Katherine Heigl Not Knocked Out By Knocked Up?

KHEIGLKISS120107_002.jpg Knocked Up was a surprise smash with audiences this summer - but apparently, one of the film's stars found herself unable to join in on the fun! Katherine Heigl recently took the film to task for being sexist in Vanity Fair, pointing out that "it paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy? Why is this how you’re portraying women?” Wow, those are some pretty harsh words - hopefully she's able to take the royalties from the DVDs and turn them into something fun! (A spectacular honeymoon, perhaps?)



To be honest, we see the merits of Katherine's arguments - but it's a little hard to focus on issues of representation like those when you're doubled over in laughter!

In this picture she reminds me of Ashley Judd. She looks good though, healthy and clean.

In a few years she'll be making the rounds on the Lifetime Channel. I'm sure she'll be much happier with the meaty roles they have to offer.

PARENTAL ADVISORY

KATHERINE IS A PRETTY CUTE CHICK.

IT'S TOO BAD THAT SHE'S RARELY SEEN WITHOUT A DISGUSTING CIGARETTE IN HER HAND THO.

FARNKLY, IT MUST BE SICKENING TO BE AROUND A HUMAN ASH TRAY ALL THE TIME.

Just keepin' it real.

Glad she said what she did. I totally agree. I like silly movies (Superbad is awesome) but Knocked UP was just stupid. And she totally looks like Ashley Judd here.

Ummm, it's portraying one woman, in a COMEDY. It's not Shakespeare.



12:32 - it certainly isn't Shakespeare...nor a comedy.

Oh come ON!?! Are you kidding me?! It's a freakin movie made to make people laugh. She played a role and so did he... just because one woman is portrayed in one way on a movie does not mean they are insinuating ALL woman are like that. Why does every have to be so goddamn politically correct?!

If she felt so strongly about it, why did she agree to play the part? It's like condoning behavior she disagrees with just to advance her career. She's a fool, thinking she would say something like this and get respect as a result.

Ummmm....That was exactly how my sister acted when she got pregnant from her very, very new boyfriend. If anything men should be upset by how they were portrayed on screen. Not every man is completely against commitment and responsibility. Whatever

Well I'm a woman and I thought the movie was funny! She was playing a character who happens to be a certain way. I don't think it is interpreted by many to speak for all women everywhere. She should lighted up a bit. Didn't she say something recently about her Grey's Anatomy character too? What is it with her needing to publicly diss her own work? She has fans. She shouldn't try and act so "keepin' it real" ish. It might get annoying and backfire on her a bit. Just sayin'...

Well, if she was so dissatisfied about portraying that kind of woman then why don't she repay the salary that was paid. Plus she can contact the higher ups and tell them that she do not want any part of the future royalties from the film.

Put your money where your mouth is Miss Heigl, otherwise quit your whinning you make more than the average american citizen, you should be grateful!!

Please don't insult Ashley Judd by saying this snob looks like her. Katherine Heigl can only dream to have the same beauty, class, or be in the same league as Ashley.

Us non-Hollywood types are so stupid that we think ALL women are exactly like ONE made-up character in a comedy. We're not able to enjoy the nuances of playing stereotypes against each other, because we're so dull witted.

If Katherine continues to do well in her career so she gets her choice of rolls, will she only choose roles whose character she feels is ideal in every way? Or will she choose flawed characters (ya know: human) so that the audience can either learn lessons interwoven into the story, or entertain us with silly but humorous situations? Get off your head out of the clouds.

Who forced her to take the part? Maybe she should give up the royalities if she dislikes the whole portrayal. She needs to learn to keep her over opinionated mouth shut.

Bet she bitches about the movie all the way to the bank.

Have another cigarette you annoying puke.

Get over it Katherine! It was just a funny little movie to pass the time away! So, take the money and run and make another funny little movie for other people to enjoy!

Knocked up was a TERRIBLE movie.. total gargabe humor, stupid story line, and about two hours too long. Hopefully Katherine will think twice before doing another movie like this one.

What a long and boring life her husband is going to have....or he's gonna hit all the cute funny groupies out there to make up for this humorless hack of a wife to be. No porn for him thats for sure!

What an ungrateful big-headed bitch! What will she say when she is not offered roles? Nobody put a gun to her head to take the role.
