Katharine McPhee: Bye bye, blond?
Katharine McPhee, the "American Idol" runner-up, probably wishes her sophomore album "Unbroken" got as much attention as her new blond frock. The former brunette was on Fox News today where she entertained changing the color - again!"Red, definitely. I was actually thinking black," she says randomly. "Brown, blonde, black!"
Turns out going blond wasn't exactly a calculated move. "Just a crazy moment," says McPhee, 25. "You know, a young girl wants to change up her hair. What's wrong with that?"
We're OK with it, but it seems Katharine may be feeling a bit defensive. She explained what was going on when she made the change.
"I grew up in L.A. It was my town," says McPhee, who grew up in Sherman Oaks, Calif. "So, I sort of pulled myself out of it and took a year and a half for my record. So, I think just out of the new changes of my music, I had a little bit of a physical expression of it."
McPhee also talked about making the record in Nashville, gets a bit flustered when she's asked to intro her band and she performs "Keep Drivin'" from the new album.
Check out the interview below:
Update: McPhee's age has been corrected.

She is one Gorgeous GIRL!
What would possess her to do that to her hair? It is hideous! FYI - the article says she's 22 - not so - she turns 26 in March. Kat - put your hair back the way it was - this sucks.
I love this CD. Way to go, Kat! :)
What part of her is hideous? Me thinks you must be blind. Beautiful on the inside and out!
That blonde looks like a really bad wig!
Hi kat im really glad that you are going back to your BRUNETTTE HAIR!!! i loved your new cd and your voice is so AMAZING, i play it over and over!! LOVE YA, MARGE : )
she looks like Gwen Stefani from the I'm Just a Girl Days.
Her voice is beautiful!
I will admit I've heard her sing only about five times and I didn't start watching Idol until season 8. Regardless, I think she looks 100% better brunette, even though the blonde isn't completely horrendous. As for red or black- please, just no.
She is definitely beautiful and talented....as well as a bit flustered with people's names, no offense but...does she really think that she is THAT famous already to have forgotten the "little people" already? This clip is from
almost 4 months ago and I've never heard this song.You don't know the name of your band members or someone who co-wrote a song with you??Forgetful,vain,nervous or under the influence?? AND she should have gotten a WIG for the album cover (which is BLACK AND WHITE!!!!) instead of going bleach blonde for an album cover that is NOT in color...how kooky is that???
