Katie Heigl does not fuck around, people! I posted earlier today about my disappoint with Julia Robert's upcoming return to the screen. Interestingly enough, there was a quote in the article I cited from (The New York Times, bitches) regarding an "anonymous source" who said most industry-types desperately want Heigl to succeed Roberts as the queen of romantic comedies - though no actress has been able to step up to the plate as far as earning returns for investors. Specifically:["Nobody has stepped into the vacuum," says one female producer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in hopes of being able to cast the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Amy Adams and Scarlett Johanson in the future. ... "Right now, people are desperate for their heir apparent to be Katherine Heigl," said the same producer of the 30 year-old actress.]
Well, Heigl heard you! She's officially quit the flailing "Grey's Anatomy", which will leave her free for a gloves-off box office rumble with the notoriously crabby Roberts. It's ON! I hope her departure helps with my bid for ABC to dump "Grey's" and put "Ugly Betty" in their time slot...
