Is it possible that getting beaten by golden-voiced gray-haired Taylor Hicks in last season's American Idol has made Katharine McPhee so insecure that she would consider joining Hollywood's religion of the moment just to impress a man?

That's what she told Salon.com recently in an interview where she admitted she looked into Scientology just for some dude (John Travolta? Beck? ).

"I took a couple of courses. It was really all about a guy." McPhee, 22, said. "It was a guy that I was totally obsessed with -- not obsessed with but totally into and, you know, guys and girls can do that to our lives and make us think we're into something that we're not."

Of course love can make you do crazy things, like, I don't know, scream, jump up and down on a couch, scare a beloved talk show host, but is that what's really going on? Is there a chance that she is actually drinking the Scientology kool-aid?

"I'm not a Scientologist," McPhee claims. "I've clarified this rumor over and over again, but people will keep saying that I am, but whatever."

Hmm, sounds like something a Scientologist would say.

What about her supposed friendship with the most famous Scientologists around, TomKat?

"I actually just did meet them the other day and they were the nicest people I think I've probably ever met," McPhee said before denying that she sang to them at their wedding.

Maybe more clues will be revealed when she releases her up-coming oft-delayed debut album, Katharine McPhee, which will showcase her powerful voice while being backed by funky thetan rhythms.
