Katherine Heigl | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Katherine Heigl is looking back on the days when she was labeled as a “difficult” actress to work with in Hollywood.

The label was created after the actress called her 2007 movie Knocked Up “a little sexist,” then decided not to submit herself for the 2008 Emmys because she felt her material on Grey’s Anatomy didn’t warrant a nomination, and then complained in 2009 about her 17-hour workdays on the medical drama series.

“I may have said a couple of things you didn’t like, but then that escalated to ‘she’s ungrateful,’ then that escalated to ‘she’s difficult,’ and that escalated to ‘she’s unprofessional,’” Katherine said in a Washington Post interview. “What is your definition of difficult? Somebody with an opinion that you don’t like? Now, I’m 42, and that s— pisses me off.”

“At the time, I was just quickly told to shut the f— up. The more I said I was sorry, the more they wanted it,” she added. “The more terrified and scared I was of doing something wrong, the more I came across like I had really done something horribly wrong.”

Katherine Heigl is calling out the storyline that involved Alex going back to Izzie at the end of season 16 of Grey’s Anatomy.

The 42-year-old actress, who played Izzie from season one until season six, when the character was written out as Alex (Justin Chambers) refused to resume their marriage.

Katherine had asked to be written out of the show in order to spend more time with her family at that time.

In a new interview, Katherine gave her thoughts about the recent storyline, which had Alex leaving his new wife, Jo, to be with Izzie and their twin children.

“I didn’t see it,” Katherine revealed to ET, but did recall that Alex was with Jo. “Listen, isn’t that an a**hole move?”

Previously, showrunner Krista Vernoff explained why that was the only logical choice of Alex’s exit.

“At the end of the day, there were three choices,” she shared with TVLine. “Kill Alex off camera; have Alex be alive and in Seattle — and still married to Jo — and we just never see him; or [reunite him] with Izzie.”

Katherine also revealed if she’d return to the long running series at all.

“I’m super focused on this show and my passion for it,” she shared of Firefly Lane. “I would never say never but it’s not likely.”

The teaser trailer for the upcoming horror movie Fear of Rain, starring Katherine Heigl, has been released!

The movie is going to get a limited theatrical release on February 12 and it will be available on digital HD and on VOD the same day. You can get a Blu-ray or DVD copy on February 16.

Here is the full synopsis: For teenager Rain Burroughs (Madison Iseman), a diagnosis with schizophrenia means that every day is a struggle as she tries to figure out which of the disturbing images, harrowing voices, and traumatic feelings she experiences are real and which are all in her mind. But when Rain insists against her parents’ (Katherine Heigl and Harry Connick, Jr.) advice that the shadows and cries from her neighbor’s attic are hiding a dark secret, she enlists help from Caleb (Israel Broussard), the charmingly awkward new boy at school – who himself may not be real.

Katherine Heigl has lined up her next film program with new limited series, Woodhull.

The 42-year-old actress, best known for her roles on Roswell and Grey’s Anatomy, will star as Victoria Woodhull, the first ever woman to run for President of the United States.

The series will be based on multiple biographies chronicling the life of Ms. Woodhull, and Katherine will also executive produce the show, Deadline says.

“The moment I discovered the almost too big to be true story of Victoria I have been enthralled and deeply invested in bringing her life story to the screen,” Katherine shared in a statement. “Victoria’s outrageous courage, determination, intelligence and hutzpah would be remarkable in our modern times but was downright revolutionary in hers. Her name and her story has not been celebrated nearly enough for the trails she blazed and the paths she forged for all the women who came after her. I cannot wait to tell the story of this woman who would not be stopped in a time that forbade her to even start.”

Victoria Woodhull ran for President in 1872 for the Equal Rights Party, which supported women’s suffrage and equal rights, and her running mate was abolitionist leader Frederick Douglas.

She, along with her sister Tennessee, were also the first women to operate a brokerage firm on Wall Street and the money they made from that, they used to start a newspaper.

Victoria‘s run for President was darkened when she was arrested and charged for printing obscenities after their paper published an exposé of a renowned preacher, revealing that he had committed adultery.

Just recently, it was rumored that Katherine might be returning to Grey’s Anatomy in one of Meredith’s dreams. However, it turned out to be this character instead.

Grey’s Anatomy fans have some theories based on Ellen Pompeo‘s latest tweet!

Back on Thursday (November 19), the 51-year-old actress, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey, sent out a tweet along with a gif of Meredith with Dr. Izzie Stevens (played by Katherine Heigl).

“Hey it’s Grey’s day!!!” Ellen tweeted along with the gif of the two characters from season three.

A promo for the next episode of Grey’s – airing on Thursday, December 3 – teased that another character from Meredith’s past will be returning.

After the promo debuted, fans started theorizing that the character might be Izzie.

“IZZIE COMING BACK??” one fan tweeted.

“Hey… could you hint us who’s next on the beach?” another person tweeted, to which Ellen responded, “Ummmmmm…No.”

After Meredith collapsed from COVID-19 at the beginning the season premiere, she dreamed about being on the beach, where she reunited with late husband Derek Shepherd – aka Patrick Dempsey.

Katherine starred on Grey’s for six seasons before leaving the show in 2010. As fans can remember, Izzie was not killed off.

If you missed it, Katherine Heigl has been back in the headlines this week after this former Grey’s Anatomy actor publicly slammed her.

Isaiah Washington was fired from Grey’s Anatomy back in 2007 for using a homophobic slur, and now, 13 years later, he is calling out his former co-star, Katherine Heigl.

In the Golden Globes press room back in 2007, Washington famously addressed the rumor that he used a derogatory term and said, “No, I did not call T.R. [Knight] a f—-t. Never happened, never happened.”

Katherine slammed Washington at the time, saying, “I’m going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period. I’m sorry, that did not need to be said, I’m not okay with it.”

Well, on Monday (November 16), Washington tweeted a photo of Katherine with the caption, “This woman once proclaimed that I should ‘never’ be allowed to speak publicly again. The world agreed with her proclamation back then and protested for my job and my head in 65 languages. I wish I was on Twitter in 2007, because I will NEVER stop exercising my free speech.”

He then continued to tweet out more and more about the incident.
