She's Getting Off Easy

Grey's Anatomy producer/creator Shonda Rhimes is stepping in again to stop rumors that they are getting rid of Katherine Heigl's character, Izzie Stevens.

Recent chatter was that Heigl's character would have a brain tumor, but that's not so says Shonda.

Rhimes say that all medical crisis rumors about Izzie are untrue but to expect some “interesting sparks” between Alex and Izzie in the next season.

As for the other character hookups on the show, Rhimes adds, “It’s really exciting to see what’s going to come next and how [Meredith's] going to deal with living with a boy, and all the things a man like Derek, who has been married and is a grown-up, might expect.”

Oh, and what's gonna happen with the lesbians, Eric and Callie? Rhimes says, “They are definitely on a journey, and it’s going to be a really interesting one…also both actresses are so game; they’re so willing to do something."

Looks like Heigl is staying on the show. And she probably hates that!

LOVE it!

      God she is so nothing. And so into herself. Has anyone out there seen the photos of her without make-up???????? Atrocious! Hideous! More so than with most celebrities. She's washed up. Moving on. Next, please…

      perez i must say you always do bring a chuckle to my face when you feature stars lighting up to a nasty ass cancer stick.

      1200 people die everyday in the US due to tobacco related illnesses. maybe we should send her some anti-smoking gear, courtesy of some anti-tobacco campaigns! haha. good times.

      ignoring all the drama around heigl's comments, i have always wanted izzie and alex to get back together.



    14. 14

      Everytime i hear about this girl it's always a nasty comment she makes and i don't mean to be judgmental but she comes across a bitch. Is she really rude cause i don't want to not like her for no reason!

      Lung cancer would be more believable. Better yet, give her throat cancer and have her character's larynx removed and make her talk with a cancer kazoo.

      I can't wait for season 5 of Grey's, but I'm just hoping she doesn't get off the show. Season 5 looks really interesting. I hope Katherine doesn't encounter any issues because of smoking.

      yes , know her, worked w/ her- she is a passive aggressive c–t who feels she is entitled: has unresolved co-dependant relationship issues w/ her pitbull mother/manager; feels 'movie stardom' is her destiny and has expresssed that Shondra is jealous/ threatened by her - what? Her outstanding class, talent beauty?

      regardless of her smoking habits, or her insane mother, you can't deny that she is a friend to the gay community, perez, and for that i give her tons of props.



    26. 26

      They should get rid of her… she does more damage to the show than helping it! Anyways i just won't watch it i hate HEigl…

    27. becky says – reply to this


      27

      Gee, Perez! Why don't you warn and counsel gay men in your site and the horrors of AIDS or HIV? My word! Leave people alone or be fair! She wants to smoke, I suppose she will!

      i never really cared about katherine heigl before and i still don't, but i think it's pretty cool that she's given a giant middle finger to everyone. i mean come on, greys anatomy is the WORST most horribly written show on tv, i dont blame her for wanting to get off! and i like that she smokes, she just doesn't give a fuck!

      How chic she is smoking her cancer stick. Wonder if she will wear those glasses when she is hooked up to an oxygen tank after getting her emphysema and or lung cancer diagnosis.

      ughh

      i dont want her off the shwo or anything, that would be heart breaking lol, but she needs to be put in her place

      Dumb shit. See above how Bernie Mac was suffering from pneumonia and sarcoidosis? Well my mom had the latter. Non-smokers are susceptible to it per smokers blowing their shit in non-smokers faces….. its one of the suspectsed causes anyway. FUCK KATHERINE HEIGL or however you spell it. She has it so good right now with her sturdy as iron lungs and she continues to voluntarily fuck them up. GREAT! YOU GO OLD BAG!

      Maybe they could have a storyline in which she dies of lung cancer. It looks like that's the way she's headed in real life anyway. Stupid is forever.
