Pajiba

The website didn't make you hate her, she made you hate her. The website just made you aware of it.

It's like - I want to like her? Then I come here and you people make it impossible. Now I have to remove 27 Dresses from my Netflix queue.

Thanks Pajiba!

I like her. I'll always like her. Nyah.

No, I don't watch Grey's Anatomy -- I don't really care for soap operas -- but I suspect most people are confusing the character with the actress. Hollywood is a target-rich environment for ego-bashing, so there must be an alternate reason why it's chic to pick on Heigl.

"...but I suspect most people are confusing the character with the actress..."

Eh, no.

Her uber-cunt rep has been legendary since waaaaaay back when she bitched and moaned while working on Roswell.

Oh for fuck's sake barbadoslim, the point wasn't about liking or disliking Heigl. The point was that it's wrong to reduce a person to her sexuality, especially in a negative way. The whole goddamn argument revolved around the inappropriateness of 'skankcancer' as a nickname, considering she's simply a horrendous jerk and not in any way "skanky." Not to mention it's fucked up in general to slut-shame women.

The nickname is demeaning, it's wrong, and it's just fucking lazy. I- like the rest of the "fan club" to which you so disingenuously refer- expected better from pajiba, and we said as much.
So give it a fucking rest, would you? You aren't funny, you aren't clever, and the type of 'humor' you offer certainly isn't original.

I'm not your friend, buddy.

I'm not your buddy, guy.

And it doesn't matter what you say to me, at the end of the day Heigl will still be a raging cunt who will most probably succumb to lung cancer on account her 5-pack a day habit, and a HORRIBLE actress.

Stick THAT up your full bush.

The consistent Heigl-bashing 'round these parts just makes me want to defend her more. Not that I think she's the greatest thing to happen to movies or television ever, but I think she's harmless and the fact that Pajiba goes out of its way to shit on her reputation whenever they can is the one predominantly sour note over the whole website.

……In this corner the Dark Lord of Hate, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, from parts unknown, Barbadooooooooooooooo Slimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Slimmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

…….And in this corner the young upstart, the future of pajiba, the pimp with a limp, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, The Biggggggggg Spenderrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ok guys you know the rules, no hitting below the belt unless it is absolutely necessary, and protect yourself at all times, now when the bell rings come out swinging, and good luck to the both of you.

Wait, didn't the 'Jiban community already roundly condemn Valentine's Day based on the premise and casting news alone? And now we're shitting on Heigl for not bending over backwards to be in that same movie?

Someone explain this to me in small words, because I'm having trouble understanding exactly why Katherine Heigl is a bitch in this specific instance. Not any other instance, just this one.

Genny, that is a good point.

We are so schizo.

We are so schizo.

No, we are not. We are a site visited by tons of people with differing opinions, run by a group of people with differing opinions. There is nothing contradictory or schizo about that.

I for one would appreciate it if folks didn't automatically lump us all together like that. It tends to breed so-called rebels that feel like they are bucking some sort of system where there is none.

From my powers of deduction, it seems the problem is that Ms. Heigl has hardly shown herself to be worth such a substantial pay, especially considering that 1) she doesn't have a role that demands that much commitment and 2) the other stars (namely the ones who have proven themselves in the box office: Roberts, Hathaway, and MacLaine) didn't ask for as much. She also hasn't done herself any favors with the....for lack of a better term, ill-considered statements she has made on past projects.

Simply put, she seems to be too much risk for that much reward. Yeah, the movie may be lousy, but even lousy movies don't have to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

That should answer your query, Genny. It is either that, or they just don't want her working anymore.

V, I can kinda see that, but per my imdb research Heigl was already down to 50% what she's been making with that offer. I'm betting they approached her before they secured a couple of the other stars, but with the names they had when she came back with the $3 mill number they were like "you know what, thanks but no thanks".

Or I could be wrong and she could be a totally horrible person. Whatever.

I still don't hate her. I just don't care. Donald Trump is still much more deserving of contempt than pretty much anyone in Hollywood.

Katherine Heigl would have to demand $3 million for footage of herself taking a big, steaming dump to be anywhere near the most assholish person in America. She may get there one day, she's still young, but she's not there yet.

Everyone on any "reality" show is more of an affront to our sensibilities than Heigl has ever been so far. Hell, Oprah is more guilty of it than Heigl is.

Children, children, play nice. Just remember Pajiba's motto: Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People.

Me, I kind of like Heigl in the things I've seen her in. I quit watching Gray's because of the stupid thing with Dead Denny, but she didn't write that. Smoking? I smoked 3 packs a day for 20 yeats before I quit. None of you smoke? Really?

I have been on the fringes of showbizness for 40 years now, (community theatre, opera choruses), and I can't even begin to imagine life with the paps clicking away every time I left the house.

I'm willing to give her a break. However if any of you feel particularly bitchy, knock yourselves out.

Whew, calm down. Tiny phrase. Little comment. Internet board. No big deal.

I am sorry for that, but it just irritates me when folks start referring to the entire site as one entity, as if we can't contradict and conflict with each other. I really didn't mean to direct that at you.

What admin said.

She's just another pretty, marginally talented, thinks too highly of herself Hollywood spoiled hag.

Why is Heigl the breakout star of Grey's Anatomy anyway? Can't we write a letter and make that brunette actress who played the semi-lesbi doctor lady be more famouser? I think her character's name is Callie?

Yeah. She's dead sexy. Why not her instead? It'd save us a lot of argumentation.

While Heigl is allowed to negotiate her contract, I don't think she deserves it simply because she's not a great actress. She's mediocre at best.

I can live with the Isaiah Washington comments she made and her lousy films, but she lost any respect from me with that crack about the writing being lousy on Grey's; which is why she turned down the Emmy nod. It was tacky, and a cheap shot to make. And as as we have seen from the ridiculous plots they've given her, never screw with the people who write your lines.

Why Do Mommy and Daddy, THANK YOU for acknowledging the awesomeness that is Sara Ramirez. Her character is much more interesting than Heigel's. Plus she won a Tony for her role as the Lady of the Lake in Spamalot
