Katharine McPhee’s celebrity girl crush: Megan Fox

What do you think of Katharine McPhee with blond hair? I love it!

Brandon Voss recently had a chat with the beautiful American Idol alum for Night Timez. Here is a portion of it:

When did you first become conscious of your gay following?
I grew up in a very theatrical family, and my mom was a cabaret singer who trained a lot of gay students, so I was always around gay people, and it was a very natural thing for me. I also went to a musical theater program at Boston Conservatory, and all us girls had little gay followings even then. The musical theater boys had girls they called “fierce,” but they’d call me and my sister “McPhierce.” And when I performed at the gay club TigerHeat in L.A., the crowd was so awesome and high-energy that you would’ve thought I was Britney Spears!

Do you have a celebrity girl-crush?
Oh, yeah. It might be kind of cliché, and it’s taken me some time to fully admit it, but Megan Fox is definitely my female crush just for physical appearances. Sometimes she’s a little too vulgar for me with the things she says, but she’s a gorgeous woman.

Since your debut album was released, two other American Idol runners-up have come out of the closet. Do you think gay contestants will feel more comfortable coming out during the competition now that there’s an openly lesbian judge?
First of all, I love Ellen and think she’s going to be great on the show, but that’s a tricky thing I can only compare to someone who’s really spiritual or religious: You don’t need to wear your religion on your sleeve. The competition is not about your faith or your sexuality but about you as an artist. Look, I think everyone knew Adam Lambert was gay. I don’t feel it was a big surprise, and I think Adam did the right thing by coming out with that Rolling Stone cover. He was just as flamboyant on the show as he is now, but anytime you say too much about your personal stuff, it can hinder you in the competition. If people saw the pictures of me being crazy in college with my gay friends and my girlfriends, they’d probably think differently of me on the show. So it’s a fine line you have to follow on a reality show competition when all of America is voting.
