Complained to Shonda she wasn't focused on a show not about her
Was a diva on set
Has had a career of just hating stuff she's been on

She fucked with Shonda Rhimes.

You do not fuck with Shonda Rhimes.

And Judd Apatow.

She fucked with Apatow at his prime and Rhimes before her prime.

She doomed her career in both the present and the future.

And isn't it basically known that her & her momager (mom manager) have been known to be extremely hard to work with her whole career - going all the way back to her being a kid?
 
Heigl sounds like a truly awful person, but I have to give her some love for shitting on Apatow. His work deserves it for the most part.
He shat on his work when people only liked her in that film. She always did something, found something she thought was better where her acting got even worse and shat on the old thing.
 
You want to share why you feel this way?
Not to speak for dead souls, but Apatow's movies do have a strong bent of traditional family values to them and a hint of misogyny. Heteronormative relationships required.

Also, he's a poor director who requires editors to save his ass since he just calls action and lets actors improv for ages. He shot a million feet of film on 40 Year Old Virgin and Universal had to eventually order editors to the set to dictate what they needed to actually put scenes together. For better or worse, that film was a success and his bloated, meandering movies have continued.
 
Misogynistic tendencies in his films (at least early films) I'm guessing.
I mean I never really noticed this I guess.

Traditional values?? I don't really see that at all, and Apatow is a pretty big liberal I think. And I don't see anything wrong with having heteronormative relationships either. Poor director I can see, he even admits that he is not a stronger one. I also see his allowing lots of improv as a good thing, let's the actors act in more humorous ways in order to get the best parts.
 
At this point, your show has a better chance just casting a fresh face over going with Heigl. It's pretty obvious she isn't a draw, and might actually be pushing audiences away. Dulé, Laverne, and Dreama are all treasures, they'll be good.

What are we thinking the Oscar numbers will be? Up or down from last year?
 
Pete Holmes straight up said that the funniest stuff from Crashing came from Apatow's directed improv.

Apatow makes really strong comedy. It just runs a little long.

Apatow being a liberal doesn't mean his films reflect stated political or social views. His films consistently bestow preferential treatment on conventional relationships and men.

Improv is good for jokes, less good for a cohesive and fluid finished product.

Down. Everything's down.

Didn't she also turn down an award nomination during Grey's Anatomy because she claimed that the writing wasn't good enough to deserve an award or something?

I wonder how many years she's got left until the demons she sold her soul to come to claim it. That has to be the reason why people keep giving her roles.
 
there's a Blacklist spinoff? O_o

edit: oh there it is, I didnt see it before. The Blacklist Redemption, with Tom huh? Nobody cares about that show except for James Spader, I dont know what they were thinking :/

The only reason to be interested is Femme Janessen.

Also Heigl being canceled is a sunrise->sunset thing.
 
Famke

get it right fool!

Whatever. You got the point. Xenia Onatopp/Ava Moore/Jean Grey stars in it. Which is the only reason to be semi-interested in the show.

She should've filmed a bit in Logan. :(

Now that I'm thinking of Film Actresses that came to TV: Carrie-Ann Moss coming to "Humans" season 2 was a weird shock of a notification for me.
 
Heigl keeps failing again and again yet Hollywood still keeps giving her another chance. I bet we'll hear about her starring in yet another failed TV show by the end of the year.
 
Any news on Timeless?

Giving the night it airs on and the low ratings, I will be pretty surprised if this show gets renewed. It's also pretty expensive to product from what I have heard. At least more so then a lot of their shows.

I was interested in this show until I found out it was on NBC. They canceled my two favorite shows last year and a third this year so I typically don't bother with NBC unless a show performs well and then I'll jump in. I don't expect this to get renewed by hopefully I'll be wrong.

So the only NBC show you'll watch is The Voice, basically. lol

I guess Superstore is a "success" for them.

At that point I think you just don't like the product he sells, bromance comedies. He can do other stuff like Freaks but he seems scared of it flopping so he doesn't leave his niche.
 
Shonda Rhimes would have to die for Heigl to return to show and even then it would be unlikely as Shonda would put something on her will to forbid Heigl to return to Grey's.
ABC owns the show, Rhimes couldn't stop them if they wanted Heigl back on the show.

I feel like the weird twist with Heigel is that everything she says is actually fairly reasonable.
Yeah, she's stupid for biting the hand that feeds her but she wasn't wrong about the things she said about Grey's and Knocked Up.

ABC will not anger Shonda. They don't own any hit shows she doesn't have an hand in. As for Heigl, she was wrong about Grey's Anatomy, she has even admitted it. She simply wanted out the contract she just signed because she got a good movie deal. Ellen Pompeo and Shonda are laughing their ass of every time someone brings that up.
 
Can't believe that Paxton died. RIP.

Wonder if CBS is going to air rest of Training Day episodes or not.

They will air its entirely. I hope they have a "in memory of" sequence and maybe even a short video with some of the cast.

They should. It would be a nice honor to show his last roles. But it certainly won't get a renewal.

Yeah, the show will only be one season now, almost certainly.
 
- THR: Production on CBS' 'Training Day,' Starring Bill Paxton, Has Already Been Completed.
His passing leaves the CBS reboot as his last TV role. Production on the midseason drama was completed in December. Four of the show's 13 episodes have already aired on CBS.
"We are shocked and deeply saddened this morning by the news of Bill Paxton's passing," CBS and producers Warner Bros. Television said in a statement Sunday. "Bill was, of course, a gifted and popular actor with so many memorable roles on film and television. His colleagues at CBS and Warner Bros. Television will also remember a guy who lit up every room with infectious charm, energy and warmth, and as a great storyteller who loved to share entertaining anecdotes and stories about his work. All of us here offer our deepest sympathy to his wife, Louise, and his two children."
Training Day was not expected to be renewed and Paxton's untimely passing makes a second season now increasingly unlikely.
 
I wonder if the remaining episodes of show will get a little bump in ratings because of the death of Bill Paxton.

I'd have thought so. While not a great series (I'm told) it is still a fitting tribute in so much as it's a series being broadcast on a mainstream network for all to see.
