Katherine Heigl, so likable for those precious few days after
Knocked Up, continues to encourage us to hate her. First the
Grey's Anatomy star publicly
criticized Knocked Up in a
Vanity Fair interview, saying that the film "paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight." Whether that's true or not (I think it might be), it read as pissy and ungrateful. It was an insight best left out of a national magazine. Then she
appeared to be a bossy and demanding friend in a video of her and bestie/
Grey's Anatomy costar T.R. Knight. And now the Emmy-winner has declined to enter herself in this year's Emmy race because she feels her material on
Grey's was just not up to snuff.

Times rich people beat reporter, billionaire-marrier, possible
orgy enthusiast, and over-sharing plastic surgery addict
Alex Kuczynski is expecting! Expecting a surrogate mother to carry and deliver her baby, that is,
according to Liz Smith. Alex and her ridiculously wealthy (and ripped) husband Charles Stevenson have reportedly tried "several times" at this child-having thing, to no avail. Stevenson has five children from other women, a set-up the Kucz has
commented on with approval on other occasions. (All you have to do is cheer them on at graduation—no weight gain or unseemly marks or scars!) So, we ask you, the Gawker readership: who on Earth is currently feeding and growing the spawn of the Amazing Plastic Woman?

"I think the characters [in '
Knocked Up'] are sexist at times, but it's really about immature people who are afraid of women and relationships and learn to grow up. If people say that the characters are sexist, I say, yeah, that's what I was going for in the first part of the movie, and then they change," director
Judd Apatow told
New York mag's
Vulture blog. Okay but that's kind of besides the point because 'Knocked Up,' is so fully sexist, not because its male characters say immature and demeaning things about women, but because all the women in it are portrayed as one-note, unfunny, vain, self-absorbed hormonal crazies. It's also a hilarious movie, so you know, whatever.

The celebrity nude scene website MrSkin.com has seen a bump in traffic since it was featured in
Knocked Up, and its CEO tells the
Times that "when he scanned subscribers' e-mail addresses, 'I see '.gov' and '.edus' all the time," the e-mail domains for governmental agencies and post-secondary schools. "But it is an R-rated site, not a porn site, so hopefully men aren't too embarrassed to tell their wives.'" [
