Heigelgate Won't Die Down
Filed under: Katherine Heigl
Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is speaking out about the famous Katherine Heigl snub for Emmy awards consideration.
Rhimes says, "When I was told about it, my reaction was surprised. I have a really wonderful working relationship with Katherine. Everybody knows Izzie is one of my favorite characters."
And when asked if she was insulted at Heigl's remarks, Rhimes added, “It’s not insulting the writers per se. The first half of the season she had a very strong storyline with George that played out a lot more comedic than a lot of her storylines … The back half of the season, Katherine asked me to write her light so that she could do her movie. I don’t feel insulted.”
How diva. If she asked you to write less for her, you should have written her out!
Silvio Horta from Ugly Betty jokes, “I would put her in a coma."
That wouldn't be a bad idea!
And to keep things juicy next season, Grey's Anatomy is expanding on the lesbian storyline.
Rhimes says, “We have a really interesting, funny way of laying out a story for Erica (Brooke Smith) and Callie (Sara Ramirez). It’s not your typical way of dealing with the storyline; we sat down with them and talked about women who figure out they’re lesbians later in life and we found out some interesting things to play out.”
Will U be watching next season?

Re: elise – Damn you elise!!!
hell yeah its my life
I thought that was Paris Hilton at first!
Hey Perez! You should do a poll to see how many Perez readers don't smoke, smoke, or smoke something other than cigarettes! I'm curious!
Re: me – No, you're not… FAIL
No I won't be watching. I let go of Grey's Anatomy after about the sixth episode when it was so obvious to me that the story line was very very stupid. I'm done with it. In fact they'd have to really do some spectacular writing to get me back on board.
Yes. duh
I will be watching, unfortunately. I've watched the show since the third episode aired. Seasons 1 and 2 was some of the best television I've seen. BUT….. Seasons 3 and 4 were complete bullshit, terrible. If Season 5 doesn't have a stong start, I'm done.
Re: Mona – Liar!
HELL YES!
I will most definitely be watching next season. It was dragging there for awhile last season, and then the strike happened, but the season finale pulled me in again. I'm so excited to see where they're going to be taking everything this season.
she was so good in greys anatomy and now shes got cancer, sheesh just shows to go anyone can get it.
I loved Grey's Anatomy but I gotta admit…the writers strike of '08 really killed my anticipation with the time it took to reinstall new episodes of the show. I have sadly fallen a little out of love with Grey's Anatomy. We had a good thing but I'm afraid we are growing apart…(tear drop).
i don't understand why it's such a big deal? if she feels she doesn't deserve an emmy, isn't it better to not go ahead like you do? that would take away the change from another person. i love her
Perez, please take down the porn user id pics on your site. You are losing LOTS of readers by allowing this trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will U be watching next season? Oh my god your a fucking dumb ass Mario. Best writing ever freak show. Lets see some more of your fucked up stomach on here ya ugly ass. Your a fool. Back to Cuba with you before someone drops some literacy on you too.
i like her and izzie. but the show.. it just became very boring season 4.. i was a big fan of the show in season 2 and early season 3, but then i just stopped watching all together half way through season 4..
this isn't even a story perez. you are just making it into one.
so stupid. even the people involved don't know what you are talking about.
I want this stuck up cunt dead! I hate this bitch! I can't wait till she gets cancer. Die you ungrateful bitch!
Next year, all shows will have hot and cold running lesbians !
never watched and never gunna watch.. katherine heigl sucks asss.. i hate her
i have had the displeasure of running into this hag more than once in hollyHood and her teeth are bright yellow! she is a tacky smoking hoe bag. frumpy body. not pretty in person AT ALL. i can not believe her attitude has no grattitude… she can barely act…she has zero reason to be a diva. she fell into a tub of butter and ate her way out..bitch should be sweet to EVERYONE before she is figured out to be the fraud she is!!!!!!!!
She'll look lovely when she has the tracheotomy and electric voicebox. Do you suppose she'll be one of those crusty old smokers who inhales through their trach-hole?
I still say Lassie is a better actress than Katherine Heigl. She reminds me a lot of Pia Zadora.
I will totally be watching!!!!
She really has a beautiful profile, very pretty face.
The ads for this show are totally boring. I never watch it.
.
TEAM HEIGL or however it is spelled
Fucking trash whore.
Thank god she is almost gone from public view.
As a movie actress she is mediocre and her high and mighty ass will be gone from TV soon.
Bye Bitch.
hiegel is vile. i watch grey's despite her, not because of her.
Get rid of the ungrateful bitch. She asked for a light storyline, got it and then complained it wasn't worth getting an award for it. And to top it off, the writers should give her really dumb storylines so then she'd really have something to complain and smoke about.
Still fucking love her. Everyone needs to get over it. It's really not that big of a deal!
Look at that nasty ass deflated chin elbow thing she has on her face! Looks like a little turkey gibbler to me!!
Would not miss it for the worl… favorite show ever
love it love it love it
Stop being such a bitch about her smoking. Who cares? Every person has a vice and hers is smoking. Let her be…she'll quit if SHE wants to!
They need to get rid of Katherine and her low life buddy she sided with when he lied on Isaiah, she isn't that great an attress anyway, she wouldn't be missed. They need to get Isaiah back on the show and pair him back up with the actress he was with, they were mostly why I watch to see what would happen with their relationship, I could care less about McDreamy, his character is a dime a dozen on these all white shows as it is.
Heigel is so full of herself it shows in everything she does!!! Her body language says it all!
DUDE YOU SUCK GUYS PEEN'S FER CHRIST SAKES
AND GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU PUT UP YOUR ASS?
GET OFF SMOKERS DICKS FATASS!!!!!!
OBECITY AND AIDS KILLS JUST AS MANY OF YOUR KIND!!!!!
SO FUCK OFF FATASS AND DIE ALREADY!
I want a smoke. i'm trying to quit nicorette gum now and I want to smoke or chew.
YES!!!! Can't wait!
I used to love Grey's Anatomy. Last season was just alright. I even fell asleep during a few episodes. Now I know why! If they write the whole thing to accomodate their stars instead of the storyline, no wonder why it's become - shall I say it - a little booooring…
I used to have such respect for her..but it has considerably dropped. She isn't respectful of the show THAT MADE HER A STAR!! Plus she smokes…she could at least do it in private..rather than a public place. Yah thanks for giving us second smoke Katherine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are You obsessed with This Woman Perez????
Hell no. I have divorced G.A. It's gotten so bad it's ridiculous.
Katherine isn't being a diva at all! She simply doesn't want to overwork herself
hey wonderful diva shot of the whore.
Re: smoki – hahahaha
I LOVE KATHERINE!!! i will definitely keep watching greys!
PEREZ WHY DO YOU HATE HEIGLE? I LOVE HER AND AS A SMOKER I FIND IT INSULTING THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE WHO SMOKES IN GOING TO GET CANCER… YOU CAN GET CANCER FROM ANYTHING NOWADAYS AND FURTHERMORE SHE IS A PHENOMENAL ACTRESS, SHE WANTS TO WIN AN EMMY THAT SHE FEELS SHE DESERVES
Beauty truly is only skin deep.
Ugliness springs eternal from a rotten soul and flows forever just under the surface.
Sometimes it gets to the brain and does the thinking, sometimes it gets to the vocal chords and tongue and does the talking.
4 sure I'll be watching, its like my fave show ever!! I
SHUT UP W/ THE SMOKING ALREADY! I don't smoke, but I don't preach either and you're the LAST one who should preach about anything.
Stick to what you know…..silly idle gossip. Thank you.
First off, I love Katherine Heigl's character Izzie. The show would suck without her. Second, I will watch this show because it is one of the most well written, funniest, most touching shows on television today. I can't wait for Grey's to come back!!
It's called FREEDOM dude. I cannot stand your uppidty rude ways tree hugger. Choice. Freedom. Get it butt jack? You are free to be an asshole, yet have the gaul to tell others how to live? So liberal//so mean, so evil. Truth shall set us free. Looser
Will NOT be watching. The fact that there was such a strong storyline for middleaged, smart women and the fact that she could have ended up with a husband and maybe get pregers in her 40's would be WAY MORE fun for us middle aged women. That is the reality of the bulk. You are panning to the few. So, grey has jumped the shark.
"Advocate For Eradication Of Ignorance's" Wow- You just described Yourself! You fucking racist!!
Hell's yeah!
Yes I will watch. Sure the show has gotten less and less interesting as the seasons pass, but it's what us med students do. Actually, it's all we do besides study!
Yes, I'll be watching! Why do you have to hate on her cuz she smokes? tons of other people smoke too, she's not the only one
I will most definitely be watching Grey's this upcoming season. MerDer are back together! The show is gonna rock now!
what an overrated piece ofworthlessself-absorbed shit
definitly!
HEY BOWLINGBALL - BET YOUR MAMA IS SOOOO PROUD OF YOU & YOUR AVATAR! YOU SUCK!
Heigel will be killed off before midseason of year 5 - you read it here first!
