Although this rumor has surfaced once before, it seems Katherine Heigl is finally ready to leave Grey’s Anatomy.
The ABC show’s creator, Shonda Rimes, has agreed to release Katherine from her contract reports Entertainment Weekly. A final exit agreement however, still needs to be worked out.
Katherine had been on temporary leave from the show while she focused on her film career and newly-adopted daughter, Naleigh. She was expected to resume work on March 1 but never appeared in the studio on or after that date, reports EW.com.
The actress may in fact, end up not shooting anymore episodes. An ABC rep declined to comment.
It’s not like it wasn’t a long time coming though. Katherine has always had a rough relationship with the show. In 2008 if you recall, she pulled herself out of the running for the Emmys, complaining that she didn’t receive any “material…to warrant a nomination.”
Additionally, last summer, she told David Letterman that the “17-hour work day” on the show was “cruel and mean.”
We like Katherine, but seriously… what an ungrateful bitch.
The stars of the upcoming comedy Bounty Hunter, Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler have yet to confess to any romantic involvement. The movie’s director however admits the two are awfully good at faking it!
“When you have that chemistry [between actors] you’re like ‘Thank God!’ because they’re having fun on day 45 and day 65 and they’re still flirting,” director Andy Tennant tells Usmagazine.com.
“Gerry likes to have fun, Jen likes to have fun, they don’t take themselves seriously — which is a big mistake people assume with Jennifer, but she’s a riot!” Tennant continues. “So we went out [during filming] and had a good time.”
But what about the talk of Jen and Gerry hookups? Jen blames Gerry! “He starts those rumors! It’s his fault!” she told one reporter, laughing.
“Gerry is the best,” she added. “He’s funny and handsome. Nice combo!”
And Gerry chimed in too! “We have a natural chemistry. You can see it in our magazine shoot and the film, we have a great time together.”
In their new movie, the actors play ex-lovers reunited in a crime investigation. One GMTV interviewer asked Jen if she thought exes could get back together in real life.
“Absolutely!” She replied. “Sometimes you meet each other a time in your lives and you’re not necessarily ready…you’re not fully formed to have maturity it takes to be in a relationship…It’s not all black and white.”
Hmmm, maybe Gerry and Jen really aren’t together and this is her telling us of a potential reunion between her a Brad??!
On the most recent season of The Bachelor, Jake Pavelka couldn’t handle the stress of 15 women. Now, it seems like he’s bored with only one!
On January 13 at a Dallas Mavericks game, it appeared an attractive young lady caught the eye of Jake, after he had already proposed to Vienna.
An eyewitness at the game tells Us Weekly the naughty bachelor followed the woman from her seat to the concession stand.
To make matters worse, Jake took the girls hand “and said ‘You might have seen me on a TV show,’” the onlooker exclaims. “He said ‘I think you are so beautiful, and you shouldn’t be standing here alone.’”
But not to worry, Jake was turned-down as the woman in question was engaged to a buff-looking fellow who put a quick stop to his advances.
And while they appear to be SO in love while the cameras are rolling, multiple sources claim he’s not always so serious about his bride-to-be. “Everything he’s ever done has been with the goal of getting to the next level,” one source reveals.
Additionally, when the show first began filming Jake claimed to have no intention of marrying any of the bachelorettes. One source even reports that he told his then-girlfriend, Tanya Douglas, that his goal on the show was completely spiritual. “He told her he was going to lead 25 women to God,” the insider claims.
Ummm, WHAT?! That’s gotta be the strangest thing we’ve heard yet! Anyways, how can you feel so morally savvy when your an attempted adulterer? Come on Jake… get it together.
Kate Gosselin compares her current Hollywood lifestyle to that of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s!
Seriously Kate, you are NOT a Hollywood star. Get the f*ck over yourself!
Just three months after Kate and Jon Gosselin’s divorce was finalized, their eight children are now struggling with the fact that their mommy is 2,400 miles away for at least three days out of the week preparing for her upcoming stint on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.
In the new issue of Us Weekly a source confirms that Kate took a break from the kids from Feb. 21 to March 5 in order to train and promote for the show. The kids “were asking, ‘When is Mommy coming home’” an insider tells Us.
Kate’s absence has put her 9-year-old twin daughter’s down in the dumps while the little ones have begun to act out.
Twins Cara and Mady“seem depressed when Kate isn’t around,” a source explains, adding that five-year-old sons Aaden, Colin and Joel“got into trouble at school for talking back to teachers.”
Uh oh! Looks like they’ve been witnessing a little too much of Jon and Kate’s back-and-forth banters.
Unfortunately, Kate — who “wants to be a huge star” — doesn’t see anything wrong with taking a break to fulfill work responsibilities.
“She says Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have lots of kids and their parents are away for long periods, working to support them,” a family insider tells Us.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo has no gripes with MTV’s newest hit show, The Jersey Shore!
“They are young kids doing their thing,” Manzo told Usmagazine.com of Snooki and the gang during Wednesday’s Bravo Upfronts at New York’s Skylight Studios.
The 50-year-old housewife isn’t offended by their crazy antics, unruly behavior and intense fist pumping. Considering that the majority of the Jersey Shore cast members aren’t even from New Jersey, Manzo could give a shit because they really aren’t representing her community.
“Let them be kids and one day they’ll just look at it and realize,” she explains. “They are not from Jersey so I don’t care.”
While many Italian Americans and Jersey residents are outraged by the show, Manzo doesn’t see anything wrong with it because they’re not hurting anyone. Well, except Ronnie Margo, who threw a few too many punches at some Jersey Shore randoms during the first season of filming.
The Bravo star explains that it’s not just kids partying at the Jersey Shore who are acting out.
“There are clusters of kids like that,” Manzo told Us. “They are not hurting anybody. It’s their image — nobody else’s!”
We totally agree! If you don’t like the show and their crazy antics then simply change the channel!
Breaks off their client/manager relationship that is! After five years of managing Speidi, Montag has let Pratt go and hired Malibu based psychic Aiden Chase as her personal manager, the reality star tells People.
“After the incredible experiences I have had healing my life and truly connecting to my dreams with healer intuitive Aiden Chase, I have officially asked him to become my manager,” Montag says. “Having an intuitive psychic leading my team gives me an edge no one else has.”
“No longer is my husband the face of my business or managing my career,” she continues. “I am going to have Aiden Chase help manage my new life and career in a very different and positive way with light and love. The time for change is now. Never mix business and pleasure. We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi.”
Speidi is DUNZO?! That is like music to our ears!
Though King Spencer Pratt may no longer be handling his plastic wifey’s career, they remain happily married.
Montag explains that new manager Aiden Chase has helped to cleanse her soul and to think positive about life.
She has now “cleared all the negative energy in my life,” and has a lot to look forward to — including a Ron Howard related show businss project, a feature film comedy and will appear on The Tonight Show next week.
Sadly, we only see the talk-show appearance working out for her…
Well not exactly, but she’s crossing her fingers that it doesn’t happen that way!
During an event Wednesday hosted by Danielle Morano from Z100’s Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, Simpson performed Who We Are, the song she co-wrote for The Price of Beauty with rumored boyfriend Billy Corgan, and even took time for a little Q&A session.
Looking back at her past failed relationships, Simpson says she hopes to find true love again and live happily ever after.
“I hope I don’t die alone, that’s for damn sure,” she told the audience Wednesday at IHeartRadio presents An Evening with Jessica Simpson in Manhattan.
Putting Nick Lachey aside, J.Simp has a real knack for shacking up with some of the greatest douche bags… cough, cough Tony Romo and John Mayer!
Dating in the public eye has proven to be quite difficult for Jess as she’s practically set to walk down the altar with any guy she hangs out with.
“It does affect certain decisions. Like, I’d love to go out to dinner with certain people I’ve met but I can’t because everyone would be like, ‘Wow!!! They’re gonna get married!’”
While we NEVER imagined Jess to hook up with Billy Corgan, he seems like a genuine guy who’s not going to sex-and-tell.
Justin Timberlake took the phrase what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas a little too literally.
Timberlake was with his boys in Vegas partying till the early hours on the balcony of Tao nightclub, and though there were many women around, none of them were girlfriend Jessica Biel, RadarOnline.com reports.
Timberlake flirted the night away with hot girls that were following him around like a little puppy dog, but spent most of the night with two go-go dancers, one blond and one brunette.
He left without his friends around 2:30 a.m., but as it usually happens in Vegas, the night didn’t end there!
According to an eyewitness, Justin was seen bringing the two ho-bags up to his suite with a bottle of champagne, while Jessica remained on the East Coast, attending the premiere of her documentary, Summit on the Summit.
Sounds like Jessica needs to dump his sorry ass! He may be hot and rich but that usually coincides with being an asshole!
Corey Haim passed away on Wednesday at the early age of 38 ands follows a long list of celebrities that have died from troubles of dealing with fame.
Dr. Joseph Haraszti, a psychiatrist from California, spoke out about his unexpected death.
“They can’t handle the pressure. Everybody wants a piece of them. Society wants a piece of them. Everybody wants to meet them, wants their autograph, it can just be overwhelming,” he tells RadarOnline.com.
Haim was not a patient of Dr. Haraszti, but he explains it’s a typical situation that occurs with child stars.
“What I see as the common theme is they get all this adulation for their performance but they lose out on their childhood because often times they become the bread winners for their family. They don’t go to regular school, they didn’t go to the prom, and they didn’t go through the social angst. That is a tremendous loss. Someone who misses out on that is impaired. Then they try to make up for it as adults. They try to go back and have a childhood because they never had a childhood or adolescence. Then they go wild, sooner or later they turn to drugs because they just feel out of control, they can’t handle their anxiety,” he explains
Haim has struggled with addiction for years and has failed to learn from his numerous visits to rehab. His career had been at a standstill since his early childhood days, and Dr. Haraszti says this downward cycle for a has-been star can be tough.
“Once the music stops, then they feel a tremendous sense of inner emptiness, then they don’t have the skills emotionally and socially and interpersonally to reach out and to start a normal life. What they have experienced is not normal, they can’t redeem that. There are many younger stars who come along and take their place and they become has-beens and after a while people forget their names even.”
We think it’s a story told too many times in Hollywood and unfortunately it seems that friends and family could not help Corey.
“Too much money, too much fame, everything too soon just results in overwhelming problems,” Dr. Haraszti claims.
Though Renee Zellweger has been out of the Hollywood scene lately, she continues to give back to the common folk — particularly in Starbucks gift cards!
While the Chicago star was picking up some coffee in Santa Monica, Calif., a friendly stranger saw that her parking meter was about to run out!
The stranger added more change and bought Zellweger some extra time, according to RadarOnline.com.
How friendly of them! Lord knows if it were us we would’ve said too bad for her!
Renee was shocked by the kindness and paid him back with a $100 Starbucks gift card!
How fabulous! We go through $100 a week a Starbucks — so maybe we should wait around the meters and Renee will give us some loving as well!
