Heigl's Not Playing |
|
| If you are a UFO freak, you know Katherine Heigl
from TV’s Roswell, about Tabasco-swilling teenage
extraterrestrials. If you’re just a plain old freak, you know
Heigl from 1998's Bride of Chucky, in which the
now-25-year-old actress fended off the advances of a murderous
carrot topped toy. “They had people off-camera working the
puppet, and they’d totally fuck with you,” Heigl recalls. “I’d
be holding the doll, and they’d use his little hand to start
molesting me.” Now Heigl’s gone legit with a new TV drama,
Grey’s Anatomy, in which she and three surgical interns
fight for lives (and sleep) in a Seattle hospital.
"I have always found it fascinating how much of a voice the
public gives celebrities. It's just interesting to me because
it's not like we did that much to deserve having so many people
hanging on our every word.....I'm not quite at that level yet.
But I've thought about the projects I've done and how often they
are just kind of fluff, whatever, you know entertainment, and
how often they actually have something to say."
Next year, she’ll appear with jackass Johnny Knoxville in the
Farrelly brothers’ The Ringer. “It’s about a young man
who fixes the Special Olympics for money,” says Heigl, who plays
a volunteer and attracts Knoxville’s character, a sicko who
pretends to be developmentally disabled in order to compete. “South
Park did an episode just like it,” says Heigl. “Everybody
was furious.” Not everybody, Katherine. The freaks will love
this, too. |
