Katherine Heigl: I Left Grey’s for Family, not Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip,
Although many people assumed (like I still do) that Katherine Heigl chose to leave Grey’s Anatomy for the big screen, the actress says that simply isn’t true.
In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, Heigl claims that her early exit from the show - she cut her contract 18 months short - was prompted by the arrival of her adopted daughter, Naleigh. “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” Katherine stated. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”

Katherine Heigl Taking Break from Grey’s Anatomy
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip, Spoilers,
As we all know by know, T.R. Knight will not survive to see another season of Grey’s Anatomy while Katherine Heigl will. But that doesn’t mean the Ugly Truth actress won’t get a nice break from her awful 17-hour work days.
Although she was forced to stick by her contract (we all know she so wants to leave), Heigl is being granted a 5-episode leave from the series. Why? Because she needs to continue working on her big screen career. During her absence, Katherine will be busy filming Life as We Know It with Josh Duhamel (Las Vegas).
Heigl’s (temporary) departure will be explained on the show. You can see a promo for the upcoming season after the jump.

Heigl, Knight Reportedly Leaving Grey’s Anatomy
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Rumors,
UPDATE: When asked about the departures, Shonda Rhimes said “I’m not saying what’s going to happen on the show, but that is a rumor.”
Seattle Grace may be looking to hire two new surgeons next fall.
Over the weekend, actor James Pickens confirmed what many had already speculated: T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl will both be leaving Grey’s Anatomy. Pickens, who spoke to Us Weekly at a NAACP luncheon, said Knight’s decision to depart was simple. “He just wanted to pursue other career paths,” James explained.
And how will Pickens feel when Katherine finally works on movies full time? “Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best,” he claimed.
But was Dr. Richard Webber too quick to offer his well wishes?
While many believe T.R. and Katherine will eventually exit the program, many insiders assert that nothing has been made official. “There’s no way [Pickens] could know that, because nothing has been decided yet. Nothing has been written and [Heigl and Knight] are still working out what will happen next season with the network,” a source told E! Online.
Neither the network nor the actors’ reps have offered any comment on the rumors.

Even if Katherine Heigl was hoping to leave, it doesn’t sound like the network will be letting her go anytime soon.
Although the rising movie star irked many with her Emmy comments last month, ABC’s entertainment president Stephen McPherson says Heigl is “absolutely staying with the show.” This news comes days after rumors of a possible Izzie death started floating around. Word had it creator Shonda Rhimes was so irritated with the actress, she was considering all her options.

Grey’s Anatomy News: Katherine Heigl, Sandra Oh
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, News, Rumors,
In June, Katherine Heigl made a remark that was bound to anger some of her Grey’s Anatomy co-workers. When asked about the upcoming Emmys, last year’s winner said she didn’t submit an entry because she didn’t feel she was given worthy material.
And while some accused the rising movie star of purposely sparking the controversy (in an attempt to get out of her series contract), one of Katherine’s co-stars has just now spoken in her defense. At an engagement for the Hallmark Channel, Chandra Wilson (Dr. Miranda Bailey) said:
“All actors have to do that exactly same thing every year. The public at large doesn’t understand it’s not about your body of works. It can’t be something in the middle. You can have a great seasonal arc, but if you don’t have that show that’s your show, then it’s not the right thing for the category. It was amazing to me the way it got blown out of proportion. Some years I submit, some years I don’t.”
