Now, when Corey Clark was banging Paula Abdul, we heard about it immediately. Well, not immediately, but very quickly.

But today this story comes out:

In tomorrow's issue of People magazine, Katharine McPhee (who looks like a sex kitten in the photo spread) talks about a five-year battle with bulimia. She says that her audition for American Idol is what turned it all around for her. After she learned she was "going to Hollywood", she enrolled at the Eating Disorder Center of California in LA. For three months, she went there six days a week for group and individual therapy. McPhee says the pressures of growing up in Los Angeles and her years in dance classes made her self conscious about her body image. Interestingly, she was 30 pounds heavier when she auditioned for Idol than she was when we saw her last season. She says, her lessons about "intuitive eating" are what helped her lose the weight. Katharine even goes so far as to tell People, "American Idol saved my life."

By the way. Did anyone else know that Katharine, 22, has a boyfriend who's 41?


So, the girl spends 3 months getting treated for an eating disorder AFTER subjecting herself to the American Idol panel and preparing to go to Hollywood to get judged by millions? How the fuck was THAT going to help her bullemia?

And why did this story not come out sooner? It's not like no one could find her name on the rolls at Pritican's west coast office.

Oh, and you can also put her down in the creepy Tonya Harding category because of her 41 year old boyfriend. The only reason this is better (unless their hiding something else) is that Harding's "boyfriend" was the married older man her parents paid to be her manager. You know, to have her best interests at heart and to do what was best for her and the family and to protect their daughter.

I'm sure dad appreciates the fact that he paid a married old dude to bang his daughter.

Thumbs up!!
