    Whatever. Heigl is gorgeous. After all, it's only what you look like that's important (according to Hollyweird). Her head could be completely empty for all I care.

    @ginger rant: ...that she chose to be in it knowing full well what the story was, improvised a huge portion of her "misogynist" "shrill" behavior by all accounts (including hers), and has made an entire movie career out of being in far, far, far less women-positive movies than "Knocked Up".

    Hope that helps. And I like her and think she gets an unfair shake most of the time.

    @ginger rant: The problem is that she was in the movie and took millions of dollars for it. It's a seriously bitch move to trash a project that other people worked hard on and took pride in after you've already benefited from it instead of taking a stand from the start by refusing to be in it. Combination of hypocrisy and biting the hand that feeds...exactly the same bad behavior combo she exhibited against Grey's Anatomy.

    @allyzay: That's probably fair. I mean, I know nothing about her and her other career choices, but I don't think she owes tight-lippedness to the (critically and commercially successful) product, and she should feel free to criticize it for having a quality that might not have been as apparent or overt in the original script she read. (Happens all the time, of course: scripts evolve. Maybe that was what happened here?) In fact, I admire any actor who isn't so chickenshit that they are willing to take a principled, potentially career-killing stance against a piece of work that they appeared in. Hence I have to give Heigl props for sticking her neck out. I mean, she's not so naive as to think that it can be GOOD for her career to play the feminazi card.

    You know, the more I think about it, the more I like her ...

    @resipsaloquacious: If Heigl hadn't taken the role in the first place, who would listen to her rants about the role? It would come off as sour grapes that she didn't get the role. She certainly has been gnawing off the hands (and arms) that feed her, but maybe this is the only way to be heard.

    @ginger rant: My two cents is...if all these women Heigl, Megan Fox, Scarlet Johansson, really want to take a stand against misogynist movies than there's a way to do this...stop acting in Hollywood mass produced, big budget schlock. And turn your attention to the indies, art films, and often overlooked real cinema. Say yes to a couple small films with interesting real people at the center and not caricatures.

    The problem is there's no money in it, so they do them rarely, and then complain about their bread and butter films making them into stereotypes. But they also know that if they turn down the ass roles, the screaming banshee roles, or the dimbulb blonde slut roles (Really, Johansson? In a movie about supposed female empowerment, sort of, He's Not That Into You you play the skank, yeah, you did.) there are tons of girls waiting in the wings to take those places. It's all about the kind of actor you want to be. Just because Julia Roberts played a hooker once and won an Oscar (after ten years of distancing herself from the role, to yes, win an Oscar because she wore tight clothes and was a bit of a shrew. *sigh*) doesn't mean it'll happen to you. Or maybe it will. The hell?

    Wait, wait, there's Cate Blanchett, scrap the Julia Roberts thing!

    @ginger rant: For me, it's simple: I don't see her taking a stand against the gender politics of 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth, both of which make Knocked Up look like A Doll's House by comparison. What's that? She earned $300 grand for Knocked Up versus $6 million for her next two films? Well, never mind then.

    @ginger rant: Katherine Heigl's career choices make it quite apparent that she is not particularly concerned about misogyny, or about choosing roles that are empowering for women. I think it's pretty obvious that she only threw out the misogyny accusation because she resented the fact that her character was less fun and funny than the male characters in Knocked Up.

    I also think that Seth Rogan and Judd Apatow have yet to fully comprehend the reasoning behind the accusations of sexism that have been lobbed in their direction so many times. I'm disappointed that they still don't get it. It isn't about putting women on a pedestal, it's about writing female characters who are just as human and complex and interesting as male characters.

    @ginger rant: My favorite accusation against the movie Knocked Up is that it's sexist because it shows a portrayal of a woman who would choose not to have an abortion and would attempt to reconcile with the father, even though she is not naturally attracted to him.

    I mean, we all know that women who chose to not get abortions are all super right wing, Bible thumping conservatives, right? How dare they not play to our expectations!

    I seriously don't get why this is a rallying point, and not a show like Entourage where woman after woman is shown falling head over heals for men because of fame/power and even sleeping with the short, fat one at some vain hope of being near stardom.

    That's perfectly okay, but a movie where a man has to learn to treat a woman not as the sexual object he first thought of her as, but finds himself supporting her even though there is (potentially, though we all know not plotwise) little chance of her taking him back?

    Soooooo sexist.

    @Superawesomerad: I'd also like to point out that Katherine Heigl was the Executive Producer of The Ugly Truth...so she can't go back and complain about the script - she probably had final sign-off on it.

    She's lost any credibility with me when she talks about sexism.
