Last week, after we'd had that pretty fierce run at
Katie Holmes and her pants, someone e-mailed me to suggest that I was picking on her for no reason because I don't like her -- to which I responded truthfully that, no, I was picking on her because she'd clearly had a mental break while standing in the middle of Tom's walk-in closet, and that I actually am kind of rooting for her to keep it together and speak for herself and kill it on Broadway.
However, I do have bias problems with Katherine Heigl. Like Jessica with Sarah Paulson and
Studio 60, I can't separate Katherine Heigl from... well, the version of herself that is Katherine Heigl, The Actress, Who Comes Off Like A Spoiled, Conceited Brat In All Her Interviews. Ergo, I admit freely that I am totally unable to view this outfit objectively.
[Photo: Splash News]I feel like, in THEORY, it's probably fine? I don't know. It's a little bit like something I expect Pam Anderson to wear -- you know, tiny sandals, skintight skirt, and cheap-looking shiny satin top that juices the grapefruits as much as possible. And while empirically I can admit that it shows off Heigl's figure just fine, the rest of me -- the part that wants her to exile herself to a shed in Siberia for three months so that we can have a break -- can't help thinking rather savagely that Katherine looks kind of desperate and obvious. And overtanned. Also, I really hate her hair in that style, that length, and that overprocessed color, and I hope the
Grey's Anatomy writers reward her "outspokenness" not by killing her off (and thereby giving her what she wants), but forcing her to appear in every single scene with only pointless lines, like, "Here is your ten blade," or, "Hey, has anyone seen George?" or, "OK, Meredith, so I'm working on this really interesting patient, and... oh, never mind, I'm going to go take a nap."
Wow. Cranky! But, the point is, I am totally biased here, and that is why I need you people to provide a dose of perspective.
