Katherine Heigl Submits Self For Emmy, Co-Stars Ask ‘Why?’

June 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Though she only appeared in a handful of episodes this season of “Grey’s Anatomy,” Katherine Heigl has thrown her hat into the ring and submitted herself in the supporting actress category for this year’s Emmy race. Despite her absence for most of the show, Heigl has submitted herself in the Best Supporting Actress category, leaving many – including ex co-star Eric Dane, wondering why.

Per E!:

Reporters asked Eric what he thought of Katherine putting her name in for Best Supporting Actress. His response: “For what?”

“Um, for Grey’s Anatomy,” we gently reminded him on the carpet at the 9th Annual Chrysalis Ball, where he was there with his equally good lookin’ wife Rebecca Gayheart.

“Oh,” Dane said catching himself. “It’s great! Fantastic! I love it! Why?”

Ellen Pompeo has also jumped into the race, vying for the Leading Actress category this year while others like Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh are joining Heigl in the supporting category. “Grey’s” itself is rallying for best drama. The two-hour season finale as well as “The Time Warp,” “Suicide is Painless,” “I Saw What I Saw,” and “Give Peace a Chance” episodes have been submitted for consideration. Heigl only appeared in a handful of episodes this year before her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, was last seen around Seattle Grace in January. She was due back on the set of the ABC drama March 1st but never showed up. ABC Studios said it was mutually agreed upon that Heigl would end her run this season. In 2008, Heigl took herself out of Emmy contention because she didn’t believe the material the writers gave her was worthy of recognition. Nominations for the 62nd Primetime Emmys will be announced July 8th, while NBC will air the Emmys on Aug. 29th.

Amazing. After sabotaging herself and her career for so many years with asinine rants about working hours, working conditions, not feeling that the quality of the writing was up to standard, etc., now suddenly she wants recognition for a season in which she did absolutely nothing spectacular! She did not appear in many episodes at all and chose to leave the show in a lurch and abandon the fans who’d supported her character for many years. I really hope she doesn’t even get a nomination, she doesn’t deserve it.

Katherine Heigl Filmed Last Episode of Greys Anatomy

March 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

After a stormy 6 year stay, it seems as Katherine Heigl is just waiting on her official discharge papers from “Grey’s Anatomy.” Series creator Shonda Rhimes has agreed to release Heigl from her contract, and now ABC and her representatives will work out an exit agreement. However, don’t expect her character Izzie Stevens to return to Seattle Grace Hospital to tie up any loose ends. Heigl, who adopted a baby last year and has been on maternity leave, did not return to the set as expected March 1st to film the five final episodes of the season. But ABC and Heigl mutually decided to end their relationship now instead of at the end of the season.

Per EW:

A source within the actress’ camp claims Heigl “was at home and ready to return to work.” Another insider, however, “insists it’s much more complicated than that.” The source adds that talks between Heigl and ABC have been going on for months and last week both sides mutually decided that the best solution would be to part ways now as opposed to at the end of the season. As a result, Heigl is not expected to return to the Grey’s set, which means her final episode as Izzie has already aired.

This should be no surprise as Heigl and “Grey’s” have had a rocky relationship. In 2007 she was in the middle if the TR Knight/Isaiah Washington feud, and publicly trashed Washington for repeating a derogatory word at the Golden Globe. Then in 2008 she knocked writers of the show, stating that she wasn’t in the Emmy race because she “did not feel I was given the material… to warrant a nomination.” In 2009, she called the 17 hour work-days on the show cruel and mean while on David Letterman’s show.

I honestly didn’t realize she was even still on the show.

What a secret to keep! Ellen Pompeo was able to have her baby girl over a week ago and we are just finding out about it today. The “Grey’s Anatomy” star and her husband Chris Ivery have welcomed their daughter back on September 15th. Congratulations!

Per Us:

“Her name is Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery,” her rep tells Us.

This is the first child for the actress and her music producer husband, who were married at a small ceremony in 2007 and announced they were expecting back in April. This is the latest in the string of baby news for the Grey’s cast: Co-star Katherine Heigl, who threw a baby shower for Pompeo earlier this summer, recently adopted a baby girl from Korea with husband Josh Kelley. Another Co-star, Eric Dane, and his wife Rebecca Gayheart are rumored to be expecting their first child. And fellow Grey’s actress Chyler Leigh is also a new mom to daughter Anniston Kae born four months ago.

Katherine Heigl Leaves ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

September 2, 2009 By 1 Comment

Katherine Heigl is once again claiming to be too big of a movie star to partake in the production of the little television show that made her famous, aka “Grey’s Anatomy”.

celebs letterman show 210709

Now the cast and crew of the show are being asked to accommodate Heigl’s busy movie-making schedule. Really? Because last I checked ‘Grey’s’ made more money than any of her movies.

Via Entertainment Weekly:

“Sources confirm to me exclusively that the actress is taking a five-episode hiatus from the ABC drama to go shoot the Greg Berlanti-directed romantic comedy ‘Life as We Know It.’“

The fact that the show’s producers are willing to do this baffels me. You are all aware of Heigl’s anti-Grey’s comments and her decision last year to pull her own name from the Emmy race (only to be snubbed this year…teehee).

I am now hoping the producers are keeping her around in order to have her character gain 70 lbs. and get hit by a bus. One can dream!

T.R. Knight Killed Off Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl Remains

May 28, 2009 By 1 Comment

This is complete crap. Annoyingly snobby Katherine Heigl will continue to lurk in dark corners and chain smoke on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Meanwhile, T.R. Knight’s character of loveable George O’Malley is said to be dead. The season finale (SPOLIER ALERT) left Heigl and Knight’s characters hanging by a thread. It was since rumored that at least one of the two would indeed die. Both actors have wanted out of the show for lack of screen time and playing second fiddle to their costars.

Katherine put her name in for the Emmy race this year after snubbing the awards last year citing poor writing by the staff of the show. However, this year was apparently up to her par and she is hopeful to get another Emmy nod. This leads common sense to believe that she will be staying. It would be a stupid move to chase an award from a show you are leaving.

E! Online reports that T.R. is finally out of his contract and sources are squealing that he will not return.

“Multiple sources tell me that T.R. Knight will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season. I’m told that tension between Knight and show creator Shonda Rhimes has become unbearable for both.”

However, the character’s fate might still be up in the air. Theories contrasting the report by E! claim that George will live, but not be played by Knight. After being crushed and dragged by a bus, the rumors of a plastic surgery makeover could give way to a new actor taking the role of George. Doubtful, but possible.

Regardless, I kinda wish Izzy would have gotten hit by a bus.

Katherine Heigl Is Overpriced

May 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

It didn’t take long for Katherine Heigl to get back on her high horse. It seems the “Grey’s Anatomy” actress and resident beyotch was in talks to star with an ensemble cast in Gary Marshall’s romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day”, but she pulled out of the project when her demands weren’t met…or even entertained by the producers.

It seems Heigl and her people came to the table demanding she be paid a staggering $3 million-more than any of the other actors work on the flick-actors that include Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, and Shirley MacLaine.

As if her price tag wasn’t enough, that price is attached to a mere 14 days of shooting. That’s right kids, Heigl believes she’s worth $1.5 million/week.

A rep for Heigl denies the claims via Page Six:

“The story is ludicrous. Early negotiations are a daily occurrence in this business, and just for clarification, Katherine walked away from this project for multiple reasons.”

Multiple reasons? Like not getting $3 million, her own trailer, chef, white roses, personal umbrella holder, and someone to wipe her bum?

Heigl is known for being a major beyotch on sets and often bites and gnaws the hands that feed her.

While shooting “Knocked-Up” she criticized how writer/director Judd Apatow portrayed women in the film, and she withdrew her name from last year’s Emmy race stating, “I do not feel I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination.”

Hey Katherine, next time you withdraw your name, you are also free to stay home so we aren’t subjected to 10 minutes of you and Seacrest kisses each other’s arses on the red carpet.

‘Sex and the City’ Release Date Confirmed

April 3, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Time for me to break out my Manolo Blahnik’s again–I am going to be getting more sex! “Sex and the City” that is!! Carrie, Samantha, Charolette and Miranda are going to be at a theatre near you on May 28, 2010, according to Variety.

Its biggest competition will the “Prince of Persia” game to movie film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ben Kingsley, and apparently some untitled romantic comedy starring our favorite Drama Queen Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher (really?? REALLY??). So, obviously NO competition for this movie.

The bigger question in my mind is that the series as centered on Carrie’s romantic misfires, with Big, Aiden and Petrovski. With Carrie being married and happily settled, will this sequel have the same feel as the TV show and first movie? I am skeptical but willing to be open minded. Maybe the producers could send me some designer handbags and shoes. My skepticism seems to disappear with free swag. Just sayin’.

Izzie-Gate Continues on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

March 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The never ending slew of rumors surrounding the characters of Izzie Stevens and George O’Malley continues.

Katherine Heigl is off the show one day and back the next. Today she is back despite the uncertainty of her character’s fate. Even Heigl claims she doesn’t know if Izzie lives or dies from stage 4 cancer. However, it seems she might have realized her behavior will cost her. She doesn’t have a plethora of silver screen options. She currently has on 2 other projects aside from Grey’s. So perhaps she has had a change of heart…

Via Yahoo:

“I was assuming that [my character's days were numbered] at one point and I got a lot of shrugged shoulders and shakes of the head, so I don’t know if that’s a yes or a no. No one will tell me and I don’t know how this is going to go. I don’t know if I live or die. I don’t know how Izzie fares.”

“I’m there” if Izzie remains part of “Grey’s Anatomy,” Heigl said. She called the set “one of my favorite places to be” and said her colleagues are also friends.”

Scads of stories and co-stars blabbing about the departure of both Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight have taken precedent over the show. ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ has turned from one the better shows on tv that combined 60% doctor drama and 40% comedic entertainment. It has now become 95% bitchy divas and 5% gloom and doom.

Can the show be saved? Some changes would have to occur.

1. Return of “The Nazi” and her backbone. Miranda has suddenly become a weepy squishy character who we can no longer depend on.

2. Get rid of Derek and his God complex. McDreamy has become McWeiner-Diva. Seriously… “I need you to play God Derek!” What a load of corny crap. Dr. Shepard has grown a Kanye West sized ego. Let’s dial down from being the Jesus of surgery.

3. Where is the fun factor? There are some potentials with McSteamy and Little Grey. When she broke his “bone” I was elated with the return of that gumption the show once boasted.

4. For the love of good tv… kill off Izzie. Pull the plug on this self centered Mariah Carey of tv.

Katherine Heigl Goes FULL Diva

March 4, 2009 By 2 Comments

Katherine Heigl is apparently a diva extraordinaire! According to Perez Hilton, Heigl has moved from “difficult” to “diva” with her demands on her new project “Five Killers”.

“She’s had a appointments with us – from camera tests to fittings – that she just hasn’t shown up to and has been making herself unavailable. She and her mother [her manager] even had the audacity to request that wardrobe people go to her. We accommodated that request and she flaked on the meeting.”

All Heigl needs to do now is start doing drugs and get a girlfriend and she could be the next Lindsay Lohan! But seriously, what is she thinking. This is absurd behavior and she is burning bridges everywhere she goes. First she badmouths “Grey’s Anatomy” writer Shonda Rhimes‘ by not accepting an Emmy nomination, then she badmouths “Knocked Up“, which made her a star.

My prediction? She is going to be unemployable within the next year. No one wants to work with a diva who turns on you after the project is finished and bites you. Heigl–get your act together!

Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight Drama, James Pickens Jr. Back Tracks

February 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I am getting beyond tired of these two. They should kill the bitches off on the show and be done with it. We all know something is up. You can’t really hide the fact that they are going to go at some point. According to my sources these two ARE leaving. It’s just a matter of time. Right now the status is in limbo. The stars’ agents and network attorneys are currently still battling it out. The point is that negotiations are still happening.

Katherine Heigl has been trying to find a way out for 2 years now. Notice how T.R. Knight’s character is noticeably absent or has a total of 3 lines in every episode? Right now the fate of their characters is up in the air. Rumors that George was going to take a sudden interest in the military have been brewing but according to leaks, that story line has been scrapped.

James Pickens Jr. was the original cast member confirming that they were leaving. Have let the cat out of the bag and got in trouble, he is now back tracking on his previous statement.

Via People:

“We’ve been living with these rumors for a long time,” he said before the NAACP’s awards show. “When the question was posed to me, I was more trying to congratulate Katie and T.R. on whatever they were going to do. But yeah, I don’t have any special info about it either way.”

How is “yes they are leaving” a congratulatory statement? Just flush them down the toilet like dead goldfish and get it over with.
