Katharine McPhee has come a long way since audiences first fell in love with her on American Idol in 2006.
The 27-year-old singer-actress sexes up the March issue of GQ, posing in sexy pink lingerie and peering seductively at the camera from inside a bathtub.

The image coincides perfectly with McPhee's alter-ego on Smash, the new NBC series that pits her against Broadway veteran Megan Hilty. Unlike another heavily-hyped show about aspiring singers, McPhee says Smash has more widespread appeal than Glee.

"I can understand why guys wouldn't be into Glee. You know, that's a pretty heavy musical show," McPhee tells GQ. "That show does, like, six songs in an episode. We'll do, at most, three."

Another reason guys should tune in for McPhee's new NBC series? "What if I tell your readers that in episode five I take off all my clothes?" she jokes. "I mean...no. But can't we just say that?"
Smash premieres at 10 p.m. Monday EST on NBC.

6Gosh. If Kat is a tramp then she deserves an Emmy for portraying the "angel next door". Her sincerity and raw talent poured through the screen and she is finally getting her day in the sun. This is just the beginning for Kat.
Now, honestly, the only way this woman can be a success is to act like a tramp? My answer is "yes". Never liked her, never will. She can't sing and she can't act.
She looks stunning! love her..
I haven't gotten over her memorable rendition of "Over the Rainbow" during her stent on American Idol. Almost better than Judy Garland's.. I wish her well with her new endeavor on the TV screen.
