AMERICAN IDOL - MCPHEE GOES TO THE MOVIES

MCPHEE GOES TO THE MOVIES

AMERICAN IDOL star KATHARINE MCPHEE is heading to Hollywood after signing up to make her movie debut in romantic comedy THE LAST CALLER. MCPhee, who was runner-up in the U.S. talent show in 2006, will star as a self-obsessed woman searching for love and meaning to her life in the indie film, which she promises is a dark role. The 23-year-old tells Billboard.com, "This is the first thing that I read that I really wanted to do. "I'm up for a couple of big studio projects, but they weren't starring roles. I wanted to start off doing something a little different. "It's something that a lot of people wouldn't expect me doing."
