  Ok, ok, which of our wonderful Southern California can attend this event and bring back video, highlights, lowlights, and everything in-between!

Celebrity sightings are about as rare in El Cajon as a cool breeze in July.

A touch of Tinseltown
in El Cajon

In a departure from recent years, next month's Mother Goose Parade will feature a deep roster of stars ranging from young stars to TV veterans.


Corbin Bleu


Katharine McPhee


Mario Lopez


Robert Wagner


Eva La Rue

Yet come Nov. 18, this East County city will be teeming with teen sensations and television stars.

The 61-year-old Mother Goose Parade, known more for its storybook character floats and beauty queens than Hollywood glitz and glamour, is getting an extreme makeover.

Among the bevy of young stars scheduled to perform or appear are Corbin Bleu of “High School Musical”; singer Jesse McCartney; “American Idol” runner-up Katharine McPhee; and Mario Lopez from “Dancing with the Stars.”

(Read the rest by clicking on the link above!)  Woo hoo!

Omigoodness, what a sour look on her face. Of all the millions of pictures of her floating around out there in cyberspace... and speaking as someone who's seen most of them...

katpedia.com - watch and listen to Idol, pre-Idol, and post-Idol McPhee performances all in one convenient location

"And everything around her is a silver pool of light... She makes you calm, she holds you captivated in her palm"

I agree! Why in the world did they choose that picture???????? And, Kat must be wondering when she will ever be able to have her name appear without the "American Idol Runnerup" tag!

I used to live on Mission Gorge Rd, on the way out to El Cajon! Too bad I can't make the trip out to try and get more coverage for Kat! I do have friends yet in TierraSanta, but don' know if I can convince them to cover it for us. I'll give it a shot though!

I think this event will be a lot more press friendly. There are some McPhans in the LA area who would probably be willing to make the trip south. Kat goes on fairly early, though.

Eva LaRue looks a lot younger than her age there. And Justin Guarini wants his hair back...

I was hoping to make it to this, but I can't fit it into my schedule next month. Can any of our wonderful Kat fans in S. Cali make it? The natives are getting a bit restless in the Katdom! LOL!  Here's more info on the parade at their website  http://www.mothergooseparade.org/2007/parade/parade_tickets.php

They have a better picture of Kat, and a nice bio of her.  Grandstand tickets seem reasonable-$15-$20.  You can watch a pre-show of the performers.  Sounds like a great opportunity to see Kat up close!

Just read all the bio's and it sounds like a good line up of entertainers for the pre-parade show! I haven't heard back from my friends in Tierrasanta as yet. They are occupied with buying a home in Germany for retirement. When I lived in San Diego, El Cajon was really out in the "boonies". How times have changed! Surely, one of our dedicated fans in Southern Cal will make the effort to attend!

If they moved the parade to December, I could make it. I'm not counting on it , so I'll be following this from afar.

According to this press release, interviews and photos will be available to the press. Maybe we could get somebody credentialed.

I agree about the choice of picture. This is not the most flattering portrayal of Katharine McPhee, especially given the choice of available photographs.

Welcome to the culture clash of the Mother Goose Parade where Robert Wagner has to fight for time with Mario Lopez. And let's not forget that Kat apparently swallowed a lemon...

That's one of the strangest publicity pictures of Kat I've ever seen chosen for an event. It almost makes you wonder if one of Kat's detractors put that together considering the wealth of beautiful pictures that could have been chosen. It's almost worthy of a complaint...but wouldn't bother with it, unless they put more sour pictures of her in other ads.

I think that's a pic of her at TRL that even we didn't see in the initial batch. It's probably an outtake from the media that should have been thrown out.

In any case, this parade gives us an opportunity to see Kat do something for the holiday season. I guess it's too much now to wish her to be on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade as I did last year. We likely have to wait until next year now for that (or maybe longer). But that's ok...considering a lot of holiday events take place in her local area as she did in Sherman Oaks last year. It's just that NYC provides more of an excitement around the holidays. Kat also IS NYC in every sense of its ethos.

Reminder - Kat's performing at the parade this Sunday.  Still no info on the TV coverage, though. Kat goes on around 12:00-12:30pm, I believe.
