"American Idol" runnerup Katharine McPhee managed to project a sweet and sunny personality on the show.
But off camera, the 22-year-old Californian can be "sullen and miserable," according to a Lowdown spy who attended McPhee’s personal appearance in Brooklyn for the christening of the ocean liner Crown Princess.
"She was nasty," reports the spy. "Katharine was cranky and in a foul mood. When a reporter asked her about those rumors that she was invited to sing at Tom Cruise’s wedding and that John Mayer asked her out, she freaked out and said, ‘Why are you asking such stupid questions?’" The spy added, "She’s a diva after two weeks of fame."
McPhee – whose first single is being released next Tuesday – was better behaved during a confessional interview with People magazine, in which she opened up about her five-year bout with bulimia. "I was binging my whole life away for days at a time," she confided.
Lowdown’s calls to her PR rep were not returned.
