DISQUS

What an idiot this girl is. Not only do I agree with your assessment, has she considered what a comment like this does to her when she tries to get other roles? What director will ever cast her in any sort of controversial role knowing that she will probably just wait until right before christmas and start blathering on about how immoral it is... What a jerk, a spoiled little hypocratic jerk.

And how bad is that first picture... Did she just wake up and throw on the first pair of oversized pleather pants and skin tight leapord tank she could find?

BSE -- I like that first picture. Picked it out myself.

Anyway, back to the issue at hand. First off, I think that Vanity Fair could be taking this out of context. But then again, she probably did say that. And yeah, Josh's assessment about the film is right on -- 'Knocked Up' is a movie that if anything, shows male's as the lesser gender. And I'm ok with that -- because in general, we are the lesser gender.

What I would say is that I feel bad for Katherine. Here she is, having an interview and this comes spewing out of her mouth. Now her (potentially) off-handed comment is going to bring on a world of heat from the media (namely those of us who loved 'Knocked Up' and worship Judd Apatow). She made a mistake, and that happens. I still think she's a good actress -- but as John Voight said once, she needs to get a filter on "that brain-mouth thing."

Neil, quit being such a girl! Katherine Heigl is a whore for the entertainment industry. She's just showing her diva nature. Big surprise.

Let's face it, no one saw Knocked Up because of her (and how pathetic is it that the main poster and DVD cover art didn't feature the TV star hot girl but rather the funky mug of the pretty much then-unknown Seth Rogan?). And I predict that 27 Dresses will at least do better than her other tour-de-force of acting in Zzyxx Road.

I think her Grey's Anatomy showrunner Shonda Rimes is rubbing off on her, hating on men who like good looking women. Just wait until that show ends and the regular Hollywood producers start telling her to lose some weight and get those Kirsten Dunst teeth of hers fixed.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! She will slowly fall into obscurity along with all the other "blonde bombshells" that have come and gone. Her only hope is to find an indie film like Scarlet's Lost in Translation to prove she is more than a pretty face. Until then, she will remain as (insert blonde here) in obscure comedies.

I am biased because I haven't liked her since she got diarrhea of the mouth during her acceptance speach at the Emmy's. She went on about how deserved she is because of how hard she has worked. Im sure Lorraine Bracco, Rachel Griffiths,
Sandra Oh, Aida Turturro and Chandra Wilson were fine with losing because they didn't have to put in any effort whatsoever to make their acting career happen.

Celebrities like anyone else have to take responsibility for what they say. They are walking billboards for the films, products and other things they endorse. She should be more cautious of what she says, or more selective of the roles she accepts.
