Katharine McPhee Catches Movie Fever!
American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee is successfully riding Jennifer Hudson's coattails, parlaying her singing career into an acting gig. In the untitled flick, McPhee makes her acting debut playing a pregnant hippie.
The comedy stars Anna Faris, who plays the Playboy bunny who gets the boot from the Playboy Mansion and becomes the house mother for the worst sorority on a college campus. Also in the film is rising paparazzi magnet Rumer Willis, the teenage daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
The film marks the first female-driven comedy to come out of Columbia Pictures and Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Production company. The script is by Legally Bonde writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and is their second film that deals largely with sorority sisters.
As for Mcphee, this film isn't the only acting gig she has to look forward to. The pop tart has also inked a deal for a part in the The Last Caller, a dark romantic-comedy independent film.
