That's Your Girlfriend: Katherine Heigl
Man, Katherine Heigl is totally your girlfriend. Here, the makers of her new film, The Ugly Truth (which looks great*, btw, you must be very proud), Kristen Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz, talk a little bit about your girlfriend's impressive ability to come up with super great ideas:
The Wrap: Katherine Heigl has a reputation for speaking her mind -- did she weigh in on the script at all?
Kristen Smith: She's smart, so she was a voice to be trusted. She had some really fun ideas -- which we implemented.
Karen McCullah Lutz: Yeah, she wanted her character to be obsessed with flossing, so we added that in.
Sometimes you and your girlfriend, Katherine Heigl, will go to Barnes and Noble and just sit in the cafe reading science magazines (the smartest type of magazine) for hours. You used to enjoy playing Trivial Pursuit but it's not fun anymore because Katherine Heigl, your girlfriend, knows everything. Your nickname for her is The Whiz Kid. Because of how she's a genius. (The Wrap via Mark Lisanti)
UPDATE: oh man, your girlfriend is SUCH AN ASSHOLE!
*Remember after Knocked Up how Katherine Heigl, your girlfriend, complained about the movie being sexist? They call her Guns on set because of how she's always standing by them.

My friends and i were just arguing about how awful she is this morning, I will be sharing. Topical!
Score = 5
I can't wait til she starts a lifestyle website to rival Goop.
Score = 22
I hope it's called Katherine Heigl's Really Awesome Page (KHRAP)
Score = 73
Or Katherine Heigl's Really Awesome Blog Site (KHRABS)
Score = 50
Or Katherine Heigl's Useful News Tracker (you figure it out).
Score = 10
flossing always makes movies better. i empathise with characters more when i know they have good dental hygiene.
Score = 21
You guys, just watch the trailer. Then you'll understand what she's talking about -- this is a movie that needs flossing.
Score = 19
Katherine Heigl is smart, she was in The Ringer.
Score = 5
Replace science magazines with fashion magazines and Gabe has just described most of my dates. :(
Score = 4
She better get a credit!
Score = 5
I always get the feeling that Heigl believes she was the reason everyone loved Knocked Up. Which, of course, is the opposite of true. She was the worst part of that movie. That's why Seth Rogen is in 400 movies, and Heigl is in this atrocity.
Score = 24
I've never understood her appeal. She has all the personality of a hard-boiled de-shelled egg. If I turned a corner and saw her I would flinch.
bring on the backlash.
Score = 4
America sez: "Hot blond, nice body! Personali-what-now?"
Score = 18
Remember "My Father the Hero," where she was Gerard Depardieu's daughter but everyone thought he was molesting her because she told everyone that in order to appear sexier to the island boys? That's the foundation for her strong feminist spine.
Also, that movie was hilarious.
Score = 30
Heigl on her character in Knocked Up: "It paints the women as shrews...why is she being such a killjoy"
Heigl in real life: "(Heigl) quickly tired of waiting for her boyfriend to propose and demanded to know what his intentions were. She even went and picked out the diamond for her ring"
Way to keep the fun bus rolling Kathy.
Score = 49
Atleast she doesn't act like she is 'nice.' I think at best, she might try to downplay all her shit talk as being 'outspoken.' This is preferable to the treacly patronizing tone of most Hollywood actresses. Ofcourse, they should all just shut up and look pretty.
Score = 11
Am I the only one who gets mildly shocked whenever she's brought up? It's all "oh, it's that girl that no one likes" or "oh yeah people still don't like her...I'm still pretty indifferent"
Score = 6
Katherine Heigl strikes me as that girl you knew in high school, the one who already had names for her kids picked out, who lost her middle school pudge and got herself a sadsack boyfriend, was elected to prom court because she worked oh-so-hard organizing it, picking out balloon colors and making sure that "Here's To The Night" was the prom song, then she's off to college, where she does beer bongs off the roofs of frat houses and puts on the freshman fifteen, gets herself a gym membership and works off that fifteen and fifteen more, then decides, after taking Intro to Theatre, that she will go into acting, joins some local playhouse that stages performances of RENT in an old barn off-campus, then decides, once famous, to burn every goddammed bridge she crosses over using the flames of the sexism card, of shitty movies, of BEING YOUR GIRLFRIEND.
Score = 68
Man, those high school grudges always last the longest.
Score = 38
You guys never understood or appreciated the careful thought I put into the balloon color scheme. That was 525,600 minutes of PLANNING THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES. I'll see you at the reunion.
Score = 36
Videogum readers can certainly PROJECT if nothing else...
"Katherine Heigl strikes me as that girl you knew in high school, the one who..."
mannnnnnnnnnnnn....
Score = -4
Larry David wouldn't find this funny at all:
Flossing isn't funny.
Score = 5
On the other hand, it's great material for that Larry David/Katherine Heigl fanfic I'm writing. In it, Larry teaches Katherine THE UGLY TRUTH--viz, that she is the worst--and, her eyes opened to her own atrocity, she travels back in time, kills Hitler, and strangles herself with her own umbilical cord.
Still waiting on that Pulitzer Prize for Best Fanfic.
Score = 6
You know Katherine was in a 2006 episode of Twilight Zone where she did go back in time and kill Hitler? Yep, she drowned baby Hitler, but then, in such a twist, Hitler's nanny replaced him with another baby, and *that's* the baby that ended up being Hitler. Crazy.
Score = 0
The Ugly Truth will be terrible, but i gotta say Randy Quaid looks great for a guy his age.
Score = 3

don't put trivial pursuit and katherine heigl in a post together. it's just not fair. I spent last night playing trivial pursuit and woke up slightly stoned, with a massive hangover and memories of FUN. If I'd spent last night with katherine heigl, I suspect I would have woken up in a ditch somewhere, with no self-respect and maybe without a kidney, because I think that's probably what she eats.
Score = 1
meh i like her- knocked up was sexist anyone who does realize that is a retard.
Score = -25
I have to say, I think this movie really nails the differences between men and women, and we should applaud it for taking on such a taboo subject. Finally!
Score = 36
I know. Men TOTALLY think with their penises!
Score = 15
Back in the day, you had to go to college and date an over-educated underachieving gal who read gossip magazines and watched too much TV to get this kind of snarky, pithy assessment of actors. It was hard, because you couldn't tell your girlfriend that the "news" she was telling you about didn't prove she was smarter than said actors because its source was a hodgepodge of PR-generated quotes and phrases so truthless and fabricated that it WASN'T WORTH HEARING ABOUT.
Today, we've got Videogum. And they call it pro-gress...
Score = -6
Welcome to the future where everyone's a critic. Zing!
Score = 0
She is insufferable. And she's not very hot either. Kind of on the big and tall side.
Score = -16
if you say so
Score = -4
Holy crap. Just watched the Letterman clip. Yeesh.
Score = 3
It was so brutal that I clicked on its top 'related video,' just to escape.
That video, of course, is the Black Eyed Peas' 'Boom Boom Pow.'
... which is all about feminism, obviously. Oh, Internet, sometimes you just act so silly.
Score = 12
That laugh at 4:33 is manic and scary.
Score = 1
"i love how shes straight up telling the truth i mean come on 17hr a day work, wow thats a lot and im glad shes telling the truth, shes a real woman who isnt afraid to stand up to things. shes very cool and i love how shes such an animal lover katherine you rock as well"
Aw man, YouTube commenters deliver again, you guys are the best!
Score = 6
I was just about to comment on that. Gwyneth Paltrow is what Katherine Heigl dreams are made of.
Score = 1
I get that acting is not all glamour, blah blah working craft blah. But seriously, tell someone who gives a shit. I'm willing to bet that at least a few of those 17 hours were spent in your trailer/ sitting around on your ass waiting. People are busting their asses out there for real. They're working that many hours just so they take home in a month what you spend on one pair of shoes. People who work on your show, even. Have some common sense.
Score = 14
I think Katherine Heigl is smart, confident and totally hot. Man, shes so freakin' hot.
Score = -4
Hey, did you know that she loves dogs? What I'd really like to know is if she's hot...
