Katherine Heigl Wants to Quit

katherine_heigl3.jpgKatherine Heigl has gotten awfully big for her scrubs.

Despite lengthy negotiations last year during which she argued that her character was integral to Grey’s Anatomy and therefore she deserved a fat raise, she is now trying to get out of her contract to focus on her movie career:

ā€œKatherine has even suggested to ā€˜Grey’s’ producers that they kill her character Dr. Izzie Stevens in dramatic fashion so her exit could bring in huge ratings,ā€ a pal of the 29-year-old Emmy winner told The Enquirer.

This revelation comes on the heels of her box office success in chick flick 27 Dresses, not to mention some snotty comments she made not that long ago about Grey’s Anatomy and Knocked Up.

She also presented at the Oscars last weekend and clearly was a big ball of nerves; she explained that she “just felt very out of my league” around all those major movie stars — a sentiment I tend to agree with.

Go Boycott Yourself

Here’s American Spectator managing editor J.P. Freire talking to Neil Cavuto about the McCain/Eisman “scandal”:

As Big Head DC points out, Freire doesn’t have much room to talk about the New York Times being unreliable and boycott-worthy for printing a story about an alleged sex scandal based on anonymous sources. After all, back in ‘93 the Spectator ran David Brock’s Troopergate story — remember that one? — which was also based on anonymous sources. Not to mention keeping alive the rumor that Bill Clinton was the illegitimate father of a child with an African-American woman, which has never been proven.

Not that it makes the NYT right for doing the same thing, but if we’re going to boycott one, we should boycott the other.

Oprah’s Sole Series

oprah_looking_rich.jpg(Last shoe post of the week, I promise.)

On yesterday’s show, Oprah discussed “freegans,” or otherwise normal people who dig through dumpsters in search of food and other goods. Ick.

The interviewee, an executive named Madeleine Nelson, earns a six-figure salary but hasn’t purchased clothes for three years and spends less than $20 a week on the few groceries that she can’t find in the trash.

Oprah seemed to encourage the alternative lifestyle during her chat with Madeleine and special correspondent Lisa Ling:

Madeleine: Consumerism is really driven by corporations who make lots and lots of money –

Oprah: By getting us to buy things.

Madeleine: By getting us to buy things.

Lisa: Oprah, the freegans believe, in a way, we are slaves to buying and consumerism –

Oprah: But we are. We are, are we not?

Yes, damn the man and their enslavement of us through pretty, pretty things! Oprah really drove the point home by wearing a seemingly brand-new pair of Christian Louboutin pumps — identified by their telltale red soles — during the interview.

Maybe they were one of the 21 pairs that Jessica Seinfeld sent her as a thank-you for promoting her book.

Quick Perez Hilton Followup

Click here if you don’t know the story from yesterday. Queerty.com has copies of the IM conversations between Perez and the younger, less blimplike blogger he tricked into sending him… oh, let’s be mature about this and call them totally gay slappy-slappy wingwang videos. (WARNING: Link contains full frontal nudity and full frontal sadness.)

It feels creepy to pry into the guy’s personal business, but then… this kind of stuff is why he’s on VH1, right? Sow, reap, etc.
