Defamer
We've been poking fun at Katherine Heigl for months now, and with good reason: she just can't stop saying the darndest things about her emasculated husband Joshua Kelley, she is completely lacking gaydar ... frankly, this list could go on for hours. But after hearing the news that Heigl is pushing for an escape from the ratings-challenged Grey's Anatomy following a fiscally successful contract renegotiation later made public, we're inching towards Team Heigl for the first time. As a source tells MSNBC:
"She's a smart one. She saw what [happened with] Jennifer Aniston, who was crazy successful on TV, but can't seem to carry a film, and she tested the waters early."
But Heigl's chances of fleeing the yawnfest that is Grey's and continuing her journey towards becoming "the next Julia Roberts" don't look good:
After only three seasons on then-mega hit Grey's, Heigl did make an early attempt to break out as a "real" actress on the big screen, and whether it was a case of pure luck or actual talent, Knocked Up turned her into a bankable hot commodity overnight. Then came 27 Dresses, which managed to rack up an impressive $23mm its opening weekend, coming in second to the highly anticipated Cloverfield. Interestingly enough, 27 has racked up $76mm to date, trailing the J.J. Abrams shitshow by only $4mm as of May 1st. Next on her plate is a pantsless role in 2009's The Ugly Truth, which co-stars B.O. superstar Gerard Butler. The only hitch regarding Heigl's promising movie career? As a source told MSNBC, "Heigl might be locked into Grey's a bit longer. 'I don't think she'll be able to get out of it.'" But we're talking about a woman capable of curing ADD sans medical license! We're not worried about Heigl's manipulative methods when it comes to getting her way.

Go Hiegel! The shark she has been jumped and the ship she's taking on water and floundering.
Step 1. Steal all the underpants.
Step 2. ?
Step 3. Make all the profit.
Great picture.
funny that she's being compared with Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston (both of whom i'm not ashamed to say i crush on), and yet i really don't like the Heigl
"B.O. superstar Gerard Butler"? Unless they're talking about his scent after a day of filming as Leonidas, Gerry hasn't been proven a bona fide moneymaker.
Grey's has never been the same since it lost Christina's black heart specialist doctor. He was the only manly man on the show, and the loss of testosterone is palpable.
@MisterMuggles: Worldwide box office was $456 million for "300." I'd call that a moneymaker!!!!
It wasn't Katherine Heigl that made Knocked Up a hit, it was because it said "From the Director of the 40 Year Old Virgin" and than had Judd Apatow's name on it.
They lost me after that dumb episode about Grey 'dying'.
Is it mean to hope she tanks?
Ok label me lame but I hope she makes it :)
Anybody else notice that while McSteamy is the one with the rep - it's actually George who's done the bed-hopping? Count them! I think Christina's the only one he's missed...
But what I *really* want to know is - who is Heigl flipping off on the above photo, eh?
The only similarity I see between her and Julia Roberts is that horrible braying laugh that both of them do, like they're trying to dislodge a piece of food.
Maybe she can fill the great big gaping hole in the universe that has been growing larger and larger ever since Meg Ryan abidcated her status of "Cute Blonde Love Interest"...
Hollywood is saved!!!
@kylo4: She's the only star of 27 Dresses and that's $150M worlwide. In comparison, Apatow's Knocked Up made $200M. I'd say she's justified in thinking she can jump when the time comes.
@Nunaurbiz: Yeah, but he's not the reason it did that well. It was the style of the film. You might as well credit Mickey Rourke for the success of Sin City.
@Mswhiskers:
I love how Washington doesn't have a name he's just 'a black heart specialist'. And seriously, get over this lack of testosterone thing.
What's up with all this paranoia about Katherine Heigl stealing everyone's manhood and 'emasculating' her husband? You people should be more concerned about all the estrogen in the water.
@judithvansteppes: Mr. Heigl is unavailable to comment as he is presently painting his wife's toenails while organizing her handbags.
@Little Mintz Sunshine: Nailed. It. Sad because it's true.
Big GBut fan as this town needs a manly man but sadly, he hasn't lit the BO on fire. Saw the trailer for the piece of stank with Hilary Swank and have to say, was a wee bit nauseated by their nuzzlin'.
