Katherine Heigl tones down to repair her image problem

 

Katherine Heigl is finally learning how to play the Hollywood Game. And that makes the Dish Rag very sad.

Who can forget the headlines when Katherine blamed "Grey's Anatomy" writers for not giving her Emmy-worthy material?  Or the furor when she criticized the sexist way women were portrayed in her hit rom com "Knocked Up," which got Judd Apatow all riled up.
 
Sure, she was biting the hands that feed her. But how we loved her honesty, something so rare in carefully and politically articulated Hollywood.

She admitted on Thursday (Oct 7) to KTLA's Sam Rubin that the perception of her being too honest for Hollywood (written about in the Sunday New York Times) is well-deserved. But she's trying to change.  

"I think that was fair," Heigl said of the too honest part. "It's something that I spent a lot of time the last year thinking about and figuring out." She added, "My career is important to me and I'm really passionate about trying to keep it ... I don't want to be the person digging my own grave,"

She admitted that she's still trying to figure out where she went off track.
And she doesn't think it was her words as much as her tone.

"It just had a tone.. that is the most important thing I've learned... I can let go of the tone, maybe not be so edgy.".

Watching the video, we can already see the words being carefully chosen and rolled around in her head before she utters them.  Aw, we miss the old honest Katherine already.

ALL YOUR MOVIES SUCK....

I love that you and Katherine think it's because she's "too honest" for Hollywood. I have a lot of girl friends that say they liked her on Grey's, but when they started seeing her on talk shows, and reading her interviews... they realized that she's an enormous *****. It has nothing to do with honesty, it's her attitude, and from all the behind the scenes stories from her time on Grey's... well it seems that her attitude has been bad for a long time.

Plus, as the person above me stated, her movies have sucked. At least the movies where she's the star... pick better movies and magically her career will get back on track.

@JayJay: I think you left the "Va" off at the beginning of your name.

I like Heigl and also appreciated her earlier off-the-cuff not-so-polished remarks. :)

She has always been a behind the sceens nightmare. I liked her Greys but she plays the same character over and over again in her movies. If you've seen one you've seen them all.

I adore her! 'Greys' is definitely not the same without her, whether it be for her comedic charm or her ability to take sharp dramatic turns. I appreciate her honesty and her outspoken opinionated nature, I think that's rare and should be kept throughout her career. The one think I wish, however, is that she perhaps branch out from all these romantic comedies and dive into some real dramatic roles. She has the chops, why won't she do it?

Obnoxious Know It All

she's a douche bag im sorry...27 dresses and knocked up r her best movies tht she has killers buhaha and this new 1 w/ duhmel chile pls...

A lot of people hates honesty, she was really honest: knocked up was sexist, funny but sexist and greys anatomy give her crappy scripts the best story that season was taking care of a deer (really bad scripts).

All the other stuff are just plain gossip, but most of the public just expect shinny happy stars, sad for them and now for Heigl because she needs to "act" in interviews just to keep working

I enjoy her movies, but I would like to see her in a more serious roles.
