I have been fan of Katherine Heigl's since her Greys Anatomy days, and thought this was a pretty interesting read.
** What's soured many in the industry, according to several executives and producers who have worked with Heigl, is more than just the exceptionally difficult behavior and demands of Heigl and her manager mother, Nancy. There also is Heigl's habit of airing her grievances in public, including her 2008 denunciation of her first hit film, Knocked Up, as "sexist," as well as her announcement later that year that she would not seek an Emmy for her performance in ABC's Grey's Anatomy because the writing wasn't good enough.
Not even five short years ago, Heigl commanded $12 million for a movie. Her 2009 romantic comedy The Ugly Truth pulled in more than $200 million worldwide. But her most recent effort, The Big Wedding, topped out at $21.8 million domestic with a paltry 7 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. To be fair, that was something of an ensemble effort with a cast that included Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton. Her most recent film before that, One for the Money, managed only $37 million worldwide with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 2 percent. **

"She bit the hand that fed her one too many times."
I agree, and I'll add, Who does she thinks she is, Bette Davis?

I just saw Me & Jezebel recently so this made me laugh out loud.

Sure. How about a remake of The Elephant Man?

Posted: 9/12/13 at 4:42pmShe should star in a Lifetime movie with Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes. It would be a wonderful train wreck.

She'll need a lot more drugs and copious amounts of crazy before getting near Lohan or Bynes. She's just a bitch who put too much faith in a fluke series of RomCom successes.

Posted: 9/12/13 at 4:53pmWhat happens when the fairy tale isn't what you thought it would be? Next summer, Academy Award watcher Katherine Heigl stars in PRETTY WOMAN 2: VIVIAN'S REVENGE.

True. I just put it out there because we all know how wonderful Lindsay's movie was.
In my opinion, she already has played a bitch role. After season 2 of Grey's, Izzie just became unbearable and really annoying and rude. Well, I guess I should say season 2 with Denny turned her into that. That's what I think, anyway.
