Is Katherine Heigl a Mean Girl in the Making?
Here is Katherine Heigl and her fiancé Josh Kelley heading out to Cosmo’s in Hollywood on November 29th. They’re so cute, aren’t they? All lovey dovey and smiles. You would never guess then that this star of Gray’s Anatomy is getting a reputation for being kind of a nasty girl in Hollywood. She’s made a few comments unbecoming and people are starting to use the B word in reference to her. First she said the producer of Gray’s only used her character as a ratings ploy. Then, when she got her big screen break in ‘Knocked Up’ she made comments to the effect of the film being sexist and degrading to women. She was also publicly heard blasting the Emmy’s announcer for mispronouncing her name. So, is this a strong woman, or just a bitch? She chalks it up to being a strong woman who tells it like it is, and that if you couch your feelings one is not being true to themselves. Give her props for not backing down on who she is, even when she’s being criticized for it. But perhaps, a little levity would go a little farther for her. Particularly in hugely public appearances such as the uh, Emmy’s.

Katherine is getting such a raw deal for comments that were really not harsh or malicious in any way, shape or form. She did not say her character was a ratings ploy – she said that the George / Izzie relationship was a ratings ploy. She was just agreeing with everyone else who said that the relationship is cazy and out of character. She said a million times she loved Knocked Up and it was the best filming experience of her life – she just felt it was a little sexist. She added that she also realised in order to be a comedy you have to exaggerate things. There was certainly no malicious intent on her behalf. As for the Emmy thing, they should know how to pronounce her name – it is their job. Getting wrong on a big night like that after rehearsals in unacceptable.
She is one of the nicest celebs out there, but she is just honest in her opinions and stands up for what she believes in.
