Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl seized a golden opportunity and went out for a jog during Los Angeles's magic hour last night. Once she moved past the smog, traffic snarls, and unsavory characters that lined the streets, the beauty of the city surprised Heigl. However, Heigl could not escape a group of photographers who popped out of bushes, trees, and water fountains as she ran. Heigl stopped mid-stride and asked, "Can't I just work on my fitness without you and your entire posse snappily judging me? I need to get in shape for my man, the rocker. No, not the Rainn Wilson variety. He's more like the John Mayer variety, minus all that Jennifer Aniston bashing. Love her, btw. Now, either let me jog in peace or go fetch me a purple-flavored Vitamin Water from the 7-11."

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory star Katherine Heigl performed a bit of light calisthenics before embarking on a shopping expedition in Santa Monica on Tuesday morning. You see, Heigl got bit of a charlie horse the last time she went to Barney's in Beverly Hills, which left her in a surly mood for a few days afterwards. Heigl said, "That injury really knocked the wind out of my sails. I could barely walk for a few days afterwards. It was great having everybody helping me out. Joshua make daily runs over to the House Of Pies for the chocolate crème pie. It was nice, but I was bit of a pill and there's no need for a repeat performance."

Much like the first day of elementary school, Katherine Heigl spent a decent portion of her first day back on set catching up with the cast and crew of the popular medical drama Grey's Anatomy. When it came to time to explain what she did over her vacation, an uncomfortable silence filled the parking lot. A pensive Heigl kicked at a few imaginary pebbles then explained that she's got to listen to her lines on her iPod in her car and added that she might check out that 'cake fart' website everybody is raving about as well.

Seeking an escape from the wall-to-wall coverage of the Great Earthquake, Grey's Anatomy amigos T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl engaged in a bit of retail therapy at the Americana in Glendale. Knight and Heigl felt that new shopping center was a lot like the Grove, but with fewer tourists. Sensing a lull in their conversation, Knight asked if Heigl had sent an apology bouquet from Edible Arrangements to the writers yet. Heigl shook her head and said that she couldn't decide on which one to send. Knight thought the right approach would probably be to just send all of the arrangements.

“I'm not as disciplined about it was I once was, but I hope to find my way back as I get older and a little less selfish...I'm ashamed to say that I've just got very lazy about it. I satisfy my vices instead of fighting them.”

And this is certainly not the first time Hollywood Public Enemy Heigl has spoken out about her “support” of the Church. A colorful collection of quotes she’s given throughout the years on the Mormon religion, after the jump:

On Her Mostly Mormon Friends:
USA Today, 2007:

"I haven't [practiced] since I was about 19 or 20, when I moved to L.A. and was working a lot. I couldn't find a ward I was comfortable in. It kind of petered out mostly because of that. My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know."

On Raising Her Kids Mormon:
Glamour, 2007:

"I’m having a glass of white wine right now; that’s not exactly being a good Mormon! But I am really supportive of the Mormon church and so profoundly grateful for the childhood I had. It’s hard work to grow and change and be honest with yourself about your mistakes, and I think the Mormons handle that beautifully. The faith I grew up with has influenced every decision I’ve made in my life — well, except for the bad ones! I haven’t decided yet. I’ve always thought I would raise [my children] Mormon because I had such a wonderful childhood."

On The Church's Influence On Her Childhood:
Vanity Fair, 2008:

"A couple of Mormon families were a great comfort [after the death of her brother when Heigl was seven years old]. Both my parents felt a great desire for answers, and they found an answer in the Mormon church. Everything was kind of a mess for a while. It wasn’t like Ordinary People, where it destroyed that family so badly that there was never finding any joy or loving or appreciating being alive again. But I give my parents unbelievable credit for pulling it together, and I give the Mormon church a lot of credit for helping them to do that.”

Popular actress Katherine Heigl valiantly fought her urge to enjoy one of her trademark cigarettes after a meal in Pasadena on Monday. It was a perfect moment for a cigarette; the waiter even put an ashtray on the table for Heigl. Yet Heigl remained steadfast in her decision to restart her New Year''s resolution a few months later. Mrs. Heigl noticed the tension in her daughter's face and slightly nudged the ashtray over to her daughter. Heigl shot the ashtray back like a hockey puck. Heigl said, "I just have this really big food baby, right now. It'll pass in a bit."

Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight made his trainer proud with his bold feats of strength in Hollywood earlier this week. Without the aid of the store's employees, Knight carried a large tube nearly two blocks to his car without even breaking a sweat. Knight attempted to pick up industrial air conditioner unit, but realized that he may need a few more sessions with the trainer before attempting such a bulky item.

Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey got an early start to his Fourth of July weekend by cruising around Brentwood. The photographer asked Dempsey if he knew what happened to all the famous people. Dempsey shrugged his shoulders and suggested that all major celebrities are probably on vacation or just hiding in their luxurious homes. The photographer asked if Dempsey could get some of his more famous friends out in the public because he doesn't want to spend another Saturday walking down Robertson taking pictures of Paris Hilton. After all, he didn't go to college just take pictures of some dingus whose doing her best to the California economy afloat. Before speeding away, Dempsey said that he'll see what he can do, but wouldn't make any promises, adding that he just got back into the cool kid club and doesn't want to ruffle any feathers.

To combat her boredom, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl went house hunting on Thursday afternoon. The actress asked good friend and Grey's co-star T.R. Knight to come along. Heigl said, "Los Feliz has sort of run its course. It's nice and all, but I'm married and I need to look at the big picture. Kids. An army of pets. Perhaps build a home studio in the back so Joshua and myself can finally make that duet album."

According to Us, Joshua is currently in the process of "learning how to do Katherine’s curlers…if you are wondering why my guitar sounds weird, it’s because I burnt my pinkie on the curlers." Burnt your pinkie? On a curling iron? Ok, it's one (admittedly sad) thing to have this happen to you, but it's another entirely to blab to US Weekly about it. If we were in his shoes, we would've made something up about burning it while barbequeing for the troops or, perhaps, during an intense freebasing sesh with Amy Winehouse. At this point, Joshua doesn't even need Katherine to emasculate him; he's doing just fine on his own, thankyouverymuch. Next thing we know, we'll be reading about how he suffered a nasty papercut while opening up a box of tampons. Joshua, at this point, there's only one way to save your ever-diminishing reputation. We've got two words for you. Cirque Lodge. Just ask Kirsten Dunst or Eva Mendes, they'll admit you in for just about anything, so long as your checks don't bounce.

• HEIGL'S HUSBAND STANDS BY HIS WOMAN [MSNBC]

Embattled Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl sent musician/husband Joshua Kelley on an embarrassing trip to the local super market for panty shields, two cartons of cigarettes, firecrackers, and the latest issue of Life & Style. In return, she decided to surprise him by appearing in a bikini when he got home. Now granted, the twosome recently came back from a vacation in Cancun, but Heigl felt that flashing a little skin might help make up for sending him on the mid-afternoon errand. Then, in the blink of an eye, Heigl whipped out her phone, called Joshua and barked something about also bringing back some Cuervo, too.

After her husky voice descends into a dramatic alto of self-aggrandizement after one too many autograph-seekers outstretch their plebeian arms in her direction, the enterprising TMZ cameraman begins lobbing a series of Emmy-related probes at Heigl. After one particular inquiry into whether or not she has had any post-Emmy dropout meetings with the team of writers on Grey's, Heigl's quizzically bitchy and entirely dismissive intonation of the word "writers" has to be heard to be believed.

As these pictures demonstrate, a few of Katherine's favorite things do not include raindrops on roses nor whiskers on kittens — they mainly involve using the useless guy (who gave her a ring she treasures far more than him) as a foot-rest, a shield to block her smoke exhalations, and one of those less attractive girlfriends celebrities enlist to co-analyze their body while asking, over and over, "So is my perfect rack perfect enough? Like is this nipple exactly where it should be? Yeah? Yeah, I know. Man am I tired of being right."

• HEIGL JOINS WRITERS' GUILT OF AMERICA [TMZ]

"I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention," [Katherine Heigl] tells Gold Derby.

"In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials."

Well, isn't that rich? Just one year after her astounding Emmy win, Heigl has basically given the entire staff of Grey's a giant, nicotine-stained middle finger. While we give her publicist kudos for attempting to spin her client's disenchantment with her television career into some sort of pseudo-stand for the integrity of the Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences, we didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. This is a Master And Commander-esque cannonball shot at the writers and show-runners of Grey's for failing to give her enough scenery to chew this season. While we don't watch the show, O'Neil reports that "one of the few dramatic turns she had on the show this past season involved rescuing a deer that had caused a string of car accidents" (which, actually, sounds kind of hilarious). Call us crazy, but if Izzy doesn't pull a Dr. Doug Ross by the middle of next season and skedaddle the fuck out of Seattle Grace Hospital, we'll eat our hat and liveblog it for you all to watch.

"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.

• HEIGL LOOKING TO HANG UP HER 'GREY'S' SCRUBS? [MSNBC]

"I was getting nowhere and I was super-confused. I was like, 'Hello? Do I have something hanging out of my nose? Why aren't you paying any attention to me?"

As we know by now, Heigl and Knight have since become the bestest of BFFs, but all that cutesy PDA they whimsically display at events now seems sad. All those kisses and hugs Heigl lavishes upon T.R. are now laced with the taint of unrequited love. Sadder still is how this news indirectly adds to the list of ways in which Katie has emasculated Josh "Call Me Joshua" Kelley. With no gaydar and an overwhelming desire to prove she wears the pants, Josh's manhood is in even graver danger of extinction.

Before beginning a speech that was to be about how the American public school system needs to improve the quality of sex education classes, Kate Walsh said, "I should know a thing or two about medicine since I've played a doctor on two consecutive hit TV shows, and I also attended Katherine Heigl's wedding." Then Walsh went on a long and rambling diatribe that bore more resemblance to a String Cheese Incident concert than the speech her publicist had prepared. Walsh railed on topics like the crippling impact the WGA strike had her show, Private Practice, Will Ferrell's body odor, the Jonas Brothers' eyebrows situation, health care in America, the appeal of Tracey Ullman and the inability to find a decent piece of red velvet cake in Southern California.

"When [a waitress] showed no interest, he slapped money out of her hand. 'As she picked it up off the floor, he said, 'That's right, bitch, that's where you belong. Pick up the money!'...At one point, he was hunched over a table, then abruptly woke up and shouted out of the blue, 'I am a father of five kids! I am a damn good father! Leave me alone!'"

Oh dear. Certainly the pictures aren't pretty, but before we whip out our Hattori Hanzōs and start going to town, we might want to put the following into consideration: apparently Justin suffers from a "sleep disorder," which even caused him to get emergency treatment last month. And sure, that could explain the drowsiness and the passing out and the slurring, but last time we checked, stars checking themselves into hospitals for all kinds of medical emergencies (asthma! bipolar disorder! exhaustion!), tended to be code speak for a little thing called The Crazies. And when you couple these pictures with the witness' claims, we're led to believe that Justin's in need of more acting roles, not Ambien.

When asked if Washington had apologized to him personally, Knight initially responded, "Which time?" Then, when pressed, he said, "What a lovely blue sky."

When queried about whether Rhimes had come to him and asked what he wanted to happen, he paused thoughtfully before saying, "I like blueberries. Do you like blueberries?"

What was supposed to be a nimble deflection might ultimately end up doing Knight a disservice, as his latest revelation could once again thrust him into the role of mouthpiece for yet another disenfranchised societal subgroup: blueberry lovers. It was a truth he long kept hidden, worried it might have affected his employability in mango-obsessed Hollywood. But should Washington once again succumb to his inner, rage-filled demons, screaming, "At least I'm not your little blueberry whore like T.R.!" during an altercation with a more McDesirable castmate, at least we know that Knight is prepared to answer the call of duty.

• Grey's Anatomy Went "Nuts" Last Night [Towleroad]

"Everyone watches 'Grey's Anatomy' and thinks that all doctors do at hospitals is have sex," said Dr. Ryan Stanton, resident in the department of emergency medicine at the University of Kentucky. [...]

In step with their media counterparts, upcoming medical students and residents are rebelling against the traditional Norman Rockwell white-coat doctor's image by wearing mini skirts, rumpled oxford shirts without ties, unshaven chops, high heels, and other things that may be considered medically inappropriate.

While the thought of a daily visit from a sexily dressed doctor might seem for most of us like a pleasant distraction from the turquoise-walled monotony of a hospital stay, the "Grey's Effect," as concerned health administrators have begun to refer to it, has already begun to creep past the realm of suggestive apparel. For example, several patients have registered complaints that their voiced intentions to seek out a second opinion were met with uncomfortably longwinded monologues from devastatingly thin residents, who begged them to forego further diagnoses and instead, "Pick me! Choose me! Love me."

MEDIA ALERT

ISAIAH WASHINGTON, KATE WALSH, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS AND ALYSON HANNIGAN
TO ANNOUNCE THE 33RD ANNUAL PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS NOMINATIONS

Tuesday, November 7, 2006

That, of course, would be Isaiah "Dr. McChokey" Washington, of Grey's Anatomy, whose feelings on faggots, and the chokeworthy company they keep, is well documented. And who could forget How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick "Not of that persuasion" Harris, who, despite his publicist's alleged claims to the contrary, may want to stand out of arms' length of the hot-headed homo-hater as he reads off a teleprompter about Adam Sandler's nod for his superlative work on Click. And while Washington's thoughts on female faggots—aka lesbians—have yet to be expressed, we'd recommend for safety's sake that both Hannigan (who explored her Sapphic Wiccan side on Buffy The Vampire Slayer), and Walsh (who did the girl-on-girl grind with her Grey's co-star Sandra Oh in Under The Tuscan Sun) do the same.

9:15 PM: Sitting at Lucky Devils on Hollywood and Cherokee. Ellen Pompeo just walked in. She looks pretty hot. I will tell you what she orders as it happens.

9:27PM: So far just a milkshake that she's sharing with her boyfriend. And by sharing, I mean letting him have it all.

9:46PM: It's the Hollywood actress moment I was waiting for. The three people with Pompeo at her table have all ordered cheeseburgers. Pompeo has ordered a big fat plate of nothing. That's right, there are three plates at the table, none of which are in front of Ellen. She's just sitting there watching her friends eat. And that's how you get cast on TV's number one show, boys and girls.

The Big Fat Plate of Nothing Diet may seem like a surefire route to the skeletal figure coveted by every girl with big Hollywood dreams, but not everyone has the self-discipline to adhere to it; one not only has to refrain from ordering their own meal, but must also resist the continual temptation to give in to one's body's selfish, career-killing demands for sustenance by diving across the table and seeking the sweet release of a mouthful of gourmet cheeseburger. If it were as easy as it sounds, everyone would have their own hit television show.
