Katherine Heigl Ready To Beg GREY’S ANATOMY For A Job

katherine_heigl_drunk Katherine Heigl is an ungrateful, diva bitch. She was blessed with the opportunity to be the lead actress in Judd Apatow’s comedy “Knocked Up” and then slammed it for what she found to be an offensive portrayal of women (I’m sure that didn’t stop her from cashing those checks though). Then Heigl started digging her heels into ABC‘s “Grey’s Anatomy” which put her on the map in the first place when she withdrew herself from the Emmy considerations because, according to her, the writers of “Grey’s” weren’t giving her Emmy worthy material.

Pissing on the writers is never a good idea, leading many to believe her character would soon develop a brain tumor. At first things remained smooth at the PR-level, but eventually there was no denying it. Heigl wanted out of her contract and the show wanted her gone. Voila! Enter tumor stage left.

Guess what now. Heigl’s suddenly realized she lacks the star power she once had and now really wants to stay on at “Grey’s Anatomy”:

Katherine Heigl said Friday she’s ready to stay with “Grey’s Anatomy” and the decision rests with the show.

Attending a studio party to mark the ABC medical drama’s 100th episode, Heigl said it’s premature to think her days as Dr. Izzie Stevens are numbered.

“I don’t know if I live or die. I don’t know how Izzie fares,” said the actress, who’s played the character since the show debuted in 2005.

“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.

On Friday, Heigl said she’s comfortable balancing movies and TV by working on big-screen projects during the summer hiatus for “Grey’s Anatomy.”

“I’m more than happy to make that compromise.”

Ahh, suddenly she wants to stay and loves everyone involved. That’s quite a turn around from last summer. My suggestion: keep her character in the plot but make her a mute quadriplegic with one of those blowing-straw operated wheelchairs as a result of the brain surgery. She’ll have to show up every week for work but have zero dialogue and plotlines that involve her crapping her pants at every turn. It’s a win-win.

My sugestion is that you get some of your facts right and get a complete reality check to the fictional world you live in. Heigl earned $300k for Knocked Up. She got $6 million for her last two movies and $6million for the one she is about to start filming. Do you really think she is that worried if she lives or dies on Grey’s Anatomy. Secondly she didnt slammed Knocked Up at all. When asked in an interview if she felt the movie was sexist towards women, she said that she felt it was a little bit sexist and that it painted the women as uptight and the guys a loveable goofs. However, she explained that she hoped women realised this character exaggeration was part of the comedy. She said many times it was the best experience of her life. Another fact she did not withdraw from Emmy nominations. She just did not submit her name for consideration along with about 20,000 other actors who didnt submit either. The fact is she was right too..her material was crappy. Did you see her storylines or ever watch the show? The critics were mauling it – she agrees with them and suddenly is slated for it. My suggestion is that we mute you instead because everything you write is crap.

Did Heigl kick your puppy or something, Matt? Get a grip.

LMFAO

She backed over it with her movie career, so luckily the puppy wasn’t hurt at all.

Seriously though, she big time trashes the writers of “Grey’s” who helped put her on the map. Then she throws Apatow under the bus for his “sexist” portrayal of women in the movie that showed she could do movies. I stand by my assessment.

@Nofac: Really? She didn’t withdraw her name, you say? Well that’s funny because Katherine Heigl says that Katherine Heigl withdrew her name from Emmy consideration:

“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,” [Heigl] tells Gold Derby.

Also, Heigl only issued the “clarification” that it was the “best experience” after the backlash over her negative comments on “Knocked Up”: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20165062,00.html

But hey, whichever makes you feel better.
