Katharine McPhee: small screen queen?

Is there any show Katharine McPhee has not been on recently? She has to have one of the best promotional strategies when it comes to television, has she has been on at least something every week since her album Unbroken was released in January.

Most recently, Katharine performed her new single "Terrified" on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night. Watch the performance below:



On Thursday, Kat's long awaited episode of Community starring Joel McHale aired on NBC in which she played Chevy Chase's money-grubbing stepdaughter Amber. Watch the episode below:



Earlier in the day, Katharine's performance of "Terrified" re-aired on an episode of The Bonnie Hunt Show that originally aired in late February. Watch the performance below:



Going back a week, Kat made a cameo on E!'s "The Soup Awards" special on the network's sketch show The Soup (also starring McHale). She presented the award for "Outstanding Meltdown and Way Better Than Being Nominated For It." Watch her segment below:



All these TV appearances were supplemented by a performance at the White House in support of International Women's Day this past Monday, which can be viewed below:



Judging by this busy promo schedule, don't be surprised if Kat turns up on the Idol stage performing "Terrified" one some Wednesday during this season. And of course, this all comes on the heels of news that Kat will be starring in her very own pilot for an NBC sitcom called The Pink House.

Keeping up with Amanda Avila

Back in 2005, many pegged Amanda Avila as a dark horse during the semifinals of the fourth season of Idol. Despite the high hopes, it was not her time, as Amanda finished in the Top 16 with an underwhelming take on Gloria Estefan's "Turn the Beat Around."

The former Vegas showgirl did manage to find some extra screen time on FOX Reality Channel's Reality Remix, which basically was a half hour version of The Soup's "Reality Show Clip Time" segment and was hosted by former MTV veejay Lisa Kennedy Montgomery. On the show, Amanda served as a correspondent until it ended in May 2008.

Amanda found herself being hounded by the paparazzi (actually just a paparazzo) when she was out with Blake Lewis and friends back in October 2007. Watch the cameraman's proud work below:



In addition to her experimentation in TV, Amanda has cut a few tracks of her own, which can be listened to on her official music MySpace page. She seems to be pursuing a career in dance music, as her trance cover of 38 Special's "Second Chance" is definitely something that could be heard in a New York City club. She has also recorded two original songs called "Dirty Love" and "Alright Tonight" that are also in the bland club banging category.
