You all are idiots. Especially making up these ignorant moniker emulating the "Bennifer" days. When does it end? Gizzie? PUH-lease get a life.

NYJOEY Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 11:19 AM EST

Kati should learn to pick her spots to complain better. I also remember that she was known for this sort of behavior on the set of Roswell. After her breakup with the lead of that show, Jason Behr, she complained that the sex they had was "too vanilla"!!
Someone should help her understand the difference between being assertive vs. abrasive.
She should follow her own advice and not speak in public.

anbi Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 05:09 PM EST

I completely agree with Lauren. Why dont you ask Katherine what she meant instead of speculating. I find it admirable that she would decline the nomination to give the chance someone else who worked harder. I dont think her comments were meant to offend anyone. I believe she was honest.

Lauren Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 11:48 AM EST

Considering Katherine asked to be "written in lightly" so she could go do her movie, I find her response humble. Perhaps she may have elaborated, but she knew that there were more deserving roles out there and chose to drop out. It's not the writers' fault, she knew her attention was focused else where. Don't be so quick to judge, plus she has a voice too, why not ask her instead of insinuating she was dissatisfied with the script.

Trace Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 04:23 AM EST

I've only started watching Grey's in Jan.2008 I've now seen all seasons in a span of 7 months and I do agree with K. Heigls choice to withdraw! I think her character started out strong and then just became pathetic to fall in love with George and then become hopeless..She deserved better than that on the show..she knew the script was going to the garbage..Who hasn't slept with who on the show now? It's kind of turning to trash now...how do they want us to picture health care people now?

Chris Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 08:44 AM EST

It is an undeniably biased thing to do, to defend the comments of Katherine Heigl in this instance. Understand that she was not critiquing her own work, but that of her writers on this show that have helped tremendously in her slingshot to stardom. When she said that she was not "given" Emmy-worthy material, she is implying that the writer's failed to deliver on her character this season. While that may be true, Katherine Heigl needs to learn a valuable lesson that will take her a long way: know when to keep your mouth shut! Who did it help for her to explain WHY she was not submitting herself for an Emmy. If it is such a common occurance to refuse consideration for the award, as she explained, then why do her actions warrant a very public ostracizing of her writers as her motive for doing so? All too often, Heigl has made unnecessary and destructive comments like these, and she needs to realize that fame is fickle. Not everything you think needs to be said!

Karla Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 10:51 PM EST

Honestly, I started watching Grey's bc of Katherine. I loved her on Roswell as Isabel Evans&then on Grey's as Isobel Stevens,but I didn't like Izzy's character @all this season;especially,when it came2all the stuff w/her&George.It was so out of character.I don't really blame her bc I know a lot of Grey's fans&Izzy fans felt the same.The change in Izzy's character was very drastic from the last seasons2this1.I hope she stays,but I'd love4the writers2fix the mess they made with her&the other characters,while still developing their stories.I didn't really care much4Grey's this season,but I kept watching because I've been so invested in all the other seasons.The only things I really liked were how they told us more about Alex's past&Lexi's growth,she was more Izzy than Izzy this season.I'm still going2watch next season though in hopes that the writers will bring back the Grey's Anatomy the fans have grown to love.Though,I'm still hoping4a Roswell movie,so just call me the eternal optimist.

nyleve Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 11:10 AM EST

She is the NEW David Caruso

Sun, Jul 13, 2008 at 09:07 PM EST

Okay, if you actually read it, she only said she didn't feel the material HER character was given was enough to warrant an emmy. She wasn't necessarily knocking the Grey's Anatomy writers. She didn't say, Grey's Anatomy doesn't deserve an Emmy or anyone else on the show. She only said that truth, other characters on the show were given more important screen time this season, Izzie doesn't have to be the main character of the show every season, and I think she knows that, and was just acknowledging it.

Potpie Sun, Jul 13, 2008 at 08:31 PM EST

I think Kathrn is one of the most arrogant people in Hollywood - what a great job she has/had and she says to the producers - you should have given me more - when they were trying to accomadate her when she got married - I have NO sympathy for arrogant actors and she should be killed off - we'll get someone else on Grey's that we will like - - No time for the arrogant actors....

Tony Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 07:01 AM EST

I think she's a brave actress who has integrity enough to stand up and say "I don't believe my work was worthy enough because of the writing being so mediocre and because I didn't do enough to merit consideration." In the world of business she might never get ahead with that view. But in a creative art, it's a refreshing admission of honesty. Her career is not in jeopardy, just her career on Greys. And given the petty way the production team is treating her publicly and privately, given the way Shondra Rhimes treats any actor not named Isaiah Washington like dirt, it's a wonder there hasn't been a flat-out revolt on the set. Heigl is a refreshing face, and the only one of those actors (maybe Sandra Oh, maybe even Dempsey once in a blue moon) who is memorable enough to move to films. She deserves better...and I bet she gets it, too, since she stands up for herself.

Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 07:37 PM EST

From what's in the article it appears she quietly withdrew her name. After it was discovered she wasn't on the list, she was questioned and she answered.

Let's reiterate this - she withdrew herself from the opportunity to win an award that helps any actor's career. She had a very good chance to repeat since the Emmy's are historically very stuck on certain actors once they win, and tend to completely ignore others. I don't see the problem.

smurfette Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 01:11 PM EST

AMEN to an actor/actress being honest about the writing on the shows nowadays. it's extremely obvious that the writing has gone downhill on GA and the show survives based on its star power vs actual content. (hello desperate housewives...) i'm sure she realizes that if she were to get nominated, it would NOT be for her GA performance, but for her big screen parts...she's the fave right now. that's how hollywood works..they base their voting on who the 'hot' folk are vs their actual individual performances. i think she's a wonderful actress with a great head on her shoulders. congrats to you katherine for being the person you are and standing up for what you believe in. looking forward to seeing you in future films/shows...GA or not.

What a hag. Just wait. In a few years she'll be performing on Dancing With the Has-Beens.

David Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 04:09 AM EST

Izzie is not my favorite. I have only liked her when with Denny and LOVED her with George. I mostly love her with George, both as friends and as lovers, TR brings out the best in Katie and George the best in Izzie. It makes me angry Shonda dropped them because a few people yelled too loud. There were as many of us who love this couple and will till the very last day.

I have not watched since Gizzie ended, and I know many people who have said the same, and a part of me would rather Katie leave then have her paired with the atrocious Alex again.

I surely will not resume watching until the disgusting A and I joke i killed for good and Gizzie is reunited. If that never happens, I am not missing the show.

JM Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 07:11 PM EST

I think KH is amazing!! I've read some of these comments and i agree with one posted below in particular. Please do not comment and post negative remarks if you are completely unaware of what is even being discussed as most of you haters appear to be doing. The actor/actress has to submit themselves for consideration for an emmy, she was being honest about the material she worked with(and frankly i think most people agree)and i think it's refreshing for someone in her position to come right out and say that there were performances from other incredibly skilled actresses that deserve more recognition this year. What about that is egotistical? the fact that she assumed she'd be nominated...well she won last year and was gaining buzz this year anyway, so deal with it. Also, for everyone saying that she's burning her bridges because of past comments about (knocked up/GA)again i would reiterate that you should really understand what was actually said instead of buying into media soundbytes

PH Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 12:22 PM EST

I cannot believe how low her star has fallen...after the negative about "Knocked Up" producers, the attitude at award shows and now this. I hope she realizes soon fame is SO fleeting and fickle. See Tom Cruise about how your attitude can effect your career.

Di Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 10:51 PM EST

Has anyone seen 27 dresses. The writing was HORRID, but Katherine didn't complain because she was the star. She complains about GA and Knocked Up because she didn't think her part was big enough and it didn't gratify her ego. This is not about honesty and integrity. This is about an egocentric, mediocre actress complaining in public when she doesn't get her way. She's just not talented enough for these kinds of complaints.

To Bostonian Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 10:35 PM EST

Bostonian, it's called being passive-aggressive. It has nothing to do with the Emmy selection process and everything to do with her taking a jab at the writers/producers regarding the material.

vader1013 Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 10:03 PM EST

i stopped watching GA a few weeks before the writer's strike b/c the story lines were becoming so obtuse and out there that it was clear the writers were trying to recapture the magic of previous seasons, but what the viewers wound up with was a syrupy concoction of emotionally manipulative crap. the holidays came and went the writers' strike ended, and when GA returned to the air, i realized that not only did i not care any more now, but that i really hadn't cared the whole season.
and then there was the catastrophe that was named "private practice". sweet lord what a disaster full of beautiful people standing around with nothing to do. i dumped both shows, and i like millions of others won't be back.

Michael Heigl Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 09:00 PM EST

Caroline Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 03:33 PM EST

Izzy is personally my favorite character on the show, but I admit that this hasn't been her best season...however, I think a lot of fan's of Grey's will admit that this season in general hasn't been the best one. Heigl is merely pointing out what fans and critics have been saying about this season and how it applies to her personally.

J. Jones Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 12:26 AM EST

To all of her defenders out there... Lets say you did a crappy job on a project at work. Normally your work is okay, but this time it sucked. Then the next thing you know the members of your team have posted an article in the company newsletter bashing your work, insulting your contribution. They didn't tell you to your face, they posted it in public for all to see…and this is the first you’re hearing about it.

Now, ever if everyone else at the company agreed and thought that this time your work really was crap, would you tell me that’d find it all okay, even refreshing, that your team should thoroughly embarrass you in such a way??? If it were you, would you still think that such a display was a show of integrity, of honesty, and should be praised.

Yeah, I doubt it.

jonesy Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 12:02 AM EST

Artistic integrity my azz! Refreshingly up front and honest about what she's thinking? lol... Are you kidding??? It’s called being ungrateful and self absorbed.... on purpose – she wants out of her contract, without penalty.

Well don't fire the ungrateful bytch, that would be playing right into her hands. Instead make her a glorified extra for a couple of years, maybe she'll appreciate THAT storyline. I sure would.

Sharlin Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 10:57 PM EST

Yeah it might have been mean, but lets face it... she was absolutely right in her assessment of her character. They pretty much ignored her this season and had no real Emmy moments. Grey's has been suffering a lot in terms of story line and Katherine is apparently the only one who notices... besides the rest of the world.

Marina Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 09:24 PM EST

You hope the Gizzie fans quit the show, LOL, well many of us have, did you not notice the ratings falling right after they broke up BEFORE the strike and after?

Poor Katie, she had this great stiory with George that had everyone talking, loving it more than anything or hating it, but everyone was talking about it, and now she gets stuck in this bad Alex story that is a rehash, a bad one, of Denny and Izzie, gets called a stupid *itch then kisses the loser who is snotting all over her and begging her to heal her with sex. Ouch! katie said in England she was disappointed Gizzie was not even given a chance, so were millions of us honey.

Shonda listened to the braindead Gizzie haters and A and I fans and now nobody is talking about A and I, the journalists could not care less and the ratings are lower than ever.

She had nothing after the Gizzie breakup.

Shonda is an idiot.

Carol Miller Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 06:25 PM EST

Garbage.....that's what the writing has come to on "Grey's Anatomy"......they have lost me as a viewer.....Katherine Heigl is a great actress and deserves MUCH better!!!!......I admire her for saying what is true........the writing stinks.......maybe because she was so vocal about Isaiah Washington (who was a complete jerk)?.......I think she is being punished......I really was into watching Grey last year......but will NEVER watch again......what a shame.......I've heard other people say the same thing.......

Portia Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 05:04 PM EST

Tough crowd! Poor girl can't win! Most of the comments against her are in direct opposition to what KH actually said in her response to the questions asked of her. I can only imagine what your comments would have been had she submitted her name for nomination..."she's so conceited, I can't believe she's so full of herself, her scenes were crap this season, who does she think she is?, does she think she should win just because she won last year?" Pretty much the same comments you're making about her now. She wasn't complaining or putting on airs or asking for anything. And she wasn't bashing the writers either. She didn't feel that she had any suitable material to submit and therefore didn't deserve the award she would have to ask to be considered for. I don't get the way a lot of you think. You DO understand that she has to ASK to be nominated right? Would you put yourself up for an award you didn't feel you deserved?

Monica Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 02:49 PM EST

Sabrina - I hope you quit the show. I love Alex and Izzie ;>

Lucey Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM EST

So...Katie "graciously supports" the show. Hmm. She certainly has an interesting way of showing it.

Bostonian Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 07:38 AM EST

To half of the people writing comments, please know how the process works before you comment. As far as emmy nominations go, each show, actor etc. send in a segment of their said show for consideration of an emmy, and from the hundreds to thousands of submissions, the nominees are chosen. Miss Heigl has NEVER criticized the show, and has always supported the writers. (She was the 1st to stand with them on the picket lines. She just felt that there were other actors who felt were more worthy of consideration, in part because of storyline. BIG DEAL. I would never put her in the same category as David Carusso. She didn't walk off the show after the first season because the critics fawned all over her, and she believed their hype. She has always been gracious in her support of the show, and only asked for a salary in the same ballpark as her co-workers. Who of us in day to day life don't expect to be paid the same as our co-workers when we're doing the same work. Stop the hatred!

Sabrina Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 10:37 PM EST

I find it funny that the Gizzie haters see this as a dig at Gizzie when the main spotlight on Gizzie was in season 3 and that is the year she not only submitted her name, she won tons of awards for. Season 3, she had the huge GI story, that for the record half the people adored (the fact the other half hated it does not negate that many people did watch the show for GI and loved them)and she won. Season 4, she had nothing. Shonda destroyed GI so she had them on the backburner and after their breakup, she had nothing to do except for the stupid Dizzie 2.0, Alex and Ava thing. Alex and Izzie are pathetic. I almost quit the show when Shonda killed my beloved Gizzie, I will quit if if she forced the disgusting Alex and Izzie on me again

Raymond Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 10:19 AM EST

It's kind of funny that plenty of critics and viewers have criticized Grey's Anatomy this season, then turn around and balk when someone who works on the show does so. Yeah, she's being a brat, but it's also kind of cool that she's not hung up on awards.

Oh, and the David Caruso comparisons are disingenuous, because she'll already have had some movie success if she decides to bounce her steady gig. And things didn't turn out to bad for him. I'm still waiting for the Shelley Long comeback vehicle.

bRad Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 02:15 AM EST

This is Brute Honesty. That's all and if I can be frank, it's greatly needed on the show. Especially the horrible direction that the show has been going recently, I'd say more people need to be as honest as she is about the show. Because the plot lines I've been reading are down right horrible and just plain bad.

Caitlin Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 01:27 AM EST

I am all for Katie being fired if it spares me from being tortured with the Alex and Izzie disgusting toxic duo again, they already ruined season 2 for me and after seeing how amazing a couple Gizzie was, it will be even worse to compae what we lost because a few shallow immature idiots didn't like Gizzie and whined evry loud about it. The sad thing is they are the minority but the critics fell straight into their trao and believed the people yelling the loudest were the majority. Then critics are idiots. Katie is right, season 4 sucked except for Gizzie and Shonda ruined that very early on in the season.

Alexa Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 01:21 AM EST

For the record, season 3 was all about Gizzie and Katie presented her name for consideration, and won, so she must not be thinking her Gizzie work was that bad. In fact for me and millions out there, the Gizzie story was the only good thing about season 3.

In season 4, Gizzie was backburnered and ended months ago and she has not had any story since, except following abuser jerk Alex around. That was the whole second half after the strike and this seemed to be what she was complaining about.

She does not seem to be too thrilled to be back with jerk Alex with which she has no chemistry with. In a british interview, she said she was disappointed they had not let Gizzie have a real chance at happines

We are too, and many of my friends who are Gizzie fans quit the show over this.

We hate Alex and Izzie, they are disgusting.

Go for KH for bashing the show for ending Gizzie so soon just because they were scared of a few maniac haters.

There is as many GI fans as haters out there.

Frankie Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 01:15 AM EST

I quit the show when they ended Gizzie, it was the only good thing on it. For the record, Katie hated the affair but loved Gizzie, she even says so in the latest Grey mag. How george brings Izzie pure joy, and that is why she wants them together, how she wants to convince the HALF of the fan who don't like them to like them, so she knows Gizzie has a ton load of fans.

She thought the affair was out of line but thinks Gizzie make a great couple and says she has been rooting them,from the start.

I find it funny she did one interview bashing the affair, not the couple, and tons of interviews saying she loves GI and the haters only pick the one bad thing. So transparent.

Gizzie was the one good thing in this crappy show

Joe Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 11:34 PM EST

Two words for Ms. Heigl... David Caruso. Thinks about it.

Jmanstation Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 10:39 PM EST

I really do despise her. She is the most ungrateful person on this planet. Read her past statements and you will see that she believes she is the most important person in Hollywood. She constantly criticizes those that made her a star (Greys, Knocked Up) as she is delusional in thinking that she is the greatest actress alive. The only ones who are stupid enough to accept her acting "skills" are last year's Emmy voters. Read her latest statement - that she doesn't want to win for having weak material. She actually thinks she could win this award again this year. Her nicotine habit is affecting her brain.

YeyoOnTheBrink Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 01:43 PM EST

If any of the actors or actress these day had enough guts to say they were not good enough with the crappy writing they recieved, then our television shows would improve for the better. I thought it was justified for her saying “The material was not good enough for me to give my best performances” which is fine. Regardless of what news source it goes to, everyone is going to say it. I see no inappropriate actions in what she did. She basically said out the writers have gotten incredibly lazy and the show’s decline is obvious. In fact a Lot of people are saying that. I would think it’s more of an impact if one of the STARS is going to “your story sucks.” it’s refreshing to see that honesty is still within our actors these days. Frankly put the writers where the one who decided to get lazy and pummel out some drab story line with cliché plots. She’s just stating the obvious. I’m just saddened it took one of it’s cast members this long to do it.

Edie Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 01:12 PM EST

It's not about whether or not Heigl's comments were truthful. It's about whether or not it was appropriate to make them publicly, through her publicist, not only to the LA Times but to the Associated Press. Just like it would be inappropriate for the producers/writers to criticize an actor's on-set behavior or acting publicly, it's inappropriate for Heigl to criticize the writers publicly. She can say what she wants privately or to them. And she needs to remember that if she keeps this up, no one is going to write for her, which means "bye bye" acting career.

DocFunky Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 11:33 AM EST

I’m surprised that she’s the only one who did this. I don’t think she’s the only cast member who is upset with the material that they’ve been handed. This show took a huge hit in terms of material and story development with ALL the characters. She’s not the only one. This show really did go south this season and someone on the show needed to say it. I’m surprised she’s the only one with enough guts to come out and state the obvious downfall in quality of this show.

kellybelly Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 11:14 AM EST

I really don't think she put as much thought into her comment as everyone else is doing now. I think she just speaks her mind, and I really don't think she meant to hurt anyone's feelings. And she has right to her own opinion about her work. But she probably should think about things before she says them to reporters.
AND Izzy is my favorite character on Grey's. (And this season did suck, till around the end, Grizzie was just plan wrong!)

angelo Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 11:05 AM EST

What a whiner. If they want to nominate you, let them. She sounds like the awards are beneath her, like she is making room for some poor unfortunate actress. Another point, way over rated as a TV actress and movie actress, so come down a notch on your ego trip.

Jaye Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 10:10 AM EST

on the surface, her comment isn't as slapping as some might read it. she could be taken as saying that her character wasn't the dramatic focus and so giving her the nom (over other actors who were focused on) isn't right. it is the writers reaction that gives it the air of witchiness. and to that I simply remind the writers that they have the power. if they feel that way about Katherine they have the contractual allowance to remove her with no issues. they simply make Izzy unnessary to the story and then drop a frigging helicopter on her, blow her off a building, whatever.

"I do not feel I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination." So, as Cristina might say 'put on your big girl pants and deal with it.' It sounds like something that Izzy would whine about...thats what her character does.

I mean we all do know we're talking about television, right? Maybe this effort spent ranting and raving here should go into real pursuits in all of our respective lives be it family/career/friends/hobbies whatever. Remove your support for the entertainment industry and it's puffed-up egos and paychecks at large and she and all of them will go away anyway. Just my thoughts.

i like her moxie, the girl speaks her mind, we should all be so truthful.

Bellegosifan Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 08:33 PM EST

Actually the show will continue to be garbage if the writers don't get off their cans and start focusing on character and plot development rather than throwing in random new bland characters in an attempt to boost low ratings.

Butter Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 08:29 PM EST

Now that Lexie's character is becoming more and more important, Izzie can just disappear and the show will continue to be great.

TheSkyver Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 07:32 PM EST

I don’t think Paige or anyone here understands the concept of writing story or proper character development or criticism for that matter. I think BeezKneez has the right idea and makes a good point. What’s so different from some one on the show saying the story sucked rather than a large portion of your audience telling you that your writing sucks? Is It not the same criticism that should be taken into account? You people call it rude when some one on the show does it yet when an audience does it, it’s ok? That’s just a sad case of dualism right there if you ask me. This is no different when a actor is question the script because the script makes no sense or a director arguing with the writer because of the horrible directions it’s going. How is what she did unprofessional? Because she doesn’t like where her character is head? She should have a say in what is happening to her character and If I were her, I’d say the same thing as well. Izzie Stevens this year had a horrible plot line.

CMU Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 07:01 PM EST

It is so incredibly unprofessional to put down your colleagues. Even if the writing has suffered this year, it is so unspeakably rude to slam the people you work with like that. She's covering her own butt, putting the blame on someone else, and looking like a complete wench all at the same time. That takes some skill. She's a talented actress, but a serious b*cth. Pretty soon no one will want to work with her for fear that she'll put them down and throw them under a bus later on. She's not THAT great. I used to like her, but all of this diva-esque behavior has made me dislike her very much. Just be humble, for crying out loud. The most talented people are the most humble, because they don't have to make themselves look good--their performances take care of that.

Ally Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 06:32 PM EST

Here, here, Paige! I think you summed up the situation (and this diva) perfectly. Heigl is completely out of line to make this type of statement publicly. The only thing I want to add: I hope this ploy to get out of her contract doesn't work. I hope she spends the remainder of her contract resuscitating deer. I also hope they stop accommodating her film schedule and make her work for the duration of the season at *their* convenience.

Kaela Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 06:14 PM EST

I think Heigel is a great actress however, she's cutting her nose off to spite her face with this whole Emmy thing. Just take the nomination, thank the people who need thanking, and get on with it! Lord have mercy!

BlackPedro Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST

So It’s her job to make sure the writers of the show make a good story and a compelling character development plot right? It’s her job to make sure that the plot goes smoothly and that her character changes at the end wrote? She’s snobby because she wants to get out what she puts into the show in terms of her character? Her performance this season didn’t warrant a nomination not because she up and decided to suck all of a sudden but because the writers have decided to let them selves go. Half of the Grey’s anatomy fan will tell you that her story line was absolutely cheesy and that the writing of the show has gone horrible sour this season. This is a wake up call to the writers to get their butts in shape.

Terra Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:38 PM EST

Heigl comes off as a complete Snot. After watching last years emmy's and seeing her win then promptly correct the pronunciation of her name and has came off as an egotistical jerk since. Her performance this season of Grey's didn't warrant a nomination and it was no fault of the writing. If she isn't careful she will follow Isaiah Washington to the curb for different reasons.

kate Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:33 PM EST

I love Katherine Heigl and her portrayal of Izzie. She is allowed to do what she wants regarding the Emmy's. It's not like she tried to make a big deal about it. She was just being honest when asked.

BeezKneez Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:14 PM EST

The only people who are insulted by this are the fans of the show who have been slapped to the face by egotistical writers who think that the fans will stick by them regardless of how lazy their writing has gotten.

BeezKneez Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:13 PM EST

You say she’s an ego-maniac for wanting more out of the show that she has put so much faith and time in? You say she is rude for stating a fact that the fans of the show have concluded since the beginning of the third season? You call her self centered for taking herself out of the Emmy’s because she feels that the material and her performance this year wasn’t up to par? That’s just hater persona written all over.

She by no way insulted anyone. She gave an opinionate statement to a bunch of writers who has let the show drop in quality over the years. Her statement was towards the writers. No one else. The person who is classless is this Paige person for writing this faux pas of an idiotic message. She’s done nothing wrong in terms of what she had to say. It’s about time that some one ON the show decided to speak out about the mediocre material that they have given to the fans.

BeezKneez Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:12 PM EST

There is also a huge difference between decency and stating a fact. Badmouthing or not. It’s high time that the writers of Grey’s Anatomy got a dose of reality in reference to their lop sided story and ho hum writing that they allowed themselves to slip. I do agree she is many things. Talented is one of them. She wouldn’t have gotten this far if she wasn’t talented or professional in her behavior and certainly decent. I think the NOT so decent thing would be to say the opposite of what she said now like “I deserve an Emmy cause It’s not my fault the writing has sucked”

She has stated many times that she has no intention of getting out of her contract. That’s all heresay and theories made up by stupid gossip queens and unreliable tabloid sources. Honesty is what this is. She just stated it in a nicer fashion. The show has sucked for the past season. That’s a fact. Take a look at what other people have been saying.

BeezKneez Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:12 PM EST

Actors who are talented WORK with the material they are given. Yes I agree, however it’s the writers JOB to make the material good. It’s the writers JOB to make sure the material get’s the message across and it’s the writer’s job to make the material stand out. If the writer does a bad job on movie script or a TV show, then they should be let known by whatever source telling them that they did a bad job.

Like I said, An actor or actress is suppose to work with the material they are given with. But if the material is garbage and it’s crap, then in the end there is only so much they can do with the material. Case in point Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in The Bucket List. Two of my favorite actors, legendary in their own rights working together in the most ho hum horrible written and obtuse script and dialogue I have seen since Met The Spartans. There is only so much one can do no matter how charismatic or good they are with a mediocre script.

tnygrl Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 05:08 PM EST

"I do not feel I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination." Um...whatever happened to working FOR something? So the material they GAVE her wasn't to her liking. A good actor is a good actor even when reciting the phone book. I don't mind her "honesty." What I do mind is the arrogant, underlying assumption that she'd automatically get a nomination if her name was in the pool.

TheRantMan Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 04:54 PM EST

So she’s not allowed to tell the writers that the material that has been given to her this season has completely sucked? I find that highly obtuse and extremely stupid to say. Regardless if she is on the show or not, if the material went down south and it showed, they have a right to say it. I would view it more of an obligation and if the writers were writers at all, they would sit down and figure out where they went wrong instead of saying “It’s unfair because she’s on our show.” so what? She’s on your show doesn’t null and void her the opportunity to say “Look here. This is crap”

Not only do I think she is a talented actress and important to the show’s success, but I think it’s great that she has to courage to say what’s good and what isn’t. The crappy writing makes the scenes unwatchable. Not her. It’s not because the actors and actress decided to just suck that season.

Karen Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 04:05 PM EST

Well, no one has to say anything after Paige did such a good job. Paige, you are 100% correct. Very elloquently put, my friend.

Ceballos Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 03:39 PM EST

I said it before, and I'll say it again.

There was a way for Heigl to take herself out of consideration WITHOUT completely trashing the writers that helped make her a megastar in the first place.

However, if the "outspoken" Heigl that everyone seems to love was determined the criticize the material, it would've been nice if she mentioned something about her own performance. Her overacting on the show truly make some of her scenes unwatchable.

Someone please explain to me how criticizing others while completely absolving yourself of any responsibility is "brave."

Jon Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 03:37 PM EST

And in response to this article and to her dropping her own name out of the Emmy’s this year, I call it tact and grace rather than a slap to the face. And she is right. This season her character suffered big time. EVERYONE’S character pretty much suffered greatly. And this is not just because of the writers strike. This show has been going down hill since mid third season. Them bending over backwards to accommodate her movie filming career and what not has NOTHING to do with the fact that the writing has become mediocre all of a sudden. An actress is supposed to work with the material she is given, however if that material in it’s self is mediocre, there is only so much and actress can do with it. It’s by no means ungrateful to give criticism to a show that has suffered greatly this season in the creativity aspect. The writers should be ashamed of them selves for letting go like this.

Dame Aufschneider you are what we call an ignorant hater. That laughable site you have given us is at best good for a cheap laugh.

I love the balls on this girl!

Nat X Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 02:50 PM EST

She wasn't a blip on my radar til she made those comments about "Knocked Up." She had some cajones to say what some people were thinking about that movie. Yeah, it was a funny movie, but it also bothered me on a deeper level. And I don't think she was trying to slam the Grey's writers with her comment. She just didn't think her character did enough to warrant an Emmy. Is that so wrong? Maybe she thought other people on the show were able to do more stuff with their characters this year. I don't get the backlash. Why everybody gotta hate all the time?

Courtney Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 02:09 PM EST

Let her leave Grey's who cares... she complained about Knocked out and Grey's both great things.... why complain about Knocked you read the script... or not...
What an ungrateful b*itch.

"Don't bite the hand that's feeding you"!!! idiot!

rutan07 Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 01:45 PM EST

Izzy went insane long ago and apparently Kathering Heigel joined her. Let the girl leave the show. In fact we don't even have to know the reasons just have her gone come next season and we'll all just accept it.

Sam Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 01:16 PM EST

The writers should respect her enough and let her leave the show if she wants to. I say, let her stay on until the end of Season 5, and then just kill her off. I agree with her that the show was gone dramatically downhill, and her character in particular, has the worst plotlines the last couple seasons. The show needs to do something quick or it's not gonna be the long haul money-making machine that ABC hoped it would be.

Bluefairies Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 01:12 PM EST

I love you guys on this board! The comments about her on tvguide.com are so mamby pamby for the most part. I wouldn't be on this site if Michael Ausiello weren't coming, but seeing the intelligence in this group makes me realize I should have been here a lot sooner. I appreciate it when people can disagree with logic.
