Why, when Season 5 alums Taylor Hicks, Chris Daughtry and Elliott Yamin all appeared on the jam-packed extravaganza, was "America's Sweetheart" (Ryan Seacrest's words)-- the last performer to bring real sexuality to the show (sorry, Haley)-- missing from the line-up? Even when she called producers personally to beg to be included?
That remains a mystery. As for today, it's good news for the breastalicious beauty with the announcement she'll star in the coming-of-age yarn as a self-obsessed woman who searches for love, hope and meaning. Shooting is scheduled to start in and around New York City in the fall, at the mini budget of $5 to $8 million.
And this little movie won't be another From Justin to Kelly, the Idol musical bomb that starred the Top 2 from Season One.
There won't be any singing.
Kat was the runner-up in Idol's Season 5, edged out by Taylor. Ironically, her first single and debut album both only made it as far as #2 on the charts, as well.
Earlier this year, she showed up in a guest role on the LonelyGirl15 web serial. Kat says she's up for a "couple of big studio projects," but nixed them because "they weren't starring roles.
"I wanted to start off doing something a little different. It's something that a lot of people wouldn't expect me doing."
