"People! People!
I am a STAR!"

So this lady bugs the crap out of me, but this morning over tea and muffins my friend made a good point: she speaks up when she thinks something’s not right. On the Today Show she was being labeled a diva who might be burning bridges and all this…just because she spoke out? I don't think we should turn this into a witch hunt. I still hate her. I don't like how she got her co-worker fired and I think her complaining a role was sexist (Knocked Up) after she signed on to the project was moronic; at least the lady has the chutzpa to say what she thinks. A lot of women in the industry don't. End rant.

hahaha DIVA!

she's a bitch but I like it that way, better to be outspoken than being the classical "hooker, victim and doormat" actress.

She's not just "speaking out." She deflects blame, trounces on the people who works with, and in general says she's great but everyone's holding her back. That's not speaking out when something's not right. That's arrogance and stupidity.

I sincerely hope that in a few years I can watch South Park and hear "Hey Ike! Do your impersonation of Katherine Heigl's career!"

Some news program or other said, this morning, that she was miffed because her most wrenching scene this year was saving a deer. Last year it was a person. I mean she is playing a doctor, not a vet, so I can see getting pissed. Also, reduced scenes or something. Not that she doesn't suck, but she may have a point, this time.

She requested the reduced scenes to accomodate her movie shooting schedules.

See, the thing is, she should've removed her name with a statement such as "I don't feel I was able to work at Emmy standard due to my limited availablility on the Grey's Anatomy set." Not blamed the writers for doing something she asked them to do.

#6 Kitchy said what I was going to say. You cant ask for reduced scenes (so you can be a "movie star" then bitch about not getting the material that you want. Well you can but then everyone calls you a diva-bitch.

Yeah, she's just annoying as all hell. Don't do the job, cash the cheque, and the badmouth everyone in the film/show. If she's really as great as she seems to think she is, then she should have tables full of scripts waiting for her. Oh… wait… she doesn't? Quel surprise.

Imagine if she weren't in show biz. She'd be one of those annoying people who takes credit when things go well and blames co-workers for any failures: "Well, I could have sold more cargo pants if Jenny had set up a more attractive display."

ha ha Run,

or "I'm not accepting this employee of the month award because I don't feel that I did my best. I wasn't given the opportunity to sell ruby watches during gem week"

It's one thing to speak your mind, and quite another to be an arrogant douche.

As Kitchy rightly pointed out, she could have taken a much, much classier approach.

She requested reduced schedule? Well then, that is a horse of another color! It takes a special sort of person to get what you want and then complain about it. And by special I mean douchetastic. But still, saving a deer? Ouch.

Someone is getting a little too big for their britches. I've said it once and I'll say it again; over-rated.

She will soon realize that her actual talent does not quite measure up to her opinion of herself, and it may take awhile, it may not, but pretty soon she's going to have nothing, if she keeps going the way she's going. And by the way, I've seen shitty roles get awards before, and that never stopped the people from accepting.

My dreams of her being killed off may soon come true!! Thank you, Katherine Heigl, for being the bitch we all know you are!

How can you look that pissed off when you are standing next to Gerard Butler??? Seriously?

Hmm, she may have just got herself written into falling down the proverbial elevator shaft (think Joey's soap opera character on "Friends!")

It will be funny what the writers will pen for her to say now… like a bunch of retarded lines that will ensure she never gets an award…

Next season, all her story lines will center around her battle with a highly resistant strain of yeast, possibly for sweeps, she may need viginoplasty to repair her diseased ridden vag. The season ending clifhanger will be her being diagnosed as having no soul.

The Emmys? You've got to be kidding me, I don't know what the criteria for winning an Emmy is, but quality is rarely the reason someone gets one. If they gave Emmy's out for talent, HBO would win just about every award. The fact that Ian McShane never won one is proof of a corrupt Emmys.

It sounds as if the statement was made in order to make her appear noble. It actually doesn't.

Ultimately the writers ARE at fault if the story lines were crap. They write them, don't they? But isn't that part of the challenge of being an actor? She should have taken those crappy story lines and acted the shit out of them. Crap material is crap material, but the mark of an amazing, award winning actor is how they act through crappy material.

So she says that she hasn't done anything to merit an Emmy nomination. How exactly is that "diva"? It's the exact opposite of it. A diva thinks anything she does should be worshiped.

two words: david. caruso.
