Katherine McPhee stepped out looking effortlessly smashing on her dinner date with her husband Nick Cokas and friends at BOA Steakhouse on Monday night.

The former Idol star will display her singing chops in the new Stephen Spielberg-produced musical drama alongside Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston as part of NBC's mid-season schedule in 2012.

It's also good to see the singer still going strong with her hubby of three years -- who is also 19 years her senior!

Are there no other colors?

Kim Kardashian stood out more than Solange and Katharine McPhee, who both looked lovely... just a little on the plain side. C'mon, people, it's fashion week! At least Kim K. goes bold with the fire truck red lipstick. I know Solange has the pink purse, but it's Pepto-Bismol pink, not pretty pink.

A jubilant Katherine McPhee was spotted leaving Ketchup in West Hollywood last night, and the sexy songstress was all smiles as photogs snapped away. Now that's our kind of celeb!

Now that we have your attention, here are the highlights from the 30th Anniversary Carousel of Hope Ball (which benefits The Barbara Davis Center For Childhood Diabetes) in Beverly Hills this past Saturday night...

Nicole Richie: Surprisingly elegant!

Mel B: Always smart enough to show off her two best assets.

And Lara Flynn Boyle... uh... should've stayed home.

Check out the rest in the gallery below!

The Women in Hollywood awards brought out all of Hollywood's A-List females (as well as some C-listers -- sorry Kat!), most of whom were dressed pretty sedately in knee-length cocktail dresses.

Course, Kate Beckinsale, in her full-length goddess gown managed to stand out, as did Jennifer Lopez, but for a very different reason:

Looks like Jenny from the block needs a bit more sleep, or a glass less of champagne or both!

Ok, we know she's beautiful and talented (at singing at least, if not acting), but did we know she was such a babe?

Here's Kat at the Marchesa show in New York yesterday, showing off some of her OTHER talents - and yes, they're definitely real!

We spotted newlyweds Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas getting some brunch at the Sofitel hotel in Hollywood on Easter Sunday. Kat and her hubby didn't seem to mind the attention too much, but we'd love to see her flash that megawatt smile!

We know loose floral dresses are in style this spring, but we can't help but wonder, is there any chance Kat is hiding a kitten under her sundress?

American Idol alumna Katharine McPhee was recently spotted picking up some items at Planet Blue in Santa Monica.

Kat always looks cute - even moreso when she's not covered up! - but is plaid ever a good look?
