Katherine Heigl Crisis Continues at ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
And, yes — the title is meant to be taken with a huge helping of sarcasm.
According to E! Online, which has it according to those ever-elusive sources “from the set of the ABC hit,” Emmy-winning actress Katherine Heigl remains in deep doo-doo with Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes. Apparently, Rhimes still hasn’t gotten over Heigl’s perhaps too honest, at least for Hollywood types, remarks last month explaining why she was withdrawing herself from Emmy consideration this year.
The 29-year-old reportedly said: “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.”
Well, she’s nothing if not direct, right? How can I complain about a woman like that?
Rhimes isn’t complaining — publicly — either, but gossip has it that she’s “pissed” enough to consider actually killing Izzie off the show, or, as a source says with much more dramatic flair, “They [Rhimes and her Grey's writers, I suppose] want Izzie dead.”
Is Heigl a marked woman now? Are her Grey’s days truly numbered? Or is all of this incessant speculation about the supposed fallout from her comments just grist for the rumor mill?
Better yet, does/should Heigl even care, considering her recent feature film successes with 27 Dresses and Knocked Up? I know if I were her, I probably wouldn’t (which is why she probably said what she said in the first place).
As far as I’m concerned, what’s done is done, and you can’t take it back. Maybe people should try just moving on, already. I don’t know — go count the zeros at the end of your bank account balance or something…
