Heigl really needs to learn how to SHUT UP sometimes. I love and hate her for saying whatever the hell she wants.
Katie Heigl seems like a horrible woman. She really is up her own a$$. With that attitude of hers I'm surprised people want her in their movies. She'll probably have something negative to say about her current movie soon.
Korbi, don't you have more interesting to report, rather than keep on spitting your venom on KAthy Heigl. You don't like her, we get it! Now grow up and be a fuc*ing journalist
Gee they talk about a women they know will get the press just days before their movie comes out. Think some were looking for publicity.
I really don't get the Katherine hate at all. The press really needs to find some other people to write about.
Apatow and Rogan's blokey comedies leave me cold. Katherine Heigl was quite right, all the loser men are portrayed as so lovable while all the women are shown as shrill harpies. Sexist and unfunny and incredibly depressing that no one seems to call them out on it.
I'm not in love with Heigl, but I've always enjoyed her RomCom's. Lately I've noticed she's not quite there. 27 Dresses was painful because she didn't seem to have chemistry with the leading man. I think she's just not in the genre she wants to be in. She should try a horror or an action/suspense movie. Maybe she just doesn't like the RomComs. Because it is starting to come through on screen.
The discussion actually went on a little longer. Apatow said he expected an apologetic phone call from her after the interview came out, but he never got one. Seth said he didn't understand her complaints since she improvised most of her dialogue anyway, but that when he saw her recently he was friendly towards her. Both of them said that during the movie she was actually very cool and a lot of fun. Seth then said that they weren't even the only ones she'd trashed recently and that apparently that's her thing now.
She's been exec producer on her last 2 romcoms so she must like the genre a lot. But this is pretty much the limits of her range - shrill during high drama and predictably trembly on the lower emotional notes. From Roswell to Grey's, she's the sa-a-a-me. She did a Shakespeare adaptation for MTV once, and she never bothered to even try & read the original material. The best actors have a thirst for knowledge. Heigl doesn't have a hope. Apatow doesn't get enough credit for the performance he got out of her in Knocked Up. The Ugly Truth set women back 200 years, she was excruciatingly painful in it.

yeah, after the very ugly "Ugly Truth," "Knocked Up" looks like high art!
