Katherine Heigl Slaps ‘Greys’ Writers in Face

amazing how the talented ones are the most humble. heigl should be counting her blessings that someone without any acting ability has made it as far as she has.

What a hypocrite! I don’t know why anyone would want to cast her in movies.

I stopped watching Grey’s long ago because of her, and I don’t buy tickets for her films, because she’s so obnoxiously self-righteous.

Haven’t seen this past season, so I can’t compare. But I do think she could have formulated her opinion a bit more diplomatically, and should have talked to the writers earlier on, if she was unhappy with the script. But I also think, even if the script isn’t excellent, a really good actor is still able to make a decent show out of it by playing esceptionally well and putting in the rigtht interpretation to spice up whatever the script is lacking.

Oh, and by the way, if you have a second to spare, please visit my new blog http://sunnykidstyle.wordpress.com/ about stylish design for kids and feel free to give me some feedback. I’d really appreciate it :):)

my mistake sorry

Honestly she’s so right. Grey’s went down since mid of s3 and I hope after taht amazing fianle everything will be up soon. But Izzie’s storylines sucked badly.

I thought it was unfair that she didn’t get the equal paycheque of her Greay Anatomy co-stars. Now I realise what she’s all about. Katherine STFU and be greatful for what you’ve got. She’s not that great an actor. If she keeps it up she won’t have a career at all.

So annoying and ungrateful. Why don’t you just leave then?

What an arrogant b…h! If she feels she doesn’t deserve to be nominated, fine, she could say there are more deserving actresses, but no; she had to say it was because she wasn’t given good enough material for her to shine! Another slap!

It’s true; the talented ones are humble and respectful. The good thing is when GA ends she’ll be back to anonymity!

lol, she’s lucky she has her own production company now…i think other movie people will not want to hire her that much she’s trashed everything she’s done after she’s done it. KU, 27 Dresses and now grey’s. At least in her company she can hire herself even thought anotehr actress could probably do better.

She should take her own advice and just stop talking……i love watching her shot herself in the foot all the time its so entertaining :)

wuah I hate how her fame got to her head! gooosh!
she’s just annoying! and rude!
look at Patrick, he manages to be successful AND a nice person! He says he’s greatful for what GA helped him achiefe.. and Katie just doesn’t see that if it weren’t for GA.. she’d still be hidden somewhere and wouldn’t have gotten those roles in Knocked up and 27 Dresses and all! ANNOYING!

Girl speaks her mind & is blasted for it.

She is right. What exactly did she have to work with last season ? Nothing. Good on her declaring herself out of the Emmy race.

Given Greys is down 25% in ratings & she has a thriving movie career, I don’t blame her for wanting some decent material if she is to stay on Greys.

#18 - I agree with your post. Heigl is a bankable movie star now, so everything she says is jumped on regardless.

still a arrogant bish.

Her bashing Grey’s Anatomy also effects other people’s jobs connected to that show.
You supporters of her so called “honesty” forget the rippled effect her bad mouthing does. Less people watch the show and that puts not only the careers of the other actors in jepordy but the rest of the monior cast crew who most likely don’t make as much as her.
If she were off the show and wanted to speak openly that is one thing BUT to bad mouth her show while on it, makes her to be an idiot. And in that small town..it will backfire on her. THEN she has the nerve to still bring Isiah Washington into the mix to deflect attention off her ingratitude.

Hmmmm I think I sense the death of a supporting character next season……………..ha
Katherine needs to get over herself and stop biting the hand that feeds her.

Speaking her mind? She’s biting the hand that feeds her.

she could have pulled out without the blasting her writers but that would require her not being a selfish diva *****. give her 2 lines next season writers — better yet don’t write for her at all.

who the hell will want to write for her in this movie career she wants? she blasted seth rogan she blasted grey’s anatomy. the girl needs to do what she told isaiah and just not freaking talk period.

Snaggle tooth speaks again…

What are you people talking about, everytime people say no to something like this you all just assume it’s a slap in the face to the writers. Maybe she just wants to give someone else a chance. To me she seems like a very genuine person that is not greedy. Did any of you people ever think of that. Stop making a big thing out of nothing and stirring up **** all the time.

she is getting too big for her boots, 27 dresses sucked, the chick who plays “fern mayo” in jawbreakers made me laugh more than she did!! LOL

It has been reported she wants out of her Grey’s contract because of her burgeoning film/producing career. Ya think this latest has something to do with that?? Hmmm?

she has such a BIG MOUTH!!
sweet lord, just take the nomination, and smile!
be thankful people still hire you!

That is her opinion. But she also shows lack of decorum. Maybe she thinks that she is being a smart.

She has a speak first, think second or not at all mentality. Her outrageous comments will continue to come back to bite her in the tush.

click here!!thanks:D

When I first read this, I thought that she made a formal statement to the press about this. Last night I saw the footage of paps surrounding her walking down the street asking her why she withdrew her name. She probably should have just said “no comment”, but she didn’t. Not a shocker, since she hasn’t been shy about voicing her opinion in the past.

I have no problem with people being honest - I’d prefer that than people who say what they think everyone wants to hear. She obviously wants off the show, but she has a contract she can’t get out of. Hopefully she realizes that she’s burning bridges saying things like this in public. Maybe there is no other way for her to get herself out of her contract?

Classless talentless chain smoking trash, not even pretty.

If the role sucked (she really got lucky with the “Denny” storyline) then it shows some class to decline the nomination. She shouldn’t have made any comment about it at all; just decline.

can someone tell me what she said about knocked up please?

i think it was in poor taste to put the writers on blast. it is one thing to decline but it is another to put those who put you in this same position on blast. it shows that she is ungrateful not only for her comments, but for wanting to leave grey’s also. without the show, she would be a hasbeen like she was.

She’ s an ass, an arrogant ass. Heigl sucks!

MEDIOCRE ACTRESS WITH TOO MUCH -SMOKE- BLOWN UP HER OWN A** NO PUN INTENDED

33# are you actually being serious in your comment????!!!!!! I’m sorry but have you read the post clearly because that’s not telling me that she may want to give another person a chance, that’s showing me a lack of gratitude and respect to the people who put her in the Holloywood ladder today.

Others on this comment board are right in that if she had a problem with her character in the show, then go to the writers themselves or whatever to sort everything out rather than slamming them in front of the public, and seriously if she did want to bring the matter into the public’s eye, than there’s a constructive and polite way of doing so, which she obviously forgot in her ‘I’m an honest person’ mode that she probably still hadn’t gotten off of after slamming Knocked Up.

She sucks at acting, one of the worst actress I’ve seen get this far.

there’s speaking your mind, and then there’s insulting other people.
she’s a spoiled, overrated and overpaid egomaniac, and she needs to realize that she’s not the only person in the world.
blaming the writers for her not deserving an Emmy is insulting to them, and making everyone else bend to fit her schedule is insulting to the other actors and all the people who put so much effort into making that show as great as it is. it basically says “i’m better than all of you, so if you want me, you will do what i say”
she always says that her character lacks depth and whatnot, but what does she call this? “i don’t deserve an Emmy..but it’s not my fault, it’s the writers’!”…REAL deep.
personally i like her character better! TV’s new “golden girl” will be getting a real kick in the face when they decide they don’t want to put up with her and she gets unexpectedly kicked off the show.
hey, it’s happened before!

64# . wow. Please don’t tell me that you believe that KH can alone launch No 1 movies in Box Office because that is taking it too far. Just because she had ONE movie that did well in the box office, you’re going and generalising it to everything that she is supposedly going to doin the future?

And please, why are you trying to come up with lame excuses about why Kh said what she said. When one is asked a question such as why did you take your name out for a nomination, if the answer can be answered in a constructive manner without causing any controversy or bashing than she should have done that when speaking the ‘truth’, rather than blaming the writers for her character’s not so good storyline whatnot, that’s just bullshit. Honesty is always appreciatred when the person who is being honest does it right without a spiteful and rude manner which I’m sorry to say is exactly what KH did and it’s going to bite her in the ass in the near future.

Heigl was quite brave to state the obvious. Season 4 was crap. She got ***** material, she would probably get a nom because this is how things roll with the Emmys.

SO didn’t have anything to do all season, and she is entering and risks getting a nom for doing nothing all season, and will be very happy.

CW got the material, and botched it. She proved that she cannot carry the dramatic material, and will be stuck doing the “nazi” ’til the show ends, and she will get a nod.

EP can’t act, she does perplexed, and hurt and perplexed. So they write her doing the only 2 things she can do over and over. This season she mastered the happy perplexed in the finale. She might get a nom.

So kudos KH. It was an horrid, and boring season, and you are right to slam the writers, and very right not to embarrass yourself with a nomination for an season and material that doesn’t measure up to the 3 preceding seasons.

i say good on her!!! thats why i love her she is always sooo honest! this past season of grey was the worst so her comments were true. hope the writers are listening.

also i think its a beautiful and humble thing to do - as she said it makes room for others this year to win. another reason why i love her, she could of easily got a nomination but spoke up and thought she didnt deserve one and that she would rather someone else get one.

GO KATIE!!!!! love you!!!!

#70 ur joking right…..2…she only has one and that is 27 dresses and that was nothing to write home about. KU was a success due to its writers and the guys…..she was the weakest link in that cast.

I feel sorry for the other actors that have to work with this woman, i really do she is insufferable.

Maybe she should give back her salary or just get off the show all together. What is the point of talking trash about the show that made you a star in the first place. She isn’t famous from her acting anyway. If she didn’t have her looks, she would have nothing. Her personality obviously isn’t admirable. She had a big part in getting a co-star booted off over the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Maybe they should have kept Burke on the show. It hasn’t been as good without him but she played a large role in heating up that incident with her big mouth, too.

i think maybe people did not understood well what she ment, im not a natural english speaker but i get the idea she didnt felt kind like ready jet or that she havent work enough to go there kind like it would be for nothing if she ahs nothign she feel like giving is not about the material someone givesyou to work with, the work of an actor is much more…is about the actor itself.. writters give you liens nad story but the actor itselfs gives the life and actitutes and wrigns to live the character and if wasnt reayd she jsut wasnt *-* why would it mena as an agression agaisnt the writters?
xoxo

This woman is so full of herself, and I really don’t see why. She’s been very very lucky in a year when producers were desperate for product because of the strike.

She could very well be the next David Caruso..

Get a dictionary STAT, right now I’ll help you, with the assistance of the nice people that make Merriam-Webster
hypocrite
Pronunciation: \ˈhi-pə-ˌkrit\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English ypocrite, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin hypocrita, from Greek hypokritēs actor, hypocrite, from hypokrinesthai
1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

One thing KH never pretended was that she was at the picket line because she supported the writers, and the strike. She said she was there because her boss told her so. You can’t be more honest than that. KH’s big problem is exactly that. She doesn’t play the .hypocrite card.

LOL.

she doesnt even want to be on grey’s anymore so it really doesnt matter if the writers kill her off or w/e. cuz she said before that she wanted to leave but she still has a contract soo yeaa….

Real Writing talent in Hollywood is very rare. That is why there is so much garbage on TV (and at athe movies) and all shows end up boring after a few seasons. They run out of ideas - the mediocre writers, that is. Network TV is a wasteland of poorly written dramas, investigative police shows and ridiculously stupid half hour sit coms. Cable is getting all the good writers especially the USA Network, HBO and Showtime..

She has every right to disagree with the writers, SHE made Izzie, more than any writer’s paper EVER could have.

The writers have BUTCHERED the character of “Izzie” That character used to be my absolute favorite on the show..but now I don’t even like it when she comes on the screen (definitely not a flaw of Heigl). They have destroyed many other characters in the process as well, and they are turning the show into SH*T

I’m glad she made a stand for it, I’m sure many other Grey’s fans think the EXACT same way

I hope the writer’s quit making up stupid crap just to try to get ratings, because they really are destroying the characters.

I agree with her decision. I think it’s actually thoughtful of her to withdraw her name if she wasn’t qualified enough. And how would it have been fair to the other nominees who work harder, have more lines and have a bigger role on a show than her?

But, I also think that if she had a problem with her role, she should’ve confronted the writers and producers first before making an unexpected move like that.

I don’t know. I’m at both ends on this one.

If she “wasn’t qualified,” she just wouldn’t make the cut. To say she’s withdrawing to give someone else a chance implies that if she stayed in, they *wouldn’t* have a chance.

In Hollywood, there is a way things get done, and a way things do *not* get done. There’s a way the game is played, and it’s a good thing. You do not go around publicly badmouthing your project — you go to the source and fix it, or you keep your mouth Closed.

I think people submit *themselves* for consideration to be nominated for an Emmy. You send in an application and a clip. So if she didn’t want to be nominated, she just didn’t have to send one in. Or if she *did* get nominated, you stay in the race to win points for the team — even to be listed as a “nominee” is good for the show.

Tom Hanks told that to his son, Colin Hanks — show ‘business’ is in two parts. The part that’s fun, is making the “show”. But there’s a *business* side to it, too, and that’s where playing the game is important. A lot of money rides on these things, and if you’re on the team, you have to be a team player. Any mention or notice of a show or movie — barring the openly badmouthing kind of mention — is good publicity for the show.

And uncounted people’s livings are hanging by a thread on this stuff: after the Emmys, networks tally the number of noms and wins they got, and that each show got, to use in advertising. This benefits everyone — the lowliest crew members up to the highest network execs, whose careers are riding on it.

One thing KH has always had going for her was that she knew how to smile, hug, handshake, and play her cards, to get people to put her in a show to begin with. I’m astonished that she continues to show such amazingly bad judgment in the way she’s playing the game now — as I said above, it seems that she thinks she’s too big to have to worry about it. If Tom Hanks is not too big to worry about it, then KH for certain is not there yet.

How long do you think a major league baseball player would continue to earn those big bucks if he forgets how to play the game? (And I don’t just mean the game in the stadium.) We’ve seen it — they screw up, they get their butts kicked. Drugs, bimbos, trashing hotel rooms, not showing up for training, etc. — you don’t play, you pay.

I think I can forgive her. She has the symptoms of someone who has Asperger syndrome. People who are normal are aware how their actions affect others and she has none of that.

I really liked your blog! super
