Katherine Heigl Visits The Late Show
Katherine Heigl made a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman Monday, and complained (semi-jokingly) about returning to the set of Grey's Anatomy last week.
“Our first day back Wednesday was - I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them - a 17-hour day,” she said, “which I think is cruel and mean.”
“It was actually kind of really great to be back,” she added after.
“All my friends are there and at this point, they’re sort of like family, although it was a little weird because [T.R. Knight]’s not there anymore.”
Katherine Heigl remained tight-lipped about the fate of Izzie.
“You last saw Izzie, you know, flatlining,” she said.
“So, I won’t give it away but, you know, I’m there so I’m either there as a ghost, on the other side or I survived a disease no one survives.”
“I’m guessing that if you’re working 17 hours, that means you’re not dead,” Letterman said. Heigl’s reply: “What if, however, Dave, I was in a bed in a coma for 17 hours, they could do that ...” Dave responded if they did that to him, no one would know the difference.
Ba-dum-ching.
Heigl said she hopes Grey’s Anatomy, which returns to ABC on September 24, will stick around for a while - with her on it: “We have another two years, I think, at least in the contract ... Hopefully the show goes, you know, ER time, which would be cool.”
Indeed. Here's Katherine's interview on The Late Show ...

I know pretty much everything has been said about KH here, I just want to say that I don't have anything against people who speak up and say what's on their minds and are honest - noble thing I'd say. But what Katie does is nothing like that.
It's PART OF HER JOB to be more PC, not badmouth the show that has given her a name (to say at least).
The complaint about the 17 hour workday? Sure it's hard. BUT JESUS, if I would earn that much money, I'd just KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT FOR GOOD.
Funny, how nobody actually mentions her other critical opinion about the storylines (I'm either a ghost or in coma). As much as it was arrogant, I have to say - spot on. The Denny-ghost storyline was such a cr@p, I totally have to agree with Katie here...but again, it's NOT HER JOB to criticize a show that made her insanely rich and famous. Let the critics do their job.
I don't have anything against Izzie, maybe she's too whiny sometimes but okay, and I don't have anything against Katie besides her

I love greys anatomy i started watching it 3 months ago and i just finsihed the last episode of season 5 today and i got to say again how I LOVE GREYS ANATOMY!

I've seen some very interesting photos of KH plugging her latest movie release with Gerard Butler. KH is beaming, GB looks unhappy?
KH seems very career savy, hence all the films and TV.
But it would be nice to see a more balanced story line for all the characters, not Izziecentric.

I think KH is very funny and she was just joking.
I mean 17 hours of working! That's a lot.

bahaha "she's an awesome actress" was supposed to be with the part about The Ugly Truth... sorry guys.

I think KH is pretty great. Yeah she may be bitchy at times but so what? Everyone can be bitchy... some just don't show it.
She was only joking, granted the jokes were a little old and annoying but I still found them semi-humorous... and she didn't say anything bad about T.R.
She's an amazing actress! I can't wait to see The Ugly Truth! It looks like a great movie!
I want more cute Mer/Der scenes also! Hopefully we can get more of that in Season 6... :D
She's an awesome actress.

Izzie didn't once again get hitched. That is the first time she got married.....she was only engaged to Denny...

I loved s5 until the end....why didn't mer/der get married? I was so disappointed. That is all we heard about for months and they ended up doing it in the locker room on post it notes. I know a huge lavish wedding is not merideth...they could have kept it small, but to have nothing at all was dumb and disappointing and the fact that, once again..izzie...got hitched was really stupid..

I think the real question is don't people have anything better to do with their lives then to hate people whom they don't even know personally? hmm....

Why Is Katherine Heigl So Annoying?
The Grey's Anatomy star was supposed to be America's new sweetheart. Now we've all turned on her. Is it her fault, or ours?
By Sarah Ball | Newsweek
In January 2008, Vanity Fair's cover girl was Katherine Heigl. "Hollywood's hottest blonde," as they called her, was stunning—a soothing dollop of peach gelato poured into a column gown, brows intelligently arched, lipstick perfectly applied. Inside the magazine, she smiled regally behind the wheel of a Rolls, stretching her arms in silk opera gloves. The accompanying text told a different, less rosy story: the Grey's Anatomy star detailed the shocking death of her older brother Jason, chatted about her Mormon childhood, and discussed her struggle to break out as an actress. She projected a kind of loose-cannon candor, blasting the film that launched her stardom, Knocked Up, as "a little bit sexist" and her character, repor
