Katherine Heigl Betters Herself for Naleigh

She sounds just like I thought – TRASHY, just like the movie Knocked up? Potty mouth and smoking GROSS!

I’d say movies like Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth put her into edgy territory, yes. Not exactly kiddie material, are they? I’m just still wishing she hadn’t left Grey’s Anatomy. Her character was unbearable much of the time, but it’s not the same without her.

I do not miss her on Grey’s one bit actually! Annoying character. I know she can be annoying most of the time, but I’m surprised everyone is bashing her when she says she’s quit. Think of all the celebs who smoke. And Gwyneth Paltrow is famous for her potty mouth too. Actually isn’t Gwyneth still a smoker? Anyway I think it’s great she quit, she used to be always photographed with a cigarette in her hand. It would probably be easier for a woman who faced pregnancy to quit because of harm to the fetus. So I think good for her on this one.

Cut her some slack people! She quit smoking for goodness sakes- that’s a good thing!

Sadie… we get it. You’re not a fan of Katherine Heigl (but are a big fan of the word trashy). No need to repost 3 times:P

What?? She quit smoking quite a while ago. It’s awesome that she beat such a nasty habit for her daughter and herself.

She rubs me the wrong way…………..

I think you are all missing the point. She is saying she QUIT smoking for her daughter, and that she is curtailing her language habits for her daughter. Why slam her for being that way before if she’s acknowledged it and doing something about it? Nobody’s perfect and if not one of you smokes and not one of you has ever uttered a swear word in your life (despite having children), then I’ve officially fallen off my chair.

And maybe the term ‘edgier’ here (also meaning “more edgy”) means that she is being offered edgier roles, and/or that she’s pursuing them. It doesn’t actually mean that her previous movies are edgy. JMO.

I think it’s sad that CBB is full of people who judge and slam specific celebrities so religiously. Katherine never gets a break despite all articles demonstrating that she is providing her daughter with a loving family and home. Even if you don’t like her movies or her characters, isn’t that something to be commended?

You guys are sad people. She’s a human being that has flaws and admits that freely. Just another group of people who sit around that are jealous of someones fame and popularity and obviously hold a grudge about a pointless T.V. show.

I think it’s great that she chose to adopt a child that needed help! It’s an amazing gift to give to someone. It’s obviously opened her heart and her mind and made herself a better person. I don’t see anyone on here adopting children that need the help. Just simply criticizing those that do. Grow up.

And who in their right mind can honestly say that they’ve never cursed in their life? I want to know ONE parent on here that has never cursed!!! Whether or not you were a parent at the time, if it makes her trashy, it makes you trashy. Everyone curses and people do have bad habits. At least she’s chosen to overcome that rather than sit around on the computer all day while you should be tending to your children rather than being jealous of someone that has something you will never achieve. Get over it.

I always post under the name “Sadie” but now I’ve changed it to SadieA because there’s obviously more than one of us!

Anyways, I think its fantastic Katherine quit smoking! So many parents don’t care whether or not their kids see their bad habits. It’s great that she is trying to be the best role model she can for her daughter!

Katherine Heigl travelled to the other side of the world to adopt a little girl, even though she has a heart defect that will undoubedly cost her a fortune in medical bills. Judging by the many interviews she’s done recently, she can’t stop talking about how much she loves her. And now she’s trying to quit smoking and swearing so her daughter will have a healthier environment to grow up in. If Naleigh hadn’t been adopted, she could very well have grown up without a family; maybe even died from lack of proper medical care. Katherine Heigl basically saved this girl’s life.

And people are calling her trashy.

I actually find her the opposite of refreshing. A lot of parents decide to quit smoking or swearing after having children. They don’t go around making public proclamations about it like they’re above everyone else.

I’m so glad to hear she quit smoking. Congrats to her!

I see from the comments that Katherine is being skewered for her honesty. This is just jealousy rearing its ugly head. She is beautiful and talented and is creating a lovely childhood for her daughter.

Well said, Gianna. This post really made me like her more. Some people will find a negative angle for everything.

Wow…so she used to smoke and she swears?! Oh my word! Shocking that a celebrity is HUMAN! (gasps) People need to ease up. Guess what, women swear! Some women have smoked and struggled with that addiction. And she probably used smoking (sadly) as a way to control her weight. So now she’s quit and if swearing is something so awful, well add me to the ‘awful mother’ list as I have swore around my son on occasion. Jeez folks, throttle it back a notch.

Jealousy is U•G•L•Y

It’s getting worse and worse here. I’m utterly fascinated at how an interview can work up sooooo much animosity in some people.

It’s good to see that she quit smoking. That’s quite an accomplishment, baby or no baby.

She probably wasnt implying that it was harder for her than everyone else. In fact, I think she adknowledged that celebrities have an easier time of it than other moms in a different article.
If you previously liked her, and the started hating on her just because of that comment shows that you are hypercritical of celebrities. She is a human, just like you are. Grow up and quit being a hypocrite.

@ Andilea – No I never liked her, and have never watched Grey’s Anatomy. Knocked up was enough for me to not like her. After reading her comments about how hard and difficult her job was that was what bugged me and still does to this day.
So no I am not a hypocrite nor jealous of her. I just dont like her thats all.
Its amazing how some of you act like you know Katherine personally and don’t want anything negative said about her, yet you don’t know me but dont mind dishing out the negative comments towards me.

I have no doubt that Katherine loves her daughter, but I find it very unsettling how much she talks about her in the press, like she’s trying to improve her image and make her more likable (read bankable) because she’s a mom now. I know she’s not the only one who does this. Heigl’s always been outspoken, but it just seems like she’s speaking even more about her daughter now because she has a movie to promote. I have a son, I love talking about him, but as a public relations professional I have to question her motivations.

I’ve never understood why women dislike this actress so much. Still don’t.

to ecl,
Yes I come to this site to read about celebrities and their kids, However not all celebrities speak about their kids so excessively when promoting a movie. Just because she’s asked about her kid does not mean she has to answer. The way she goes on about her daughter when she’s supposed to be promoting a movie gives off a vibe to me that she is attempting to repair a somewhat unlikable personality. It’s my opinion, and I probably am more cynical because I work in PR. As a publicist, I see how this strategy works, (look at Nicole Ritchie) but as a mother, I cringe.

Sadie…

*You* posted **SIX** times, calling this complete stranger trashy, gross, foul mouthed and vulgar…. and said you disliked her because she gave an interview and said her job was hard (oh my!).

*I* said it was good that she quit smoking.

Want to point out what makes you think that I would be jealous of her?

You crack me up, darlin’!

“Knocked up was enough for me to not like her. ”

How can you possibly not like someone because of a movie role? I understand not liking someone as an actress, but to personally dislike someone because of a movie role doesn’t make sense. You do understand she was ACTING in that movie, right? And that that was a role she played, not relective of her actual real-life personality.

@amy, you are a hypocrite so maybe you should work on that before you judge anyone else

The only articles this website are going to print are the ones where she is talking about her daughter otherwise they wouldnt be relevant to the site. To say that she is constantly talking about her daughter to give herself a better image when the only quotes from the interviews you read are about her daughter is in my opinion wrong.

to lee, I’m not sure how you think you “called me out.” I, like many others state my opinion, there was nothing hypocritical about it. If I came on here talking excessively about my child, then yes, I would be a hypocrite. My statement of opinion is not hypocritical.

How can You hate a celebrity based on ONE movie? That sounds like a lot of effort for nothing to me unless You are chronically angry. I can’t remember having seen her in anything except for an occasional episode of Grey’s anatomy, but I seriously wouldn’t judge her character for that, that would be ridiculous. As for the interviews, she strikes me as kind of straight forward and frank, which I guess sort of clashes with her (previous) classic movie star style. Maybe thats why she seems to rub people the wrong way?
