A few weeks ago, Katherine Heigl embarked upon a celebrity blog for iVillage with a rather frank essay on her struggles to identify both as a mother and an actress as well as why she prefers being a working mother. It was a pretty coherent and rather lucid essay, in which Heigl resisted the temptation of appearing preachy towards mothers who either elect to stay at hom with their children or have no choice whether or not to work. Yeah, Heigl’s got a nanny to help her out with the technicalities and early morning risings that motherhood demands; yet she was quick to point out that while her decision to continue acting (in crappy romcoms) might make her feel like a better mother, she understood that it’s not the best thing for every mother. She won many of you over with her thoughts, and I started to like her more too.

This week, Katherine tackles what I feel is an even touchier subject by giving her thoughts on marriage. Of course, she’s only been married to Josh Kelley for four years, but her thoughts are still relevant to the subject. It’s a rather lengthy essay, so I cut out some of the anthropological details about a South American civilization (which allows for four annual days of hedonism and adultery) that Katherine uses as an illustration how other cultures seek to prevent divorce. Basically, she takes a very monogamous stance on that example and then goes on to describe the difficulties she’s already experienced in her marriage:

Josh and I were recently asked at the American Music Awards how we make our marriage work in Hollywood. We answered the best we could but when the interview went live, we suddenly found ourselves to be the poster couple for successful marriages. My first thought was, “That’s a hell of a lot of pressure. We better make this work!” My second thought was, “What is my real answer to that question once given an opportunity to think about it?” The topic of relationships with a partner or spouse is a pretty relatable one, and it’s something people have been trying to figure out since the beginning of time.

I have no desire to physically hook up with any man other than my husband and have been a serial monogamist from the moment of my first serious relationship at 20. I have never been able to connect with a man sexually without it becoming emotional, without giving a piece of my heart and soul to that connection. I always loved the idea of Samantha on Sex and the City, but it just isn’t how I’m built. I understand that every human being on earth wonders if the grass might be greener in other pastures, but I could never imagine myself really going there or really wanting to. I guess the relationship I’m in is so consuming that the idea of a dalliance with another man sounds exhausting. It’s hard enough to make one connection work — I can’t imagine, even for four days, splitting myself between two!

What I took away from the story of the village was the idea of not taking your partner for granted. We all do and will throughout the course of our lives with each other — after all, that’s just human nature. But I wonder if being aware of it can help me to do it less. I very easily slip into negative patterns of nagging, bossing, frustration and miscommunication. Josh easily slips into negative patterns of not paying attention, work consumption, forgetfulness and miscommunication. When we start orbiting around each other in this way, it’s pretty easy to forget what the gravitational pull was that brought our planets into alignment was in the first place.

I’ve certainly had moments, as I’m sure Josh has, where I’ve asked myself if it’s really worth it. Is a great marriage really even possible? Do you just resign yourself to the idea of growing old with someone you don’t talk to anymore, share anything with but your children, and avoid like the plague? Yes, the giddy romance of first love fades but does love itself just wither away as if it’s a season coming to an end?

It would be preachy and naïve of me to tell you I have the answers to those questions. Josh and I have only been married four years and though that may seem record-breaking in Hollywood, we’re still considered newlyweds to the rest of the world. What I can tell you is that I was infatuated with this man the moment I met him. I was crazy about him three weeks later, and madly in love with him two more after that. More often than not he brings the best out of me and when he doesn’t, I tell him the truth about how he’s let me down and listen when he tells me the same. He makes me laugh like no one else, he makes me feel safer than I’ve ever felt, adored with abandon and when he doesn’t, I tell him how I feel ignored and listen when he tells me I’ve driven him away.

I have been drawn to this man like a bee to honey and I can’t quite explain it but I do know he’s worth it. We stand by each other, we respect each other’s thoughts, ideas, passions and fears. We compromise constantly for each other and change for each other when compromising isn’t the answer. We’ve had some pretty explosive fights over the years trying to make our marriage work, but it’s been worth it.

Okay, it’s really easy to read Katherine’s thoughts on marital squabbles as well as losing the initial butterflies of early relationship bliss and conclude that she must certainly be on her way to a split. Yet I don’t think that’s the case, for it sounds like she and Josh have figured out how to balance their differences and learn to communicate, which is generally be a neverending struggle for any couple whether they’re willing to accept the challenge or not.

I also truly appreciate that Katherine admits that her marriage isn’t without flaws. Once again, she’s not Gooping it up by claiming to be perfect and she’s not actively avoiding the issue like Sarah Jessica Parker (and her “splitting the atom of our marriage” talk) does. Instead, Katherine sounds like a real woman here, and Josh (from the outside anyway) seems like a pretty good husband to Katherine. They enjoy regular outings together, there are no whisperings of him cheating on her, and he seems to be really good at carrying her luggage and pushing a grocery cart. On that last point, I’m completely not knocking the guy either. My husband never did that.

In the past year or so, Katherine Heigl has taken a bit of a breather from the movie-churning machine and isn’t so “in our faces” at every moment. Sure, she’s preparing to ruin any and all of that good will next year with a terrible Stephanie Plum movie, but Heigl has been fairly lowkey other than that. Her only film this year is the upcoming New Year’s Eve, where she will likely be lost in an ensemble of horrific romcom clichéd proportions. I assume that this is the project that Heigl is seeking to promote with this mostly unfunny FunnyOrDie animal rights PSA, which features the acerbic actress taking a pro-neutering stance and then admitting that, ultimately, she really just hates balls:

She’s trying too hard, right? I appreciate that Heigl is willing to poke fun at her own extra-bitchy reputation, but just like most FunnyOrDie videos, the concept is dragged out in overdone capacity. However, it is mildly amusing that Heigl’s husband, Josh Kelley is a good enough sport to pop in at the end and ask his wife for his testicles for a boy’s night out. Presumably, the guy is very aware of his reputation as a third wheel to diva Katherine and her mother. It probably also doesn’t help matters that Josh is quite often photographed pushing a grocery cart around either. He must really love the hell out of grocery shopping:

In related Heigl news, her former Knocked Up co-star, Seth Rogen, has consciously decided that he has softened his view of Heigl and is not prepared to overlook the fact that she badmouthed the film that made her a star:

Way back in December of 2007, Katherine Heigl made a splash during an interview with Vanity Fair when she said that Knocked Up — the film she co-starred in the previous summer that vaulted her to the A-list — was “a little sexist.” Said Heigl about the Judd Apatow-directed comedy: “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy? Why is this how you’re portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie.” Four years later, Seth Rogen, Heigl’s Knocked Up co-star, has apparently finally forgiven the outspoken actress.

“I think that at the time I was offended about it, but since then … I mean, you do so much press that, odds are, you’re going to say something f&$%ing stupid every once in a while,” Rogen told Short List while doing press for 50/50. “Of the million things I say every day, 400 of them are stupid as hell. And any one of them might wind up in a newspaper or a magazine at any given time. So at this point I’m much more forgiving of that kind of thing.”

That’s a different tune for Rogen, who, two years ago — in an interview with Howard Stern — seemed far less forgiving of Heigl.

“I gotta say it’s not like we’re the only people she said some batsh-t crazy things about. That’s kind of her bag now,” Rogen said when confronted with her Vanity Fair comments. (Heigl, of course, said many outspoken things about ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ as well.) When Apatow, who was also appearing on Stern’s show, remarked that Heigl had likely been doing many interviews in a row and “slipped,” Rogen retorted, “I didn’t slip and I was doing f&#$ing interviews all day too … I didn’t say sh-t!”

Once again, Seth Rogen wins my hearts and mind with his words. The guy is just adorable, and he hasn’t lost any of his scruffy appeal by losing a bunch of weight either. In fact, he looks even more cuddly now:

This week’s National Enquirer, which had the scoop that Katherine Heigl was adopting back before she announced it, claims that she’s about to adopt another baby, at her husband Josh’s insistence. Katherine and Josh adopted a baby from South Korea in September of 2009. Their daughter Naleigh is now two and Josh wants to give her a brother or sister, because he thinks a new addition to their family “could be the answer to their problems.” At least a bandaid baby is the husband’s idea for once, not that it makes a difference:

“They want Naleigh to have a little brother or sister soon,” a longtime family friend told the Enquirer.

Josh, 31 – who has a new country album, “Georgia Clay” – recently told an interviewer that Naleigh “needs a buddy.”

And the source divulged: “Josh has talked Katherine into adopting another child. He believes this could be the answer to their problems.”

In recent months, the couple’s storybook marriage has been battered by articles alleging Katherine’s insecurities over her faltering career and interference from their families.

As the Enquirer recently reported, Josh complained that Katherine’s mom Nancy was spending so much time around them, it was smothering their marriage and ruining their love live…

“Their marriage has definitely been very rocky,” said the friend. “He acknowledged that their relationship could use a boost – and he thinks another child will be the solution.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 25, 2011]

It’s a pretty dumb idea to add another child to an already troubled marriage, and it won’t do much to keep Katherine’s mom from meddling in her relationship. It will add a lot of love and wonder as kids always do but it can also make things more hectic and stressful. Katherine admitted on Letterman that she and Josh argue over really stupid sh*t about caring for Naleigh, like what diapers and wipes they should use. She also said that “I think I’m a little bit of a control freak.” Oh yeah, a new baby is just what they need. That will solve everything.

There are photos of Katherine out with her mom yet again yesterday (below), the mom who is said to be smothering her daughter and her husband. You know that lady is going to be around even more if she gets another grandkid.

Am I the only one who consistently feels sorry for Josh Kelley? Like, whenever Katherine Heigl opens her big bitchy mouth, I think “Poor Josh.” Whenever I see photos of Heigl’s latest fashion and/or hair disaster, I think “Poor Josh.” And when I read this latest story – about Katherine and her BFF mom – I thought “Seriously, poor Josh.” You see, Katherine is a mother-lover. There’s nothing wrong with it, per se. I’m really close to my mom too, and we go shopping together and gossip and go to movies. Katherine has a similar relationship with her mom – only she takes to the next level, and it’s getting kind of creepy. It’s not just that Katherine’s mom Nancy is her BFF – Nancy is also Heigl’s manager and producing partner. And Nancy also lives a few seconds away from Josh and Katherine’s house. And Nancy spends the night at their house all the time. And Nancy won’t ever let her daughter and her husband be alone, EVER.

Katherine Heigl’s meddling mom is wrecking her marriage! Heigl’s husband Josh Kelley has complained that Heigl’s mom Nancy spends so much time at their LA home that it’s ruining their love life, sources say.

“Josh is a patient guy, but he’s fed up playing second fiddle to his mother-in-law,” an insider divulged. “Nancy lives around the corner from Katherine and Josh in her own place, but she spends so much time at their home that she may as well move in. She often stays overnight and knocks on their door pretty much every day she’s in town.”

Nancy even vacations with the couple, and Josh claims it’s hurting their romantic life, the source said.

“Josh told Katherine that they need more quality time together – without her mother,” says the insider. “He demanded Katherine spend more time with him and less with Nancy – period. He loves his mother-in-law, but this is a real problem for him and it’s becoming a major issue in their marriage.”

To make matters worse, Nancy is also her daughter’s manager, and has produced two of Heigl’s films.

“Katherine and Nancy aren’t just mom and daughter, or even best friends for that matter. They’re business partners who live and breathe every aspect of each other’s lives.”

The mother and daughter are so close they even got matching haircuts!

“It’s all too much for Josh… he’s become increasingly irritated by Nancy’s influence. Josh feels as if he’s married two women – Katherine and her mom.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

I think it’s probably a particularly touchy subject considering that Katherine and Nancy don’t have even a typically tight mother-daughter relationship/friendship. They’re business partners, and Nancy has a vested interest in Katherine financially. I’ve felt for a long time that Katherine and Nancy need to part ways professionally – Nancy is not helping Katherine’s career, at all. Heigl needs a team of professionals, she needs to be represented by someone who has the balls to tell her to STFU and BE a professional. Nancy is obviously not doing that.

But… I doubt Nancy and Katherine are going to part financially any time soon, so in the meantime, POOR JOSH.

I’ve been shocked by the many, many television ads for Katherine Heigl’s new film, Life As We Know It. It looks like a pretty generic romance/baby comedy, and it looks crazy stupid. But Katherine is trying to regain that “The Next America’s Sweetheart” mantle that she tossed away with her big mouth and bitchy attitude. This is the new and improved Dame Heigl! She loves babies. That’s pretty much it. The only difference between the old, nasty, unprofessional Heigl and the new Heigl is that the new one is all about her baby. Below are Us Weekly’s excerpts from Katherine’s November cover profile for Redbook (Redbook’s excerpts here), and you can see that the old nastiness is still fighting to get out:

One of Katherine Heigl’s many surprises of parenthood? Watching her husband Josh Kelley become a hands-on dad to adopted daughter Naleigh, 22 months.

“He’s a great dad. I didn’t expect it,” Heigl, 31, admits of singer Kelley, 30, in the November issue of Redbook magazine.

“He’s such a guy,” the Life As We Know It star explains of her spouse of nearly three years. “I adore him, I can’t imagine being with another man, but he can be very self-absorbed.”

Ouch! Heigl clarifies: “Not in an egomaniacal way, just kind of in his own head and unfocused on anything other than his own stuff. So I was really surprised by how on top of it and how connected he is.”

As for baby number two, the couple may indeed adopt again. “We still talk about having biological children as well. I’m not ruling anything out,” she says. But, she explains, “adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start.”

(Before the actress was born, her parents adopted her older sister Meg in South Korea — Naleigh’s native country.)

Naleigh’s adoption came through just as Heigl began filming Life As We Know It with Josh Duhamel. The time was “a complete blur,” she says. “I had just become a mom….I was all over the place. I was really trying too hard. I was completely bonkers.”

“If I spread myself too thin,” she adds, “I’m not a good actor, I’m not a good mother, and I’m just really high-strung-—and everybody hates me.”

[From Us Weekly]

Yes, Joshua is the self-absorbed one. Right. That’s why Katherine seems to signal in every interview, “IT’S ALL ABOUT ME!!!” Poor Joshua. I always feel like that guy deserves a medal. At least Katherine acknowledges that “everybody hates” her. Except that it feels like she’s just saying that so we’ll say “Oh, no, not EVERYBODY.” And no one does. Because we’re all thinking, “Yeah, she nailed that one.”

Also – a few days ago, Evil Beet covered Dame Heigl’s recent New York Times interview, and it’s the same kind of self-pitying, “everybody hates me” stuff. Evil Beet points out that in Katherine’s mind, she shouldn’t get labeled as an unprofessional bitch because she’s “just being honest” and she’s “forthright in her opinions.” Does she really not see it? We get that Dame Heigl is being honest and that those are her honest opinions. And we think that she’s honestly an ungrateful, unprofessional bitch.

Actress Katherine Heigl, 30, and her husband of two years in December, Josh Kelley, 29, have adopted a special needs daughter from South Korea, little Naleigh, 10 months. Instead of selling the photos to a magazine, they released the photos themselves on the website for the animal foundation Katherine founded with her mother, the “Jason Debus Heigl Foundation.” It’s named after Katherine’s late older brother Jason, who died in a car accident at the age of 15 in 1986. Katherine’s charity runs a special ranch for dogs in which they rescue and re-train “medium to large dogs from high-kill shelters throughout Southern California.”

On the website for Katherine’s foundation, she explains that Naleigh is a nickname for the baby’s full name, Nancy Lee, which is a mix of her mother’s name, Nancy, and her adopted sister’s middle name, Margaret Leigh. Margaret is also from Korea and Katherine once said that adoption is something she’s “always planned.”

Meet Katherine Heigl’s new baby, Naleigh.

The Grey’s Anatomy actress and husband Josh Kelley have released the first photos of their daughter, a special-needs child they adopted from South Korea, on Heigl’s fundraising site.

“She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign,” Heigl, 30, said when announcing the news of her adoption on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week.

In addition to four intimate photos of the family, the site explains that Naleigh is just a nickname for Nancy Leigh – named after Heigl’s mother Nancy and Heigl’s sister Margaret Leigh.

[From People]

Kaiser wondered in our last story on Naleigh – is it pronounced “Naw-Lee” or “Neigh-Lee”? Heigl said on Ellen that her name will be pronounced like “Neigh-Lee” and that she first saw photos of her six months ago and had not yet met Naleigh at that point. She said that normally the process of adopting from South Korea takes much longer, but that her daughter has special needs and that “because of that, it all moved so much faster. They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible.”

Katherine Heigl is not my favorite person and I generally find her insufferable, it’s something I just can’t not mention when talking about her, but this is a very wonderful thing she’s doing and she’ll make all the difference in that little girl’s life. She also deserves a lot of credit for releasing the photos on the website for her charity. Best wishes to Katherine, Josh and little Naleigh. These photos are just adorable.

Here is Katherine’s adoption announcement on Ellen last week:

In a lovely piece of “Stealing Ellen Pompeo’s Thunder” News, sources close to Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley condirmed to Radar and now People that the couple is just days away from finalizing an adoption. Radar reports that Josh and Katherine will be adopting a baby girl from South Korea named Nayleigh, nicknamed Leigh. I love the name Leigh – it’s always seemed to me a very Southern name, and a lot Southern girls have “Leigh” as their middle name. Sandra Leigh, Jennifer Leigh, Grace Leigh, Georgia Leigh, you get the picture. All that being said, I find the name Nayleigh very strange. I’m trying to say it out loud, and it just comes out like I’m a drunk Southerner: Is it pronounced “Naw-Lee” or “Neigh-Lee”?

Katherine Heigl is adopting a baby this week, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. The Grey’s Anatomy star is becoming a mom to a baby girl, sources told RadarOnline.com.

Heigl and husband Josh Kelley have wanted a baby for a long time, the source said, and the adoption process has been in the works for at least six months.

The baby is from Korea. Her full name is Nayleigh and her nickname will be Leigh, RadarOnline.com learned. The baby is approximately 10 months old.

“She is thrilled,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “She and Josh are so happy.”

The idea of adoption is nothing new for the actress, as she told USA Today two years that it’s something she’s “always planned.”

“I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children,” Heigl said.

“[It] doesn’t seem like any fun. I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all of that.”

Heigl’s own sister Meg is adopted from Korea. Heigl is on leave of absence from “Grey’s” and starts filming the big-screen feature Life As We Know It next week.

Katherine also recently hosted costar Ellen Pompeo’s bridal shower. Heigl and Kelley married on December 27, 2007 in Park City, Utah.

[From Radar Online]

Katherine has an adopted sister, Meg, originally from Korea, and Katherine has said before that she feels very strongly pro-adoption. So pro-adoption, at one point last year she seemed very anti-biological children in total, saying “I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. [Giving birth] doesn’t seem like any fun. I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all of that.” Just last month while Katherine was promoting The Ugly Truth, she was asked again about getting pregnant, and she said “One day, sure. But pregnancy scares me. I know I’ll be one of those women who looks pregnant all over the body. I’ll get fatter and fatter from my toes up.”

There were even rumors last year that Katherine was on the verge of adopting from South Korea, but I guess they decided to wait. I was looking up South Korean adoption laws, and I found out something interesting – according to the International Adoption Guidebook, South Korean guidelines include: “Couples aged 25 to 44 years old who have been married at least three years may adopt. There must be no more than one divorce in each parent’s past. Single parents may not adopt from South Korea.” Katherine and Josh have only been married for about 20 months… so, maybe they got some kind of waiver or something. I’m sure they make exceptions.

Last week ABC announced that Katherine Heigl would be taking a temporary five-week leave of absence from Grey’s Anatomy. Dame Heigl is deigning to grace a film with her presence, you see, so her Grey’s character is leaving for a short while. While we all assumed there was a great “Hallelujah” on the set of Grey’s, it’s now being confirmed by sources to Betty Confidential. Sources are claiming that after Heigl’s diva behavior (like her disrespectful comments about the Grey’s crew while appearing on The Late Show) have earned her nothing but scorn on the set of the ABC hit show. The cast is “ecstatic” that Dame Heigl will be leaving for any period of time. Sources also claim that Heigl “grates on the nerves” of the ABC studio bosses – one of whom called Heigl’s attitutde “unfortunate” after the Letterman incident. Don’t you feel for Dame Heigl’s husband Josh Kelley? Well, they’ve got the scoop on Josh too!

The set of Grey’s Anatomy is about to get a lot more chilled out. Katherine Heigl is taking a leave of absence from the hit show for five weeks to shoot a movie and there are some in the cast and crew who are happy to see her go.

Katherine will begin filming the romantic comedy Life As We Know It this month, and an insider tells BettyConfidential that certain cast members are “ecstatic” that she will be gone for more than a month.

“To say they’re breathing a sigh of relief is a nice way to put it,” the insider says. “They even hope that filming on the set of her movie is delayed so she misses more time.”

It seems Katherine, who has a reputation for shooting off her mouth, has been rubbing people the wrong way since filming began on season six of Grey’s Anatomy.

“Because her last film The Ugly Truth was such a big hit and she’s expecting her upcoming film, Five Killers [with Ashton Kutcher], to be just as big, she’s been rattling cages,” says an insider.

The source tells BettyConfidential that after her best friend T.R. Knight left the show last season, “Katherine’s co-stars expected her to be humbler and easier to deal with, but instead she began complaining from the start.”

Back in July, she moaned to David Letterman about having to work super-long hours on the set. “Our first day back was Wednesday and it was – I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them – a 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean.”

What she didn’t reveal was that the extended hours were scheduled to accommodate Katherine, so that she could take time off to promote a film. When Letterman asked her how much longer she was going to be on the show, Katherine replied, “Yeah, that’s what I keep wondering.”

But it’s not just the hours that she’s been whining about, according to the insider, Katherine was also complaining about the scripts not focusing enough on her.

“She wants the same attention that Patrick Dempsey gets in storylines, but while he schmoozes the bosses, she grates on their nerves.”

But there’s at least one person on Katherine’s side: her husband, singer Josh Kelley. When Katherine shoots off her mouth, Josh is the one who works hard to smooth things over. “Josh knows her better than anyone and can talk to her,” the insider says.

“Sometimes, Katherine thinks she’s being funny, but Josh will tell her she needs to curb her tongue.”

But it seems that a lot of the time Josh’s calming words seem to fall on deaf ears. Might we suggest a gag next time?

The insider says that Katherine has changed a lot since she joined Grey’s Anatomy back in 2005. “When Katherine first joined the show, she was a breath of fresh air,” says the insider. ‘’But by season three, she got a little too comfortable and had an opinion on everything.”

While Katherine does have some friends on the set – she recently held a baby shower for mom-to-be Ellen Pompeo – others think that considering she annoyed ABC’s entertainment president with her complaints on Letterman, she’s fortunate to still have a job on the show. “She’s lucky the show is letting her off for a month and even luckier that they are letting her come back,” the insider says. “Everyone will be a lot more relaxed on the set without her here. There won’t be as much tension.”

[From Betty Confidential]

I can’t believe Josh has the nerve to tell Dame Heigl to “curb her tongue”. Doesn’t this peasant know who she is?!? I actually find that the least believable part of the story – that Josh would at any time show a little spine, or say anything to rouse the Anger Bear Heigl. He wouldn’t dare. Heigl would cut him. And burn him with her cigarettes.

Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have a sort of famously dysfunctional marriage. Katherine told Oprah as much when she admitted that though she and Josh had been together for several years, they didn’t really know each other, and would likely break up if they had to spend two weeks together without interruption. This was really nothing new – in interviews, Katherine has no qualms about telling all how she wears the pants in the relationship, she controls where they’re going, what they do and how they do it. In my mind, the only thing worse than being married to Josh Kelley is being married to Katherine Heigl. Actually, when put in that kind of side-by-side comparison, Josh Kelley seems like a pretty decent guy who just had the misfortune of being systematically emasculated by Heigl. In this episode of Katherine Heigl is Queen of All, Heigl explains how difficult it is for Josh to see her kissing other men on screen. But instead of being understanding about it, Heigl threatens poor little Josh by saying, “’It’s my job, and if I feel uncomfortable doing my job, and it suffers because of it, I’ll kill you.” She truly is America’s Sweetheart.

Katherine Heigl’s husband gets jealous when she kisses her co-stars. The 30-year-old actress has revealed musician Josh Kelley hated watching her sexy scenes with Gerard Butler in upcoming film The Ugly Truth.

When asked if Josh was comfortable with her getting intimate with the Scottish actor, Katherine said: “No, not really. It’s not his favourite part of the profession but I told him, ‘It’s my job, and if I feel uncomfortable doing my job, and it suffers because of it, I’ll kill you.”

This is not the first time Katherine and Josh have had disagreements.

When they first moved in together, the couple argued constantly.

Katherine explained to Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: “Josh and I didn’t live together before we were married because I wanted to hang on to those last days of my single-girl pad as long as I could.

“I’m not going to lie – it was rough when we finally moved in together. It’s the simple stuff everyone talks about. I like things neat, he leaves things everywhere.”

But no matter how angry Josh gets, Katherine says she is “not ready” to stop doing romantic comedies.

She explained: “I know I’m catching some crap for only doing romcoms, but I really like doing them. People keep asking me if I want to do anything more serious, or Oscar-worthy, and I do, but I’m not quite there yet.

“I did a lot of heavy stuff in Grey’s Anatomy. My mother went through breast cancer 12 years ago and it brought a lot of that back. I don’t want to do that 24/7″.

[From News 24]

Sure, she could do Oscar-bait, but she doesn’t feel like it, okay? Because she’s Dame Heigl, and her only interest at the moment is to do romantic comedies. I wonder if Josh was really jealous of Heigl’s The Ugly Truth co-star Gerard Butler. Or did Josh send Katherine to work every day with a note attached to her blouse that read, “Have fun with her, Gerard. She’s your problem now.”

Katherine Heigl has done something we’ve all been guilty of – flirting with a co-worker. The male stars of Grey’s Anatomy are mostly a little old for Katherine, or married, or gay. She found out the hard way when T.R. Knight resisted her initial advances:

The ‘Knocked Up’ beauty was single when shooting began on the hit US show – and 35-year-old hunk Knight caught her eye.

But the actress’ romantic plans didn’t make result in any romantic liaisons – because her lustful looks were ignored as Knight is gay.

She says: “When we were filming the pilot I was single and so was he and I kind of had my eye on him. I was getting nowhere and I was super-confused.

“I was like, ‘Hello? Do I have something hanging out of my nose? Why aren’t you paying any attention to me? Needless to say, it quickly became a friendship once he told me.”

Ireland Online

Katherine got over her rejection pretty quickly and hooked up with sensitive crooner Josh Kelley, and then made no secret of her desire to get married.

She said: “I didn’t propose to Josh – but I suggested strongly that he should propose to me. One day we were sitting in my house, chatting and having a glass of wine, and I said, ‘How do you feel about marriage? Where do you feel this relationship is going? Because I don’t just want to date anymore.

“I had got to the place in my life when I was ready for a commitment. He was so nervous when he actually did it – I found it really endearing!”
