Here's the link.
With just enough Grey's Anatomy stuff to keep you people happy and lotsa stuff about Knocked Up, which opens today.
I particularly liked this little passage with the quote of hers:
Team Heigl's focus right now is making that often fraught transition from TV to the big screen. ''We're all familiar with how Jennifer Aniston moves, how Courteney Cox speaks, because of 10 years on Friends,'' the actress says. ''But I think if I can find roles that are different enough from Izzie, I can find a way to shake her.''
Hit the nail on the head, she did. I honestly don't know if Jennifer Aniston will grow away from Rachel Green until she looks different than Rachel, and I don't really know if Aniston wants that to happen all that fast.
(Yeah, yeah, I know this is a Katherine Heigl post, but stay with me.)
If she does start to look different than Rachel it would more than likely be because she got older, and then Hollywood deems her unhireable. So what's an actress to do?
Well, for one, like Heigl says, keep doing other stuff. Honestly, though, I don't think that would have helped Jen or Courteney, the show was so damn popular and they were everywhere for a while.
This whole dynamic is why I didn't want to see Jennifer Aniston get raped in Derailed. I didn't want to watch Rachel get raped. I turned it off, and I returned it to the video store, never to watch it again, although I did manage to get through Rumor Has It as the character was more of what I have been lead to expect from countless viewings of episodes of Friends.
But, back to Katherine Heigl, she says this about Isaiah Washington:
Heigl told a TV reporter after the ceremony, ''He needs to just not speak in public.'' ''I didn't have a courageous moment,'' she says. ''I had a couple glasses of champagne, and I was furious and frustrated for my friend and sick of the whole mess of it.'' ''I was floored,'' says Knight, who heard the next day about Heigl coming to his defense. ''How often is someone going to stick their neck out publicly for someone, at the risk of getting slapped in some way, shape, or form? That doesn't happen! But she's fierce and honest and a great friend.''
Most of all, the article's about this movie, which will be the comedy of the Summer (no, I don't get paid to say that, it's just true).
One last snip, about her manager/mom (don't think Dina Lohan, it's not like that):
She attributes much of her success to her mother's good sense and shrewd business savvy. ''Nobody can watch her back better than I can,'' says Nancy, before reminding her daughter again to eat, eat. The actress nods admiringly. ''She really lures them in with the needlepointing and the Ann Taylor Loft clothes,'' she says. ''Nobody would suspect that she's a pit bull.''
Instead of partying with her and IMing her friends, this woman actually watches out for her.
Amazing!
