Going To The Chapel

Filed under: American Idol

American Idol alum Katharine McPhee, 23, and her daddylike-boyfriend, Z-list actor Nick Cokas, 42, are engaged!

Clay Aiken will be the bridesmaid and Julia D'Amato will do some stripper dance.

McPhee and Cockas have been dating for two years. They met pre-Idol when they starred in a play together.

Do people even care about Katharine any more????

Her recording career bombed! So did that Taylor Hicks!

Daughtry is laughing all the way to the bank.

you know the soul patrol will be all over this one and proudly. what constitutes success…selling your soul perez? taylor isn't mainstream, never was mainstream. his music is doing just fine and he just finished a successful MOSTLY SOLD OUT tour (awesome concert!) and he's now writing his second album. CHECK OUT TAYLORHICKS.COM and stop dissing the man!

and daughtry might be laughing all the way to the bank, but COUNTRY MUSIC carrie underwood is HYSTERICAL.

Still can't figure out if she's hot or not. No doubt she had the worst publicist in the world. Forever she'll be known as "that girl from American Idol with anorexia." Nice one.

First, Bitches. I was once with a 60 year old Mongolian woman in the Russian tundra. She kept me warm with her body. We rocked that seal skin for days. Then she fed me baby seal and I left. That was the day before yesterday. Now, I'm here, bitches, to tell you I'm first, first, first. And you're not, not, not, Bitches.

Who cares? All that doesn't change the fact that she has a beautiful voice.
Joseph M says – reply to this

22

Yes, some people still care about Katharine.
She just signed a new record contract with Warner Brothers records. David Foster is producing her next CD.
And it wasn't a total failure. She had 2 music videos in heavy rotation on MTV. Taylor Hicks didn't even have that! LOL!

Dumb girl. Without him she could have been popular and had a successful career, with him she is just a caretaker. I didn't even know he was an actor. What has he been in? He is 42 now and that is old to be getting started.

I love older men. Most are very experienced and know how the female body needs to be touched. Good for Katharine.

wide stance says – reply to this

39

what is your problem with her? she seems like a really normal person with a real talent. quite different from the current string of losers around her age in the media, wouldn't you agree?
JV says – reply to this

40

Ugh…She's mad insecure. Anorexia and now a high mileage husband? Katherine, you're not Celine Dion! You're a talented celebrity and a hottie…..you can get a hotter younger man that will be good to you. Don't take on a single older man's baggage….ex wives, kids, debt, possible criminal record. If non of that applies, he's just an asshole who can't keep a woman. But an old asshole can easily fool a young insecure female.
Bill says – reply to this

Well this pic was from the set of her first movie with Anna Farris and produced by Adam Sandler so I guess someone cares about her.

BTW so does the NFL and Fox. She is singing the national anthem for the Detroit/Green Bay game on Thanksgiving. And Christmas in Washington on Dec 12th.

Katharine looks so cute and happy in that picture you posted there. She is a doll. But, alas, Mr. Nick always looks like an effeminate tool, but whatever floats McPhee's boat, I guess. Congrats, to them!

Fuck you, Perez. The true question is who gives the fuck about you? You're just bitter that no one wants to marry your sorry gay ass.

Katharine owns you.
Mason says – reply to this

You are right perez. Her career bombed.

Thats why she is starring in a movie with Ana Farris and Andam Sandler.

CoCoChanel says – reply to this

56

I wouldn't say her career has tanked. She had that song "Over It" which I still like. She just needs to come out with better songs next time. She's definitely a B or C-list star but she's still young and attractive and she doesn't get into trouble so I think she'll be around the Hollywood scene for at least a few more years.

SHES FUCKINF CRAZY IF SHE MARRYS THE 42 YEARL MAN… SHES GOING TO BE CHANGING HIS DIAPER VERY SOON………..IT WONT LAST IT WONT BITCHES
Lizzy says – reply to this

58

She still really has a chance, if you ask me. She's young, incredibly beautiful, and she does have talent. Her CD was a disappointment, she went against what her fans expected/loved from her, really, but it wasn't a total bomb either. She could turn around and come out with some hits still, or get into acting. I still love her. :p She's goofy, sweet, and really hot.

62

the annoying bulemic chic from american idol.
my money is on them lasting…
she's unstable and finally found a guy that'll follow her around and tell her she's pretty.
he's an aging wannabe, latching on to his last chance at even making the z-list.
if he's really into girls, then she's good for another 10 years.
JMM1000 says – reply to this

First off age doesnt matter! And second off Katharine's career didn't bomb!!!!!! She is doing amazing! She is going to have 3 movies out, one of which will be in thearters! so you better go see it! Nick and her are perfect for each other!

Got through reading this whole page, and now my head hurts. I think my IQ might've dropped a few dozen points. :/ Anyhoo, Perez, pumpkin', why did you bother steal… ERR! "borrowing" this scoop if people supposedly don't care about her anymore? Kinda makes no sense to me. But then again, the whole Perez thing has me befuddled.

daisy says – reply to this

72

I still care about her! Actually i wouldnt say her recording career "bombed". She had 2 music videos out that were on MTV a lot and Over it was played quite a bit on the radio. She's doing a new movie produced by Adam Sandler, so I'd say that she has a lot ahead of her. She's not done yet perez! However, eww about her fiance lol

Daughtry is owned by Gay Clive Davis. Kat and Taylor were smart to get away from him.
cynth says – reply to this

86

I actually know katharine and she is intelligent and not obsessed with being with the guy everyone else wants. She has her own taste and her own convictions. To any and all who are just talking shit because you think you have some genius take on life and how to live it need to realize not everyone is as shallow or miserable as you.

I actually know Katharine. "Intelligent" is definitely not a word that I would use to describe her. I'll leave it at that, thanks for the laugh.

Stop trying to pit the Hicks/Daughtry/McPhee fans against one another just to get comments on your slimy blog. Outside of a few losers on the message boards, most of their fans have moved on from that crap.

LOL at Katharine fans thinking she didn't flop. Everybody from American Idol 5 flopped except Daughtry. Taylor, Kat, Elliott, etc. are all flops!

I care. From what I can tell she is a lovely and beautiful person both inside and out. I hope she has a very successful career in film and music ( I hear she is starting work on a new album).

Perez, she is the only reason I even bothered to come to this stupid website of yours.

Daughtry is the big star of S5 but Elliott, Pickler and Bucky have all done well. The only flops were Taylor and Kat. Don't hold you breath waiting for her "movies" to come out either.

This post is just unnecessary and immature

woj says – reply to this

97

Hey #97, if by "people" you mean the ones of the female variety, then you're right. The majority of the shallow, "catty" comments on here have female usernames beside them. No big surprise there, IMNSHO.
shelter says – reply to this

98

#98- That's sexist to label "the female variety" as catty. You do realize Kat is of "the female variety".
Sure, there still are some fans that are continuing this competion way too long. I watch AI and enjoyed S5 the most. S5 had alot of talent and likable contestants.
To make it the entertainment industry it helps to be likable; such as Elliott, Bucky, Chris Daughtry and Kelly Pickler. Unfortunately, Kat seems to be missing that factor.
A good song and desire to tour would also help her.
woj says – reply to this

To #99 "shelter": Thank you dahlin' for proving my point! A fine job you did of it too.

Re: michelle –

Taylor has the second highest number of CD's sold from Season 5, so he is not a flop.
