Katherine Heigl has signed on to star in a film about polygamy.
Smart? Not smart?
It'd definitely not a romantic comedy!
But, the Grey's Anatomy star isn't just acting in the film. She's also producing.
That's DEFINITELY smart!

first!!
12th!!!
COOL SMART!
i totally looooove her!
Well lets not jump the gun and pronounce someone "smart" simply because they produce. I've known of many dipsh*t producers in my time, as I'm sure you have as well. I'll tell ya this though — producing a film is one of the smartER moves she's made lately… unlike the chimney smoking she has decided to partake in *AHEM*. Now THAT, my friends, is an absolutely retarded thing to do.
first
i LOVE LOVE LOVE her dress here. she looks so classy.
snoozer…
She's a Mormon so why not do a story on polygamy.
go girl… just dont start trying to leave Grey's!!!
she is sooo smartie pants
why wouldnt it be smart? it's a movie. its not like she decided to be a polygamist herself.
Perez how the hell would you know smart from your asshole?
I LOVE KATHERINE!!!!! She's amazing in Grey's and every movie she is in! Beautiful too!
she looks like she could be one
i hate her, she thinks she is so cute and she's not at all, she thinks everyone cares about everything she does and no one really does at all, the more she's in the media the more people are starting to realize she's not like izzy on grey's at all, she straight up sucks
I think a polygamy movie woul be interesting..And she's a dreat actrees.
i would so watch that.
She is from Utah and she is a mormon, soooo she may be the one that can tell a good story……
Sorry I don't see a real career for her after Grey's Anatomy just my opinion!!!
I love her! Polygamy has become a hot topic lately … even though the concept has been around for ages.
I like Kathryn but don't like how she dissed Roswell. That was my favorite show growing up :/
What the heck ever happened to max!
No bad idea!!!
Smart! Katherine was raised in a Mormon household I think, so who better to do a movie about Polygamy? And it is so in the news right now……the whole Texas thing, and Elizabeth Smart on the cover of People Magazine this week…it is very current.
Katherine is one smart cookie. Her husband writes beautiful lyrics and seems to be a real smarty too……good for them.
It is nice to see a couple in Hollywood who act normally and behave themselves with dignity. I would love to have them over for dinner……they both seem so interesting and nice. I'll bet they would be great neighbors.
i must say that dress is spectacular!
The Mormon church has been trying to separate itself from polygamy since 1890, but many people still believe a strong association between the two. I can't imagine that they're going to be pleased that Katherine, who was raised Mormon, is going to star in a film on this topic unless the film makes it very clear that the Mormon Church no longer adheres to that doctrine.
Smart business woman!
I love her, but I'm wondering how her own religious community will respond considering she is a morman. I hope that she does the movie well to separate the idea that many mormans are polygamists. She is one sharp cookie, though. I also love her husband, he is such a cutie!
Damn, I htought her annoying ass had finally gone away.
I would definitely watch it
somebody who claims they "dont do politics" is just retarded…not smart at all
…Is a great show with great heart and shows that polygamists aren't just holdovers from the days of Little House on the Prarie. And it also has its funny moments. But since Big Love is on TV now, is a film about polygamy all that groundbreaking? Katherine Heigl should be careful not to overreach her limits. She should stick to romcom, chick-flick fare.
How fitting of her considering she is a MORMON. Just practicing her skills….
i actually really like her she was soo good in knocked up
God, I hate this loud-mouthed bitch.
God, I wish this bitch would shut up already!
I hope that she will show that polygamists are not Mormon. Maybe it will educate more people about that. I think that is probably a motivation of hers and she should know a lot about the history of her church. I think it's a good move.
she was raised mormon. i can see it being a topic of interest for her. i think it's a smart move.
So, what–polygomy's in, now? Ugh.
smart. I can't wait to see it.
Every time I see this vacant-eyed, moronic looking goofball of an actress I wanna punch her in the nose to see if her head bobbles.
I think she could act in anything, she's amazing. She'll do great! so this is a SMART idea!
Actually there is a television series called BIG LOVE that is about polygamy. It's actually pretty good, and I bet this will be too!
What a bunch of uneducated people on here. Mainstream Mormons are NOT polygamists. They do not follow that practice at all. In fact those who do are ex-communicated from the Mormon Church. Wake-up and educate yourselves.
I didn't recognize her without a FILTHY CIGARETTE hanging out of her mouth.
very smart
Cool dress. BAD hairdo.
Good idea? Bad idea? Let's see the movie first. No?
ummm….didn't she grow up morman? i'm sure mom and dad will be proud!
I think the 2nd girl is kristin cavalliri…
At this point, Katherine can do no wrong. I wish her luck!
Well, she is going to have to "poof" up that hair some more and grow an "uno-brow" to be believable!
Certainly not any dumber than whoever does your copy editing…. ("It'd definitely not a romantic comedy". Perez, I've written to you in the past about the lack of professionalism regarding the horrible web server transition, and you responded, "I've got a lot of details to oversee". I agree, but you are not going to get your big payday (and you definitely deserve it), without watching the details yourself - this is YOUR NAME!
Smart…if Charlize Theron did only romantic comedies she'd have no career. Katherine is making a good move by not type-casting herself for life like Maniston.
Re: TAB – No its not 'Mormonism' but it still is Fundamentalist Mormonism which is based off the teachings of Brigham Young & Joseph Smith! I hate how Mormans try to act all Holy bc they no longer 'condone Polygamy' when in reality that's one of the founding principals of their church that those people who practice it are following. Plus many Mormons are still sympathetic to those that follow the church's true teachings.
I love Christian's reactions to Mormonism's insanity, it's like an atheist's reaction to all religion.
Reminds me of the SouthPark Mormon episode, DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!
I read the book that the movie will be based upon. I'm just happy that the movie will be made! So hey hopefully the story will be good with her in it. Its a amazing memoir!
I know this is a little nitpicky….but its POLYGYNY not Polygamy. Polygamy is both polygyny and polyandry (one female and many males).
PROPAGANDA?!
She is a Mormon and I hope it doesn't push the whole religious thing…. About how great Mormonism is and 'educating' how they're no longer polygamists etc. Dang I hate 'Watchtower' and the ppl who come harassing me at my doorstep!
I really like Kath but I don't buy her as a serious actress… She is great in rom coms though!
Kath, become a Prodestant, so much more fun!
HAS NOBODY NOTICED HOW RIDICULOUSLY SKINNY SHE HAS GOTTEN?? SHE USED TO LOOK LIKE A VERY HEALTHY WOMAN, LOOK AT HER COLLAR BONE!
I think she's great! I love her movies!
