Kat, It's great to hear from you and I'm glad you're feeling better. I, for one, never doubted you for a second. In fact, some of what you said in your letter I've been saying as well with regards to this whole non-issue. It's fantastic that you're able to clear things up personally but I know that won't always be the case. Folks just need to realize what a wonderful caring woman you are so they won't be tempted to believe the tabloids when they try spreading their trash. Try to enjoy your downtime while you have it. I imagine great things ahead and that means being busy busy busy! Until next we hear you, enjoy the tour! Love, Matt

It's nice to know that Kat thinks so much of her fans that she took the time to personally write out a letter clarifying what's happening. But to be honest, reading this actually made me sad. Because she really should not have to explain something like this to the very people who are supposed to be supporting her the most. Like I said on another thread, I completely understand wondering what's going on, worrying, speculating... that's all normal because we care about her. I don't want anyone to think I'm above all that or that I'm scolding people for doing that. I just want people to realize that word does get back to Kat, and it does hurt her feelings. I also hope that just because Kat was gracious enough to respond this time, people don't take this to mean that if they make enough noise, she will come out and address the issues again. Just let this be a lesson that we, of all people, should be giving Kat the benefit of the doubt about anything and everything. It's always gratifying to be the first to get new information, but a good rule of thumb is... don't believe anything until it's been confirmed.

Posted By Cornelius on 07/11/2006 2:51 PM First; thanks so much Kat for letting us know what is going on. I hope that your management and PR people recognize that they let you down and are going to be more proactive in the future. Kat (if you are reading this), I am keeping the McPhaith!!! McElpheba nailed this one yesterday with a very insightful post. And from my experience having worked for a talent manager and a casting director in NY, respectively, I definitely remember that it is a wide-spead industry rule that sick is a no-go. We were constantly calling and changing audition dates for our clients because they were hoarse or groggy or whatever the reason, and the casting directors and agents were happy to oblige. It was just a general idea that it was better to wait and have the actor or singer at 100%, because seeing them at less-then-best would only turn off the person they were meeting with. And finally, along the same lines, if Kat's voice was still hoarse, but they had her doing a photo shoot while she couldn't sing, then great-she's out there making the best of her time. I'm all about seeing her on another cover. And again, this is something I've seen done before-if someone was sick, we'd still send them on print, or if someone got sunburnt and was peeling, we'd send them on voice-overs, because in the industry, time is money, and if you're not out there doing something, then you are wasting time and money, which the managers and agents Thanks Cornelius! I had a feeling this is what was going on, but from outside the industry, not everyone is aware of these things, which is why I hoped to shed some insight. Kat, if you happen to be lurking, Thanks SO much for posting, even though I feel really bad that you had to post in response to these rumors-we Phans should all just take things as they're given us, and realize that the Kat Kamp knows what it's doing. Ultimately, what everyone needs to realize, is that things like the rumors and negativity form the press this week, though tough on us, are actually not all bad-and even though we love having an official statement to "make the rumors go away", we can't expect her to come over every time, pat us on the head, and set things straight. We've gotta keep the McPhaith, and remember one very important thing: This past week, Kat has gotten a great deal of press , much of it being neagative press based on rumor. Now, if she'd just popped right in and set everything straight, it would have eliminated all this press. However, now, all that press turns from negative press to mis-informed press-which basically means that Kat's name has been out there for people to see-and because these rumors are dispelled, all that's left over is a week worth of Kat-press, which is great. The better Kat does, the more music, magazines, and appearances we Phans have to look forward to. We can all help out tremendously by just continuing to support her, and by ceasing to question every little morcel of rumor that's printed about her. From now on, don't get mad that they're saying untrue things about her-be happy that they're saying ANYTHING about her. Yay Kat!

Proud Member of 'The Laurs'!!! P.S.-I'm the sweetest, cause Kat said so.

Posted By kate4chrisandkat on 07/11/2006 2:13 PM God bless you Kat and I look forward to seeing you in St. Paul, MN on August 22!!! Thats the concert I'm going to! Will you be wearing orange? For some reason I'm so nervous to ask my friends and family to wear orange, should our row of six look stupid It was so great of Katharine to clear this up for us, I knew not to doubt her. Like I said in another thread, Kat would never intentionally disappoint her fans. I hope she makes a speedy recovery. Can't wait for the concert!

Hey Kat, Good to hear from you. Don't you worry about the rumors. We know what is real and what is not real, and we have all of our faith in you. We understand. If it makes you feel better, in honor of you having to deal with this alone, I pledge to not speak for the rest of the week. Anyone care to wish me some luck on that? Yea, totally not happening, but I'll give it a try. I think we should all give it a try. Why dont we all try and put ourselves in Kat's place, and when we realize that its not an easy thing to do, then perhaps more people will understand. I love how I started off this letter to Kat, and then it slowly developed into a letter to everyone. Should I shut up yet? Thought so. Thanks Kat..you take care..and we love you! ~Laurie

You can call me Laurie..or L..or whatever it is that you would like to call me. These days, I answer to just about anything. :smiles: A Proud Member of "The Laurs" Katfia- "McQueen"..please people, it was given to me.

Laurie I could not agree more to that! I pledge to do the same. I better go buy me an etch and sketch now. Want me to get you one too L? ;)

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason if you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, Let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy they just promised it would be worth it.
