Well K8ie, KH is not the only breakout star GA has produced. Patrick Dempsey has certainly made it big. Within the last year People Mag’s Star of the Year, Peoples Choice favorite male tv star, TV Guides Sexiest male TV. star and he and KH both were just included in Forbes Celebrity 100 list. Unlike KH, he always thank GA and his co-stars for getting him where he is today. He has always been gracious and appreciative and has the largest fan base of any GA star. KH should take the advice she gave IW and “just not speak in public”

Oh silly foolish Katherine.

She’s withdrawing her name — well how ‘big’ of her.

Who said she was going to be nominated in the first place?

I think it was a premptive strike on her part so that she didn’t have to face questions when she didn’t get re-nominated this year (after all she is last years winner).

It also had the added bonus of ’sticking’ it to the writer’s of Grey’s. Perhaps she thinks this will get her better material next year. Or she wants to be fired (there have been rumours that she wants off the show).

It was a calculated move on her part – the statement was released by her rep/agent – it’s not just some throw away line to some random member of the press that’s being taken out of context.

If she keeps these games up she may soon learn the hard way that Hollywood loves nothing more than to watch/cause the downfall of it’s actors/actreses. They don’t like it when you don’t play nice, and they are much more powerful than you.

My gut is telling me this was a bad move on her part. We’ll see in time.

i agree. maybe she shouldn’t say it so publicly, but i agree with what she said. her storylines weren’t great this year. the only memorable storyline with her character was the Gizzie romance which, aside from being so wrong, was finished about halfway through the season.

I personally saw Knocked Up because of Seth Rogan and the fact that there were 4 Freaks And Geeks cast members in it and it was a Judd Apatow movie. Katherine Heigl was just there. After hearing her ridiculous comments on it, I couldn’t care less if I saw 27 Dresses or not. I did because my mom and sister wanted to but it was On Demand, not in the theatre. Even now, I can’t stand her on Grey’s and she used to be my favorite. I can’t stand people who have nothing to complain about but still find a way to play victim, and that’s exactly what she does!

I’ve read a lot about her so called ‘diva’ behaviour. Like most stuff in the media, I took it wtih a grain a salt. However, after now reading this quote directly from her mouth I believe everything else said about her and I am sooooo over her! I believe it is appauling to come out and bag a show that made her a ’star’. Yes I agree that the season just gone wasn’t the greatest (although it did have some great moments – the episode where Addy came back was great, as was the final ep with Bailey/Chandra), but to come out publicly and say that is simply poor form. She obviously wants out of her contract and I hope Shonda et al stick it to her by making her uphold her contract. Whilst I enjoyed 27 dresses, there are plenty of other actresses who could have pulled off the role just as well. I don’t think Heigl is that talented or special (and the fact that she chain smokes repulses me!). I think on principle I won’t be watching any of her future movies, but I will stick with Grey’s despite her presence because I love most of the other characters.

I hope Heigl’s ‘good friend’ TR Knight has a word with her and tells her to pull her head in, although maybe he is just as bad as she is but simply doesn’t do everything in the public domain; it’s hard to know (you can often judge a person by the company they keep, although sometimes you can be blind to a friend’s true personality).

Heigl is old enough to know better than to air her ‘dirty laundry’ in public. It is not like she is a teenager who you could forgive for being impulsive and not having the self-discipline to keep her mouth shut. I sort of agreed when she voiced her support for TR Knight over the Isiah incident (although we can’t know the exact circumstances of what happened unless we were there so I have some slight reservations), but I do not support this behaviour in any way shape or form!

Since I heard my ears burning, I thought I might chime in. Though I do agree partially with theTVaddict’s take on KNOCKED UP, I have to disagree about his thoughts on Ms. Heigl’s drawing power. Josh already pointed out some statistics regarding KNOCKED UP, and you can’t really argue with the $76 million domestic tally of 27 DRESSES, a film that was all about her. That’s pretty good numbers for a romantic comedy, especially one with no real “mega-star” in it.

I think you’ll find that most critics and fans would agree with her as to how her character was handled this season.

Personally, I wasn’t as bothered by the George & Izzie thing, but then perhaps I’m not as emotionally invested in the show as others are.

Still, it’s the way she handled it that most everyone will also have a problem with. One article I read called her refreshing for her “candor”.

As attractive and talented as she may be (and I find her to be both), I don’t think that’s candor; it’s plain diva behavior, a social faux pas and maybe bad business. That amount of “candor” is ill-suited to a performer so early in the uptick of her career.
