Seriously, it’s not like Katherine Heigl is physically unattractive. What I know about her personality makes her less attractive, of course, but it also seems like Katherine Heigl just has no clue what to do with herself on red carpets lately. “Lately” being over the past year, year and a half. At one time, I really thought she was going to be a fashion girl. I thought she was going to work on her style and be into the whole thing. That fell apart. Now, she has the potential to be a very pretty woman. And it’s not even that I hate this dress that Dame Heigl wore to the premiere of her film, Life As We Know It – I just hate it on her. I think it’s this weird shade of blonde that is throwing everything off, right? Sigh…
Anyway, Katherine is no longer a fashion girl. She’s now billing herself as a Super-Mom, taking a page out of Jennifer Garner’s book. When the going gets tough, the tough talks diapers.
Paging Katherine Heigl for diaper duty! The former Grey’s Anatomy star and proud mama to daughter Naleigh is an expert when it comes to changing the dirty diapers.
“I’m a pro now. I can get it done real quick,” Heigl told PEOPLE at the New York press conference of Life As We Know It on Saturday.
“I am very particular with these sorts of things. I want everyone — like my husband [Josh Kelley] and the nanny — to do it exactly the way I do it. Using just the right diaper cream because I swear that’s what helps her, and the right kind of wipes and diapers — so I prefer to do it myself.”
She adds: “It’s very apparent that I’m kind of a control freak. So it’s better if I do it myself!”
But Heigl’s do-it-yourself mentality got her in deep doo-doo on her Sept. 24 flight from Los Angeles to New York.
“They didn’t have those fold down tables to change her on and it’s just a tiny little bathroom stall. I couldn’t put her on the floor so I had to jam her head in the corner and lay her across the toilet and kneel below her. It was brutal,” she recalls.
“The whole part of the plane smelled badly. In the beginning when they are little, it’s not that bad. It’s pretty tame. She’s almost two, she really needs to get potty trained because this is grown-up kind of poop. Now I’m so committed to potty training. I’m going to make this happen!”
One parenting tip that Heigl, 31, learned from mom Nancy is to utilize white noise to help Naleigh to fall asleep.
“We use a big standing fan. We put it on high wattage to drown out everything,” she explains. “Her bedroom is right over the kitchen and living room area so you can really hear us down there when we are up watching TV. My mother taught me that. She said she used to leave a vacuum running in the baby’s room and it really works. There’s something about white noise. I’m a big believer in it.”

I’ll admit it, I didn’t even read that. I skimmed it and saw that Heigl was talking about poop and I just kept on going. I know my advice to Heigl included more baby stuff (it makes her more accessible and less of a bitch), but easy on the poop talk, for real.
Katherine also trotted out her long-suffering husband Joshua for the premiere. They made out for the cameras like circus performers! I love how poor Joshua is kissing Dame Heigl’s teeth, I really do.

Apparently she realized her hair shade mistake in the bottom pic.
That, or the weird faces she makes.
I feel so sorry for her hubby, poor guy. Dame’s hair color is driving me crazy it washes her out. Yikes!
Honestly, that hair! What hair salon let her out looking like that? I had a better blond shade when I died my bangs myself in a college dorm bathroom. There is no defense of that dye job. If you ask me, it’s a grosser hair offense than Britney’s tragic weave. OK, maybe not that bad, but I do consider it on the same level, in that I have several friends that do hair, and none of them would let any client walk out looking like that.
That hair color is horrendous.
I expect there is a shopping list of the specific products she wants bought so why would there be any screw ups with her husband or nanny using some other brands? Oh Josh, you rebel. Diapering the baby with Pampers instead of Huggies just to piss the wife off. And really there isn’t that many different ways to put a diaper on that poor drama queen Katherine needs to do it herself to make sure it’s done right.
That hair color has to go. She looks so much better as a brunette. And I hate myself for saying this but man I wanna see that movie.
She’s got weird toes.
The hair is too blonde and not good..but if you don’t think she looks gorgeous then you are completely blinkered. She looks fantastic. The dress, shoes etc are all great. Also you dont know crap about her personality – you just write what you want because thats what you do and you have to make it bitchy 🙂 The sad thing with Heigl is the girl is genuinely really really nice and very friendly – and the rap she has is just completely different to person.
Minus the hair color i think she looks lovely.
She has zero interest for me. Make that negative interest, I would go out of my way to NOT see anything she has participated in.
i like her better as a brunette.
@Marianne, she looks fine… for a 50 year old. Seriously, that dress is 25 years too old for her. It’s a pretty color but it is DOWDY. It looks like a bridesmaid dress that you’d hate your friend the bride over forever. AND it’s showing her pantylines. I’ll give you the shoes; they don’t do it for me but if you like them, all good.
But the whole point of this post is that whatever one may think of this woman’s personality, she IS a beautiful woman – a beautiful woman who is apparently compelled to convince us otherwise at every turn.
The blonde is so so bad.
I have naturally dark brown hair and I dyed it blonde for 8 years or so. I always did it myself and sometimes switched up the dyes I would use. Anyway, every once in a while it would come out like THIS-this awful, yellow-y blonde. I would then have to RE-deposit a new blonde to cover it up. *sigh* Needless to say, this took a major toll on my hair. Anyway, this is what it looks like to me-she had dyed her hair a really dark shade that was pretty much impossible to lighten. She used a super-blonde lifting color that essentially strips the brown/black out of the hair but she never redeposited a nice blonde shade. I’m no hairdresser so this is purely speculation…
PS- My hair is brown now and currently “recovering” 🙂
That Lea girl from Glee should take note at what happens when an overinflated ego is felt by your audience!
I don’t think the yellow-blond is the best shade for her, but over-all she looks fine. If her goal was to just dress decently for the premier rather than try to impress everyone by being a fashion diva, then she succeed. It looks “ok.”
Um, I can’t believe I am saying this but she looks fabulous!
What an ugly shade of yellow. Its not blonde, it looks like Lady Gaga’s yellow hair tint.
ITA, the horrible shade of yellow her hair has been colored is doing her no favors.
Her colorist should be fired our at the very least sent back to beauty school. LOL.
I love her look; the color and fit of the dress, her clutch and shoes are perfect and she looks gorgeous.
She urks me. She’s just annoying. and she looks 40.
@Marianne- LMAO!
I am surprise that she has left it this blown out blonde shade. Then again maybe she loves it.
But her roots are way lighter than her ends.
Which makes me wonder if she did it herself in the bathroom with a box of Clariol. 🙂
As for the strappy sandals. No one can have pretty toes… when they are desperately trying to keep your foot in a shoe.
It seems to become a permanent look. Toes all jammed up trying to keep your foot in the shoe. I rather go with comfort over a silly strappy shoe that makes my toes look ugly.
That shade of YELLOW blonde is f*cking terrible. Get it color corrected, already.
definitely Big Bird yellow hair…
her hair is the color of pee!
I like the dress and think she look pretty in it. It’s the hair color that looks horrible.
Her husband is pretty handsome.
she looks a state and needs a new hairdresser and stylist asap!
she wrecked her career by leaving greys anatomy-now she’ll just be jennifer anniston the second, starring in run of the mill rom-coms.. still the money seems to be good!
She said in an interview once that she doesn’t aspire to be a great dramatic actress, that she’s happy with the fluffy rom-com roles ‘cos she doesn’t think she has what it takes to do strong female characters in critically acclaimed films.
So it seems like she knows her limitations and is happy to make a living doing what she’s good at.
Horrid hair colour, tacky looking dress (albeit in a nice shade)…she’s attractive, it doesn’t have to be like this.
I still think she looks like Britney Spears, facially.
Her movies look like such garbage. That baby poop bit in the trailer is disgusting.
@ Kitten – yes totally agree – did the same thing, been back to brunette for maybe a year and its slowly getting nice again, although I doubt it will ever be as think / glossy as before I did years of abuse to it.
I am no means a Heigl hater – but she seems to struggle being genuine, either that or she is just annoying ny nature. I guess we cant all be the same right?
The dress is OK, a bit Christmas present-y for me, but not terrible. Her hair on the other hand, holy crap. Fix it, woman!
Somehow I imagine being her nanny is not the easiest job…
I think she looks amazing in that over-the-shoulder shot. But yes, that hair color is *not* doing her any favors.
I think her bitchy rep got started after Knocked Up, when she made a comment in an interview about how she found parts of the movie less than funny because it basically made the women into shrewish meanies and the men into loveable doofs.
Okay, so I just googled the quote: Heigl called the movie
“a little sexist. It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. … I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy?”
Honestly, it was all because of that quote that this Heigl is a bitch thing started. Why does that comment–which is totally true of all the Apatow movies, btw–give her a bad attitude? To me, it just shows that she has half a brain. I like her. Now if she’d only dial down that awful blonde!
So I have to say I actually love that dress. It would actually I think look fine on her if it wasn’t for that hair color. She just went back to blond after being brunette for a while, so obviously her stylist effed it up. I hate the shoes as well. With that dress, you kind of have to keep the shoes simple, but I hate them anyway.
I do love Josh Kelley though. I think they make a cute coouple.
I love her as a blond!!! I really do and as a matter of fact, I think she looks great!
Yes, that hair color is awful she should go for a dirty blonde. The dress however is beautiful and the shoes are too but her second toe is hanging out, a half size bigger shoe would look better.
Her hair and eyebrow color are soooooo bad.
She must have done the peroxide in the bathroom too, with a do-it-yourself kit from the next door pharmacy.
I think she told the hairdresser “You damn you!!You ruined my day!!!!”
And the hairdresser sair “Don’t worry I will make an up-do and no one is gonna notice the bad hair!!!:D
Lindy, I think the problem is that’s just one of several comments, where she’s biting the hand that feeds her. She complained about her hours on Grey’s, complained about having to do physical stuff in an action movie, etc, etc, etc.
As far as her comments on Knocked Up – she may have a point, but then she later went and produced and starred in the Ugly Truth (awful movie), where her character was…a total uptight shrew, the very thing she complained about in the other film.
This current movie looks kind of cute, but completely predictable. I saw the trailer in the theater, and basically feel like I saw the whole film already.
@Lindy: A lot of things have happened in the intervening three years that bring that moment into context. It’s just that no one cares these days.
The hair color might be for a movie role ( I hope) Other than that she looks beautiful.
Probably she has personality issues and she thinks she’s the second coming of Gaga, because no-one can seriously dye the hair pee yellow.
I like the tin foil reddish-purple dress, tho.
I think they showed her the rest of the pics in the last shot.
For the love of Pete, toner, woman! She needs a lot of toner and purple shampoo. But honestly, even those can only do so much since the bleach didn’t lift all the way and the colorist washed it out way too soon.
That hair is my worst nightmare.
Isn’t her hair color “Lady Gaga Yellow”?
