I am saddened to announce the ending of the almost 7-year marriage of actress Kate Winslet and American Beauty director Sam Mendes. In a statement, their lawyers say, "The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children." The couple has a son, Joe, who is 6 and Kate had a daughter, Mia, 9, from a previous marriage.
I am so very pleased to announce that Katherine Heigl seems to have been let go from her role as Izzie Stephens on Grey's Anatomy. She had been scheduled to take off 3 months of maternity leave to care for her daughter Naleigh, the baby that she and husband Josh Kelley adopted from South Korea. And she was supposed to report back to work on March 1st. Only she, just, well, didn't.
Rumor has it that Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes - probably happily - agreed to let her our of her contract. However I felt about her character (which was HATE), Heigl sealed her fate for me when she announced that she wasn't submitting anything for Emmy consideration because the writers hadn't written good enough material for her.
I agree with you on that comment that she made which seriously pissed me off...but it's weird I was thinking the other night when I saw 27 Dresses on tv again - why does everyone hate her? (I don't - I too loooooathe her character on Grey's but is that her fault?). I can't remember Ali - did people hate her before she said that ridiculous statement?
she also had that whole thing with Isaiah Washington where she publicly slammed him for his whole thing with TR Knight. I think that's where her trouble with her show and costars started.
