It’s the Idol 1st runner up curse.
Katharine McPhee Becomes 3rd “Idol” Runner Up to Suffer Foot Injury
1st Diana DeGarmo
2nd Bo Bice
3rd Katharine McPhee
She reminds me a lot of Bo Bice actually who had many problems, a broken foot, a stomach problem and … well that’s all I remember he had… Katharine McPhee beats him in this department I suppose… grabbing headlines… ’cos she had the bulimia story, the missing the tour story due to illness story, boyfriend story, the “unable to make it for her come back appearance in Pittsburgh after bronchitis/laryngitis” story, her filming and wanting to quit Idol story… and now… foot story. HAHAHA.
She’s such a funny. So many problems. It’s a never-ending story. I don’t check the Internet for about 12 hours, wake up and the next thing you know, she’s making headline news again … I think she’s getting so much Yahoo Headlines News Coverage. It’s quite nice actually. I wonder if it’s good for her though.

Katharine McPhee trips on foot, not lyrics and fractures it
So what we know? It’s a hairline fracture on her left foot, she should be in a temporary cast… and she’s continuing the tour. YEAY!
She won’t be able to writhe or do her funky Kaylor McHicks moves anymore… but you know, we’ll never know… she’s always popping up with surprises… 
From Yahoo:-
Did you notice that a Malaysian Newspaper is the 1st in the headlines on Google News… Hmmmm….
LOL.
Not about her foot, but in a South Korean newspaper that’s really popular with the asian market…..she was feature on it. ^_^
People are magnetized to her…and that’s cool. She may have haters, but as long as she has fans…she’s gonna do great.
