Katherine Heigl, who is pissing people off but endearing herself to me with her candor, admits she wasn’t fond of her summer hit, Knocked Up, because it was “a little sexist.”
“It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys. . . It was hard for me to love the movie,” the actress tells January’s Vanity Fair of the movie that elevated her asking price from $300,000 to — get this! — $6 million for her next flick.
Katherine also says she’s wary of her increasingly annoying Grey’s Anatomy character, Izzie, who had a fling with her married pal, George (real-life BGF T.R. Knight): “It was a ratings ploy,” she sighs. “I’m trying to figure her out and keep her real.”
Oh, Kat. Of COURSE Knocked Up is sexist and Grey’s Anatomy is going down the crapper, but as anyone who wishes to stay employed will tell you, you should never be so forthright about your complaints. Instead, you secretly talk sh*t behind their backs! Duh.
And was Knocked Up even a movie…? I thought it was a public service announcement: Friends Don’t Let Hot Drunk Friends Have Sex with Random Fat Dudes.
if she thought it was sexist she shouldn’t have taken the role.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:32 pmwhat is she talking about? the guys were doping slackers and the only female shrew was her sister. her part was the most positive in the movie. she’s getting nutty.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:38 pmshe’s making an ass out of herself…”don’t bite the hand that feeds you” is a saying she should remember.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:43 pmKnocked Up sucked. I would have walked out if I wasn’t with a friend–and i have NEVER walked out of a movie before.
December 3rd, 2007 at 1:16 pmAlso Izzy is increasingly crazy. Ever since Denny died she’s been off the deep end.
This is the same chick who instigated Isaiah Washington being kicked-off of Grey’s Anatomy– this after her best friend TR Knight claimed that Washington called him a “faggot” to his face on Ellen, and in other media via leaks to the press. Well now, it turns out that TR was never called faggot…and in fact, he wasn’t even in the room when Patrick Dempsey and Washington squared off in the fight that started all this mess in the first place. During the fight, Isaiah told Dempsey…”I am not your faggot” (meaning man servant, i.e. butler, the original root meaning of the word).
The fact of the matter is, TR Knight was never refered to in the conversation between Dempsey and Washington at all, and simply used the situation to get publicity for himself. When the real information finally broke in the media, Knight was denied s sympathy Emmy award which was being positioned for him based on the controversy, which again, turned out to be nothing but a fraud authored by Knight, one that was later, and knowingly, perpetuated by Knight and Heigl.

December 3rd, 2007 at 2:38 pmI’m not a “Gray”’s watcher so I have no opinion on her, but these actually seem like pretty good thoughtful things to say. Granted she shouldn’t be saying them if she wants to get hired again…..
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:41 pmForgive me, but — if you have
enough Hollywood draw to demand
even a “mere” $300,000 for a picture,
why accept a role you find repulsive?
(It’s a rhetorical question, folks. And
December 3rd, 2007 at 3:40 pmI know the typical actor’s answer: You
gotta keep working, it’s the only way to
keep working.)
Zip, thanks for the explanation. I had heard that before, where Isiah said, “I’m not your faggot” and some how it was all directed at TR — fueled by this gal in the media.
I can’t stand her. If she keeps puffing away, she’s going to age FAST. Heigl may have not only to contend with her thoughtless mouth, but also a bout of “smoker’s mouth” in a few years.
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:48 pmShe is so irrelevant. Her ‘hit’ show
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:10 pmsucks, and I am sure with the amount of
cigarettes she sucks on per day, her
days are definately numbered.
Good-bye to you b**ch.
Thanks Gigohead. I’ve heard that smoking cigarettes can age your appearance by about 10 to 20 years. Some people use them to lose weight, or at least prevent weight gain…but considering the health risks from smoking, that is just stupid.
If you switch to being a vegetarian you’ll drop about 20 to 25 pounds in about two and a half weeks and they sell faux meat in the health food freezer section of most major grocery stores or places like Whole Foods…and these products taste almost like the real thing, enough to fool most people. A brand called Quorn is pretty good, their faux chicken is great. And in the regular freezer section there is a brand called MorningStar Farms (Grillers)…so skipping meat is pretty easy these…but I always allow myself shrimp and prawns as a treat every once and a while. And many vegies still eat fish so they won’t go insane. I just wish the salt content was lower in the frozen foods…but then again…they need to greatly lower salt in all products.

That’s right, but Dr. McDreamy could have saved Washington’s bacon, but he just sat back and watched it all unfold. Even after Washington publicly urged him to speak out about what really happened.
In any case, Washington was wrong about the initial confrontation. It’s not another actor’s business or place to scold another actor about being late. He’s quite arrogant, but he did get a bum rap.
