I’m Sick Of Katherine Heigl
Is anybody else as sick of Katherine Heigl as I am? All of a sudden she’s become the de facto star of “Grey’s Anatomy” because she starred in a couple of moderately successful romantic comedies—”Knocked Up” and “27 Dresses” and everyone in Hollywood is touting her as this year’s it girl.
Well now word comes that she took herself out of Emmy contention this year because she doesn’t think her role of Izzie Stevens was worthy of Emmy consideration. As Meg at Bitten and Bound says:
The actress is clearly unhappy with her reduced story line in the weekly scripts that have been written for Season 4. Logic would suggest that last years Emmy winner would get a juiced up script to match her proven acting chops. Heigl’s role this year was considerably diminished and she has decided not to hold back in making a statement that is bound to cause the upper echelon at ABC to see red.
I’d bet ABC and executive producer Shonda Rhimes. What do you want to bet next season Izzie Stevens decides she needs to join Doctors Without Borders and work in the farthest reaches of Africa? She really won’t have to worry about being in Emmy contention then, will she?
