CAN YOU TAKE HEIGL WITH YOU? Spoiler alert: "Brooke Smith ends her run as Dr. Erica Hahn this Thursday on the ABC hit Grey's Anatomy. She joined the cast last season as the outspoken and brash Dr. Hahn, quickly becoming a fan favorite. On Thursday's episode Dr. Hahn made a weepy declaration that she was a lesbian after her bond with Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) quickly moved into relationship territory. EW.com's Michael Ausiello reported Monday that the relationship's fast clip may have factored in the decision to dump Smith. But show creator Shonda Rhimes denied the allegation."

• The "Izzie's getting killed off of Grey's Anatomy!" rumors are making a comeback. We're still on board with anything involving less Katherine Heigl. [ICYDK]

• Jennifer Aniston sinks her claws back into Gerard Butler. Why can't everyone just leave G.But alone? [PS]

SPOILER ALERT "Katherine Heigl could be killed off Grey's Anatomy next season [by] giving her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a brain tumor. … Still, there’s good news for fans sad to see Izzie suffer: newly single Jeffrey Dean Morgan will reprise his role as hunky patient Denny Duquette, whom Izzie will see in visions brought on by the tumor."

Looks like Katherine Heigl might have to take her whining elsewhere, because rumor has it Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is considering killing off Heigl's Izzie Stevens. And not just because the character has become insufferable — Katherine's recent comments about the upcoming Emmys have pissed off the writers and others on the set.

'It's not good there,' a source tells of the Grey's Anatomy set. 'Shonda is pissed. They're thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead.'

Congrats, Katherine! Now you can leave that worthless little show and get on with your dreams of becoming the next Jennifer Aniston.

BOOBS OBSESSING OVER THE BOOBS OF BOOBS "Jessica Simpson, who was slammed this week by Pamela Anderson for wearing a T-shirt that said 'Real Girls Eat Meat,' has gotten her revenge on the former 'Baywatch' babe by beating her to the top spot in InTouch Weekly’s 2008 Best Breast poll. Simpson’s chest was followed closely by that of Tyra Banks, Scarlett Johansson, Carmen Electra, Lindsay Lohan and Katherine Heigl. Audrina Patridge’s very own 'Hills' earned seventh spot with Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox and Beyonce Knowles rounding out the Top 10."

• Trouble in Mariah and Nick's eternal 12-year-old paradise? [SH]

A day after Katherine Heigl announced she was pulling her name from the Emmy race because she wasn't "given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination," a Grey's Anatomy insider fired back with some choice words of his/her own:

The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material? It's an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.

We would kill to be a fly on the wall when filming begins for next season.

At right: This is how we picture Katherine — in between shooting scenes for The Ugly Truth — on the set of every project.

Katherine Heigl — who publicly complained about Knocked Up, the movie that made her a star — will not be repeating her Emmy win from last year because she pulled her name from consideration. Why would she do that, you ask? Because she's an idiot. And she's an even bigger idiot for giving a reason that alienates the Grey's Anatomy writers.

I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention. In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.

While she does have a point, surely there was a much better way to go about this. Like — going out on a limb here — she could have just kept her mouth shut?

After the jump: A clip of some of that great material.

DON'T GET OUR HOPES UP Just weeks after Grey’s Anatomy returned with new episodes, sources are saying Katherine Heigl is itching to hang up her scrubs. 'She's working really long hours and is ready to move on,' a source close to the actress told Us Weekly."

Notoriously vinegary fake doctor Katherine Heigl apparently doesn't like it when her gay boyfriend, TR Knight, takes breaks from their 'tini benders to graciously sign autographs for appreciative fans. Watch here as the Knocked Up battle-ax verbally asks Knight to stop talking to a throng of supporters before physically yanking him away. Someone get Izzie a chill pill, stat.

Katherine Heigl is reportedly trying to get out of her Grey's Anatomy contract so she can become a serious movie actress. This is all coming from the National Enquirer, so take it with a grain of salt.

After starring in the hit films Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, Katherine believes she has outgrown the small screen.

'Katherine has even suggested to Grey’s producers that they kill her character Dr. Izzie Stevens in dramatic fashion so her exit could bring in huge ratings,' a pal of the 29-year-old Emmy winner told The Enquirer.

Someone stars in a couple chick flicks and they think they're too good for Grey's? Let's hope McDreamy isn't aware of that rule.

In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, Mollygood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day – using 17 syllables or less – you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of Mollygood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.

Today's Someone Haiku winner is Tupelo:

Kanye, you were wrong-
See, I don’t hate black people.
Dude, where’s my wallet?

So, so good, that one.

We hear word that some oddly popular event happened last night in Los Angeles. We're not really sure what it was all about, but we've got pictures of some of the self-congratulatory, insular men and women in attendance after the jump.

Two Beverly Hills plastic surgeons recently asked a bunch of people who are unhappy with the way they look what they would consider perfect celebrity features. As if it weren't a disgusting enough enterprise, Star magazine took the project one step further by then using the survey's results to form composite images of what hopeless, narrow motherfuckers believe to be ideal beauty.

At right are artisanal SuperCelebs Star mashed together from the following:
