heigl gets hassled

katherine heigl is finally getting it handed to her. the grey's anatomy actress has become infamous for her not-so-friendly comments regarding the people she works with. when promoting knocked up, her first big picture role (which was originally anne hathaway's), heigl said that she felt the film "paints the women as shrews," while the men come across "lovable." while that might be true, heigl isn't exactly picking roles that make women look great. if she wanted to do that, she probably wouldn't be going the romantic comedy route. in 27 dresses, heigl played a desperate woman who would do anything to make her boss happy because she lusted after him, even though her feelings were not reciprocated. and, in her latest effort (last week's the ugly truth), heigl's character dons a pair of vibrating panties and sluts herself up to get the guy. real dramatic, career defining stuff. so, when judd apatow and seth rogen appeared on the howard stern show, they got their chance to sound off on the ungrateful actress. in response to the vibrating pantie scene, rogen said, "i'd have to see if that was uplifting for women." when apatow tried to stand up for the star, rogen retorted back, "i didn't slip and i was doing fucking interviews all day too ... i didn’t say shit!" sounds like there's more than a little bit of bad blood between the duo." to backtrack a little, apatow and rogen did give heigl praise for her work on knocked up, claiming she could improvise with the best of them and "could not have been cooler" during filming. i guess they don't exactly want to burn bridges, like katherine. known to be unhappy with her grey's anatomy deal, heigl has been mouthing the show's production while making the talk show rounds for the ugly truth. heigl keeps telling the story of how, on her first day back on set, the cast and crew were there for 17 hours, adding "i hope this embarrasses them." why leave such a cushy job? i've said it once and i'll say it again. patrick dempsey has had just as many box office successes as katherine and isn't bolting from the top drama. have a little gratitude. dempsey and heigl's former grey's costar, tr knight (george), recently made the cover of entertainment weekly. in the issue, show creator shonda rhimes was quoted as saying that she was disappointed that knight would not come back for a final episode she had planned as part of the season opener. the episode would have followed george's final day alive, documenting the heroism he demonstrated in the bus crash that left him as a disfigured john doe. just one more episode can't be that hard. it appears like knight didn't have enough respect for the cast or his character, george. a final episode in his memory would have given closure to the character and finished his story line gracefully. now we'll just be stuck with another hospital death. no wonder knight and heigl are bffs.
