Katharine McPhee Decides Cheesy is the Best Publicity!

Katharine McPhee is set for a guest appearance on You Tube’s Lonelygirl15.

Now if you were one to follow the chronicles of the infamous Lonelygirl15 on You Tube, you too would question the motives of Katharine and/or her publicist. I mean… all I can think of is cheap, stupid publicity… of which isn’t needed. The only one benefiting from this is Lonelygirl15, the actress who lied about who she was.

The Internet serial “Lonelygirl15″ will get star treatment Friday when “American Idol” runner-up Katharine McPhee plays a guest role.

McPhee was an early fan of the show, which unravels the mystery of a 16-year-old girl named Bree in short video segments posted on YouTube, Revver and an official Web site.

“I followed it from the beginning,” McPhee told The Associated Press. “I thought it would be fun to meet all those characters.”

McPhee’s management contacted the creators of the Web series about a guest spot. The writers had already been devising a female character who briefly meets Bree and had been searching for ways to cast fans as characters. They readily agreed to cast McPhee in the nonrecurring role.

“She has an album coming out and thought it would be fun to go on the show,” said “Lonelygirl15″ co-creator Miles Beckett.

A song from McPhee’s debut album, which hits stores Jan. 30, will be featured as background music on Friday’s Webisode, although McPhee will not be seen singing.

Instead, the 22-year-old will play an unnamed character who meets Bree and her friends after they briefly emerge from hiding. The episode, titled “Truth or Dare,” was filmed last week. McPhee did not get paid for her role.
