Paging Dr. Ungreytful -- Get Off Your Heigl Horse!

It's only a matter of time until Katherine Heigl pisses off every writer in Hollywood.

She's already knocked down "Knocked Up" and yesterday Heigl trashed the writing staff at "Grey's Anatomy", too. Sure, the show did kinda blow this season, but she's still gotta work with them. Awkward.

63. i'm a writer and she's an ingrate who needs to get replaced! (even though she's hot). actually, i think abc is kind of looking to do that - i saw this awhile ago: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4909485
they're billing a summer show called "hopkins" as their 'greys anatomy replacement' and the vid shows a blonde resident juxtaposed with izzie clips that kinda reminds you of the material she USED to have....

64. It is about time somewhat spoke up about what passes for good writing on tv shows and movies. Writers get paid alot of money for bad writing because everyone turns the other way rather than face them with the truth because of fear of retaliation. Katherine is and has always been an honest person. She is very brave to speak out about this subject. The fans at home just have to endure the bad writing for their favorite shows. IMO after the Washington fiasco the powers that be decided Katherine was on their black list so they wrote her part lousy and she refuses to take it. She needs supported by the fans; then maybe we would get top quality tv shows instead of one season of a good series and then they turn it to garbage with bad writing.

65. Two words....

David Caruso

Took him a decade just to get something decent (CSI: Miami) and he sucks on it.

66. It's obvious to anyone who's watched Grey's Anatomy last season that Heigl's character has been put on the backburner, being nothing more than reactionary. So why wouldn't she be pissed off about it? This all comes on the heals of Disney trying to screw around with her salary (Shades of Suzanne Somers?). Are the two connected? Some would say that Heigl's character getting put on the backburner was something Disney (who puts out the show) came up with to retaliate against her for having the "gaul" to ask for an adjustment in her salary to reflect what she is now: a bigger star!

The writers put out what their bosses tell them to, and it's obvious that they were told to screw over Heigl. It'd suck if she had to leave the show becaue of all this crap. Her character is one of my favorites on the show.

68. She could have addressed her script concerns in a professional manner (i.e., not enlisting the public) and actually be constructive about it, thereby benefitting her role and the program overall. Or she could chose to be ungrateful and whine to the media and alienate her most important career life-line, the very group of writers she rails against.

69. I agreed she could have complained more discreetly and in private but that may make no impact. Maybe she had talked to Shonda already for all we know but still her character was dragged thru the mud. Maybe she is starting a trend that actors should speak up when their character is asssasinated because of the bad writing.

70. i love the fact that she is so refreshing ... besides the show started to suck and i think it'll continue to suck and its a matter of time before it gets cancelled.
