'American Idol' runner-up Katharine McPhee goes platinum...
At least her hair does. In promoting her new album "Unbroken," "American Idol" season 5 runner-up Katharine McPhee has dyed her trademark long, dark locks bright blonde.
Katharine told People, "My music is a little more edgy so that inspired me to be adventurous. I've never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change. I've always been known as a brunette but I've been thinking about it for a long time and it kind of just fit with all of the searching with the music and experimenting that I would do the same thing with my look."
She went on to say the look has inspired her to be more adventurous in the way she dresses and that she always tries to have a good time. I guess blondes really do have more fun. The sexy black and white photographs showcasing Katharine sporting her new look were shot by former model Ellen Von Unwerth.
"Unbroken" hits the shelves October 6th.

dude, madonna is not a natural blond...
Katherine should worry less about her hair color and more about her market- She made a real "coup" when David Foster took her under his wing and has the oportunity to perform music and with major vocalists that would never have thought about her otherwise- I like her singing- I think she is pretty- but most of all I think she has found her market in adult contemporary- "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"- just my opinion
no one's jealous of britney & madonna,in fact people are sick of them..
I love you Katharine Mcphee my Email basman902009@hotmail.com or beso1990@live.com
