Title: Katherine heigl vanity fair

It wouldn’t be a Katherine Heigl interview if it didn’t involve some level of controversy, now would it? In a lengthy conversation with Vanity Fair, the Emmy-winning actress, who just turned 29, is as outspoken and honest as ever, even when it comes to deriding her own smash hit comedy from 2007 as “a little sexist.”
Katherine Heigl says that Knocked Up “paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she such a killjoy? Why is this how you’re portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time it was amazing, but it was hard for me to love the movie.”
Katherine Heigl: Beautiful, and speaking her mind, as always.
As for Heigl’s Grey’s Anatomy character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, who began an affair with her married best friend, Dr. George O’Malley, last season, Katherine became concerned about her character’s seemingly uncharacteristic actions:
“That was kind of a big change for Izzie, wasn’t it, after she was so up on her moral high ground. They really hurt somebody, and they didn’t seem to be taking a lot of responsibility for it. I have a really hard time with that kind of thing. I’m maybe a little too black-and-white about it. I don’t really know Izzie very well right now. She’s changed a lot. I’m trying to figure her out and keep her real.”
Katherine Heigl is well aware of the commercial considerations that often drive such decisions, calling Gizzie (George and Izzie) “a ratings ploy… It was absolutely something that shocked people; it wasn’t predictable, and people didn’t see it coming. It’s our fourth season; there’s not a lot of spontaneity left. And business is business; I understand that, but I want there to be some cooperation between the business end and the creative end, so there’s some way of keeping it real.”

*hugs you*
Yay a Katie interview. She always is saying something interesting, that woman. I see her point about “Knocked Up”… It really did show her and Leslie Mann’s characters as fun-suckers and killjoys… Always fun-suckers and killjoys.
I wonder if this is on stands yet…

DO NOT see it with your grandma!! AH!
I couldn't imagine... Oh lord. I saw it with my parents, who are rather young-ish, and I still felt so weird watching it with them.
But you do need to see it!! LOL
