‘In My Dreams’ Katharine McPhee: ‘American Idol,’ ‘Smash’ alum trying to ‘steer away’ from music-driven acting – “Listen, I was super-grateful for ‘Smash’ in so many ways,” McPhee tells Zap2it, “just because it fulfilled all these dreams I had, but I’ve always wanted to just be an actor. It’s not something you tell everybody — you want to go out and make it happen, as opposed to just talking about it — but ‘Smash” ended up being the thing that opened doors for me. “At this point, I try to steer away from things that are so music-related,” McPhee adds, “but I’m not closed off to them. If something’s an amazing thing to do, I want to be able to. The basic thing actors want is to be able to do different things and feel like they’re challenged, and I’ve been excited and grateful for all the prospects.” – Read more at Zap2it

‘Survivor: Cagayan’: Jeff Probst weighs in on the latest blindside – JEFF PROBST: I think Tony is similar to Russell in many ways, one of which is I don’t really think he thinks too long about any of his moves. Not taking away from his game play, so far it’s working very well. He appears to be going off gut instinct, probably the same thing that he follows as a cop. I also think he has a pretty good read of people. But if he took a bit more time to evaluate some of his moves he might not make them. Is that a good thing? Hard to know at this point.
