After weeks of hype, Smash premiered on NBC last night. And the Broadway musical-based drama received raves from critics for its performances, music and originality. But, let’s face it, many men tuned in just to stare at Katharine McPhee. The former American Idol finalist is featured in the latest issue of GQ , sizzling in a pictorial and understanding exactly how to sell her series. “What if I tell your readers that in episode five I take off all my clothes?” McPhee jokes with the magazine. “I mean… no. But can’t we just say that?” Very funny, Kat. But let’s get serious for a moment: How about half your clothes? A quarter of them?

Mimi Alford is not letting John F. Kennedy rest in peace. This former White House intern appeared with NBC’s Meredith Vieira yesterday and hyped her upcoming memoir, which will be released tomorrow and which alleges she carried on an 18-month affair with JFK while he was in office. The book is titled “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy.” Why would she possibly reveal this information now? “It’s not so much that I feel that I’m exposing myself, it’s that I’m really unburdening myself – it was a very difficult thing for me to do,” Alford says in an interview that will air in its entirety tomorrow night on Rock Center with Brian Williams . Alford says she was 19 when she started her White House internship and that she lost her virginity to the President. “I should have felt guilty,” Alford says. “He was married to Mrs. Kennedy. But I didn’t.” She did, however, feel crushed later on when she learned about Kennedy’s alleged other affairs, including his most famous dalliance, with Marilyn Monroe. “I think that’s probably partly what makes me feel sad when I look back,” she says of JFK’s penchant for other women. “[The affair] made me feel very special.”

According to Nielsen, the NFL Championship between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots pulled in 111.3 million viewers to slightly edge out the previous year’s number of 111 million. Meanwhile, the NBC music competition series “The Voice” enjoyed the carryover from the Super Bowl – as its season two premiere brought in over 36.7 million viewers, making it the highest-rated non-sports telecast in six years. Back in 2006, an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” followed the Super Bowl and was the last entertainment program to do as well at “The Voice” last night. In addition, it was the top performance for an NBC cast since the 2004 series finale of “Friends.”Photo Credit: Getty Images
