Broadway-centered musical series Smash since last spring, and the pilot episode finally aired last night following The Voice . The reviews for the Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty vehicle, which follows the lives of two struggling actresses in competition to land the role of Marilyn Monroe on the Great White Way, weren't exactly raves. See what critics had to say below, and then let us know whether you think Smash is a smash or not! [...]

Katharine McPhee's new TV show Smash , a music-filled dramedy about the development of a Broadway musical, premieres tonight on NBC, and she's doing her best to make sure everyone — especially straight men — tune in. Even if it means hoppping into a bathtub and showing off her gams for GQ . That Kat, so generous! Head below for more pics (and video!) of the singer-actress in some red hot lingerie. "I can understand why guys wouldn't be into Glee ," she says, acknowledging the [...]

Though NBC's new music-based show Smash centers around the world of Broadway and has songs penned by actual Broadway composers, don't expect just to hear the characters only sing showtunes. In this new promo, Katharine McPhee (who recently sat down with us for a Career Quiz ) sings a club-ready tune called "Touch Me", written and produced by Top 40 regular Ryan Tedder. Watch Kat perform the song while still in bed (you'll see what we mean) below. The other music-based TV show [...]

Katharine McPhee is anything but predictable. Since her days on American Idol , the Los Angeles-born beauty has tried everything from music and film to television and becoming a blonde (and a pixie one at that). And with her brand-new Steven Spielberg-produced NBC drama Smash about to debut, her star is about to rise even further. We caught up with McPhee recently to discuss a few of her favorite things (her beauty tip truly is a must-see) and to test how well she knows her own path to stardom. Watch below to see [...]

I'm hoping and praying that THIS might be the break Katharine McPhee has so long deserved. I've been a fan of McPhee's since she busted onto the scene as a fresh faced & flawless contestant on season 5 of American Idol . While she may have lost to Taylor Hicks , America will see who the real winner is once Katharine's buzzed about new TV show SMASH [...]

Favorites is our recurring video series on the personal preferences of the pop artists who inspire us. Because the artists we love love stuff too. Katharine McPhee has been working very hard since her days competing on American Idol . The sexy starlet has tackled the recording studio with three albums; the silver screen with roles in films like 2008's The House Bunny and this year's Shark Night 3D ; and now she's on a quest for TV domination with her role in Smash , NBC's new [...]

This one looks promising....and funny as..

Good lord, how much action can possibly be packed into one episode of a reality singing competition? The Voice tested the limits of such a feat last night. There was nothing short of the following: the Top 4 contestants debuting original songs ; the Top 4 performing duets with their coaches; the coaches belting out Queen & David Bowie's classic "Under Pressure"; performances from Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Brad Paisley; a sneak peek at Katharine McPhee's upcoming series Smash ; surprise appearances by Rodney Jerkins and Linda Perry. Read on! [...]

Looks like Katharine McPhee 's move over to Verve back in 2009 was the right move for the American Idol runner up, who released her first holiday album, Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You , on October 12th . McPhee, who made her Verve debut with her sophomore album Unbroken in January has yet to find success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (her debut [...]

• The Innocence Mission - God Is Love
• The Innocence Mission - The Happy Mondays

A great collection of holiday favorites, boasting terrific vocals.

Katharine McPhee 's most recent album Unbroken is most definitely one of my favorite albums recorded by a past American Idol contestant. In fact, I think it's pretty safe to say that McPhee is one of my favorite singers to graduate from the Fox reality series. While her first album was a big, fat flop - both commercially and critically, she more than made up for those Top 40 missteps when recording her Adult Contemporary sophomore follow up. Turns out that Verve was the right place for [...]

HOLD THE PHONE. Katherine McPhee has a Christmas album coming out. It is called Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You , and will include such sexy chart-topping hits as "Jingle Bells," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," and "O Holy Night," as well as the always controversial "White Christmas." Bitch, stop playing around and release "Open Toes" as a single already. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THREE YEARS OLD. That ode to footwear is the greatest song [...]

The inevitable counterpart to the post below? The songs that I've fallen for in the past few days. I'm still very behind--especially when it comes to (gasp!) Eurovision (which I get the impression isn't too impressive this year)--so all recommendations welcomed and appreciated. Kylie Minogue, "All The Lovers" I needed this song last week. Needed it. Still, it's not even June yet, right? Lots of time to enjoy Kylie's return. Orup, "Tiden bara gick" [...]

Ever since Kelly Clarkson broke out of the pack in season 1 of American Idol with a genre-bursting charisma and wonderful performance of "Stuff Like That There," contestants have been searching for that essential "moment" that separates them from their peers. It's the moment that can cement their status as front runners for the title and can give a hint of the brilliance that is to come. Think of Fantasia's "Summertime" or David Cook's "Billie Jean" or Adam Lambert's "Mad World". These songs established them as [...]
