There are few things that taste better than just deserts.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one unsympathetic to Katherine Heigl’s bitching to Letterman about her 17-hour workday on the Grey’s Anatomy set.
Emmy-winning producer Ken Levine talked to the higher-ups at Grey’s who revealed the real reason the pace was so grueling that first day back:
Poor Katherine Heigl. What she neglected to add was this: This “cruel” shooting schedule was only to accommodate HER and her needs. The producers graciously shuffled things around so she could go off and do promotion for her new film. Also, with union rules, the producers had to pay a ton of overtime and penalties to make this happen. The thanks they get is Katherine Heigl going on national television hoping to embarrass them.
Levine calls it “chutzpah.” I think that’s being kind.
Luckily, The Ugly Truth is getting solidly spanked by the critics and opened in third place (behind wizards and guinea pigs). How does such a harpy still find work in this town?

Very interesting, it’s good that someone is speaking out about this. It’s too bad that she couldn’t have included thanks to everyone who accomodated her schedule to footnote her complaint. It really seems as if she’s got some screws loose in her thinking machine, even an idiot knows not to bite the hand that feeds ya in public.
Her days, or years, are probably numbered in Hollywood unless she turns into Mother Teresa Jr. very quickly.
It is so sad when more deserving people could use the money that she makes and then complains about it. I loved 27 dresses, but mainly cause of James Marsden. Yum!
So I guess when she said I wasn’t that good in bed, I should take it with a grain of salt?
She pleasing mix of cute and irascible.

Makes multiple stabbing motions at computer screen!
FS….even the cuteness will not be able to carry her for long, cuteness gets killed by petty bitchiness really quick.
Critics are really bashing her movie…”formulaic” has been used more than once and by more than one critic. Of course, with that storyline everybody knows they will be bumping uglies as soon as they can yank each others’ clothes off…LOL
She’s not half so cute as she thinks she is. And she’s not 10% as cute as she thinks WE think she is. What a bitch. And I don’t mean that in a reclaim-the-term-for-empowered-feminism sort of way. I mean old-school, needs-to-be-punched-in-the-head-by-a-better-woman bitch.
Every once in a while a local talkshow host will say, about whoever the pretty lady of the day is, “as pretty as she is, there’s always someone tired of putting up with her crap.”
Except for maybe Faith Hill, but then I wouldn’t really know.
Well, in Heigl’s case, the someone would be most of America.
Just to note, The Ugly Truth actually did quite well at the box office last weekend. It opened to about $28 million, which is on the level of He’s Just Not That Into You, and has a chance at $100 million. Much better than what people were predicting considering reviews.
Gotta say, even if her new movie is doing well, it *ain’t* because of this harpy. It’s because Gerard Butler is a sexy Scot. ^^ And the only reason I watched 27 Dresses was for James Marsden as well… I can’t stand her and refuse to watch Grey’s Anatomy b/c of her.
i think she’s a total twat and i say we stick her working 8 hours a day starting at a “normal” pay an hour like “normal” people do. geez.
Hopefully this will lead to her getting sacked on Grey’s sometime this season. That should give her enough staying power for about two more crappy RomComs before she fades into D-List obscurity, though one of which will probably co-star Matthew McConaughey and his shirtless torso.
Too bad the Hollywood Squares is no longer in production (it isn’t, is it? Please tell me it isn’t) because she’d be a natural for center square. To block.

Huh, whaddya know. It really is “just deserts.” I will have to show off my newfound grammar knowledge at the next party I go to.

That was incredible-well put indeed!
It’s too bad, because if she hadn’t become such a self-absorbed whiner she might still be on my list of “Celebrities it’d be fun to have a drink with.” Man, that list is getting shorter by the day.
1. She’s a bitch.
2. My mum, female cousins and friends don’t even want to see this movie, and although I love them dearly, they would watch any old crap. They would expect “Ass” from Idiocracy to win an Oscar…and they don’t want to see this movie. Which gives me some indication of how awful it is. Besides the horrible ads, etc. OMG, THE MAN’S HEART IS IN HIS CROTCH, GEDDIT?!
