Katherine Heigl in Maria Lucia Hohan in Paris: flattering or fug?
One of the (few) things I?ve always liked about Katherine Heigl is that she?s not a small girl. She?s tall, she has a lovely bust, she?s got ?soft? looking figure. I?m sure she?s toned and everything – but she doesn?t look like she spends all of her free time doing yoga and Pilates, which I appreciate. She looks like she eats normal food and struggles with a diet and exercise program, just like most women. And like most women, I think Heigl struggles to figure out what kind of styles flatter her figure. Some days, she gets it right, but for the most part, Heigl?s style really, really sucks.

So here are new photos of Heigl at the French premiere of One for the Money, the Stephanie Plum movie that kind of bombed this past weekend. Heigl wore this custom Maria Lucia Hohan which? it?s really pretty from the front. I don?t think the bust fits Heigl the way it should, but it?s very pretty. From the back, though? rough. That sheer panel looks like Heigl?s control-top pantyhose is creeping up, and it makes her back look? bad.

Still, you can tell Heigl loves her dress, and she wants to flutter her skirt around, even at the expense of her husband trying to kiss on her. Poor Josh. I actually like Heigl?s makeup and hair too – I think this look is mostly a win. She just should pose over-the-shoulder.

Katherine Heigl Premieres
She?s no stranger to swanky movie premieres, and Katherine Heigl was back on the red carpet for her ?One For the Money? debut in Paris, France on Tuesday night (January 31).

The ?Knocked Up? star looked picture-perfect as she posed for pictures and chatted with press before disappearing inside the Cinema Gaumot Marignan venue.

In the film, which hit US theaters last Friday, Heigl?s character has a nude shower scene and she recently opened up about it to E! Online.

The 33-year-old confessed, "It's so uncomfortable. You are just never happy with the way you look. No matter how hard I tried or how little I ate that whole day hoping my stomach would stay flat, it doesn't matter."

Katherine Heigl's 'One for the Money' crashes at the box office: is her career over'

Katherine Heigl's 'One for the Money' crashes at the box office: is her career over'
These are photos of Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley this weekend in Paris, and — surprise, surprise — they brought Katherine’s mom, Nancy, along for the trip and collectively did a little Sunday morning shopping at the flea market. Poor Josh. For many spouses, it’s only a natural reaction to recoil at spending time with in-laws, but he seems to take it in stride. Or maybe he just has no choice?

At any rate, Katherine has much more pressing issues to deal with than whether or not Mom should be hanging around during what could be a romantic getaway. Her latest movie, One for the Money, performed terribly at the box office with a mere $12.6 million opening weekend. Of course, it looked like a hideous movie from the very beginning. Yet for years now, Heigl’s been making really awful movies that have miraculously fared well at the box office regardless of quality. From a global perspective, 27 Dresses grossed $160 million, and The Ugly Truth brought in $205 million. It wasn’t until Killers that Heigl’s reputation began to catch up with her at the box office, and part of that movie’s failure could be the miscasting of a shirtless Ashton Kutcher. Of course, Heigl likely gathered most of the blame in that instance because of her admittedly crappy attitude while promoting films and while delivering an Emmy speech. NY Mag has weighed in on Heigl’s image problem, and it’s pretty brutal stuff:

Like Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, and Reese Witherspoon before her, Heigl used to be a “Turn-key” — just get her signed on and you had yourself a go picture. No longer. Heigl now not only finds herself off that vaunted list, but “she’s not on any lists at all,” says one top talent agent. “She’s on a respirator. She’s not the girl anymore.” Instead, Heigl has fallen out of view, far, far behind a pack of young insurgent leading ladies — Emma Stone, Amanda Seyfried, Scarlett Johannson, Mila Kunis, Kristen Stewart, and Kirsten Dunst — who themselves have nowhere near the clout that Roberts, Bullock, and Jolie et al. once did. Even Mia Wasikowska, who isn?t known for comedy, is ahead of Heigl now, as is Another Earth star Britt Marling. In short, when all of these names are ahead of you, you can’t really claim to be on a short list.

Though she’s known for playing the statuesque blonde who?s a goody two-shoes, her frosty public image subsumes that, and it’s cost Heigl her core fan base. [T]he studio behind Money, Lionsgate, seems to acknowledge the effect she now has on people. Says one distribution chief, “Look at the TV spots: You notice that they’re not calling her out? There?s no ‘Katie Heigl stars in …’ They’re going out of their way to not mention her. They’re hiding her; they might as well black her f&*#ing face out. Because when you don’t call out a movie star like that? They know there’s an issue. She did something to turn everyone off. Whether it’s behavior or perception, but she did something.”

Reps say there’s a great irony in that Heigl’s next film is called One For the Money — it neatly sums up her approach to most movies since 27 Dresses. “They [her agents at Paradigm] really tried to maximize her quote, but they out-priced her,” says one agent. “Then she followed that price up with bad bombs and bad attitude. She doesn’t have the value she used to have, and people think she’s incredibly difficult to deal with.”

Oddly, her flops seem to showcase a cognitive dissonance caused by Heigl’s public persona: She was playing a relatable love interest, and yet moviegoers increasingly thought of her as tough and snappy. Says a marketing exec, “In Killers, she was a pampered rich girl who’s a goody-two-shoes. She’s all kerfuffled when she bumps into [Ashton] Kutcher, because she’s a ‘nice girl.’ Come on. This [new role as a tough bail bondsman in Money] is a little off that hard-core image disconnect, but it might be too late.” Had she taken on unapologetically bitchy, maneater roles earlier, we might have less of a time suspending disbelief. After all, Angelina Jolie really popped in Mr. & Mrs. Smith when she paired her bad-girl offscreen rep with a femme fatale role that was far more edgy than Lara Croft. But the time for that course correction seems to be nearly past: Two top publicists say there’s little to be done except wait for the radioactivity to die down, and reemerge in either indie film or network television.

“I think she tried to fix this with PR once, but at this point, I don’t buy anything coming out of her mouth,” says one top flack. “It’s funny, because the question we were asking ourselves last night is, ‘Does she have really bad management, or just terrible taste?’ Momagers are never helpful, but part of the problem seems to that she seems to have become incredibly complacent with her choices: She’s out there promoting crap, and people are not respecting that.”

Another publicist is incredulous at Heigl’s temerity in her ham-handedly public disclosure that she?d been seeking a return to Grey’s Anatomy. “She wants to return to the show?” asked one PR maven, incredulously. “Once you walk away from a show like that — the way she did — there’s no going back. And to say it that way, ‘I always felt that if they wanted me to come back’ and ‘I want them to know that I’m down with it if they want me to … ‘ is amazing [chutzpah]. She needs to stay away [from the limelight] for a while, come back with a film worth seeing, and be given extremely detailed talking points to promote it. She has to prove herself as a human being and an actor.”

[From NYMag]

Moviefone has also chimed in on the Heigl problem by discussing a One for the Money Groupon promotion that failed to help matters even while targeting Heigl’s key demographic of age 25-to-35 women who would ideally still be fans of her work on “Grey’s Anatomy” and also be familiar with Janet Evanovich’s literary source material. Moviefone has concluded that the issue is partially a matter of Heigl “need[ing] to find better material,” such as a villainous role in manner of Julia Roberts in My Best Friend’s Wedding. Still, they advise her to take significant time off before attempting to make a grand return to Hollywood’s good graces.

I cannot help but feel badly for Katherine in some regard. Yes, she’s a mouthy tart but has acknowledged as much in an effort to make amends. However, Heigl hasn’t found it easy to change the public perception of herself as a diva. Even her recent frank and levelheaded essays about motherhood and marriage have generated some discussion but seem largely like a PR maneuver and last-ditch effort to repair a badly damaged reputation. It’s the same problem that Megan Fox ran into a few years ago when her mouth got ahead of her career. Sure, both Katherine and Megan are guilty of acting like brats when it comes to badmouthing their own movies, but are they really worse than some of the guys who do the same thing? I mean, Robert Pattinson is notorious for crapping all over the Twilight franchise (which has made him many millions and turned him into a household name), but he is widely celebrated in that regard. When he does it, it’s funny. Yet when women like Katherine or Megan do it, well screw them, right?

Here’s more of Katherine and Josh at the flea market working in a snuggle while Mom stepped out of the picture for a moment. Unfortunately, Katherine’s styling continues to be an issue with unflattering hair and sunglasses doing most of the damage in these photos.

Fortunately, Katherine did decide to leave Mom at the hotel so that she and Josh could enjoy a romantic dinner and trip to the Eiffel Tower on Saturday evening. I hope they at least booked Mom a separate hotel suite as well.

"One for the Money": In Theaters Now!
Added 12 years agoSource: Celebrity Gossip

Bringing the popular Janet Evanovich series to the silver screen, "One for the Money" made its way into theaters everywhere today (January 27).

Starring Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Plum, the film tells the story of "unemployed and newly-divorced Stephanie Plum landing a job at her cousin's bail-bond business, where her first assignment puts her on the trail of a wanted local cop from her romantic past."

While giving press to movie, Ms. Heigl explained why "One for the Money" is a good 'non-chick-flick,' telling, "I think what's sort of interesting about the books, is that they all have like a murder mystery tie-in with the bounty-hunting aspect of it. So it's not all just about romance. It's not all just about comedy. Especially, actually, in this movie, the murder mystery storyline is kind of dark and a little edgy, and gives it a vibe that is not purely chick-flick-ish. I'm really excited about it because I think it does appeal to everyone. It isn't just a girls' movie, and I think we're working hard to advertise it so everyone knows that. It's a good time for everyone, men included. And I forgot where I was going."

Adding to the project's star power, the Julie Anne Robinson-directed picture also hosts John Leguizamo, Jason O'Mara and Sherri Shepherd on its cast roster.

Katherine Heigl's Leroux gown & grandmother hair: over-styled or lovely'
These are some new photos of Katherine Heigl at last night?s NYC premiere of One for the Money, the first (and hopefully last?) adaptation of Janet Evanovich?s Stephanie Plum-bounty-hunter series. I cannot even begin to describe how AWFUL this movie looks, or what a terrible casting choice Dame Heigl was for the Plum role. And here?s a telling sidenote: considering how Jersey-centric the stories are, did it not occur to anyone to do the premiere IN New Jersey?

But let?s just concentrate on how Heigl looked at the premiere – she wore this full-on Herve L. Leroux gown which? eh. It looks like a dress Heigl could have worn to the Golden Globes, and on the red carpet for her premiere, it just seems overblown. Too goddessy. That being said, it?s a pretty enough dress, and Heigl?s body looks good. Her styling is another matter altogether. What is Heigl?s consistent styling problem? She always wears way too much makeup, and her hair is always a grandmother-approved wreck. Plus, I couldn?t swear to it, but she looks tweaked to me. It could just be the shovel-full of makeup, though.

Let?s get back to the movie – how terrible. My biggest concern, though, is that it WON?T bomb. That it will actually make money and they?ll think about making another one.

Katherine Heigl Premieres
With just three days left until its January 27th theatrical release date, Katherine Heigl hit the red carpet for the New York City premiere of "One for the Money" on Tuesday night (January 24).

The former "Grey's Anatomy" actress brightened up the AMC Loews Lincoln Square venue in a fabulous red frock as she mongled with fellow guests including co-stars John Leguizamo, Jason O'Mara, Debbie Reynolds, Sherri Shepherd and author Janet Evanovich.

Directed by Julie Anne Robinson, "One for the Money" tells the story of "unemployed and newly-divorced Stephanie Plum landing a job at her cousin's bail-bond business, where her first assignment puts her on the trail of a wanted local cop from her romantic past."

Talking about her thoughts on the character of Miss Plum - who has been the subject of seventeen books - Heigl said, "I just think there's something about her that's really endearing. You just really like her. She's a decent person with a big heart, and she's fearless and courageous but perpetually puts herself in situations where she's in over her head?but doesn't take herself very seriously. She doesn't take other people too seriously. She has this great perspective on life that happens to be really funny and witty and charming as well. I just like everything about Stephanie, and she's that hapless heroine that we don't get a lot of. Normally you get the overly perfect heroines that you can never aspire to be like, but Stephanie's a sort of everyday girl."

Also commenting on what she feels makes "One for the Money" a good 'non-chick-flick,' the 33-year-old dished, "I think what's sort of interesting about the books, is that they all have like a murder mystery tie-in with the bounty-hunting aspect of it. So it's not all just about romance. It's not all just about comedy. Especially, actually, in this movie, the murder mystery storyline is kind of dark and a little edgy, and gives it a vibe that is not purely chick-flick-ish. I'm really excited about it because I think it does appeal to everyone. It isn't just a girls' movie, and I think we're working hard to advertise it so everyone knows that. It's a good time for everyone, men included. And I forgot where I was going."

Hot on the promotional circuit for her upcoming film ?One For the Money,? Katherine Heigl was spotted arriving at the ?Today? show in New York City on Tuesday (January 24).

The ?Knocked Up? star was all smiles and looked radiant as she made her way inside the ABC Studios for her sit-down interview.

I want her to get back with Alex, because I do not like watching him with other actresses on the show. It really upsets me, makes me jealous. She should come back and claim her man and claim her career and rise again, like a phoenix."

Yesterday, during a stop on ?The View,? Heigl?s adorable adopted daughter Naleigh joined her mama onstage to the delight of the audience members.

Agreeing with the ladies of ?The View,? the actress exclaimed, ?She is completely upstaging me!?

Katherine Heigl on marital bliss: 'Is a great marriage really even possible?'
Added 12 years agoSource: CeleBitchy
Katherine Heigl on marital bliss: 'Is a great marriage really even possible?'
A few weeks ago, Katherine Heigl embarked upon a celebrity blog for iVillage with a rather frank essay on her struggles to identify both as a mother and an actress as well as why she prefers being a working mother. It was a pretty coherent and rather lucid essay, in which Heigl resisted the temptation of appearing preachy towards mothers who either elect to stay at hom with their children or have no choice whether or not to work. Yeah, Heigl’s got a nanny to help her out with the technicalities and early morning risings that motherhood demands; yet she was quick to point out that while her decision to continue acting (in crappy romcoms) might make her feel like a better mother, she understood that it’s not the best thing for every mother. She won many of you over with her thoughts, and I started to like her more too.

This week, Katherine tackles what I feel is an even touchier subject by giving her thoughts on marriage. Of course, she’s only been married to Josh Kelley for four years, but her thoughts are still relevant to the subject. It’s a rather lengthy essay, so I cut out some of the anthropological details about a South American civilization (which allows for four annual days of hedonism and adultery) that Katherine uses as an illustration how other cultures seek to prevent divorce. Basically, she takes a very monogamous stance on that example and then goes on to describe the difficulties she’s already experienced in her marriage:

Josh and I were recently asked at the American Music Awards how we make our marriage work in Hollywood. We answered the best we could but when the interview went live, we suddenly found ourselves to be the poster couple for successful marriages. My first thought was, “That’s a hell of a lot of pressure. We better make this work!” My second thought was, “What is my real answer to that question once given an opportunity to think about it?” The topic of relationships with a partner or spouse is a pretty relatable one, and it’s something people have been trying to figure out since the beginning of time.

I have no desire to physically hook up with any man other than my husband and have been a serial monogamist from the moment of my first serious relationship at 20. I have never been able to connect with a man sexually without it becoming emotional, without giving a piece of my heart and soul to that connection. I always loved the idea of Samantha on Sex and the City, but it just isn’t how I’m built. I understand that every human being on earth wonders if the grass might be greener in other pastures, but I could never imagine myself really going there or really wanting to. I guess the relationship I’m in is so consuming that the idea of a dalliance with another man sounds exhausting. It’s hard enough to make one connection work — I can’t imagine, even for four days, splitting myself between two!

What I took away from the story of the village was the idea of not taking your partner for granted. We all do and will throughout the course of our lives with each other — after all, that’s just human nature. But I wonder if being aware of it can help me to do it less. I very easily slip into negative patterns of nagging, bossing, frustration and miscommunication. Josh easily slips into negative patterns of not paying attention, work consumption, forgetfulness and miscommunication. When we start orbiting around each other in this way, it’s pretty easy to forget what the gravitational pull was that brought our planets into alignment was in the first place.

I’ve certainly had moments, as I’m sure Josh has, where I’ve asked myself if it’s really worth it. Is a great marriage really even possible? Do you just resign yourself to the idea of growing old with someone you don’t talk to anymore, share anything with but your children, and avoid like the plague? Yes, the giddy romance of first love fades but does love itself just wither away as if it’s a season coming to an end?

It would be preachy and nave of me to tell you I have the answers to those questions. Josh and I have only been married four years and though that may seem record-breaking in Hollywood, we’re still considered newlyweds to the rest of the world. What I can tell you is that I was infatuated with this man the moment I met him. I was crazy about him three weeks later, and madly in love with him two more after that. More often than not he brings the best out of me and when he doesn’t, I tell him the truth about how he’s let me down and listen when he tells me the same. He makes me laugh like no one else, he makes me feel safer than I’ve ever felt, adored with abandon and when he doesn’t, I tell him how I feel ignored and listen when he tells me I’ve driven him away.

I have been drawn to this man like a bee to honey and I can’t quite explain it but I do know he’s worth it. We stand by each other, we respect each other’s thoughts, ideas, passions and fears. We compromise constantly for each other and change for each other when compromising isn’t the answer. We’ve had some pretty explosive fights over the years trying to make our marriage work, but it’s been worth it.

[From iVillage]

Okay, it’s really easy to read Katherine’s thoughts on marital squabbles as well as losing the initial butterflies of early relationship bliss and conclude that she must certainly be on her way to a split. Yet I don’t think that’s the case, for it sounds like she and Josh have figured out how to balance their differences and learn to communicate, which is generally be a neverending struggle for any couple whether they’re willing to accept the challenge or not.

I also truly appreciate that Katherine admits that her marriage isn’t without flaws. Once again, she’s not Gooping it up by claiming to be perfect and she’s not actively avoiding the issue like Sarah Jessica Parker (and her “splitting the atom of our marriage” talk) does. Instead, Katherine sounds like a real woman here, and Josh (from the outside anyway) seems like a pretty good husband to Katherine. They enjoy regular outings together, there are no whisperings of him cheating on her, and he seems to be really good at carrying her luggage and pushing a grocery cart. On that last point, I’m completely not knocking the guy either. My husband never did that.

Katherine Heigl: working outside the home 'makes me a better mother'

Katherine Heigl: working outside the home 'makes me a better mother'
Katherine Heigl wisely took a bit of time off after she and husband Josh Kelley adopted their daughter, Naleigh. Of course, I’m not judging the timing of said time off other than to say that it was convenient for Katherine to become a first-time mother at a point when she was quickly reaching a saturation point in Hollywood romcom territory. She needed a break anyway, and her daughter certainly must have appreciated the extra bonding time with mommy. Then a few months ago, Heigl surfaced to promote New Year’s Eve and commenced chipping away at her “ice queen” image with a couple of rather candid interviews and a Funny or Die video that poked fun at her image. Now Heigl is promoting One for the Money, and she seeks to humanize herself further with an iVillage guest blog about balancing life as a working mother. Why yes, she has a nanny, but she does make a valid point or two regardless:

I have always known I wanted to be a mother . . . I have also always known I wanted to be an actress . . . I could not have known when I was 10 years old holding other women?s children and playing the greatest game of make-believe on earth that I would one day have to reconcile my two great loves. I didn’t realize that having it all would not look and feel as I imagined. I knew, of course, as I prepared to welcome my daughter into my life that it would be a bit of a juggling act but I had no doubt that I could do it. After all, it’s 2012 and women have been told that we can have it all if we want it. I went into it full throttle, ready to buckle down and make it all work seamlessly as I always imagined I could. The thing is I couldn’t.

No matter how great my intentions, how lofty my goals, how passionate my commitment, I was failing. I was failing my work, I was failing my daughter, I was failing my husband. I was stressed out and exhausted. I was worried and afraid it was all slipping through my fingers no matter how tight my grip. I couldn’t appreciate or enjoy the moments with Naleigh because I feared they weren’t enough for her and knew they weren’t enough for me. I couldn?t enjoy the work because I was so distracted by the little being in my trailer waiting for me. I couldn’t help but wonder what I had gotten myself into and if the choice I made to be a working mother was the most selfish decision of my life.

I spent months wondering if I would have to let my career go, if I could even let it go. Telling myself that Naleigh is and should be all that matters to me now, I started to scale back my work commitments and stay home more with my child. I was there every night to make her dinner, give her a bath, put on her jammies, read her a book and put her to bed. I was there every morning to get her up (though, let’s be honest, I’m not much of a morning person so having a nanny and a husband happy to do mornings is a huge blessing!), make her breakfast, watch The Little Mermaid with her, go on play dates and so on and so on. I was there and I loved it but when the next job came around I jumped like a fish starving for water.

I asked myself what was wrong with me. How can I want to leave my child to go back to work? How can I miss all those important little moments with her to do nothing more significant then make a movie? I mean, at least if I were a renowned scientist working on solving world hunger I might have an excuse. The simple truth is that I love my daughter passionately and as most mothers do, think she is the smartest, funniest, prettiest child in the whole world — but she cannot fulfill everything in me.

After months of being a full-time mom, the prospect of going back to work thrilled me, brought my mind and creativity into sharp focus and made me feel that old familiar drive that has inspired me my whole life. I needed to put this gift I?ve been given to perform back to use. To do that, I had to come to terms with the fact that my definition of having it all had changed. Having it all meant that every time I take a job, my heart will break a little when I come home too late for bed time, when I miss something funny or clever or charming she has said, when I am not there to comfort her when she gets hurt. Having it all meant constantly beating myself up for compromising my mothering to be an artist and my art to be a mother and then finding a way to let the guilt go. I began to understand that the blessing and the curse were one in the same, that nothing great comes without a price.

Now when I take a job, I look my daughter in the eye, screw up my courage and try to explain to her that Mommy has to go to work. And when she looks back at me and says, “But why?,” I tell her the truth: that work makes me a better person, a better woman, a better mother. Then I pray to God that she will understand one day and that my example will encourage her to find and follow her bliss as well … after I’ve paid for all the therapy, of course.

Katherine signs off with a nice little dose of humor, which makes her previous paragraphs seem less — how do you say — judgmental than they might otherwise be construed. After all, very few topics are quite as potentially inflammatory as a celebrity telling readers (many of whom are mothers) the best way to raise a child. Here, Heigl is saying what works best for her instead of getting all preachy in manner of Goop.

As a side note … can you imagine Goop writing this sort of essay? You know it would be a total nightmare and end with a requisite prescription for a $450 colon cleanse.

Getting back to Heigl’s words, I completely understand what she’s saying about feeling more complete while spending some of her time on a film set while cutting back the scale of her work. Obviously, the question of working outside the home is a personal choice for every mother to make on her own. Sometimes and in my own mind, I think we do the opposite of what we grew up with as children. Since I grew up as a latchkey kid, I was determined to not have my daughter go through that experience, so I now work from home. Financially, it can be a struggle at times, but it’s worth it … for me. And Katherine has found what works best for her as a mother even if, as an actress, she’s really not the “artist” that she seems to believe herself to be. At least, most of the movie and television work that she’s accepted hasn’t required any great stretching in that regard.

Still, I do love this photo of Katherine and Naleigh together. It should be on a greeting card.

Katherine Heigl covers Cosmo UK, claims Hollywood labeled her 'mouthy'

Katherine Heigl covers   Cosmo UK, claims Hollywood labeled her 'mouthy'
Katherine Heigl covers the January issue of Cosmopolitan UK – how terrible is this cover shot? They Photoshopped her face in a really bad way, and the dress and the positioning of her body? it?s just terrible. Anyway, Heigl is on the war path! Not really, but since she?s promoting New Year?s Eve and One For the Money, it feels like Dame Heigl is on a mission to give the best interviews possible. Meaning that it feels forced, but this one isn?t as lacking in self-awareness as her Elle Magazine cover profile. Here are some highlights:

On not having a killer figure: “I was 20 pounds heavier and wanted to look like those girls with fantastically beautiful bodies like Jennifer Aniston or Jessica Alba, but I just couldn’t lose the weight. It’s only now that I realize how hard those girls work for their bodies, and what level of commitment they make to do that,” she says. The yoga, personal training sessions and painstakingly planned meal plans that make Aniston and Alba’s bods world-famous just aren’t for her, she explains. “I’m too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!”

What she would do if her husband cheated: “I’ve been debating this lately. Josh and I always said that cheating would be a deal breaker; there is no second chance. But I’ve seen friends and acquaintances go through it and they?ve found a way back to the relationship, and a way to forgive each other. And as much as I would kill him if he cheated because it would destroy me, I have started to question whether, if a mistake were to be made and it was a one-time thing, I would forgive him. Because look at the life we’ve built together. We have history, we have a child…But at the same time, it would be really hard to ever fully trust that person again.”

She?s mouthy: ?Hollywood likes to label everyone so you?re easier to identify. I didn?t mind it; I got mouthy, the way a child does when you celebrate them for something. The mouthier I got, the more I?d be celebrated. I was like, ?You think that?s outspoken? How about this?? Then it bit me in the hand.?

On one night stands: ?I don?t like them. I?ve never met a single woman who has ever walked away from a one-night stand and been like, ?That was awesome! Oh, my god! Best ever!??

[Cosmo UK via Us Weekly & Celebrity Gossip]

I?ve walked away from one-night-stands saying ?That was great, and I?m glad I don?t have to see that person ever again.? I?m not a fan of the idea that all women want relationships and all men just want sex – it?s such a dated idea, and sometimes, ladies like to get their rocks off with some dude they?ll never see again.

As for the mouthy thing? with Heigl, it?s one step forward, two steps back. Yes, she is mouthy. No one was like, ?Hey, we?ll randomly label her ?mouthy?!? She actually doesn?t know when to STFU. She?s rude, she?s unprofessional, and it?s not just other people randomly labeling her those things. She wants to be a rude bitch and still play the put-upon victim.
