So Katherine Heigl in today’s news pulled her name from the running in this
year’s EMMY awards. She told Tom O’Neil, “I did not feel that I was given the
material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain
the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention.
In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an
actress who was given such materials.”
She’s
blaming the writers for the lack of good material for her this season, but
had no problem accepting the award last year. She also slammed Knocked Up,
which made her a star. If she thought Knocked Up was sexist, why did she take
the role? Cash and the potential for fame won out, I guess. I support her right
to feel the way she does, and she probably has some grounds, BUT, she read
the script, so she must’ve known what she was in for.
I mean we all have opinions, criticisms and stuff about film and
TV, but to shit on the two things that made you a name (27 Dresses and Roswell
ain’t gonna do it), come on.
So what’s another entitled actress to do? She and
Lindsay and the rest of them can party, complain, and excuse themselves from
the Hollywood A-List one by one. Apparently gratitude is in short supply in
the Heigl household. If only I had been born a marginally talented hot girl,
then my shit wouldn’t stink too. Give me a freakin’ break. Full
