As a writer of internet articles for American Idol, I always keep my eyes peeled for all news concerning it and the contestant's paths after they leave. I just read that Joss has contacted Katharine McPhee's (22 years old) people about the starring role in Wonder Woman. There are no real details but if you ever saw Katharine, you can see why she would be picked.

She has already done one film called "Crazy" that should be coming out this simmer. It is an Independant film but Katharine does have a credited role as "The Paramount Girl". Even though Katharine sang her way to the runner-up spot on Idol and is doing an album, acting is her first love. I'm not sure if Katharine would take the job or even if she can pass the screen test, but if Joss really considers her a potential canidate, he needs to move fast becuase Steven Speilburg is already hot on her trail.

Hi, this is Dave Shayne and I may or may not be here to neither confirm nor deny any rumors that could possibly be circulating that Joss has in fact chosen me to star as Wonder Woman.

But you didn't hear it from me.

You don't go on American Idol if you want a film career, you go on to get people to notice you without the hastle of having any talent.

Ok, snark over. I'll believe it when JOSS confirms it. As for Steven he needs fresh blood like he needs new ideas... not sure where to go with that.

I was hoping I wouldn't get Idol slammers on this comment but alas.... When I write my columns for Idol I always try to interject some Firefly vernacular to win some Firefly fans and it has worked to some extent. I had one person email me to thank me for recommending Firefly in my article. We can add at least one more Browncoat to the fold. And the one thing we Browncoats could use is some of that audience. If Firefly had the fortune to come on at the same time as Idol and follow it, we would still be watching it every week instead of dreaming about just the possibility.

And as far as talent goes quit being a whiner about Idol. You don't outsell Bruce Springsteen and Mariah Carey if you don't have talent and that's exactly what has happened this year with the Idol tour.

Ok, obviously you can't read sarcasm.

As for Idol I can take it or leave it, again *read* sarcasm.

Perhaps if your post wasn't just repeating a rumor that only the Idol PR machine seems to have heard there would be a little less hostility to it. As it is however this has to be filed under self serving rumormongering. Hey maybe we are doing the woman a diservice, maybe she does have some wicked acting chops. Being runner up on American Idol is not however evidence of same.

Edit: Look I'm thinking this is perhaps a bit harsh. For that I appologize. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time casting this in a way that isn't coming out harsh so I'll just leave it as is.

I strongly disagree.

Do you disagree that the tour outsold Bruce and Mariah or that Bruce and Mariah have no talent? Because one is a fact and the other would be and opinion

Also I just heard From Katharine's mom. Katharine is having her meeting with Spielberg this week but she could not confirm the "Wonder Woman" thing. Also Kat is a Firefly fan.

I'm saying it's possible to outsell Bruce and Mariah without talent.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

I hate American Idol with a mad, burning, fiery passion!

No! And no! And nonononononono!!!

I love Wonder Woman! And I love Joss! He wouldn't do such a thing to me! He couldn't!

Amen with a pound of icecream on top. I watched idol (yes sad to say, the first season on and off and a little of the second) And it's like this. Once you see something the first time it's great, engaging, you can't help but wonder at it and hope for the best for the winners, but after the 4th time it's like "Are we caring now?" to quote Wash.

Can anyone seriously remember except for DIEHARD fans who the 3rd winner was? And have anyones career besides Kelly really taken off? It's no different than any reality program out there, hopefully the fad will go away soon and we can have real talent come to the surface, not corporate made cookie cutouts. This sounds harsh but it's my own opinion. I'm not asking people to agree or disagree, if we all agreed the world would be a boring place. I'm just sick of the whole thing. And though people may despise Simon (I certainly do) It's Paula and the Dog I can't stand. Too much of anything is not necessarily a good thing. I think that was a quote from Kirk in Tribbles.

However for my abruptness and snarky way of responding I apologize, it's wasn't nice of me and I'm sorry. I still stand by what I said, but I could have said it in a more civilized way.

Shineyed: Thanks for letting us know the rumor. You specifically stated that you are not sure anything will happen, just that you were passing along info. Also, if you talked to the young woman's mother, well, that is as good of source as any. So, thanks for the info, thanks for the Firefly support, and tell the young woman that if she does become famous, to push for more Firefly.

Thanks again for your support!
